AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent relates to an apparatus for mounting fans in servers. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a mounting apparatus that prevents airflow of other fans from backflowing through broken fans, which can cause issues in the server. The mounting apparatus includes a rack, fixing members, a first plate, and a second plate that align with fixing holes on the fan to securely attach the fan to the server. The mounting apparatus ensures proper airflow and prevents damage to the server caused by overheating.

Problems solved by technology

When some fans are broken down, airflow of the other fans may backflow through the broken fans, which is undesirable.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]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.

[0012]FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a mounting apparatus for fixing a fan 20. The mounting apparatus includes a rack 10, two fixing members 30, a first plate 40, and a second plate 50.

[0013]The fan 20 includes a rectangular end board 21 defining four fixing holes 213 in four corners.

[0014]The rack 10 includes a bottom board 12 and a fixing board 14 perpendicularly extending up from a rear side of the bottom board 12. The fixing board 14 defines a vent 141, two first through holes 143 at opposite ends of a top side of the vent 141, two second through holes 145 at opposite ends of a bottom side of the vent 141, and two latching holes 147 above the corresponding first through holes 143.

Abstract

A mounting apparatus includes a fixing board defining a vent, two fixing members, and first and second plates. Two through holes are defined in an upper portion of the fixing board at opposite sides of the vent. Upper portions of the fixing members extend through the through holes and engage in upper portions of a fan. Opposite ends of a top of the first plate are pivotably connected to upper portions of the fixing members, and opposite ends of a top of the second plate are pivotably connected to lower portions of the fixing members. The first and second plates are maintained to be parallel to the fixing board by gravitational force, to cover the vent. When the fan blows air towards the first and second plates, the first and second plates are capable of rotating away from the fan to be angled from the fixing board.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for mounting fans.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Fans are mounted in servers to dissipate heat generated by electronic elements of the servers. When some fans are broken down, airflow of the other fans may backflow through the broken fans, which is undesirable.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, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.[0006]FIG. 1 is an assembled, isometric view of a first embodiment of a mounting apparatus for fixing a plurality of fans.[0007]FIG. 2 is a partially exploded view of FIG. 1.[0008]...
