1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a mounting device for a fan.
2. Description of Related Art
The size of racks for fixing fans in a computer is standard. Thus, the racks can only hold standard size fans, therefore fans with a smaller then standard size cannot be fitted in the rack, which is inconvenient.
Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference 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 present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. 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 fan 10 includes two spaced rectangular-shaped boards 12.
The rack 50 is hollow and substantially rectangular-shaped, which is mounted on a bottom board 40 of the chassis. The rack 50 defines a receiving space 54 therein, with an opening 52 of the receiving space 54 opposite to the bottom board 40 of the chassis.
The frame 20 is substantially rectangular-shaped, and defines a receiving space 22 extending through opposite sides of the frame 20. A through hole 26 is defined in each corner of a bottom wall 24 bounding the receiving space 22. The size of the frame 20 is suitable to be received in the receiving space 54 of the rack 50.
Each screw 30 includes a head 32, and a post 34 extending from a center of the head 32. A thread portion 36 is formed on the post 34 adjacent to the head 32.
Referring to
The frame 20 together with the fan 10 enters the receiving space 54 of the rack 50 through the opening 52. A plurality of screws or other fixing members fix the frame 20 to the rack 50. When the right size fan 60 has been fitted to the rack 50, the frame 20 can be omitted.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and they will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the description or sacrificing all of their material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being exemplary embodiment.
Claims
1. A mounting device for a fan, the mounting device comprising:
- a frame for receiving the fan; and
- a rack for receiving the frame.
2. The mounting device of claim 1, wherein the frame defines a first receiving space extends through opposite sides of the frame for receiving the fan, and defines a plurality of through holes in a bottom wall bounding the first receiving space, a plurality of fasteners extend through the corresponding through holes to position the fan.
3. The mounting device of claim 2, wherein the fasteners are screws, each screw comprises a head and a post extending from the head, a thread portion is formed on the post adjacent to the head, the threaded portion is screwed in the corresponding through hole of the frame, a distal end of the screw opposite to the head extends into the receiving space to resist against the fan.
4. The mounting device of claim 1, wherein a second receiving space with an opening is defined in the rack, the frame enters the second receiving space of the rack through the opening.
