BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a fan fixture of the present invention.

2 is a perspective assembled view of FIG. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view showing a state of use of a preferred embodiment of the fan fixing device of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of a fan fixing device of the present invention includes a fan 10 , two magnetic components 20 , two fixing members 30 , and a supporting platform 40 . The two fixing members 30 are made of iron or other ferromagnetic material.

The fan 10 includes a frame 12, an impeller 13 mounted at the center of the frame 12, and a plurality of blades 14 disposed on the periphery of the impeller 13. The frame 12 is provided with two plate bodies 123 spaced along the axial direction of the impeller 13, and each plate body 123 is respectively provided with a fixing hole 125 adjacent to the four corners.

Each of the magnetic components 20 includes a rod-shaped connecting member 21 and a pair of magnets 23. The connector 21 is made of a plastic material or other tough material. Each of the two ends of the connecting member 21 is provided with a receiving portion 214, and each of the receiving portions 214 is provided with a receiving groove toward the outside. The pair of magnets 23 can be respectively fixed to the two receiving slots by means of bonding or snapping.

Each fixing member 30 includes a fixing plate 31. The upper portions of the side edges of the fixing plate 31 respectively extend from the same side to a fixing arm 33 perpendicular to the fixing plate 31. The lower portion of the fixing plate 31 is provided with two through holes 315.

The support table 40 includes a top wall 41 and two opposite side walls 42. A recessed portion 421 is defined in the upper portion of each of the side walls 42 adjacent to the top wall 41. The recessed portion 421 is provided with two protruding resilient portions 423. A loop groove 425 is defined in the abutment of each of the latching portions 423 and the corresponding recessed portion 421.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2 , the two fixing members 30 are respectively fixed to the corresponding recessed portions 421 of the supporting base 40 , and the locking portions 423 of the recessed portions 421 are respectively passed through the through holes 315 of the corresponding fixing members 30 . The through holes 315 are respectively fastened to the grooves 425 of the corresponding fastening portions 423. The bottoms of the fixing plates 31 of the two fixing members 30 respectively abut against the bottom of the corresponding recessed portion 421, and the fixing arms 33 of the two fixing members 30 are supported by the top wall 41 of the supporting platform 40. The two magnets 23 of each magnetic component 20 are respectively fixed to the opposite ends of the corresponding connecting member 21. The two connecting members 21 are bent, so that the two pairs of magnets 23 fixed to the two connecting members 21 respectively are respectively engaged in two pairs of opposite fixing holes 125 which are adjacent to the same side edge of the two plate bodies 123 of the fan 10. The fan 10 is placed on the support table 40 and located between the two fixing members 30. The two sides of the fan 10 are respectively abutted against the fixing plates 31 of the two fixing members 30 , and the plate bodies 123 on the other sides of the fan 10 respectively abut against the corresponding fixing arms 33 of the two fixing members 30 . The fixed arms 33 are directly opposed to the magnets 23 mounted on the fan 10, and are attracted by the magnetic force of the magnets 23 to firmly clamp the fan 10.

When the fan 10 is used, the fan fixing device can be mounted on a support frame 50 having a rotating device 52, so that the blowing direction of the fan 10 can be adjusted as needed to achieve better heat dissipation.

When the fan 10 is to be taken out, the fan 10 can be pulled out from the two fixing members 30 only by applying a force in a direction perpendicular to the top wall 41 of the support table 40, which is convenient to operate.

Referring to FIG. 3, a fan 60 to which the magnetic component 20 is fixed may be further added to the preferred embodiment, and the fan 60 may be fixed to the fan 60 by the magnets 23 mounted on the two fans 10 and 60. The outer side of a plate body 123 of the fan 10. In other embodiments, a fan equipped with a magnetic component may be fixed on the outer side of the other plate 123 of the fan 10.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 21 of each magnetic component 20 of the fan fixing device can be omitted, that is, each magnetic component 20 includes only two magnets 23, and the magnets 23 can be pasted, screwed or other cards. The solid mode is directly installed in the corresponding fixing hole 125 of the fan 10 .

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above The present invention is intended to be a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications and variations of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
