Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a mounting device for mounting a fan unit. The mounting device may include a reference plane and a reference axis normal to the reference plane, the fan unit in a disengaged orientation being receivable towards the reference plane along the reference axis. The device may also include a set of engagement members radially disposed around the reference axis and arranged to surround the fan unit in the disengaged orientation at the reference plane, the engagement members engageable with the fan unit upon actuation of the fan unit planarly along the reference plane from the disengaged orientation to an engaged orientation.
Claims19
A mounting device for mounting an axial fan unit, the mounting device comprising:
- a reference plane and a reference axis normal to the reference plane, the axial fan unit being receivable towards the reference plane along the reference axis when the axial fan unit is in a disengaged orientation;
- a set of engagement members radially disposed around the reference axis and arranged to surround the axial fan unit when the axial fan unit is in the disengaged orientation at the reference plane, the engagement members engageable with the axial fan unit upon rotation of the axial fan unit, the rotation being along a first rotational direction about the reference axis from the disengaged orientation to an engaged orientation;
- and
- a set of engagement elements disposed on the engagement members, the engagement elements engageable within a set of mounting holes of the axial fan unit when the axial fan unit is at the reference plane and upon rotation of the axial fan unit to the engaged orientation,
- wherein when the axial fan unit is in the disengaged orientation at the reference plane, the axial fan unit is rotatable towards the engagement members and is rotatable along both the first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposing the first rotational direction;
- wherein when the axial fan unit is in the disengaged orientation at the reference plane and upon rotation of the axial fan unit along the second rotational direction, the engagement members prevent engagement of the axial fan unit;
- wherein when the axial fan unit is in the engaged orientation upon rotation of the axial fan unit along the first rotational direction, the engagement members that are engaged with the axial fan unit resist movement of the axial fan unit along the reference axis and the engagement elements that are engaged with the mounting holes of the axial fan unit resist rotation of the axial fan unit about the reference axis;
- and
- wherein the engaged engagement elements are disengageable from the mounting holes by rotating the axial fan unit along the second rotational direction.
