Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer fans, and in particular to a fan assembly with a sliding latch. Background Technology

[0002] Computer fans, also known as cooling fans, are generally used for heat dissipation. They are supplied to heat sinks and computer cases. With the development of modular fans, the current design trend is to achieve mutual cooperation between multiple fans through interlocking structures, which can meet the needs of DIY designers.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent 201822224111.7 uses a protruding structure to achieve mutual cooperation. However, in actual design, the wall surface is not flat, which can easily affect the aesthetics when a single fan is used. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a sliding snap-fit ​​fan assembly, which aims to improve the existing fan structure. When used alone, the fan surfaces are flush, and when they need to be combined, the snap-fit ​​mechanism can be used to achieve the stability of the fan assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a fan assembly with a sliding latch, comprising:

[0006] A fan housing, wherein the fan housing has four sides, and at least two sides are respectively provided with positioning grooves and positioning parts;

[0007] The fan housing is provided with a first electrical connection part and a second electrical connection part on the sides of the positioning groove and the positioning part, respectively.

[0008] The side of the fan housing is provided with a sliding groove, and the positioning part is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The positioning part can switch between a position extending out of the side wall and a position flush with the side wall.

[0009] When the fan housings are assembled together, the positioning part extends out of the side wall and engages with the positioning groove of the other fan housing.

[0010] In the actual design, a sliding positioning part is used. Therefore, when the fan housings need to be assembled together, the positioning part is moved outward and then inserted into the positioning groove, thereby achieving mutual fixation. The assembly is achieved through the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part.

[0011] When a single fan housing is used, the positioning part slides within the slot to become flush with the wall of the fan housing, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a fan assembly with a sliding latch includes:

[0027] The fan housing 1 has four sides 10, and at least two sides 10 are respectively provided with positioning grooves 3 and positioning parts 2;

[0028] The fan housing 1 is provided with a first electrical connection part 41 and a second electrical connection part 42 on the side 10 of the positioning groove 3 and the positioning part 2, respectively.

[0029] The side 10 of the fan housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove, and the positioning part 2 is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The positioning part 2 can switch between a position extending out of the side wall and a position flush with the side wall.

[0030] When the fan housings 1 are assembled together, the positioning part 2 extends out of the side wall and is engaged in the positioning groove 3 of the other fan housing 1.

[0031] In the actual design, the positioning part 2 is slidably set. Therefore, when the fan housing 1 needs to be combined with each other, the positioning part 2 is moved outward and then inserted into the positioning groove 3, thereby achieving mutual fixation. The first electrical connection part 41 and the second electrical connection part are used to achieve mutual assembly.

[0032] When a single fan housing 1 is used, the positioning part 2 is moved within the sliding groove to become flush with the wall of the fan housing 1, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0033] Specifically, the first electrical connection part is a gold finger, and the second electrical connection part is a flexible pin.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the elastic PIN pin is disposed on the base, the fan housing 1 is provided with a guide groove 11, and the base is slidably installed in the guide groove 11. In the actual structure, the PIN pin and the base are modularly designed, which facilitates installation. At the same time, the sliding structure that cooperates with the positioning part 2 can simplify the assembly structure and achieve stable contact between the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part.

[0035] Specifically, the PIN pin is disposed on the positioning part 2, and the gold finger is disposed in the positioning groove 3. In one embodiment, the electrical connection structure and the mating structure can be combined to improve the appearance.

[0036] The positioning part 2 is the base.

[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, the positioning groove 3 is a stepped groove. The horizontal direction of the stepped groove includes a large groove 31 and a small groove 32. The width direction of the stepped groove includes an inner groove 33 and an opening 34. The diameter of the inner groove is greater than the diameter of the opening, thereby realizing the insertion of the positioning part 2.

[0038] Specifically, the positioning part 2 includes a head 21 and a neck 22, wherein the outer diameter of the head 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the neck 22. This design is existing technology and can be configured according to different needs.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the cross-section of the head 21 is square.

[0040] Of course, it can also be round or rectangular. A square can be used as an embellishment for the fan housing 1 to enhance the aesthetics of the design.

[0041] Specifically, the neck 22 is fitted with a top spring 5, which is used to apply an elastic force to the head 21 to extend into the sliding groove. The other top spring 5 can also increase the engagement force between the positioning part 2 and the positioning groove 3.

[0042] In this embodiment of the utility model, the rear end of the neck 22 is provided with a button portion extending toward the upper wall of the housing. Therefore, when it is needed for actual use, pushing the button portion 6 will drive the positioning portion 2 to extend out of the side wall of the fan housing 1, thereby realizing the mutual locking between the positioning groove 3 and the positioning portion.

[0043] The positioning groove and positioning part are located on opposite sides 10.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
