Description

Fan mount

The invention relates to a fan mount.

In computer systems, the fan is usually attached to a fan fixture. However, there are many types of fans, and if a corresponding fan fixing device is made for each fan of different sizes, the cost will inevitably increase.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a fan mount capable of fixing fans of different sizes.

A fan fixing base includes a fixing member and a movable member slidably assembled to the fixing member, the fixing member includes a first panel and two side plates parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first panel, the movable member includes a first The second panel and the plurality of sliding arms extending perpendicularly from the second panel and slidably coupled to the side panels of the fixing member.

Compared with the prior art, the movable member of the fan fixing seat is slidably assembled to the fixing member, and the size of the fan fixing seat can be changed to conveniently fix fans of different sizes.

1 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a fan mount of the present invention.

2 is an assembled, isometric view of the fan mount and a first fan of FIG.

3 is an assembled, isometric view of the fan mount and a second fan of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the fan holder of the present invention comprises a fixing member 1 , a movable member 2 and two latches 5 .

The fixing member 1 includes a square first panel 12 and two side panels 14 that are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first panel 12, respectively. A venting portion 120 having a "ten"-shaped spoke is disposed in the middle of the first panel 12. A fixing hole 122 is defined in each of the four corners of the first panel 12. A guide rail 142 perpendicular to the first panel 12 is respectively protruded from the top and the bottom of each of the side plates 14. The top of each side panel 14 defines a through hole 140 extending through the side panel 14 from top to bottom away from one end of the first panel 12.

The movable member 2 includes a second panel 20 having the same shape as the first panel 12 and four sliding arms 22 extending perpendicularly from the four corners of the second panel 20 respectively. Each of the sliding arms 22 includes a base portion and a side portion perpendicular to the base portion. The base portion defines a sliding slot 222 along the length thereof, and a latching portion 220 is formed away from one end of the second panel 20.

The pin 5 includes a rod body 50 and a head portion 52 extending from one end of the rod body 50 and having a diameter slightly larger than the width of the rod body 50 and the sliding groove 222.

Referring to FIG. 2 , when assembling, the four sliding arms 22 of the movable member 2 are slidably sleeved on the guide rails 142 of the two side plates 14 of the fixing member 1 . The rod 50 of the two pins 5 correspondingly passes through the sliding slot 222 of the movable member 2 and the corresponding through hole 140 of the fixing member 1 and is blocked Stopping the latching portion 220 of the movable member 2, the head portion 52 of the two latches 5 is stopped at the base of the corresponding sliding arm 22, thereby slidingly assembling the movable member 2 to the fixing member 1, and the movable member 2 and The fixing members 1 are enclosed by a receiving space 6.

When the first fan 3 having a large size needs to be assembled, the movable member 2 is slid away from the fixing member 1 until the blocking portion 220 of the movable member 2 blocks the two rods 50, and the receiving space 6 is increased. A first fan 3 is interposed between the first panel 12 and the second panel 20, and then locks a plurality of screws (not shown) through the fixing holes 122 and 202 of the first panel 12 and the second panel 20. The locking hole 30 of the first fan 3 fixes the first fan 3 to the fan holder.

Referring to FIG. 3, when a second fan 4 having a smaller size is mounted, the sliding arm 22 of the movable member 2 slides along the guide rail 142 of the fixing member 1 to the first panel 12, and the receiving space 6 is reduced. The two fans 4 are interposed between the first panel 12 and the second panel 20, and then the plurality of screws are locked into the locking holes 40 of the second fan 4 through the fixing holes 122 and 202 of the fan fixing base. The second fan 4 is fixed to the fan holder.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Equivalent modifications or variations made by persons skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
