Fig. 1 is a top perspective view of a fan module support 100. Among other things, fan module support 100 may be used in conjunction with fan modules in a computer (or server) system, such as a server system. Computer (or server) systems typically include a number of components, such as processors (processors), memory modules (memory modules), power supplies (power supplies), connection ports (connection ports), and motherboards (motherboards), located within a chassis (chassis). Individual components in a computer (or server) system may generate and dissipate heat, generate heat, or radiate heat. Therefore, if a cooling mechanism (cooling mechanism) is absent, heat in the system may accumulate. Fan with cooling deviceDie BlockThe rack 100 may support fan modules for cooling the temperature of a computer (or server) system. The fan module support 100 may be placed within a computer (or server) system. The detailed description is as follows.

The fan module support 100 may include a base 102, a first sidewall 104, and a second sidewall 106. The base 102 is substantially perpendicular to the first sidewall 104 and the second sidewall 106. The first sidewall 104 and the second sidewall 106 are substantially parallel to each other. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the fan module support 100 is made of a plastic having high heat resistance, such as, but not limited to, polycarbonate (polycarbonate), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), polyimide (polyimide), polyoxymethylene (polyoxymethylene), polyvinyl chloride (polyvinyl chloride), polytetrafluoroethylene (polytetrafluoroethylene), polyamide-imide (polyamide-imide), polypropylene (polypropylene), polyphenylene sulfide (polyphenylene sulfide), polyphenylene oxide (polyphenylene oxide), polyethylene (polyethylene), polyurethane (polyurethane), and polystyrene (polystyrene). In other embodiments, the fan module support 100 may be made of a different material, such as metal or rubber.

Seat 102 includes a plurality of stops (stoppers)108, a hollow cylinder 110 adjacent to stops 108, a slot 112, a first edge 114, a second edge 116, a third edge 118, and a fourth edge 120. When the fan module is assembled into fan module support 100, each stop 108 will contact a corresponding alignment feature (registration features) of the fan module. The stop 108 protrudes from the corner of the base 102 and may be made of the same material as the base 102. In other embodiments, the stop 108 may be permanently or temporarily attached to the base 102, such as by adhesive or by heat treatment, after the base 102 is fabricated. In the present embodiment, the stopper 108 has a substantially rectangular cross section. The stop member 108 forms a space into which a corresponding alignment feature of the fan module can be inserted. In other embodiments, the stop 108 may have a cross-section of a different shape, such as circular or triangular, and may not have any corner cut off. The stop 108 is generally positioned along a first edge 114 and a second edge 116 of the seat 102. In the present embodiment, four stoppers 108 are provided; and at least a portion of each stop 108 abuts the first edge 114 or the second edge 116 of the seat 102. However, in other embodiments, more or less than four stops 108 may be provided.

In this embodiment, there are three hollow cylinders 110 on the base 102 that extend through the base 102 or abut a rounded surface on the base 102. In other embodiments, more or less than three cylinders 110 may be used, depending on the number of cylinders connecting fan module support 100 to the chassis. The cylinder 110 may have a shape other than a circle, such as a rectangle or a triangle. The cylinder 110 is generally located near a first edge 114 or a second edge 116 of the base 102. The cylinder 110 is also generally positioned adjacent the stop 108. The cylinder 110 includes an opening that extends through the base 102 and allows a fastener (fastener) to attach the base 102 to the housing. A protrusion (e.g., a pin or nail) in the housing of the computer (or server) system may be inserted into the opening of the cylinder 110. Thus, the cylinder 110 can fix the fan module support 100 to the chassis.

In this embodiment, the two slits (slit)112 are generally rectangular in shape. In other embodiments, the slots 112 may have different shapes with varying sizes, and there may be more than one slot 112 on each side of the fan module support 100. The slit 112 extends generally longitudinally (length) between a first edge 114 and a second edge 116. In this embodiment, the slot 112 is located on the third edge 118 or the fourth edge 120 of the base 102. The slit 112 allows the first and second sidewalls 104, 106 to bend away from the base 102 at a position vertically above the third and fourth edges 118, 120, respectively, relative to the base 102, without separating or breaking. Thus, the slots 112 may allow the first and second sidewalls 104, 106 of the fan module support 100 to exhibit greater malleability and flexibility.

The first side wall 104 of the base 102 includes two catches 122, a vent 124, and a first side wall top 128. In the present embodiment, two hooks 122 having a substantially rectangular cross section protrude outward from the first side wall 104. The catch 122 has a support member 136 and includes a projection 126 extending outwardly from one end of the support member 136. The protrusion 126 is located at an end opposite to the first side wall 104 and extends outwardly from the support member 136 of the hook 122. The catches 122, support members 136, and tabs 126 secure the fan module bracket 100 to a fan module, as described below. The catch 122 is generally positioned near the first sidewall top 128. However, in the present embodiment, the hook 122 is not adjacent to the first sidewall top 128.

In the present embodiment, the vent 124 has a plurality of through holes 138 arranged in a circular pattern, thereby forming the vent 124 aligned with a circular exhaust duct (exhaust) of the fan module. Each through hole 138 in the vent 124 is generally arcuate. Each through-hole 138 has three other through-holes approximately equal in size and arranged rotated approximately ninety degrees from each other relative to the arc center of the through-hole 138. Each through hole is a quarter of a circle (circle) or a quarter of a circle constituting a circular pattern (circular pattern). Wherein, the circular pattern has three concentric and overlapped circular pattern regions (circular-patterned sections). In other words, in the present embodiment, the vent 124 has twelve through holes 138, includes three circular pattern areas, and is divided into four quarters. Thus, on the first sidewall 104, four quarters of the vent 124 are located, one on each of the four approximate quarters of the first sidewall 104.

The second side wall 106 of the base 102 includes two catches 122, a vent 124, and a second side wall top 130. Similar to the first side wall 104, it comprises two hooks 122 with a substantially rectangular cross section, projecting outwards from the second side wall 106. The catch 122 has a support member 136 that includes a projection 126 extending outwardly from one end of the support member 136. The tab 126 is located at an end opposite the second side wall 106 and extends outwardly from a support member 136 of the catch 122. The catches 122, support members 136, and tabs 126 secure the fan module bracket 100 to a fan module, as described below. The catch 122 is generally positioned adjacent the second sidewall top 130. However, in the present embodiment, the hook 122 is not adjacent to the second sidewall top portion 130.

Similar to the first sidewall 104, in the present embodiment, a plurality of vents 124 are arranged in a circular pattern in the second wall 106. Each through hole 138 in the vent 124 is generally arcuate. Each through-hole 138 has three other through-holes approximately equal in size and arranged rotated approximately ninety degrees from each other relative to the arc center of the through-hole 138. Each through hole is a quarter of a circle or a quarter of a circle constituting a circular pattern. Wherein, the circular pattern has three concentric and overlapped circular pattern areas. In other words, in the present embodiment, the vent 124 has twelve through holes 138, includes three circular pattern areas, and is divided into four quarters. Thus, four quarters of the vent 124 on the second wall 106 are located approximately four quarters of the second side wall 106, respectively. The circular cut-out also retains circular material connecting the four quadrants of the second wall 106.

In addition, the second sidewall 106 includes a V-shaped notch 132. The shape of the recess 132 is generally triangular. In this example embodiment, the notch 132 is located on the right side edge 134 of the second side wall 106. In other embodiments, the notches 132 may be provided on different edges of the second sidewall 106 or the first sidewall 104, and there may be more than one notch 132 on the fan module support 100. The recess 132 is located adjacent to the base 102. The notch 132 may provide a space for inserting wires or cables into the second wall 106 to connect to a fan module mounted in the fan module support 100.

Referring to FIG. 2, the features of the fan module support 100 can be seen from a bottom perspective. In particular, a cylinder 110 is visible on the base 102. The cylinder 110 extends through the base 102 and includes a through hole for receiving a pin for mounting the fan module support 100 to a rack of a computer (or server) system. Fig. 2 shows one of the slits 112 having a rectangular shape. The fourth edge 120 is adjacent to the second sidewall 106 and the base 102. Similarly, the third edge 118 is adjacent to the first sidewall 104 and the base 102.

Fig. 3A and 3B illustrate a process of installing the fan module 300 into the fan module support 100 of fig. 1 and 2. Fan module 300 includes a first side 302, a second side 304, a third side 306, a fourth side 308, a top side 310, and a bottom side 312. In the present embodiment, the protruding tab (protruding tab)320 on each of the first side 302 and the second side 304 of the fan module 300 has four openings 314. The fan module 300 has a plurality of protrusions 320 at four corners of the first side 302, the second side 304, and the middle side 318. The fan module 300 is generally rectangular in shape. The apertures 314 may be used to secure, fix, or fasten the fan module 300. In some embodiments, there may be more or less than four apertures 314 on each of the plurality of tabs 320 of the first side 302, the second side 304, or the middle side 318 of the fan module 300. A series of fan blades 316 are connected to a hub in the fan module 300. The hub is connected to a motor (motor) that rotates the fan blades 316 to generate an airflow. The fan module 300 also includes wiring to provide power to the motor of the fan module 300 to rotate the fan blades 316 when the fan module 300 is in an activated state.

In this embodiment, first sidewall 104 of fan module support 100 is substantially aligned with first side 302 of fan module 300. Similarly, the second sidewall 106 is substantially aligned with the second side 304. The base 102 is generally aligned with the bottom side 312. Accordingly, the first sidewall 104, the second sidewall 106, and the base 102 form a support portion (support) for the fan module 300 to be inserted therein.

First, as shown in fig. 3A, the fan module 300 is aligned with the fan module support 100. FIG. 3B illustrates a second step in the process of installing fan module 300 into fan module support 100. In a second step, fan module 300 is positioned with fan module support 100 such that first sidewall 104 is aligned with first side 302 and second sidewall 106 is aligned with second side 304. The user may use their finger or a tool to move the first sidewall 104 to tilt the first sidewall top 128 away from the base 102 by applying a stress to the first sidewall top 128 in a direction away from the base 102. At the same time, the user can use their finger or tool to move the second sidewall 106, tilting the second sidewall top 130 away from the substrate 102 by applying a stress to the second sidewall top 130 in a direction away from the substrate 102. When the first and second sidewalls 104, 106 are pulled away from the base 102, the space between the first and second sidewalls 104, 106 is greater than the length of the fan module 300. Accordingly, when a stress is applied to pull the first and second sidewalls 104, 106 apart, the fan module 300 may be inserted into the fan module support 100 because the fan module support 100 is in the deployed position. As previously described, the first and second sidewalls 104 and 106 may be bent relative to the third or fourth edges 118 and 120, respectively, without breaking to increase the distance between the first and second sidewall 104 and 106 sides.

After fan module bracket 100 is in the extended position depicted in FIG. 1, fan module 300 may be placed within fan module bracket 100 such that bottom side 312 of fan module 300 is adjacent base 102, as shown in FIG. 3B. The fan module 300 may be moved in a downward direction by a user or a tool to place the fan module 300 in the fan module support 100. The catches 122 and tabs 126 on the first and second side walls 104, 106 are stretched outward a distance away from the base 102 so that the fan module 300 can move downward into the fan module support 100 without obstruction. Therefore, when the fan module bracket 100 is in the deployed position, the distance between the hooks 122 on the first side wall 104 and the hooks 122 on the second wall 106 is greater than the length of the fan module 300.

Fig. 4A illustrates a fan assembly 400 including fan module support 100 and fan module 300. The third and final step in mounting fan module 300 in fan module support 100 is to ensure proper alignment of fan module 300. Once fan module 300 is placed in fan module support 100, the user may relieve the stress applied to maintain first sidewall 104 and second sidewall 106 in a position away from base 102. After relieving the stress, the first sidewall 104 of the fan module support 100 is bent back and abuts against the first side 302 of the fan module 300; the second side wall 106 is also bent back and adjacent to the second side 304 of the fan module 300. In some embodiments, because the fan module 300 is supported only by the first and second sidewalls 104, 106, the base 102 is not in contact with the bottom side 312 of the fan module 300.

Once fan module 300 is aligned with fan module support 100, tabs 320 of fan module 300 may be positioned between stop 108 and first sidewall 104 or second sidewall 106 of fan module support 100. In the present embodiment, the two tabs 320 closest to the third edge 118 are located between the first sidewall 104 and the two stops 108 closest to the first sidewall 104. Similarly, the two tabs 320 closest to the fourth edge 120 are located between the stop 108 and the second wall 106. Thus, each stop 108 may be designed to support a fan module 300 in the fan module support 100. A user may need to adjust the position of the first side 302 and the second side 304 of the fan module 300 to ensure the positioning of the fan module 300.

Once fan module 300 is aligned with fan module bracket 100, hooks 122 and tabs 126 (as shown in fig. 1-3B) of first side wall 104 of fan module bracket 100 may be placed within openings 314 of first side 302 of fan module 300. Before releasing the stress in the direction away from the base 102, it is necessary to ensure that the hooks 122 and protrusions 126 of the first sidewall 104 are aligned with the openings 314 on the corresponding side 302 of the fan module 300. Thus, the user may need to adjust the hook 122 or protrusion 126 to be placed in the opening 314. In the embodiment, two hooks 122 of the first sidewall 104 are disposed in the corresponding openings 314 of the fan module. Thus, a user may need to align the two hooks 122 with the corresponding apertures 314 before releasing the stress of moving them away from the base 102. In other embodiments, there may be more or less than two hooks 122 on the first side wall 104 for aligning with the openings 314 on the first side 302. Similarly, the user can use the same procedure to ensure that the hooks 122 and protrusions 126 on the second side wall 106 of the fan module support 100 align and snap into the openings 314 on the second side 304 of the fan module 300. The catches 122 may secure the top side 310 and the bottom side 312 of the fan module 300 within the fan module bracket 100.

In some embodiments, the tab 126 extends outwardly from the first side 302 or the second side 304 and extends completely through the aperture 314. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4A, the protrusion 126 is adjacent to the inner region 402 of the fan module 300 and located on a region opposite to the opening 314. Each opening 314 has a hook 122 inserted therethrough. Each corresponding inner region 402 is in contact with at least a portion of the tab 126 of the catch 122. The purpose of the tabs 126 is to allow the fan module 300, in the installed position, to remain tightly coupled to the fan module support 100. More specifically, the protrusion 126 of the hook 122 of the first sidewall 104 can enable the first side 302 of the fan module 300 to be close to or adjacent to the first sidewall 104. Similarly, the protrusion 126 of the hook 122 of the second side wall 106 can enable the second side 304 of the fan module 300 to be close to or adjacent to the second wall 106.

A user may easily remove fan module 300 from fan module support 100. This process is similar to the three steps previously described, except that the user first needs to apply stress to the tab 126, pulling the tab 126 back completely out of the opening 314. The user can then pull the first and second sidewalls 104 and 106 away from the base 102 until the catch 122 and protrusion 126 are no longer inserted within the opening 314. Thereafter, the user may move the fan module 300 upward such that the distance between the bottom side 314 of the fan module 300 and the base 102 increases and the components are no longer aligned.

Referring to fig. 4B, a front view of the fan assembly 400 illustrates the first side wall 104 of the fan module support 100 and the first side 302 of the fan module 300. In the present embodiment, the vent 124 is located proximate to the fan blade 316. The through holes 138 of the vent 124 allow airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blades 316 of the fan module 300 to be transmitted therethrough. The vent 124 also provides a barrier for a user to make contact with the fan blades 316 with the user's fingers or hands, particularly when the fan module 300 is in an activated state and the fan blades 316 are rotating. The vents 124 may also provide a barrier for other components in the computer (or server) system so that the other components are not susceptible to contact with the fan blades 316.

Referring to fig. 5, the fan assembly 400 may be installed in a housing 502 of a computer (or server) system 500. In this embodiment, the plurality of cylinders 110 on the base 102 of the fan module support 100 may engage any one of a series of latches 504 on the bottom 506 of the housing 502. In this embodiment, three latches 504 are aligned with openings through the three cylinders 110 of the fan module support 100 in each mounting position of the chassis 502. In other embodiments, there may be more or less than three latches 504 on the housing 502, depending on the number of cylinders 110 on the fan module support 100. The pins 504 may also be nails (nails), screws (screws), fasteners (fasteners), dowels (dowels), bolts (bolts), pegs (pegs), or rods (rows), among others. The purpose of the latches 504 is to secure the fan assembly 400 inside the enclosure 502 while minimizing the underutilized or unutilized space in the enclosure 502. Thus, in this embodiment, the arrangement of the fan assembly 400 in the rack 502 allows for flexible mounting of other assemblies into the rack 502.
