[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown in one embodiment of this utility model, a quick-release computer fan generally includes a motor, bearings, blades, a power plug, wires, a first housing 1, and a second housing 2. The motor drives the blades to rotate, carrying heat away from the heat source, and the heat is then conducted into the air through heat sinks, thus achieving a cooling effect. When a computer requires multiple fans to work together for cooling, all fans are generally monitored and managed centrally through the motherboard or other control unit, thereby achieving better temperature control.

[0030] like Figures 1-4As shown, a connecting block 301 is installed on one side of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. A storage groove 302 for accommodating the connecting block 301 is opened on the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. A locking component for restricting the connecting block 301 from popping out is installed on the first housing 1. A connecting groove 303 for connecting the connecting block 301 is opened on the side of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 away from the connecting block 301.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, when the internal space of the computer is limited and only one fan needs to be installed, the user can manually retract the connecting block 301 into the storage slot 302. The locking component ensures that the connecting block 301 is stably stored in the storage slot 302, thereby minimizing the possibility that the connecting block 301 will obstruct the normal installation of the fan, interfere with the contact between the fan blades and the heat sink, and thus affect the heat dissipation effect and the overall stability of the system.

[0032] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the locking assembly includes a locking block 102, and a connecting block 301 has an opening slot 3012 that matches the locking block 102. A pop-out component that matches the locking assembly is installed on the first housing 1. When space is limited and the storage slot 302 needs to be retracted, the connecting block 301 is pushed towards one side of the storage slot 302 until the connecting block 301 is flush with the edge of the storage slot 302, and then the connecting block 301 is pushed to the left (e.g., ...). Figure 4 This causes the locking block 102 to restrict the outward movement of the connecting block 301, thus locking the connecting block 301. When multiple computer fans need to be installed, the pop-out component can quickly pop out the connecting block 301 to assemble multiple computer fans.

[0033] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the pop-up component includes a telescopic rod 401, a spring 402 sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 401, and a slider 403 mounted on one end of the telescopic rod 401 and the spring 402. A groove 3013 matching the slider 403 is formed on the connecting block 301. When the connecting block 301 retracts into the storage slot 302, the spring 402 shortens, storing elastic potential energy, and pushes the connecting block 301 to the right (e.g., ...). Figure 4 When the slot 3012 is aligned with the locking block 102, the elastic potential energy of the spring 402 is released, popping out the connecting block 301. Then, align the connecting slot 303 of the computer fan to be assembled with the popped-out connecting block 301, and slide it to the right to assemble (e.g., Figure 4 ).

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting block 301 has a groove 3015 that matches the pop-out assembly on the side away from the first housing 1. 3051 This allows the user to push the connecting block 301.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the bottom inlet size of the connecting slot 303 is larger than the size of the connecting block 301. This makes it easier for users to align the connecting block 301 when assembling multiple computer fans.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, a retaining ring 201 is installed on the side of the second housing 2 near the first housing 1, and a retaining groove 101 matching the retaining ring 201 is formed on the first housing 1. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are connected by the retaining groove 101 and the retaining ring 201, making the assembly work during the production of the computer fan simpler. The retaining groove 101 and the retaining ring 201 are interference fit, making the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 more secure.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, a shell-opening tip 3011 is installed on the side of the connecting block 301 near the engaging ring 201. A slit 2011 matching the shell-opening tip 3011 is provided at the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. Users need to clean the computer fan regularly to extend its lifespan. When cleaning the fan, the connecting block 301 in the storage slot 302 is continuously pushed towards the engaging ring 201. With the cooperation of the slit 2011, the shell-opening tip 3011 separates the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, thereby better exposing the inside of the fan and improving the cleaning effect to a certain extent.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, a rubber sheet 3014 matching the connecting groove 303 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting block 301. The computer fan vibrates during operation, and the rubber sheet 3014 can reduce the noise generated by this vibration to a certain extent.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, several protective particles 103 are installed on the exterior of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The protective particles 103 can minimize wear and tear during the connection process of the computer fan.

[0040] During use, when the internal space of the computer is limited and only one fan needs to be installed, the connecting block 301 is pushed into the storage slot 302. The locking component restricts the connecting block 301 within the storage slot 302, which to some extent prevents the protruding connecting block 301 from hindering the normal installation of the fan or interfering with the contact between the fan blades and the heat sink or heat sink base, thereby affecting the fan's heat dissipation effect and the overall stability of the system. It also effectively prevents dust and debris from accumulating in the gap between the connecting block and the connecting slot, thus affecting the lifespan of the cooling fan.

[0041] When the fan needs to be cleaned, the retracted connecting block 301 is pushed further into the storage slot 302, and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are separated by the shell-opening tip block 3011, opening up the inside of the fan as much as possible, so that the user can clean the inside of the fan.

[0042] When a user needs to assemble multiple computer fans, the connecting block 301 is slid in the storage slot 302. When the locking block 102 is aligned with the opening slot 3012, the elastic component pops out the connecting block 301, making it easy for the user to connect multiple computer fans.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
