A fan module including a body and a plurality of blades is provided. The body has a rotating axis and the body is telescopic along the rotating axis to have an elongated state and a shortened state. The blades are respectively disposed on the body and rotate along with the body along the rotating axis. At least a portion of each blade is flexible and a bending state of each blade is changed along with the elongated state or the shortened state of the body. An axial size of each blade along the rotating axis when the body is in the elongated state is greater than the axial size of each blade along the rotating axis when the body is in the shortened state.

Fan module

A fan module including a first body, a second body, a first fan assembly, a power module, and a second fan assembly is provided. The second body is slidably disposed at the first body to form a circulation space together. The first fan assembly is rotatably disposed at the first body and has sliding grooves. The power module is disposed in the first body and connected to the first fan assembly. The second fan assembly is rotatably disposed at the second body and has sliding portions, respectively and slidably disposed in corresponding sliding grooves. The power module is adapted to drive the first and second fan assemblies to rotate relative to the first body. A link module is adapted to drive the first and second bodies to relatively slide along an axial direction, so that the first and second fan assemblies are relatively separated or overlapped along the axial direction.

Fan having first body and second body slidable relative to each other

A thermal module including a first body, a second body, a first fan assembly, a second fan assembly, and a shaft is provided. The first body and the second body are slidably connected to each other and form an accommodating space together. The first fan assembly is disposed in the accommodating space and has a first hub and a plurality of first fan blades. The first hub is connected to the first body. The second fan assembly is disposed in the accommodating space and has a second hub and a plurality of second fan blades, and the second hub is connected to the second body. The first hub and the second hub overlap each other. The shaft is pivotally disposed in the first body and the second body and is engaged with the first fan assembly and the second fan assembly.

Thermal module

An electronic device and a method for controlling a fan operation are provided. A containing space of the electronic device has a fan module and a deformation sensor. The deformation sensor detects whether a fan housing of the fan module is deformed. The deformation sensor transmits a deformation signal to a controller when detecting that the fan housing is deformed. The controller drives a fan blade of the fan module to stop running after receiving the deformation signal.

A docking station suitable for a portable electronic device includes a base, a supporting component and a first fan. The base includes an airflow guiding slope. The supporting component is disposed on the base and has an airflow guiding structure, in which the portable electronic device is configured to be supported on the supporting component. The first fan is disposed in the base and provides a cooling airflow, in which the airflow guiding slope and the airflow guiding structure guide the cooling airflow to flow into the portable electronic device.

Docking station

A thermal conducting medium protector is applicable for being assembled to a carrier, so as to protect a thermal conducting medium disposed on the carrier. The thermal conducting medium protector includes a shell and a cover plate. The shell has a first buckling portion on one side of the shell, and an opening. When the carrier is placed on a side surface of the shell, the thermal conducting medium is located in the opening. The cover plate has a second buckling portion, a first side, on which the second buckling portion is located, and a second side opposite to the first side and pivoted to the shell. When the cover plate rotates along the second side and then span across the carrier placed on the side surface of the shell, the buckling portions are buckled with each other to hold the carrier between the shell and the cover plate.
