[0002] During the operation of electronic equipment, various hardware devices inside will generate a lot of heat. Usually, fans are used to dissipate heat inside the electronic equipment. The fans are usually fixed inside the electronic equipment with brackets, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the existing electronic device 300 is a server, wherein the bracket 303 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the shell 305 of the electronic device 300 and is opposite to the side wall of the shell 305. The fan 301 enters between the bracket 303 and the side wall of the shell 305 from the top of the shell 305, and is then installed on the bracket 303 using fasteners 307 such as rivets or screws to lock and fix the fan 301. The space between the bracket 303 and the side wall is fixed. Once the size of the fan 301 is slightly different, it will cause difficulty in installing the fan 301. In addition, the bracket 303 is set on the bottom wall, occupying the layout space of the bottom wall, which may cause interference between the bracket 303 and other structural parts in the server (such as the circuit board 309).

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present application provide a fan fixing assembly. The fan fixing assembly includes a support member, a locking member, and a clamping member. The support member includes a first support portion and a second support portion provided on one side of the first support portion, and the second support portion is provided with a slide groove. The locking member includes a locking portion and a connecting portion provided on one side of the locking portion, and the connecting portion is provided with a protrusion and a clamping hole. The protrusion is slidably provided in the slide groove so that the locking member can slide and rotate relative to the support member. The clamping member is provided on the second support portion and can extend into the clamping hole so that the first support portion and the locking portion contact and fix the opposite sides of the fan.

[0035] The above-mentioned fan fixing assembly adopts a locking piece to slide relative to the support piece, so that the distance between the locking part and the first support part can be greater than the outer dimensions of the fan, the locking piece is out of contact with the fan, and the locking piece is rotated at a certain angle relative to the support piece, so that the fan can easily enter the installation space from the side of the locking part away from the first support part, making the fan easy to install on the fan fixing assembly.

[0036] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0037] Please also see Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device 200. The electronic device 200 is a chassis of a server, but is not limited thereto. The electronic device 200 includes a housing 201, a fan 203 and a fan fixing assembly 100. The fan fixing assembly 100 fixes the fan 203 in the housing 201. The fan fixing assembly 100 includes a support member 10, a locking member 20 and a clamping member 30. The support member 10 includes a first support portion 11 and a second support portion 12. The second support portion 12 is arranged on one side of the first support portion 11. The second support portion 12 is provided with a slide groove 121. The locking member 20 includes a locking portion 21 and a connecting portion 23. The connecting portion 23 is arranged on one side of the locking portion 21. The connecting portion 23 is provided with a protrusion 231 and a clamping hole 233. The protrusion 231 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 121, so that the locking member 20 can slide and rotate relative to the support member 10. The holding member 30 is disposed on the second supporting portion 12 and can extend into the holding hole 233 , so that the first supporting portion 11 and the locking portion 21 contact and fix two opposite sides of the fan 203 .

[0038] When installing fan 203, the retaining member 30 is positioned outside the retaining hole 233, and the protrusion 231 slides within the guide slot 121 along the first support portion 11 toward the locking portion 21, causing the locking member 20 to move relative to the support member 10. The protrusion 231 continues to slide within the guide slot 121, causing the locking member 20 to rotate a predetermined angle relative to the support member 10, allowing the fan 203 to enter the installation space from the side of the locking portion 21 facing away from the first support portion 11. The protrusion 231 slides along the guide slot 121, causing the locking member 20 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the support member 10 until the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 are located on opposite sides of the fan 203. The protrusion 231 continues to slide along the slide groove 121, causing the locking portion 21 to move toward the first support portion 11 until the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 contact the fan 203, and the retaining member 30 enters the retaining hole 233. The locking member 20 and the support member 10 are relatively fixed, thereby fixing the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 on opposite sides of the fan 203.

[0039] When removing the fan 203, the retaining member 30 is removed from the retaining hole 233, and the protrusion 231 slides along the guide slot 121, causing the locking portion 21 to move away from the first support portion 11. The locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 are separated from the fan 203. The protrusion 231 continues to slide within the guide slot 121 along the first support portion 11 toward the locking portion 21, causing the locking member 20 to rotate a predetermined angle relative to the support member 10, allowing the fan 203 in the installation space to be removed from the side of the locking portion 21 facing away from the first support portion 11.

[0040] The fan fixing assembly 100 uses a locking piece 20 to slide relative to the support member 10, so that the distance between the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 can be greater than the outer dimensions of the fan 203. The locking piece 20 is out of contact with the fan 203, and the locking piece 20 is rotated a certain angle relative to the support member 10, so that the fan 203 can easily enter the installation space from the side of the locking portion 21 away from the first support portion 11, making it easy for the fan 203 to be installed on the fan fixing assembly 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the locking member 20 rotates relative to the supporting member 10 , and the locking portion 21 rotates to one side of the second supporting portion 12 , without occupying the space on the other side of the second supporting portion 12 , thereby facilitating the layout inside the housing 201 of the electronic device 200 .

[0042] The electronic equipment 200 includes but is not limited to servers, communication equipment, audio equipment, medical equipment, etc.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are parts of the housing 201. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 may also be structures respectively provided on the housing 201.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the support member 10 further includes a first fixing portion 13. The first fixing portion 13 is disposed on the first support portion 11. The locking member 20 further includes a second fixing portion 25. Specifically, the second fixing portion 25 is disposed on the locking portion 21. The first fixing portion 13 and the second fixing portion 25 are respectively insertable into the mounting holes 2031 on opposite sides of the fan 203, so that the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 clamp and secure the fan 203.

[0045] It is understandable that in other possible implementations, the locking portion 21 and the first support portion 11 may be respectively abutted against the side surfaces of the fan 203 on opposite sides, so that the support member 10 and the locking member 20 can stably clamp and fix the fan 203 .

[0046] In one embodiment, there are two connecting portions 23 and two second supporting portions 12. The two connecting portions 23 are disposed on opposite sides of the locking portion 21. The two second supporting portions 12 are disposed on opposite sides of the first supporting portion 11. The protrusion 231 on each connecting portion 23 slides along the groove 121 on the second supporting portion 12, allowing the locking member 20 to slide and rotate stably relative to the support member 10.

[0047] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the connecting portion 23 and the number of the second supporting portion 12 can also be one.

[0048] The slide groove 121 includes a first groove portion 1211 and a second groove portion 1213 that are connected. The first groove portion 1211 is closer to the first support portion 11 than the second groove portion 1213. The first groove portion 1211 extends along the first support portion 11 toward the locking portion 21. The protrusion 231 slides along the first groove portion 1211, causing the locking portion 21 to move relative to the first support portion 11. The second groove portion 1213 extends along a curve. The protrusion 231 slides along the second groove portion 1213, causing the locking portion 21 to rotate relative to the first support portion 11.

[0049] The support member 10 also includes a rotating shaft 14. The rotating shaft 14 is arranged on the second support portion 12. The second groove portion 1213 extends along a circular arc, but is not limited thereto. The center of the circular arc is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 14. A through hole 235 is provided on the connecting portion 23, and the rotating shaft 14 can extend into the through hole 235. When the protrusion 231 enters the second groove portion 1213 from the first groove portion 1211, the rotating shaft 14 and the through hole 235 are coaxial, and the locking member 20 rotates around the rotating shaft 14. The path of movement and rotation of the locking member 20 relative to the support member 10 is fixed, which makes the operation of the locking member 20 simple, facilitates the installation of the fan 203, and prevents the locking member 20 from moving along an uncertain path and colliding with other structures in the electronic device 200.

[0050] In one embodiment, the shaft 14 is slidably disposed within the through-hole 235, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The sliding direction of the shaft 14 within the through-hole 235 is opposite to the sliding direction of the protrusion 231 within the first groove 1211. When the protrusion 231 enters the second groove 1213 from the first groove 1211, the shaft 14 is positioned at one end of the through-hole 235. This allows the locking member 20 to rotate about the shaft 14 as the protrusion 231 slides within the second groove 1213.

[0051] It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the rotating shaft 14 may also be a telescopic shaft structure (not shown) disposed on the second support portion 12. A hole structure (not shown) is provided on the connecting portion 23. When the protrusion 231 enters the second groove 1213 from the first groove 1211, the rotating shaft 14 extends and enters the hole structure. When the protrusion 231 slides within the first groove 1211, the rotating shaft 14 is pressed back by the connecting portion 23 and retracts to exit the hole structure.

[0052] In one embodiment, a stopper 141 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 14. The stopper 141 is located on the side of the connecting portion 23 facing away from the second support portion 12, ensuring a stable connection between the support member 10 and the locking member 20. The locking member 20 can move relative to the support member 10 but will not detach from the support member 10. Specifically, the end of the rotating shaft 14 facing away from the stopper 141 is threaded and threadedly connected to a fastener 15. The fastener 15 is located on the side of the second support portion 12 facing away from the connecting portion 23. The fastener 15 and the stopper 141 are stopped by the second support portion 12 and the connecting portion 23, respectively, securing the rotating shaft 14 relative to the second support portion 12.

[0053] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 14 may be directly threadedly connected to the second supporting portion 12 , and the fastener 15 may be omitted.

[0054] It is understandable that in other possible embodiments, the stop portion 141 can also be omitted, relying on the spacing between the adjacent connecting portion 23 and the second support portion 12 being less than the set value, and the protrusion 231 being located in the slide groove 121, so that the locking member 20 and the support member 10 will not be separated.

[0055] In one embodiment, the retaining member 30 includes a main body 31 and a retaining shaft 33. The main body 31 is disposed on the second support portion 12. The retaining shaft 33 is retractably disposed on the main body 31, allowing the retaining shaft 33 to extend into or retract out of the retaining hole 233. When the retaining shaft 33 extends into the retaining hole 233, the locking member 20 is secured relative to the support member 10, thereby allowing the fan retaining assembly 100 to secure the fan 203. When the retaining shaft 33 is released from the retaining hole 233, the locking member 20 can move relative to the support member 10, thereby releasing the fan retaining assembly 100 from securing the fan 203.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the locking member 20 rotates relative to the support member 10 to a predetermined position, the latch shaft 33 extends and abuts against the locking member 20, maintaining the locking member 20 in the predetermined position. This predetermined position is the position of the locking member 20 when the protrusion 231 slides to the end of the second groove 1213 facing away from the first groove 1211, but is not limited thereto. For example, in other possible embodiments, the latch shaft 33 may extend and abut against the locking member 20 when the protrusion 231 slides to the middle of the second groove 1213.

[0057] In one embodiment, the latch shaft 33 extends and abuts against the side of the locking member 20 facing the bottom wall of the housing, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other possible embodiments, the locking member 20 may be provided with another latch hole 233. When the locking member 20 is rotated relative to the support member 10 to the set position, the latch shaft 33 extends and enters the other latch hole 233, thereby maintaining the position of the locking member 20 relative to the support member 10.

[0058] When installing the fan 203, the locking portion 21 is pulled to move in the direction away from the first supporting portion 11, and the locking shaft 33 of the clamping member 30 is pressed and retracted by the connecting portion 23 and disengaged from the locking hole 233; the protruding portion 231 moves along the first groove portion 1211 toward the second groove portion 1213, and the rotating shaft 14 moves along the through hole 235 toward the first supporting portion 11 until one end of the through hole 235, and the protruding portion 231 enters the second groove portion 1213; the protruding portion 231 slides along the second groove portion 1213, and the locking member 20 rotates around the rotating shaft 14 until the protruding portion 231 slides to the end of the second groove portion 1213 away from the first groove portion 1211, the locking shaft 33 extends out and abuts against the side of the connecting portion 23 facing the bottom wall of the housing, and the position of the locking member 20 relative to the supporting member 10 remains unchanged, and the fan 203 enters the installation space from the side of the locking portion 21 away from the first supporting portion 11, and the first fixing portion 13 The locking member 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 2031 on one side of the fan 203; the locking portion 21 is pressed downward to rotate the locking member 20 relative to the support member 10, and the clamping shaft 33 is supported and retracted by the connecting portion 23; the protruding portion 231 slides along the second groove portion 1213 toward the first groove portion 1211, and the locking member 20 rotates relative to the support member 10 until the protruding portion 231 enters the first groove portion 1211, and the locking member 21 and the first support portion 11 are located on opposite sides of the fan 203; the protruding portion 231 moves along the first groove portion 1211 toward the first support portion 11, and the rotating shaft 14 moves along the through hole 235 toward the locking portion 21 until the protruding portion 231 moves to the end of the first groove portion 1211 away from the second groove portion 1213, the clamping shaft 33 extends out and enters the clamping hole 233, and the second fixing portion 25 enters the mounting hole 2031 on the other side of the fan 203, so that the support member 10 and the locking member 20 fix the fan 203.

[0059] The above-mentioned fan fixing assembly 100 uses a locking piece 20 to slide relative to the support piece 10, so that the distance between the locking part 21 and the first support part 11 can be greater than the outer dimensions of the fan 203, the locking piece 20 is out of contact with the fan 203, and the locking piece 20 is rotated at a certain angle relative to the support piece 10, so that the fan 203 can easily enter the installation space from the side of the locking part 21 away from the first support part 11, making it easy for the fan 203 to be installed on the fan fixing assembly 100.

[0060] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and essence of the technical solutions of the present application.
