Abstract

A fan module includes a framework and at least two blade assemblies arranged inside the framework. Each blade assembly includes at least two blade units arranged in line. The rotating direction of each blade assembly is opposite to that of adjacent blade assembly.

Claims

1. A fan module for dissipating heat, comprising:

a framework defining at least four receiving holes, the at least four receiving holes spaced from each other; and

at least two blade assemblies, wherein each blade assembly comprises at least two blade units, the at least two blade units are axial flow blade units, each blade unit is received in a corresponding receiving hole, the rotating direction of the at least two blade units of each blade assembly is contrary to that of the at least two blade units of adjacent blade assembly, and the at least two blade assemblies are arranged in a line.

2. The fan module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the framework is approximately cuboid and comprises four fixing portions, and each fixing portion comprises two opposite plates;

a through hole is defined in each plate.

3. A fan module for dissipating heat, comprising:

a framework defining a first receiving hole, a second receiving hole, a third receiving hole, and a fourth receiving hole, the four receiving holes spaced from each other and arranged in a straight line;

a first blade assembly comprising a first blade unit and a second blade unit, the first blade unit received in the first receiving hole, the second blade unit received in the second receiving hole; and

a second blade assembly comprising a third blade unit and a fourth blade unit, the third blade unit received in the third receiving hole, the fourth blade unit received in the fourth receiving hole, the rotating direction of the first blade assembly being contrary to that of the second blade assembly.

4. The fan module as claimed in claim 3, wherein the framework is approximately cuboid and comprises four fixing portions, and each fixing portion comprises two opposite plates;

a through hole is defined in each plate.

5. The fan module as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first and second blade units are axial flow blade units.

6. A fan module for dissipating heat, comprising:

a framework defining a first receiving hole, a second receiving hole, a third receiving hole, and a fourth receiving hole, the four receiving holes spaced from each other, the first and second receiving holes arranged in a first straight line, and the third and fourth receiving holes arranged in a second straight line parallel to the first straight line, the four receiving holes arranged in a 2×

2 array;

a first blade assembly comprising a first blade unit and a second blade unit, the first blade unit received in the first receiving hole, the second blade unit received in the second receiving hole; and

a second blade assembly comprising a third blade unit and a fourth blade unit, the third blade unit received in the third receiving hole, the fourth blade unit received in the fourth receiving hole, the rotating direction of the first blade assembly being contrary to that of the second blade assembly.

7. The fan module as claimed in claim 6, wherein the framework is approximately cuboid and comprises four fixing portions, and each fixing portion comprises two opposite plates;

a through hole is defined in each plate.

8. The fan module as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first and second blade units are axial flow blade units.
