[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a dual positioning building block fan comprises:

[0028] A housing 1, wherein the housing 1 is rectangular and has four side surfaces;

[0029] A buckle structure, wherein the buckle structure is disposed on side walls of at least two side surfaces, wherein the side surfaces include a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12, and the first side surface 11 and the second side surface 12 are disposed opposite to or adjacent to each other;

[0032] The clamping portion 21 is gradually expanded from the shell 1 outward to form an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and the locking groove 22 is an isosceles trapezoidal groove; the clamping portion set with inclined surfaces can make the clamping effect better, that is, the inclined surfaces offset each other, reducing the clamping gap and avoiding vibration generated by the fan when in use.

[0033] The electrical connection portion includes a male terminal disposed on the first side surface 11 and a female terminal disposed on the second side surface 12 .

[0034] In the actual design, the engaging parts 21 are arranged at intervals, so that the force on the fulcrum is more evenly distributed and the engaging process is smoother. At the same time, two groups of engaging parts 21 are provided, so that the installation of the engaging points is simpler, and the two second engaging parts 21 are arranged at intervals so that they are independent of each other when engaged. Therefore, during mold production, the shell 1 includes an upper shell and a lower shell, avoiding the alignment problem caused by defects in production, that is, the two engaging parts 21 do not need to fit each other, so the yield rate is higher, and the production cost is effectively reduced.
