Abstract

A plug-in fan is assembled at a periphery of an electronic device. By an operation of the plug-in fan, temperature resulted when the electronic device is operating is decreased. An assembly plane of the periphery of the electronic device is formed with a plurality of plug-in holes, and corresponding assembly planes of the plug-in fan are assembled with a plurality of corresponding plug-in devices. When they are assembled correspondingly, each plug-in device corresponds with each plug-in hole and both are fixed quickly by pushing in or latching in. In addition, the assembling can be quickly accomplished without requiring an assistance of any hand tool.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A plug-in fan that is quickly latched, after being pushed in, on an assembly plane of an electronic device which needs to be cooled down, comprising a cooling fan which produces airflow after operating, and planes of which are formed with a plurality of assembly holes; and a plurality of plug-in devices, an end of each of which is transfixed respectively into a cushion, followed by being fixed into each assembly hole of the cooling fan. 
     
     
         2 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a hard disk fixing rack. 
     
     
         3 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein an assembly plane of the electronic device is formed with a plurality of plug-in holes. 
     
     
         4 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 3 , wherein the plug-in hole is formed with a slide-in member and a latching member, with the slide-in member being connected with the latching member. 
     
     
         5 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 4 , wherein an outer diameter of the latching member is a little smaller than that of the slide-in member. 
     
     
         6 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein the cushion is elastic. 
     
     
         7 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer circumference of the cushion is formed with a latching slot. 
     
     
         8 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein an assembly plane of the electronic device is formed with a plurality of plug-in holes, each of which is provided with a slide-in member and a latching member, with the slide-in member being connected with the latching member. 
     
     
         9 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a case of a computer host. 
     
     
         10 . The plug-in fan according to  claim 9 , wherein an assembly plane of the case is formed with a plurality of plug-in holes, each of which is provided with a slide-in member and a latching member, with the slide-in member being connected with the latching member.
