Fan housing and wire clipping mechanism thereof

Abstract

A fan housing includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a clip member protruding toward the second frame, and a limit member connected with the clip member. The limit member has a slot along the outer wall of the first frame so that a wire can pass through the slot. The second frame includes an engaging member corresponding to the clip member and having a recess to be engaged with the clip member. When the first and second frames are combined, the wire will be securely fastened in the slot.

1 . A fan housing comprising:
 a first frame comprising a clip member and a limit member connected with the clip member, wherein the limit member has a slot; and   a second frame comprising an engaging member, wherein the engaging member has a recess corresponding to the clip member for being coupled with the clip member, and when the first frame and the second frame are combined, the limit member, the clip member and the engaging member form a fixing space.   
   
   
       2 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the clip member protrudes toward the second frame. 
   
   
       3 . The fan housing according to  claim 2 , wherein one end of the clip member near the second frame is an inclined structure. 
   
   
       4 . The fan housing according to  claim 2 , wherein the clip member is elastically deformed for being inserted into the recess of the engaging member. 
   
   
       5 . The fan housing according to  claim 2 , wherein the limit member and the clip member are integrally formed as a single piece. 
   
   
       6 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the limit member is integrally formed with the first frame as a single piece. 
   
   
       7 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , wherein a part of the clip member is disposed in the recess. 
   
   
       8 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the engaging member is integrally formed with the second frame as a single piece. 
   
   
       9 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , wherein the limit member has a slot along an outer wall of the first frame, and the second frame further comprises a blocking member extending from the second frame toward the slot. 
   
   
       10 . The fan housing according to  claim 9 , wherein the blocking member is integrally formed with the second frame as a single piece. 
   
   
       11 . The fan housing according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one another engaging member and at least one protrusion, both of which are optionally disposed on the first frame and the second frame, respectively. 
   
   
       12 . A wire clipping mechanism disposed on a fan housing, the wire clipping mechanism comprising:
 a first clipping structure disposed on the fan housing and having a clip member and a limit member connected with the clip member; and   a second clipping structure having an engaging member and disposed on the fan housing corresponding to the first clipping structure, wherein the clip member protrudes toward the engaging member, and the engaging member has a recess to be engaged with the clip member.   
   
   
       13 . The wire clipping mechanism according to  claim 12 , wherein one end of the clip member has an inclined structure. 
   
   
       14 . The wire clipping mechanism according to  claim 13 , wherein the clip member is elastically deformed for being inserted into the recess of the engaging member. 
   
   
       15 . The wire clipping mechanism according to  claim 14 , wherein a part of the clip member is disposed in the recess. 
   
   
       16 . The wire clipping mechanism according to  claim 15 , wherein the limit member has a along an outer wall of the fan housing, and the second clipping structure further comprises a bengaging member extending from the fan housing toward the slot. 
   
   
       17 . The wire clipping mechanism according to  claim 12 , wherein the clip member and the limit member are integrally formed as a single piece.
