However, in actual use, due to the large demand for heat dissipation of products, the number of fans needs to increase. The traditional connection method is mostly to connect the fan and the chassis through connecting wires. However, once the number of fans increases, the number of wires will also increase, and too many wires will take up a large part of the chassis space, thereby reducing the effective utilization space inside the chassis, and also making the wires in the chassis messy, so this needs to be improved.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the utility model provides an 8056 dual-fan module quick-release hot-swappable structure, comprising a front cover 1, a rear cover 2 being movably mounted on the front end of the front cover 1, rivets 3 being fixedly sleeved on the top of the left and right front ends of the rear cover 2, the rivets 3 passing through the rear cover 2 and extending to the outside of the rear cover 2 and being movably sleeved on a handle 4, the outer surface of the handle 4 being movably sleeved on the inner surface of the top of the left and right ends of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2, buckle grooves 5 being respectively provided on the left and right sides of the front end of the handle 4, the interior of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 being movably sleeved on a dual-fan module body 6, and the left and right sides of the bottom end of the rear cover 2 being fixedly sleeved on a connector fixing block 7.

[0025] The card slot inside the connector fixing block 7 is used to place the fan connector of the dual-fan module body 6. After the fan connector of the dual-fan module body 6 is installed in the card slot inside the connector fixing block 7, the left and right sides of the bottom of the outer surface of the dual-fan module body 6 will be electrically connected to the fan connectors in the two card slots of the connector fixing block 7 respectively. At the same time, the fan connector in the card slot of the connector fixing block 7 can be directly inserted into the 8056 fan control board inside the chassis, thereby realizing power-on control of the dual-fan module body 6. The existence of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 can provide the dual-fan module body 6 with a fan-controlled circuit. It provides fixed support and protection. The presence of rivets 3 and handles 4 makes it easy to take and disassemble the module as a whole. At the same time, the presence of the buckle slot 5 allows the 8056 dual-fan module to be clamped as a whole through the opening at the top rear side of the fan frame in the chassis in conjunction with the buckle slot 5 after the module is installed as a whole into the chassis. When the operator pulls the handle 4 for disassembly, the module body can be lifted up through the force-saving lever between the buckle slot 5 and the opening at the top rear side of the fan frame, thereby realizing the hot-swap function and assisted quick-disassembly function of the 8056 dual-fan module, thereby avoiding the disorder of the wires inside the chassis caused by too many wires.

[0026] A card slot 8 is provided on the front side of the outer surface of the rear cover 2 , and a card block 9 is fixedly mounted on the rear end of the front cover 1 . The outer surface of the card block 9 and the inner surface of the card slot 8 are movably connected.

[0027] The presence of the card slot 8 and the card block 9 will facilitate the installation and connection of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 .

[0028] Among them, front circular holes 10 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the front end of the front cover 1, and the front anti-vibration pad 11 is movably sleeved inside the front circular hole 10. The outer surface of the front anti-vibration pad 11 is movably sleeved with the inner surfaces of the left and right sides of the front end of the dual-fan module body 6.

[0029] The presence of the front circular hole 10 and the front anti-vibration pad 11 facilitates the connection between the front cover 1 and the dual-fan module body 6 .

[0030] Among them, the left and right sides of the rear end of the rear cover 2 are respectively provided with rear circular holes 12, and the rear anti-vibration pad 13 is movably sleeved inside the rear circular hole 12. The outer surface of the rear anti-vibration pad 13 is movably sleeved with the inner surfaces of the left and right sides of the rear end of the dual-fan module body 6.

[0031] The presence of the rear circular hole 12 and the rear anti-vibration pad 13 will play a role in assisting positioning and reducing vibration.

[0032] The front cover 1 has front vents 14 formed on the upper and lower sides of the front middle portion, and the rear cover 2 has rear vents 15 formed on the upper and lower sides of the rear middle portion.

[0033] Due to the presence of the front vents 14 and the rear vents 15 , ventilation is facilitated.

[0034] The front vents 14 and the rear vents 15 have the same shape and size, and are aligned front to back.

[0035] The design of the front vents 14 and the rear vents 15 having the same shape and size can improve the convenience during the manufacture of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 .

[0036] The front end of the clamping block 9 is in the shape of a triangle and has the same size as the clamping slot 8 .

[0037] The triangular design of the front end of the clamping block 9 facilitates the mutual engagement of the clamping block 9 and the clamping slot 8 .

[0038] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0039] First, the operator places the rear anti-vibration pad 13 into the rear circular hole 12, then aligns the rear end of the dual-fan module body 6 with the rear anti-vibration pad 13 and places it into the rear cover 2 and makes the fan connectors of the dual-fan module body 6 respectively snap into the card slots of the connector fixing block 7, then places the front anti-vibration pad 11 into the front circular hole 10, and then embeds the card block 9 into the card slot 8. At this time, the front anti-vibration pad 11 will be embedded in the interior of the front end of the dual-fan module body 6, thereby completing the connection and assembly of the front cover 1, the rear cover 2 and the dual-fan module body 6. Then the operator places the entire 8056 dual-fan module into the fan frame inside the chassis. At this time, the fan connector located in the card slot of the connector fixing block 7 will be inserted Insert the 8056 fan control board at the bottom of the fan frame, and the buckle slot 5 will be stuck in the opening at the top rear side of the fan frame. Finally, close the upper cover of the chassis to complete the assembly. When disassembling, the operator opens the upper cover of the chassis and pulls the handle 4. At this time, the lever between the buckle slot 5 and the top rear side opening of the fan frame will provide assistance for lifting the entire module, making the disassembly of the entire module more labor-saving. With the mutual cooperation of various mechanisms, the hot-swappable and assisted quick-release functions of the 8056 dual-fan module are realized, thereby reducing the use of wires, saving the internal space of the chassis, and avoiding the disorder of wires caused by too much wires occupying a large amount of internal space of the chassis.
