  • Publication number: 20140119905
    Abstract: A fan structure includes a casing, a fan, and two elastic members. The casing has an accommodation space. The fan is located in the accommodation space. The fan has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. One of the two elastic members is sandwiched between the casing and the first side of the fan. The other one of the two elastic members is sandwiched between the casing and the second side of the fan. The two elastic members normally keep the fan away from the casing, so as to make the fan contact the casing through the two elastic members, thereby achieving a damping effect.

  • Publication number: 20110068240
    Abstract: An interface card fixing device for fixing an interface card in a case of a computer device is presented. The interface card fixing device includes a body and a pressing member. The body is fixed on the case, and has an accommodation slot, and a guiding slot crossing the accommodation slot. The interface card slides within the guiding slot to a combination position. A pivoting end of the pressing member is pivotally connected to the body, such that a pressing end of the pressing member relatively pivotally rotates to a pressing position, and is fixed in the accommodation slot. The pressing end and the pivoting end form an angle, so as to press against the interface card to maintain the interface card at the combination position.

  • Patent number: 7602611
    Abstract: A removable interface card expansion module slidably disposed in a case for the insertion of at least one interface card is provided. An opening is opened in the case, and a mainboard having at least one interface card slot corresponding to the interface card is disposed in the case. The removable interface card expansion module includes a removable frame, an expansion circuit board, and an interface adapter device. The removable frame slidably passes through the opening to be fixed in the case. The expansion circuit board is fixed in the removable frame, and includes at least one expansion slot for the insertion of the interface card. The interface adapter device is electrically connected to the expansion circuit board and the interface card slot of the mainboard, so as to electrically connect the interface card to the mainboard.

  • Patent number: 7539021
    Abstract: A retention device is applied in an electronic device that has a case and a circuit board. The circuit board may shifts along a integrate direction or a release direction. The retention device includes a fastener, a latching member, and a releasing member. The fastener is movably disposed on the case and has a stopping portion. The latching member is disposed on one side of the circuit board. The releasing member is movably disposed on the case and is located on one side of the fastener, and pushes the fastener to shift. The latching member shifts along the integrate direction with the circuit board, pushes the fastener to shift, and is blocked by the stopped portion. When the fastener is pushed by the releasing member to shift, the latching member is separated along the release direction, such that the circuit board is fixed on or detached from the case.

  • Patent number: 7535731
    Abstract: A retention device is applied in an electronic device that has a case and a circuit board. The circuit board may shift relative to the case along a integrate direction or a release direction. The retention device includes a fixed base, a fastener, and a latching member. The fixed base is disposed on the case and has a slot. The fastener is disposed on the case, and may be deformed under a force. The latching member is disposed on one side of the circuit board. When the latching member shifts along the integrate direction with the circuit board, the fastener is pressed to be deformed, so the latching member is limited in the slot. When the fastener is deformed by an external force, the latching member is disengaged with the slot along the release direction, so that the circuit board may be fixed on or detached from the case.

  • Patent number: 7457114
    Abstract: A heat dissipation air duct is provided. The air duct is fixed inside a computer case, and covers a plurality of high heat-generating elements on a mainboard. The air duct includes a main air duct and an auxiliary air duct. The main air duct isolates a first air duct area inside the computer case, and an air inlet is formed in a side of the air duct area. The auxiliary air duct is fixed on the bottom of the main air duct, and is accommodated in the first air duct area, so as to further isolate a second air duct area in communication with the air inlet it the first air duct area. One of the pluralities of high-generating elements is covered by the auxiliary air duct, and is accommodated in the second air duct area.

  • Patent number: 7430129
    Abstract: A positioning assembly is used for positioning a circuit board on a case. The circuit board shifts relative to a case along a integrate direction or a release direction. The positioning assembly includes a fixed member, a movable member, and a latching member. The latching member is disposed on a side surface of the circuit board, and the fixed member is disposed to the case, for the latching member to pass through in a single direction along a integrate direction, such that the latching member is stopped at one end of the fixed member, thereby positioning the circuit board case. The movable member makes the fixed member spread and deform, such that the latching member passes through the fixed member in an opposite direction along a release direction, so that the circuit board may fixed on or detached from the case.

The electronic device has a case and a circuit board, and the circuit board can shifts relative to the case along an integrate direction or a release direction. The retention device includes a first fastener, a latching member, and a second fastener. The first fastener is movably disposed on the case, and the latching member is mounted on one side of the circuit board. When the latching member shifts with the circuit board along the integrate direction to push the first fastener to shift, the latching member is limited by the stopping of the first fastener, and the first fastener shifts due to the pushing of the second fastener. The latching member is separated from the first fastener along the release direction, such that the circuit board is fixed on or detached from the case.
