Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a device for mounting fans.
- fans may be mounted to a rack by a plurality of screws, and then is mounted in an electronic device together with the rack, which adds to the cost of the rack.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device, together with a plurality of fans, wherein the mounting device includes two blocks.
- FIG. 2 is inverted view showing the blocks mounted to one of the fans.
- FIG. 3 is an assembled, isometric view of the mounting device and the fans of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device for fixing a plurality of fans 10 .
- the mounting device includes a base board 20 and a plurality of blocks 30 .
- Each fan 10 includes a hollow and substantially rectangular main body 11 and two spaced boards 12 connected to opposite ends of the main body 11 .
- the main body 11 defines a depressed portion 110 in each of two lower sides.
- Each board 12 defines two corner holes 120 in a lower portion of the board 12 .
- the base board 20 forms a plurality of rods 22 .
- Each rod 22 has a tapered distal end.
- Each block 30 has a substantially triangular cross-section, and includes a bottom wall 32 , a sidewall 34 substantially perpendicularly extending up from a first side of the bottom wall 32 , two end walls 38 substantially perpendicularly extending up from opposite ends of the bottom wall 32 , a concave surface 36 connected between a top side of the sidewall 34 and a second side of the bottom wall 32 opposite to the first side.
- the concave surface 36 is also connected to the end walls 38 .
- a protrusion 380 extends out from each of the end walls 38 .
- a guiding surface 382 slantingly extends from a top of each protrusion 380 toward a distal end of the protrusion 380 .
- a fixing hole 300 is defined in the block 30 and extends through the bottom wall 32 and an upper portion of the concave surface 36 .
- Two slots 302 are defined in the block 30 , at opposite sides of the fixing hole 300 , each slot 302 extends through the bottom wall 32 , the sidewall 34 , and a lower portion of the concave surface 36 . Therefore, the block 30 has two deformable cantilevers 304 divided by the slots 302 and formed at opposite ends of the block 30 .
- each fan 10 in mounting each fan 10 to the base board 20 , two blocks 30 are aligned with and moved toward the corresponding depressed portions 110 of the fan 10 .
- the guiding surfaces 382 abut against bottoms of the corresponding boards 12 to deform the cantilevers 304 toward each other.
- the distal end surfaces of the protrusions 380 slidably abut against inner surfaces of the corresponding boards 12 , until the protrusions 380 align with the corresponding corner holes 120 .
- the cantilevers 304 are restored to push the protrusions 380 to engage in the corresponding corner holes 120 . Therefore, the blocks 30 are received in the corresponding depressed portions 110 , and are sandwiched between the boards 12 .
- the concave surfaces 36 are contacted with the bottom walls of the corresponding depressed portions 112 .
- the fixing holes 300 firmly fit about the corresponding rods 22 , thereby fixing the fan 10 to the base board 20 .
- the fan 10 In uninstalling one of the fans 10 , the fan 10 is moved away from the base board 20 to disengage the rods 22 from the corresponding fixing holes 300 .
- the cantilevers 304 of each block 30 are deformed toward each other, to disengage the protrusions 380 from the corresponding corner holes 120 . Therefore, the block 30 can be easily removed from the fan 10 .
