FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a board installed on a circuit board, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a fan of FIG. 2. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 at the same time. The fan 300 is disposed on a first substrate 410 to form a board 400. The board 400 has a control circuit 330. The first substrate 410 of this embodiment has a heat source (not shown), which can be a display card that needs to process a large number of images, a sound effect card that processes sound signals, or other boards that have a heat source and need to dissipate heat. The fan 300 disposed on the first substrate 410 is used to assist the heat source of the first substrate 410 to dissipate heat, so as to maintain the first substrate 410 to operate normally.
Following the above, the board 400 is inserted into the motherboard 500 of the computer through a slot 510 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 500. The fan 300 includes a rotating shaft 310, a plurality of blades 320, and a light emitting diode module 340. The blade 320 is connected to the rotation shaft 310, and the control circuit 330 is electrically connected to the light emitting diode module 340. When the rotating shaft 310 drives the blade 320 to rotate, the light emitting direction of the light emitting diode module 340 is the radial direction of the rotating shaft 310, which is convenient for a user to read the information displayed by the light emitting diode module 340.
In an embodiment, the control circuit 330 may be a control circuit board or a micro controller configured on the rotation axis 310, but those skilled in the art should know that the control circuit 330 may also be provided on the board 400. Or anywhere of the motherboard 500, as long as the light emitting diode module 340 can be driven by the control circuit 330 to emit light. In addition, the light emitting diode module 340 of this embodiment includes a second substrate 342 and a plurality of light emitting diodes 344. The second substrate 342 is connected to the rotation axis 310, and the light-emitting diode 344 is disposed on the outer surface 342a of the second substrate 342, and the normal vector of the surface 342a is the radial direction of the rotation axis 310.
In detail, the second substrate 342 may be a U-shape, and two ends 342 b and 342 c of the second substrate 342 are connected to the rotation shaft 310. In this embodiment, the light emitting diode module 340 is located outside the rotation path of the edge of the blade 320. In other words, the second substrate 342 crosses the blade 320 as shown in FIG. 3. In addition, although the second substrate 342 of this embodiment is an example of a zigzag shape, those skilled in the art can conceivably change the shape of the second substrate 342, such as changing the second substrate 342 to only One end is connected to the rotating shaft 310, and the other end is an L-shaped free end.
Following the above, the control circuit 330 may be used to control all the light-emitting diodes 344 to light up or dark at the same time, or to control a portion of the light-emitting diodes 344 to display information progressively. In addition, the control circuit 330 can also be used to control the information that the LED module 340 wants to display to the user. For example, the control circuit 330 may cause the light emitting diode module 340 to display information inside the computer, such as the temperature of the heat source of the first substrate 410, the overclocking frequency of the computer, the operating speed of the fan, and the like. Alternatively, the information displayed by the light-emitting diode module 340 may be information received by the control circuit 330 from the outside, such as weather temperature, room temperature, ultraviolet coefficient, weather, or stock market information, through software control.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a fan displayed on a board. Please refer to FIG. 4, when the user is using the computer, the heat source of the first substrate 410 will generate heat, and the rotating shaft 310 of the fan 300 will start to drive the blade 320 to rotate. At this time, the light emitting diode 344 of the light emitting diode module 340 is driven by the control circuit 330 to start emitting light and display a message.
It is worth noting that, since the light emitting direction of the light emitting diode module 340 in this embodiment is the radial direction of the rotation axis 310, when the board 400 is inserted on the motherboard 500, the user can The side (that is, the rotation direction of the blade 320) is used to read the information displayed by the light emitting diode module 340. Compared with the prior art, the fan of the present invention and the board using the fan have the advantage that users can easily read messages.
Although this embodiment takes the light emitting diode module 340 outside the rotation path of the edge of the blade 320 as an example, in other embodiments, the light emitting diode 344 of the light emitting diode module 340 may be located on the blade 320. In the rotation path of the edge, it depends on the demand , as shown in Figs. 5A and 5B. However, when the light-emitting diode 344 of the light-emitting diode module 340 is located in the rotation path of the edge of the blade 320, the second substrate 342 is located between two adjacent blades 320 and will rotate with the blade 320. The main purpose is to read the information displayed by the light emitting diode module 340 by using the visual persistence impression of the user's brain.
Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field may refer to the present specification, and the light emitting diode module 340 may be directly formed on the edge of the blade 320 without violating the spirit of the present invention, as long as the light emitting diode is made. The light emitting direction of the module 340 is the radial direction of the rotation axis 310 so that the user can read the information conveniently.

Although this creation has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit this creation. Anyone skilled in this art can make some changes and retouching without departing from the spirit and scope of this creation. Therefore, this creation The scope of protection shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
