Abstract
A fan assembly includes a rack, a shield, and a fan. The rack defines a first vent opening and a second vent opening aligned with the first vent opening. The shield is mounted in the rack and aligned with the first vent opening. The shield defines a circular opening corresponding to the first vent opening. A plurality of shielding pieces are pivotally mounted in the circular opening. The plurality of shielding pieces together form a circular shield in themselves to cover the circular opening by gravity. The fan is mounted in the rack and aligned with the second vent opening and the shield. The fan blows air towards the plurality of shielding pieces and rotates the shielding pieces to define an air passage between each two adjacent shielding pieces. The air passage allows air to flow therethrough only when the fan is operating.

After therack 20 is mounted in an electronic device, thesecond side wall 23 is located in the electronic device, and thefirst side wall 21 is located outside of the electronic device. A plurality ofpartitions 25 are secured between thefirst side wall 21 and thesecond side wall 23 to form a plurality ofreceiving rooms 27 in therack 20. Each of the plurality ofreceiving rooms 27 is adapted to receive afan 30 and ashield 40. Thefirst side wall 21 defines a first vent opening 211 and anotch 213 corresponding to each of the plurality ofreceiving rooms 27. Thenotch 213 is located above the first vent opening 211. Thesecond side wall 23 defines a second vent opening 231 corresponding to each of the plurality ofreceiving rooms 27. The first vent opening 211 is aligned to the second vent opening 231. Each of the plurality ofpartitions 25 forms alimiting piece 251 separating thecorresponding receiving room 27 into a fan receiving room (not labeled) and a shield receiving room (not labeled). A distance between thesecond side wall 23 and thelimiting piece 251 is larger than that between thefirst side wall 21 and thelimiting piece 251. The fan receiving room is located adjacent to thesecond side wall 23. The shield receiving room is located adjacent to thefirst side wall 21. Each of the plurality ofpartitions 25 defines amounting hole 253. - The
fan 30 includes ashell 31 and a group of blades (not labeled) rotatably mounted in theshell 31. Theshell 31 includes aside plate 34. Anelastic piece 35 is located on theside plate 34. A protrusion 351 is formed on theelastic piece 35. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 , show theshield 40 which includes aframe 41. A top portion of theframe 41 extends upward to form alock 43. Thelock 43 includes aconnection piece 431, abent piece 432, and ahandle 433. Theconnection piece 431 is connected to theframe 41. Thebent piece 432 is perpendicularly connected to a top portion of theconnection piece 431. Thehandle 433 is perpendicularly connected to thebent piece 432. Atab 435 is formed on a connection portion of thebent piece 432 and theconnection piece 431. A center portion of theframe 41 is hollow to define acircular opening 418. A plurality ofparallel pivot shafts 413 is pivotally mounted in thecircular opening 418. Each of the plurality ofpivot shafts 413 is located diagonally in thecircular opening 418. Each of the plurality ofpivot shafts 413 secures ashielding piece 46. Theshielding piece 46 includes asecuring portion 467 and afree portion 468. Thesecuring portion 467 is secured on acorresponding pivot shaft 413. Theshielding piece 46 is adapted to rotate together with thecorresponding pivot shaft 413. Theshielding piece 46 includes afirst side face 461 and asecond side face 462. Between every twoadjacent shielding pieces 46, thesecond side face 462 of thefree portion 468 of oneshielding piece 46 is located on thefirst face 461 of thesecuring portion 467 of theother shielding piece 46. Opposite ends of eachshielding piece 46 is arc-shaped corresponding to the diameter of thecircular opening 418. All of theshielding pieces 46 mounted on the plurality ofpivot shafts 413 can form a circular shield to cover the entirecircular opening 418. -
FIGS. 1 to 5 , show the device assembled, that thefan 30 is placed into the fan receiving room of thereceiving room 27. Theelastic piece 35 is bent by thepartition 25. Thefan 30 is moved until the protrusion 351 is aligned to themounting hole 253. Theelastic piece 35 rebounds to insert the protrusion 351 in themounting hole 253 mounting thefan 30 in thereceiving room 27. In this position, thefan 30 is aligned to the second vent opening 231. - The
shield 40 is placed into the shield receiving room of thereceiving room 27. Thesecond side plate 462 of each of the plurality of shieldingpieces 46 faces thefan 30. Thetab 435 of theshield 40 is locked in thenotch 213 of therack 20 mounting theshield 40 in thereceiving room 27. In thereceiving room 27, thelimit 251 separates theshield 40 from thefan 30. In this position, thefirst side face 461 of each of the plurality of shieldingpieces 46 faces thefirst vent opening 211. - When the fan assembly is mounted on the electronic device and the
fan 30 is working, thefan 30 rotates to suck air into thefan 30 via the second vent opening 231. Air flows through thefan 30 and towards to second side faces 462 of the plurality of shieldingpieces 46 of theshield 40. Each of the plurality of shieldingpieces 46 are subjected to air pressure and rotate in thecircular opening 418. Therefore, an air passage 80 (referring toFIG. 5 ) is defined between every twoadjacent shielding pieces 46. Air flows out of therack 20 via theair passages 80. - If the
fan 30 does not rotate, simple gravity causes the plurality of shieldingpieces 46 to fall back and shield theair passages 80 and theframe opening 418. Therefore, dust and other contaminants cannot enter into the electronic device via the first andsecond vent openings rack 20. - It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
