Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a mounting apparatus for fans that is designed to be easily and conveniently mounted and removed. The mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket and two latches that secure the fan module to the mounting bracket. The latches have tabs that engage with the mounting bracket and can be easily detached. The technical effect of this invention is that it simplifies the process of mounting and removing fans, making it faster and more convenient for users.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the fans are to be secured to or removed from the enclosure, locking or unlocking screws one by one is inconvenient, tedious, and time-consuming.

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for a fan defining an engaging hole includes an enclosure, a mounting bracket mounted to the enclosure, and a latch mounted to the enclosure. The mounting bracket defines a through hole, and includes a locking tab. The fan is accommodated in the mounting bracket, with the engaging hole of the fan aligned with the through hole. The locking extends through the through hole to engage in the engaging hole, thereby mounting the fan to the mounting bracket.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The disclosure relates to mounting apparatuses, and particularly to a mounting apparatus configured for readily mounting fans.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]In a typical computer system, a plurality of fans are secured by screws or the like to an enclosure of the computer system and are used for producing a flow of cooling air over certain electronic components within the enclosure, for dissipating heat generated by the electronic components. However, when the fans are to be secured to or removed from the enclosure, locking or unlocking screws one by one is inconvenient, tedious, and time-consuming.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0005]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...
