  • Patent number: 11353055
    Abstract: A fixing structure, configured to fix screw. Screw includes wide portion and narrow portion. Fixing structure includes plate part, holding component and elastic positioning component. Plate part includes top surface, bottom surface and mount groove. Mount groove penetrates through top surface and bottom surface and narrow portion is disposed through mount groove to allow wide portion to rest on top surface. Holding component and top surface together form space. Elastic positioning component is disposed on plate part. When wide portion is located in space and between holding component and top surface, and elastic positioning component is in holding state and located at side of wide portion, wide portion is prevented from being moved away from space. When elastic positioning component is switched to released state, elastic positioning component is removed from side of wide portion so that wide portion is allowed to move away from space.

  • Patent number: 10802553
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a housing, and a fan connection member. The housing comprises a bottom plate having a motherboard mounting area. The fan connection member is disposed on the bottom plate, and an orthogonal projection of the fan connection member onto the bottom plate partially overlaps with the motherboard mounting area. The fan connection member includes a fan base and a fan seat pivoted on the fan base. The orthogonal projection of the fan connection member has a first overlap area on the motherboard mounting area at a working state of the fan connection member. The orthogonal projection of the fan connection member has a second overlap area on the motherboard mounting area at a maintenance state of the fan connecting member. The first overlap area is larger than the second overlap area.
