The invention discloses an oil return structure for a cooling fan. The oil return structure for the cooling fan comprises a base frame, a bearing, a
stator, fan blades and a rotor, wherein the bearing, the
stator, the fan blades and the rotor are installed on the base frame, an upwards protruding and hollow central pillar is formed in the middle of the base frame, the bearing is installed in the central pillar, a rotation shaft is matched with the bearing so that the fan blades can be arranged on the base frame, an oil return frame and an insulating annular piece are installed on the central pillar of the base frame, a first interval is formed between the central pillar of the base frame and the bearing, a second interval is formed between the bearing and the rotation shaft, the parts, making contact with the fan blades, of the oil return frame, the insulating annular piece and the rotation shaft passing through the first interval and the second interval form a plurality of circulating oil-return flowing passages in a matched and blocking mode, and
grease thrown out from the fan blades flows back to the bearing through the oil-return flowing passages. The oil return structure for the cooling fan can basically recycle all the thrown-out lubricating
grease through the oil-return flowing passages, enables the lubricating
grease to be recycled continuously, is high in
backflow efficiency of the lubricating grease, and can effectively reduce
noise and frictional force for a long time.
