Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cover plates, and more specifically, to a structure for concealing fan screws. Background Technology
[0002] Early fan covers typically employed simple flat structures and were made from a limited range of materials, primarily ordinary metal or plastic plates. These covers primarily served a basic protective function, preventing foreign objects from entering the fan and damaging its rotating components. However, this simple design had several limitations. For example, ordinary metal covers were prone to rusting and corrosion due to environmental factors after prolonged use, reducing their protective performance and aesthetics; while plastic covers were cheaper and offered some insulation, their strength was relatively weak, making them susceptible to breakage under impact. Furthermore, traditional flat covers performed poorly in airflow guidance, failing to effectively optimize the airflow generated by the fan, thus hindering improvements in heat dissipation or ventilation efficiency.
[0003] Fan covers are usually secured with screws during disassembly. However, ordinary screws can easily lead to insufficient stability, and screws require specific screwdrivers, making the disassembly process rather troublesome.
[0004] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed a structure that hides the fan screws. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides a structure for concealing fan screws to solve the above problems.
[0006] The present invention specifically includes: an outer plate, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the lower surface of the outer plate, a protective plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer plate, the threaded rod being located inside the protective plate, and the outer plate and the protective plate being magnetically connected.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0008] A threaded rod fixed to the lower surface of the outer panel is used to secure the outer panel. A protective plate fixed to the outer surface of the outer panel seals the threaded rod. A cooling fan rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer panel is used for heat dissipation. Four screw mounting positions are provided below the top cover plate of the fan (not visible to the naked eye), corresponding to the pre-embedded studs or metal inserts of the fan body. The screws are fixed to the fan body through countersunk holes or blind holes in the top cover plate (the holes do not penetrate the front of the cover plate), ensuring that there are no exposed screw holes on the front. After the screws are fixed, the top cover plate is fastened to the fan body by elastic clips or a magnetic structure. The clips are distributed along the edges of the cover plate (such as on the left and right sides), and elastic deformation occurs when fastened, ensuring a firm installation and easy disassembly.

[0013] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0014] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a structure for concealing fan screws, which is used for quick fixing and connection of the cover plate.
[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0017] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a structure for concealing fan screws includes: an outer plate 801, a threaded rod 802 threadedly connected to the lower surface of the outer plate 801, a protective plate 803 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer plate 801, the threaded rod 802 being located inside the protective plate 803, and the outer plate 801 and the protective plate 803 being magnetically connected.
[0019] The threaded rod 802, fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer plate 801, is used to fix the outer plate 801. The protective plate 803, fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer plate 801, is used to seal the threaded rod 802. Four screw mounting positions are set below the top cover of the fan (not visible to the outside), corresponding to the pre-embedded studs or metal inserts of the fan body. The screws are fixed to the fan body through the countersunk holes or blind holes of the top cover (the holes do not penetrate the front of the cover), ensuring that there are no exposed screw holes on the front. After the screws are fixed, the top cover is fastened to the fan body by elastic buckles or magnetic structure. The buckles are distributed on the edge of the cover (e.g., two on each side), and elastic deformation occurs when fastened, ensuring a firm installation and easy disassembly. In some cases, after the protective plate 803 is removed, a fixing method with 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 screw holes can be designed, and the fixing method is threaded connection.
[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
