Assembly Structure for a Fan Case
An assembly structure for a fan case comprising a first fan case, a second fan case and a fixing rod, the first fan case comprises a first frame, at least one first cavity surrounded by the first frame and a first axial hole recessed into the first frame, the first cavity comprises a first opening and a second opening corresponded to the first opening. The second fan case comprises a second frame, at least one second cavity surrounded by the second frame and a second axial hole recessed into the second frame, the second cavity comprises a third opening and a fourth opening corresponded to the third opening. The fixing rod is penetrated through the first axial hole of the first fan case and the second axial hole of the second fan case, and the fixing rod has an exposed-end portion which is protruded from the first fan case.
The present invention is generally relating to a fan case, more particularly to an assembly structure having a fixing rod for a fan case, the fan case is rotatable by applying the fixing rod as a rotation axis thereby changing air inlet/outlet directions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONReferring to
A primary object of the present invention is to provide an assembly structure for a fan case comprising a first fan case, a second fan case and a fixing rod, wherein the first fan case comprises a first frame, at least one first cavity surrounded by the first frame and a first axial hole recessed into the first frame, the first frame has a first inner surface, a first outer surface corresponded to the first inner surface and at least one first lateral tuyere penetrated through the first inner surface and the first outer surface, the first cavity comprises a first opening and a second opening corresponded to the first opening, and the first lateral tuyere is in communication with the first cavity. The second fan case comprises a second frame, at least one second cavity surrounded by the second frame and a second axial hole recessed into the second frame, the second frame has a second inner surface, a second outer surface corresponded to the second inner surface and at least one second lateral tuyere penetrated through the second inner surface and the second outer surface, the second cavity comprises a third opening and a fourth opening corresponded to the third opening, and the second lateral tuyere is in communication with the second cavity. The fixing rod is penetrated through the first axial hole of the first fan case and the second axial hole of the second fan case to enable the first fan case and the second fan case to be rotatable by using the fixing rod as a rotation axis, and the fixing rod has at least one exposed-end portion which is at least protruded from the first fan case. When the assembly structure for a fan case is disposed at the apparatus, the first fan case and the second fan case are able to rotate and air inlet/outlet directions of the first fan case and the second fan case can be changed by the fixing rod as a rotation axis according to different heat-dissipation environments. Besides, the fixing rod is penetrated through the first axial hole of the first fan case and the second axial hole of the second fan case, so that the disposing angle of the first fan case and the second fan case can be adjusted to situate at the heat source of the apparatus thereby achieving the best heat-dissipated efficiency.
