Problems solved by technology

If the size of the fan module is smaller than the height of the computer case, so that the upper cover cannot touch the fan module, this method cannot press the fan to be fixed in the frame
However, only relying on the interfering force of the connector plugging and unplugging, the fan may still be detached from its frame under severe vibration, which is a problem to be solved

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Please refer to figure 1 , which is a fan module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing frame is in an unlocked state and a fan is disassembled from the frame. The fan module 100 basically consists of a frame 102 and a plurality of fans 110 . The frame 102 has a plurality of receiving spaces 116 for installing the fans 110 therein. The accommodating space 116 has a connector 120 for electrically connecting with the connector 110 a of the fan 110 , so that the fan 110 can obtain power to operate. All the connectors 120 in the receiving space 116 are electrically connected to the connectors 102a or 102b outside the frame 102, and the connectors 102a or 102b are connected to a power supply or other external power sources.

[0024] After all the fans 110 are installed in the plurality of accommodation spaces 116 of the frame 102 respectively, as figure 2 status shown. The fan 110 obtains power through the connector 102 a or 102 b of th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fan module which comprises a frame, a plurality of fans, a fixing shelf and a locking shelf; the frame comprises a plurality of accommodation rooms and two pairs of shell walls; the fans are respectively positioned in the accommodation rooms; the fixing shelf is provided with a first intervention unit, and two ends of the fixing shelf are respectively pivoted to one of the two pairs of shell walls so that the fixing shelf can rotate relative to the frame while pressing against or departing from the fans; the locking shelf is provided with a second intervention unit and positioned on the other pair of shell walls; then when the first intervention unit and the second intervention unit are jointed, the fixing shelf presses against the fans. The invention also discloses a fan frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cooling device, and in particular to a fan module and its fan frame. Background technique [0002] A fan is an important heat dissipation device in a computer device. As the heat dissipation requirements of computer devices are getting higher and higher, there is a fan module composed of a plurality of fans. A fan module usually has a frame to accommodate multiple fans assembled therein. At present, each fan mostly utilizes the interfering force of plugging and unplugging the connector as the main engaging force installed on the frame. Some computer devices use the upper cover of the casing to press the fan and fix it in the frame. If the size of the fan module is smaller than the height of the computer casing, so that the upper cover cannot touch the fan module, this method cannot press the fan to be fixed in the frame. However, only relying on the interfering force of connector plugging and unplugging, the fan m...
