MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR HEAT DISSIPATING MEMBER
A mounting apparatus includes a chassis, a first securing plate, a second securing plate, and a locking member. The first securing plate is secured to the chassis and defines a through hole. The second securing plate is secured to the chassis and defines a slot. The locking member is located between the first and second securing plates, configured for securing a heat dissipating member. The operating piece is located on the locking member and resiliently deformable. A protrusion is located on the operating piece engaged in the through hole of first securing plate. A positioning tab is located on the locking member engaged in the slot of the second securing plate.

1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a mounting apparatus for securing a heat dissipating member to a chassis.
2. Description of Related Art
In a server, a plurality of fans is often used. So, a mounting apparatus for conveniently securing the fans is needed.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
Referring to
The chassis 20 includes a bottom plate 22 and two opposite side plates 24 located on the bottom plate 22. A first securing plate 30 and a second securing plate 40 are secured to the bottom plate 22 between the side plates 24. A first ventilation hole 32 is defined in the first securing plate 30. Two first through openings 35 are defined in the first securing plate 30 above the first ventilation hole 32. A first securing piece 34 is located on a vertical edge of each first through opening 35. Referring to
The locking member 50 includes a top wall 52, a first sidewall 54, a second sidewall 56, and two third sidewalls 59 (only one is shown in
Referring to
In disassembly, the operating piece 542 is resiliently deformed towards the second sidewall 56, to disengage the protrusion 544 from the through hole 36 of the first securing plate 30. The locking member 50 and the heat dissipating member 10 are pulled from between the first and second securing plates 30 and 40.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
