  • Publication number: 20240164051
    Abstract: A fan module is adapted to be disposed on a mainboard. The fan module includes a base, a stator unit, a circuit board, a first restriction structure and a second restriction structure. The base includes a mounting shaft and a base opening, wherein the mounting shaft has an axis. The mounting shaft is telescoped in the stator unit. The circuit board is coupled to the stator unit, wherein the circuit board includes a circuit board connection port. The first restriction structure restricts the circuit board, wherein the first restriction structure is arranged on the first straight line, and the first restriction structure is disposed a first distance away from the axis. The second restriction structure restricts the circuit board, wherein the second restriction structure is arranged on the second straight line, the second restriction structure is disposed a second distance away from the axis.

  • Patent number: 9137913
    Abstract: A portable electronic device adapted to be detachably connected to a cradle having a containing cavity is provided, wherein an inner wall of the containing cavity has a recess. The portable electronic device includes a body and a locking-and-releasing mechanism disposed in the body and including a driving unit and a latch. The driving unit is disposed in the body. The latch is connected to the driving unit and suitable for being driven by the driving unit to protrude out of the body or hide in the body. When the portable electronic device is disposed in the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to protrude out of the body and be engaged with the recess. When the portable electronic device is going to be detached from the containing cavity, the driving unit drives the latch to be disengaged from the recess and move back in the body.
