Blower assembly

Abstract

A blower assembly for dissipating heat from a printed circuit board (PCB), the blower assembly includes a bracket and a fan. The bracket includes a sidewall defining an inlet and a lateral wall defining a fixing slot to receive one end of the PCB, the lateral wall also defines an outlet adjacent the fixing slot. The fan is installed in the bracket and exposed through the inlet to suck air, configured for expelling air from the inlet to the outlet to cool the PCB.

1 . A blower assembly for dissipating heat from a printed circuit board (PCB), the blower assembly comprising:
 a bracket comprising a sidewall defining an inlet, and a lateral wall defining a fixing slot to receive one end of the PCB, wherein the lateral wall also defines an outlet adjacent the fixing slot; and   a fan, installed in the bracket and exposed through the inlet to suck air, configured for expelling air from the inlet to the outlet to cool the PCB.   
   
   
       2 . The blower assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket further comprises at least one mounting part configured for fixing the bracket to the PCB. 
   
   
       3 . The blower assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one mounting part comprises two mounting holes defined in two corners of the sidewall adjacent the outlet, for two screws extending through to resist against the PCB. 
   
   
       4 . The blower assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewall is perpendicular to an axis of the fan, the lateral wall is parallel to the axis. 
   
   
       5 . The blower assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket is a flat rectangular box. 
   
   
       6 . The blower assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet is round. 
   
   
       7 . A blower assembly for dissipating heat from a printed circuit board (PCB), the blower assembly comprising:
 a bracket defining an inlet, and an outlet perpendicular to the inlet, wherein a fixing slot is defined in the bracket adjacent the outlet, to receive one end of the PCB; and   a fan, installed in the bracket, configured for expelling air from the inlet to the outlet to cool the PCB.   
   
   
       8 . The blower assembly of  claim 7 , wherein at least one mounting part is formed on the bracket, for fixing the bracket to the PCB. 
   
   
       9 . The blower assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one mounting part comprises two mounting holes defined in the bracket, for two screws extending through to resist against the end of the PCB. 
   
   
       10 . The blower assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the inlet is perpendicular to an axis of the fan.
