Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation equipment, specifically a snap-on mounting bracket for a computer cooling fan. Background Technology
[0002] Desktop computers are tools we use frequently in our daily lives or work. One of the more important components of a computer, the CPU, needs to be cooled during use to ensure its performance and make the computer user experience better. Therefore, cooling is necessary, and a cooling fan is installed on the CPU for cooling. Thus, a clip-on mounting bracket for computer cooling fans is needed.
[0003] Existing computer cooling fan clip-on mounting brackets consist of two parts: a bracket frame that is bolted to the computer motherboard, and elastic clips located on both sides of the cooling fan at the bottom. During installation, the two clips are secured to the bracket frame to complete the installation of the computer cooling fan. However, this common type of computer cooling fan clip-on mounting bracket still has shortcomings:
[0004] Traditional clips require you to first clip one side, then press the cooling fan firmly until the other end can be clipped on. During this process, the cooling fins on the fan are prone to deformation when pressed, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a snap-on mounting bracket for a computer cooling fan, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when installing a traditional snap-on device, one side needs to be snapped on first, and then the cooling fan needs to be pressed down until the other end can be snapped on. During this process, the cooling fins on the cooling fan are prone to deformation when pressed, resulting in poor heat dissipation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a snap-on mounting bracket for a computer cooling fan, comprising a bracket frame, mounting grooves on both sides of the surface of the bracket frame, a heat dissipation component disposed between two mounting grooves, support blocks on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket frame, and four support blocks evenly arranged, limiting grooves at both ends of both sides of the bracket frame, pressure plate components slidably connected inside the four limiting grooves, and a baffle component on one side of the connection between the four limiting grooves and the bracket frame.
[0007] Preferably, the heat dissipation assembly includes a heat dissipation fan body, with limiting support plates fixedly connected to both sides of the heat dissipation fan body, positioning blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the two limiting support plates, and inclined plate grooves opened on both sides of the surfaces of the two limiting support plates, with inclined plates fixedly connected to the interior of the four inclined plate grooves, which is beneficial for heat dissipation of the CPU and ensures smooth operation of the computer.
[0008] Preferably, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the inner walls of the two mounting grooves, the surface of the positioning block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove, and fixing holes are provided at the four corners of the surface of the bracket frame.
[0009] Preferably, the pressure plate assembly includes a limiting pressure block, one end of which is fixedly connected to a push-pull plate, and one side of which is fixedly connected to a protrusion. The surface of the limiting pressure block is in contact with the surface of the inclined plate, which facilitates the easy fixing of the cooling fan body and makes installation more convenient.
[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the protrusion.
[0011] Preferably, the baffle assembly includes a grooved support block and a perforated support block, both of which are fixedly connected to the support frame, and a baffle element is slidably connected between the grooved support block and the perforated support block.
[0012] Preferably, the baffle includes a disassembly rod, which is disposed inside the perforated support block. One end of the disassembly rod is fixedly connected to an inclined baffle, which is disposed inside the grooved support block. The other end of the disassembly rod is fixedly connected to an L-shaped pull plate, and a return spring is fixedly connected between the L-shaped pull plate and the perforated support block, which helps to prevent the cooling fan from falling off during use.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: after placing the cooling fan body into the mounting slot of the bracket frame, hold the cooling fan body with your hand and move the four limiting pressure plates toward the cooling fan body. At this time, the four limiting pressure plates press on the two limiting support plates, and the entire cooling fan is firmly installed on the CPU.
[0014] It is also equipped with a baffle assembly that can intercept the limit plate and prevent the cooling fan from falling off during use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a snap-on mounting bracket for a computer cooling fan, including a bracket frame 20. Mounting grooves 19 are provided on both sides of the surface of the bracket frame 20. A heat dissipation component is disposed between two mounting grooves 19. Support blocks 6 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket frame 20, and the four support blocks 6 are evenly arranged. Limiting grooves 7 are provided at both ends of both sides of the bracket frame 20. Pressure plate components are slidably connected inside the four limiting grooves 7. A baffle component is provided on one side of the connection between the four limiting grooves 7 and the bracket frame 20.
[0022] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Furthermore, the heat dissipation assembly includes a cooling fan body 1, with limiting support plates 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the cooling fan body 1. Positioning blocks 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two limiting support plates 2. Inclined grooves 4 are formed on both sides of the surfaces of the two limiting support plates 2. Inclined panels 5 are fixedly connected to the interior of each of the four inclined grooves 4. Positioning grooves 8 are formed on both sides of the inner walls of the two mounting grooves 19. The surface of the positioning block 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 8. Fixing holes 18 are formed at the four corners of the surface of the bracket frame 20. The pressure plate assembly includes a limiting pressure block 9, with a push-pull plate 11 fixedly connected to one end of the limiting pressure block 9. A protrusion 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting pressure block 9. The surface of the limiting pressure block 9 is connected to the inclined panel 5. The surface contact connection is provided. A groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the limiting slide groove 7. The inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the protrusion 10. The baffle assembly includes a grooved support block 12 and a perforated support block 15. Both the grooved support block 12 and the perforated support block 15 are fixedly connected to the bracket frame 20. A baffle is slidably connected between the grooved support block 12 and the perforated support block 15. The baffle includes a disassembly rod 14. The disassembly rod 14 is located inside the perforated support block 15. One end of the disassembly rod 14 is fixedly connected to an inclined baffle 13. The inclined baffle 13 is located inside the grooved support block 12. The other end of the disassembly rod 14 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped pull plate 16. A return spring 17 is fixedly connected between the L-shaped pull plate 16 and the perforated support block 15.
[0023] In use, the inclined panel 5 has an inclination that matches the arc end of the limiting block 9. After aligning the positioning block 3 with the positioning groove 8, the limiting support plate 2 is placed inside the mounting groove 19. At this time, the limiting block 9 is pushed, and the limiting slide 7 runs through from the surface of the bracket frame 20 to one end of the support block 6. Therefore, the limiting block 9 moves horizontally. The contact point between the limiting block 9 and the inclined panel 5 is an arc surface. During the movement of the limiting block 9, the limiting block 9 and the inclined panel 5 gradually press together until the protrusion 10 is completely inserted into the groove. At this time, the limiting force of the limiting block 9 on the limiting support plate 2 is appropriate. While ensuring that the cooling fan body 1 is firmly installed, it can also prevent the limiting support plate 2 from deforming significantly. When the protrusion 10 enters the groove, when the surface of the protrusion 10 contacts the inclined end of the inclined baffle 13, the inclined baffle 13 and the disassembly rod 14 move to one side. At this time, the return spring 17 is compressed. After the protrusion 10 is completely inserted into the groove, the return spring 17 is reset, so that the inclined baffle 13 is reset to intercept the protrusion 10 and prevent the limiting block 9 from coming off during use.
[0024] In this embodiment, the bracket frame 20 is installed onto the motherboard using bolts and fixing holes 18. Then, the cooling fan body 1 is placed onto the bracket frame 20, ensuring the positioning block 3 is aligned with the positioning slot 8. Next, four limiting blocks 9 are used to press the two limiting plates 2 together. One limiting plate 2 is limited by the two limiting blocks 9. At this point, the bottom of the cooling fan body 1 is tightly pressed against the upper surface of the CPU. Thermal grease is applied between them to facilitate heat transfer. Because the inclined plate 5 is angled, after the limiting blocks 9 are installed, they exert a downward force on the inclined plate 5 and the limiting plate 2, thus ensuring the bottom of the cooling fan body 1 is pressed against the upper surface of the CPU. The surface is tightly pressed against the wall. In the horizontal direction, there are positioning blocks 3 and positioning grooves 8 for limiting the position. In the vertical direction, there are the top of the CPU and limiting pressure blocks 9 for limiting the position. At this time, the cooling fan body 1 is installed. If it is necessary to disassemble the cooling fan body 1 later, we can pull the L-shaped pull plate 16 to release the obstruction of the protrusion 10 by the inclined baffle 13. At this time, the limiting pressure block 9 can be pulled out and the cooling fan body 1 can be taken out. It should be noted that this utility model is a snap-on mounting bracket for a computer cooling fan. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Its structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.
[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
