Abstract
A combining assembly for a fan fixing base is fixed in a housing and includes a fan module and a frame plate. The fan module includes a fixing base, a heat-dissipating fan disposed in the fixing base, and a plurality of locking elements. The heat-dissipating fan is provided with a plurality of locking holes. The fixing base has a plurality of through-holes. The locking elements are disposed through the through-holes to be connected into the locking holes, thereby fixing the heat-dissipating fan into the fixing base. The frame plate is provided with a plurality of positioning troughs to correspond to the locking elements. The fan module is engaged in the positioning troughs via the locking elements.

A combining assembly for a fan fixing base, fixed in a housing and including:
- a fan module comprising a fixing base, a heat-dissipating fan disposed in the fixing base, and a plurality of locking elements, the heat-dissipating fan being provided with a plurality of locking holes, one side of the fixing base having a plurality of through-holes, the locking elements being disposed through the through-holes to be fixedly connected into the locking holes, thereby fixing the heat-dissipating fan into the fixing base;
- a plurality of locking pads, each locking pad being provided with a penetration hole, the locking elements being disposed through the penetration holes and the plurality of through-holes to be connected into the locking holes respectively;
- and
- a frame plate fixed into the housing, the frame plate being provided with a plurality of positioning troughs to correspond to the locking elements, the fan module being engaged in the positioning troughs via the locking elements,
- wherein the fixing base comprises a stopping plate and two side plates extending from both first side edges of the stopping plate, the two side plates extend inwardly to form two wings respectively,
- wherein two corners of each of two second edges of each of the two side plates away from the stopping plate are truncated to form gaps between each of the two side plates and each of the two wings, and the plurality of locking pads are fitted into each of the gaps respectively, and
- wherein the plurality of locking elements penetrate the penetration holes of the plurality of locking pads respectively and further are locked into the plurality of locking holes of the heat-dissipating fan to fix the heat-dissipating fan to the fixing base, the fixing base is further hooked and slidably fixed to the frame plate by pressing the plurality of locking pads into the plurality of positioning troughs on the frame plate.
