Abstract
A heat dissipating assembly. The heat dissipating assembly comprises a frame, a clamping member, and a rotatable handle. The frame comprises a locking member. The clamping member is disposed crossing the frame. The rotatable handle is rotatably connected to the frame and abuts the clamping member. The rotatable handle exerts pressure on the clamping member, and the locking member locks the rotatable handle.
Claims18
A heat dissipating assembly, comprising:
- a fan frame comprising a locking member and a cylindrical shaft;
- an impeller disposed in the fan frame and rotatable about the cylindrical shaft;
- a clamping member disposed on the fan frame and having an embossed pattern formed on the surface of the clamping member for enhancing the strength thereof;
- and
- a rotatable handle rotatably connected to the fan frame and abutting the clamping member;
- wherein the rotatable handle exerts pressure on the clamping member, and the locking member secures the rotatable handle to the fan frame.
