Original Abstract Submitted
A fan motor is disclosed. The fan motor includes an impeller, a rotational shaft, a plurality of bearings, and a heat dissipation fin. The impeller is mounted on the rotational shaft. The plurality of bearings support the rotational shaft. The heat dissipation fin is mounted on the rotational shaft and includes rotating blades rotating centering on the rotational shaft. According to this, the heat dissipation fin may cool the bearing by using convection.
