Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a device for mounting fans, and a fan assembly using such a device.
  • a fan is often mounted in the electronic device by a plurality of screws, which makes it difficult and time-consuming to replace or remove the fan for repair.
  • FIG. 1 is a partially exploded, isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device, together with a plurality of fans.
  • FIG. 2 is a partially assembled view of the mounting device and the fans of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is an assembled, isometric view of the mounting device and the fans of FIG. 1 .
  • an exemplary embodiment of a mounting device for mounting a plurality of fans 50 includes a bottom wall 10 , a plurality of bases 20 , and a plurality of fasteners 30 .
  • Each fan 50 includes two spaced boards 52 .
  • Each board 52 defines two corner holes 54 in a lower portion.
  • the bottom wall 10 forms a plurality of pairs of rods 100 each having a tapered top end.
  • Each base 20 includes a rectangular plate 22 , two first protrusions 24 extending up from a front side of the plate 22 , two second protrusions 26 extending up from a rear side of the plate 22 , and two fixing pieces 28 extending out from the front and rear sides of the plate 26 .
  • Each first protrusion 24 defines a through hole 240 .
  • Each second protrusion 26 defines a threaded hole 262 .
  • Each fixing piece 28 defines a fixing hole 280 extending through a top surface and a bottom surface of the fixing piece 28 .
  • each fan 10 in assembling each fan 10 to a corresponding base 20 , the boards 52 are perpendicularly supported on the plate 22 .
  • the lower portion of one of the boards 52 abuts against inner surfaces of the first protrusions 24 , and the corner holes 54 are aligned with the corresponding through holes 240 .
  • the lower portion of the other board 52 abuts against inner surfaces of the second protrusions 26 , and the corner holes 54 are aligned with the corresponding threaded holes 262 .
  • Two fasteners 30 extend through the corresponding through holes 240 and the corresponding corner holes 54 , to engage in the corresponding threaded holes 262 . Therefore, the fan 10 is fixed on the base 20 .
  • the base 20 together with the fan 10 is then put on the bottom wall 10 .
  • the fixing holes 280 tightly fit about two corresponding rods 12 , to mount the base 20 together with the fan 50 to the bottom wall 10 .
