Abstract

A fan frame includes a central base, a frame wall, and a plurality of static blades radially extending from the central base to the frame wall, each static blade is connected to the central base at a first end and connected to the frame wall at a second end, the central base is provided with a first wire groove, the frame wall is provided with a second wire groove, the first wire groove and the second wire groove are configured for accommodating wires, and the second wire groove has a shape same as the second end of the static blade connected to the frame wall for gathering the wires to shape similar to the static blade. A fan assembly including the fan frame is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . A fan assembly comprising:
 a fan frame comprising:   a central base;   a frame wall, and   a plurality of static blades radially extending from the central base outwardly and connected to the frame wall, the plurality of static blades being distributed evenly between the central base and the frame wall, each of the static blades being connected to the central base at a first end and connected to the frame wall at a second end; wherein   the central base is provided with a first wire groove, the frame wall is provided with a second wire groove, the first wire groove and the second wire groove are configured for accommodating wires, and the second wire groove has a shape same as a cross section of the second end of the static blade;   a printed circuit board, disposed in the fan frame and located on the central base of the fan frame; wherein   the printed circuit board is provided with multiple solder joints for connecting to wires, the multiple solder joints are spaced apart from each other, each of the multiple solder joints is elongated on the printed circuit board, and a lengthwise direction of each of the multiple solder joints converges, each of the first wire groove and the second wire groove is a through groove, such that wires connected to the multiple solder joints extend along the lengthwise directions of the multiple solder joints and converge as a ribbon cable extending through the first wire groove and the second wire groove, and a portion of the ribbon cable between the first wire groove and the second wire groove is shaped into a curve having a similar shape as a profile of the static blades.   
     
     
         6 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the solder joints are arranged in a row. 
     
     
         7 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the solder joints are arranged in two rows. 
     
     
         8 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a guiding plate connected between the first wire groove and the second wire groove, the guiding plate has a shape similar to the profile of the plurality of static blades, the wires connected to the multiple solder joints are attached to the guiding plate.   
     
     
         9 . The fan assembly of  claim 8 , wherein
 the guiding plate is provided with multiple guiding channels communicating the first wire groove and the second wire groove, the wires are received in the multiple guiding channels, each of the multiple guiding channels is configured for accommodating one of the wires.   
     
     
         10 . The fan assembly of  claim 8 , wherein
 the wires are attached to the guiding plate by an insulated rubber tape.   
     
     
         11 . The fan assembly of  claim 8 , wherein
 the guiding plate is made of aluminum alloy, copper alloy, or iron.   
     
     
         12 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a supporting shaft arranged in a middle of the frame wall, the central base and the printed circuit board are sleeved on the supporting shaft.   
     
     
         13 . The fan assembly of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a stator mounted on the supporting shaft,   a rotor rotatably mounted on the stator, and   a plurality of dynamic blades mounted on a peripheral of the rotor; wherein   the rotor and the dynamic blades are configured for rotating and generating air flows.   
     
     
         14 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , wherein
 the first wire groove has a shape same as a cross section of the first end of the static blade.   
     
     
         15 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , wherein
 the frame wall comprises an external side and an inner side, the static blades are connected between the central base and the inner side of the frame wall, the inner side forms a cylinder which is concentric with the central base.   
     
     
         16 . The fan assembly of  claim 5 , wherein
 a number of the plurality of static blades ranges from 3 to 30.   
     
     
         17 . The fan assembly of  claim 6 , wherein
 a number of the multiple solder joints is four, each of the multiple solder joints is an elongated oval, and in a direction away from the central base, the multiple solder joints extend towards each other to converge, such that the wires extending along the respective solder joints converge and form the ribbon cable.   
     
     
         18 . The fan assembly of  claim 7 , wherein
 A number of the multiple solder joints is four, each of the multiple solder joints is an elongated oval, and in the direction away from the central base, the multiple solder joints extend towards each other to converge, such that the wires extending along the respective solder joints converge and form the ribbon cable.   
     
     
         19 . The fan assembly of  claim 18 , wherein the ribbon cable is perpendicular to the printed circuit board.
