Abstract

A fan module includes a first casing, a driving motor disposed in the first casing, a first rotor connected to the first driving motor, a second casing, a second rotor pivotally configured in the second casing, at least one guiding member and a shift apparatus connected to the first casing and the second casing, the first rotor includes a first rotating shaft and a plurality of first blades, the second rotor includes a second rotating shaft and a plurality of second blades, the guiding member is disposed on the first blade and the second blade. The whole height of the blade is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the two group blades, then the efficiency of the fan is improved effectively to optimize the noise level and the air flow.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fan module comprising,
a first casing;
a first driving motor disposed in the first casing;
a first rotor connected to the first driving motor, wherein the first rotor includes a first rotating shaft and a plurality of first blades, the plurality of first blades are connected to the first rotating shaft;
a second casing;
a second rotor pivotally configured in the second casing, wherein the second rotor includes a second rotating shaft and a plurality of second blades, the plurality of second blades are connected to the second rotating shaft;
at least one guiding member disposed on at least one blade of the plurality of first blades or at least one blade of the plurality of second blades; and
a shift apparatus connected to the first casing and the second casing, configured to drive the second casing to move relative to the first casing.

2. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein the fan module further includes a second driving motor, and the second driving motor is disposed in the second casing to drive the second rotor to rotate, wherein the second rotating shaft is connected to the second driving motor, and the plurality of second blades are connected to the second driving motor.

3. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein when the second casing is connected to the first casing, each blade of the plurality of second blades is partly located between two blades of the plurality of first blades.

4. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein when the second casing is connected to the first casing, a surface of one blade of the plurality of second blades is partly overlapped with a surface of one blade of the plurality of first blades in a direction perpendicular to the surface.

5. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein the shift apparatus is a scissor-shaped linkage to adjust the second casing to move relative to the first casing.

6. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein the shift apparatus includes a top cover and a bottom cover of an electronic device, the first casing is fixed to the bottom cover, the second casing is fixed to the top cover, and the top cover is driven to move relative to the bottom cover.

7. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guiding member is in a cone shape.

8. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guiding member is disposed on one blade of the plurality of first blades, and when the second casing is connected to the first casing, the at least one guiding member is located between two blades of the plurality of second blades.

9. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the at least one guiding member is equal to or less than a width between the two blades of the plurality of second blades.

10. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein an inner surface of the first casing includes a recessed part, when the second casing is connected to the first casing, an end portion of the second casing is accommodated and positioned in the recessed part.

11. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed part is formed at an outer surface of the second casing, when the second casing is connected to the first casing, an end portion of the first casing is accommodated and positioned in the recessed part.

12. The fan module according to claim 1 , wherein a first recessed part is formed at an inner surface of the first casing, a second recessed part is formed at an outer surface of the second casing, when the second casing is connected to the first casing, an end of the second casing is accommodated and positioned in the first recessed part, and an end of the first casing is accommodated and positioned in the second recessed part.
