Abstract
A fan module includes a mounting bracket, a fan and an anti-backflow device are detachably installed in the mounting bracket. The fan is configured to generate airflow along a predetermined direction, and the anti-backflow device allows the airflow to pass through. The fan is configured to generate airflow in another direction by being turned over, and the anti-backflow device allows the airflow in another direction to pass through be being turned over correspondingly. The anti-backflow device includes a louver assembly for one-way pass function. An electronic device includes the fan module is also provided.
Claims16
A fan module, comprising:
- a mounting bracket comprising a base, a first side wall, and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are disposed at respective opposite ends of the base;
- a fan detachably installed in the mounting bracket, and located between the first side wall and the second side wall;
- and
- an anti-backflow device detachably installed in the mounting bracket, wherein the anti-backflow device is located between the fan and the first side wall, and the anti-backflow device comprises a louver assembly and a filter, the louver assembly comprises a frame and multiple blades rotatably mounted to the frame, and the filter is removable mounted on the frame;
- wherein the second side wall comprises a guiding slope forming an acute angle with a plane defined by the base, and the guiding slope is configured for guiding the fan module to be inserted in position,
- wherein an airflow passage is formed by rotating the multiple blades to open thereby facilitating air flows, and the multiple blades rotate to drop to close when the fan stops rotating.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a casing defining a plurality of vents;
- and
- a plurality of fan modules assembled in the plurality of vents, each of the plurality of fan modules comprising:
- a mounting bracket comprising a base, a first side wall, and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are disposed at respective opposite ends of the base;
- a fan detachably installed in the mounting bracket, and located between the first side wall and the second side wall;
- and
- an anti-backflow device detachably installed in the mounting bracket, wherein the anti-backflow device is located between the fan and the first side wall, and the anti-backflow device comprising a louver assembly and a filter, the louver assembly comprises a frame and multiple blades rotatably mounted to the frame, and the filter removable mounted on the frame;
- wherein the second side wall comprises a guiding slope forming an acute angle with a plane defined by the base, and the guiding slope is configured for guiding the fan module to be inserted in position,
- wherein the multiple blades rotate to open to form an airflow passage that allows air passing through, the multiple blades rotate to droop to close when the fan stops operating.
