COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY WITH AIR GUIDER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826520 titled 'COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY WITH AIR GUIDER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a fan assembly that includes a fan, a housing, and an air guider.

  • The fan draws air into its intake and propels it out through the fan exit.
  • The housing is connected to the fan exit and has an inlet and an outlet.
  • The air guider is mounted inside the housing near the inlet and has a conical shape.
  • The air guider tapers from a larger diameter at the base to a smaller diameter at the apex.
  • The smaller diameter of the air guider is less than the diameter of the housing, creating a peripheral volume around the air guider.
  • This peripheral volume acts as a tunnel for the air.
  • The air guider is designed to reduce turbulence of the air as it moves from the inlet to the outlet of the housing.


Original Abstract Submitted

A fan assembly comprises: a fan having a fan intake and a fan exit downstream from the fan intake, wherein the fan is configured to draw air into the fan intake and propel the air downstream through the fan exit; a housing having a housing inlet configured to be coupled to the fan exit and a housing outlet downstream from the housing inlet; and an air guider, mounted inside the housing adjacent to the housing inlet, having a conical shape with a base adjacent to the housing inlet and an apex opposite the base that points towards the housing outlet, wherein the air guider has a first diameter that tapers from the base to the apex, wherein the first diameter is less than a second diameter of the housing to define a peripheral volume surrounding the air guider that serves as a tunnel, wherein the air guider is configured to reduce air turbulence of the air when the air propelled from the housing inlet to the housing outlet.
