Abstract

A cooling fan is mounted in a transparent PC case and includes a first winding assembly; a blade assembly; a cross-shaped display device mounted on the blade assembly; a second power source for supplying an oscillation power; a display device including a second winding assembly, a MCU, a memory unit, two LED displays electrically connected to the MCU, two wireless signal receiving members, and a second rectification unit electrically interconnected the second power source and the displays; a wireless receiving unit interconnected the second power source and the MCU; and a wireless data transmission unit adapted to transmit data including operating temperature, voltage, current, and rotating speed of the rotating shaft f from the MCU to the displays for display through the wireless receiving unit when the cooling fan is operating.

Claims

1. A cooling fan mounted in a transparent case of a personal computer (PC), comprising:

a rectangular frame;

a first rectification unit mounted in the frame and electrically connected to a first power source for supplying DC;

a first winding assembly electrically connected to the first rectification unit;

a blade assembly electrically connected to the first power source and comprising a rotating shaft mounted in the first winding assembly, a plurality of blades radially extended from the rotating shaft, and two opposite magnets with the first winding assembly disposed therebetween;

a second power source for supplying an oscillation power;

a cross-shaped display device mounted on the blade assembly and comprising a second winding assembly, a micro-controller unit (MCU) including a plurality of inputs and a plurality of outputs, a memory unit in data communication with the MCU, two opposite LED (light emitting diode) displays electrically connected to the outputs of the MCU, two opposite wireless signal receiving members, and a second rectification unit electrically interconnected the second power source and the displays;

a wireless parameter set unit adapted to set and adjust parameters of the displays as controlled by the MCU when the displays are enabled;

a wireless receiving unit interconnected the second power source and the MCU and adapted to receive a wireless control signal from the wireless parameter set unit;

a calendar unit interconnected a battery and the MCU and adapted to provide date and time data to the MCU;

a clock generator adapted to generate clocks and provide same to the MCU;

a temperature sensor adapted to sense ambient temperature and provide sensed temperature data to the MCU;
