Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fan and coupling arrangement thereof, particularly relate to a kind of hot-plug fan and coupling arrangement thereof.
Background technology
Because electronic product is when running, itself can heating raise the environment temperature of total system, and causes the degree of stability of system to descend, even fault.Therefore must use heat abstractor, system held is operated under a stable environment temperature, the most frequently used heat abstractor promptly is a radiator fan at present.And for fear of the running that stops total system because changing the radiator fan of fault, the requirement that can operate in 24 hours with compliance with system, so develop and the hot swappable radiator fan.
The Taiwan patent announcement discloses the server that a kind of drawing and pulling type is changed hot-plug fan for No. 472917, wherein the hot-plug fan module as shown in Figure 1, it comprises a blower tray 11, a hot-plug fan 12 and a grafting circuit board 13.Hot-plug fan 12 is to be fixed in the blower tray 11 with plastic rivet 14, and grafting circuit board 13 is fixed on the blower tray 11 with screw 15.Blower tray 11 is provided with stainless steel shell fragment 16, in order to blower tray 11 is fixed on the server.12 of hot-plug fans utilize grafting circuit board 13 and the plug-and-play circuit plate that is fixed on the server to carry out hot plug.
Because said structure must be embedded in whole hot-plug fan 12 in the blower tray 11, and grafting circuit board 13 protrudes in outside the blower tray 11 so that be connected with server end, therefore whole hot-plug fan module is bigger than the size of script fan, and reduced volume effectively, when server end has living space requiring of restriction, promptly can't satisfy the demands.Simultaneously, the spare part number of said structure is many, and except the handling cost that increases spare part, the risk that the increase of number of assembling steps also causes product quality to produce flaw improves.
In sum, the volume of hot-plug fan module is effectively dwindled, simplifying spare part simultaneously and assembling processing procedure is the problem of needing solution at present badly.
Summary of the invention
At the problems referred to above, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of hot-plug fan and coupling arrangement thereof, and it can make the volume of hot-plug fan module dwindle effectively, with the requirement of compliance with system end for space constraint.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of hot-plug fan and coupling arrangement thereof, it can simplify the spare part number of hot-plug fan module and the manufacturing process step of assembling.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the coupling arrangement of hot-plug fan of the present invention comprises: an at least one terminal and a shell.This terminal forms with a fan and is electrically connected, and when making this fan be installed on this system, this fan forms with this system and is electrically connected.When this shell is assembled in this fan, can fit in this fan housing side wherein, and this shell has a groove to hold the lead that forms electrical connection between this terminal and this fan mutually.At least one end of this shell can be extended out a baffle plate, and is L type or U type structure.In addition, the coupling arrangement of hot-plug fan of the present invention also comprises at least one light emitting diode, is electrically connected with this fan or this terminal, to show the duty of this fan.
Hot-plug fan of the present invention comprises: a fan and a coupling arrangement.This fan has a housing, and this housing has at least one shrinkage pool or teat, and function that all the other fans should possess and manner of execution are identical with existing fan.This coupling arrangement is identical with above-mentioned coupling arrangement, is assembled in this fan, makes this fan can hot plug in a system.
According to the coupling arrangement of hot-plug fan of the present invention, it only is fixed on a wherein side of fan with shell, therefore can effectively dwindle the volume of hot-plug fan module, with the requirement of compliance with system end for space constraint.Simultaneously, hot-plug fan of the present invention and coupling arrangement thereof only are made up of shell and terminal, reduce the spare part number of hot-plug fan module, and the complexity of number of assembling steps is reduced greatly.
