Abstract:
Disclosed is a fan module used in electronic equipment and the like. The fan module of the present invention includes a dust-collecting part which has an air’-suction port and an air-discharge port, and which has a rotational region forming a passage linking the air-suction port to the air-discharge port and has a dust-collection box for collecting dust and detritus rotating in the rotational region; and a fan which is joined to one side of the dust-collecting part and makes air flow into the rotational region. The present invention can use centrifugal force to effectively remove various forms of dust and detritus contained in the air which flows into the casings of electronic equipment, household appliances and the like due to the action of a fan. Further, since a filter is not used, there is the advantage that the cooling efficiency is not reduced by the dust collection as the smooth flow of the air being sucked in is not disturbed. Further, from the long-term point of view, the thermal efficiency of electronic equipment and the like can be substantially improved as the amount of dust and detritus accumulated inside electronic equipment is minimized.
