Patent Application
20170156237
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application 201510840118.X filed on Nov. 27, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to a mounting apparatus for a fan.
When electronic devices are operating, microprocessors can generate heat. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the electronic devices can be damaged.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous components. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a mounting apparatus. In at least one embodiment, the mounting apparatus is used to mount a fan. The mounting apparatus includes a mounting plate and a fastening bracket. The fastening bracket includes a fastening panel and a fastening member. The fastening member includes a first fastening portion and a second fastening portion. The first fastening portion is slidably mounted on the fastening panel. The second fastening portion is fixed to the fastening panel. The mounting plate defines a first slot and a second slot. The first fastening portion is slidably received in the first slot to prevent the fastening bracket from moving relative to the mounting plate along a first direction. The second fastening portion is received in the second slot to prevent the fastening bracket from moving relative to the mounting plate along a second direction. The second direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
The mounting plate 10 defines two first slots 12, two second slots 14, and a vent 16. In at least one embodiment, the vent 16 can be substantially circular.
When the fastening bracket 20 needs to be moved away from the mounting plate 10, the fastening bracket 20 is moved along the first direction. The first fastening portion 240 moves out of the first slot 12. The second fastening portion 242 moves out of the second slot 14.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of the mounting apparatus. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
