Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a device for mounting a fan.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device, together with two fans.
- FIG. 2 is a partially assembled, isometric view of the mounting device of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is an assembled, isometric view of the mounting device of FIG. 1
- an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device for mounting a fan 10 includes a board 20 , a frame 30 (labeled in FIG. 2 ), four fasteners 60 , and four shockproof members 40 .
- the fan 10 includes two spaced plates 12 at opposite ends, each plate 12 defines four corner holes 120 .
- the board 20 can be installed in an electronic device so that airflow from the fan 10 can be directed as desired.
- the board 20 is installed to a bottom wall 70 of a chassis of an electronic device.
- the board 20 defines a vent 24 .
- a substantially wedge-shaped projection 26 protrudes from the board 20 above the vent 24 .
- Two substantially L-shaped blocking pieces 28 extend from the board 20 at opposite sides of the vent 24 .
- Each blocking piece 28 includes a first piece 280 perpendicular to the bottom wall 70 , and a second piece 282 perpendicularly extending from a side of the first piece 280 toward the other blocking piece 28 .
- Each second piece 282 defines two through holes 284 .
- the frame 30 includes a first cover 32 and a second cover 34 .
- the first cover 32 includes a blocking plate 320 and two side plates 322 perpendicularly extending back from opposite sides of the blocking plate 320 .
- a tab 324 substantially perpendicularly extends out from a bottom side of each blocking plate 320 and defines two fixing holes 326 .
- the second cover 34 includes a blocking plate 341 and an L-shaped blocking portion 340 extending from a top of the blocking plate 341 .
- the blocking portion 340 includes a first portion 344 perpendicularly extending outward from the top of the blocking portion 340 and a second portion 346 perpendicularly extending up from a side of the first portion 344 opposite to the blocking plate 341 .
- a substantially wedge-shaped protrusion 342 protrudes from a side of the second portion 346 , facing the first portion 344 .
- the blocking plates 320 and 341 each defines a vent 302 in a center and four corner holes 300 corresponding to the corner holes 120 .
- Each shockproof member 40 is substantially round, and defines a through hole 42 in a center.
- the shockproof member 40 is made of elastic material, such as rubber.
- Each fastener 60 includes a head 62 and an extension portion 64 extending from the head 62 .
- the first and second covers 32 and 34 are attached to opposite ends of the fan 10 .
- the blocking plates 320 and 341 abut against the corresponding plates 12 .
- the side plates 322 abut against opposite sides of the fan 10 .
- the first portion 344 abuts against a top of the fan 10 .
- Eight screws 50 extend through the corresponding corner holes 300 and the corresponding corner holes 120 , to fix the fan 10 in the frame 30 .
- the extension portions 64 extend through the corresponding fixing holes 326 and the through holes 42 of the corresponding shockproof members 40 , to fix the shockproof members 40 to the bottom surface of the corresponding tabs 324 .
- the heads 62 abut against tops of the tabs 324 .
- the frame 30 together with the fan 10 is then inserted between the blocking pieces 28 .
- the extension portions 64 are then extended through the corresponding through holes 284 , until the shockproof members 40 abut against the corresponding second pieces 282 .
- the protrusion 342 is blocked under the projection 26 .
- the vents 302 and the fan 10 align with the vent 24
- the second portion 346 is deformed away from the board 20 to disengaging the protrusion 342 from the projection 26 .
- the frame 30 is then moved up to disengage the fasteners 60 from the blocking pieces 28 . Therefore, the fan 10 together with the frame 30 can be readily removed
- the protrusion 342 may extend from a side of the top of the blocking plate 341 away from the blocking portion 340 .
