Abstract

An assembly device for a power supply is composed of a rectangular case which is provided with a transversal spacer grid in a horizontal direction, with an upper spacer grid and a lower spacer grid being vertically installed above and below the transversal spacer grid, to divide the rectangular case into four rectangular positioning holes; and four rectangular power supplies which are inserted and fitted into the four rectangular positioning holes respectively, such that when the four power supplies start, four fans at their front parts can be activated, thereby allowing air inside and outside the rectangular case to be able to flow uniformly.

Claims (5)

1. An assembly device for a power supply, comprising:

a rectangular case which is provided with a transversal spacer grid in a horizontal direction, with an upper spacer grid and a lower spacer grid being vertically installed above and below the transversal spacer grid respectively, to divide the rectangular case into four rectangular positioning holes; and four rectangular power supplies which are inserted and fitted into the four rectangular positioning holes respectively, such that when the four power supplies start, four fans in their front parts can be activated to achieve a uniform flow of air inside and outside the rectangular case,

wherein middles of the transversal spacer grid are provided with two rectangular through-holes, a back surface of the rectangular case is provided with meshes, a top surface of the rectangular case is provided with meshes, a bottom surface of the rectangular case is provided with meshes, and two side surfaces of the rectangular case are provided with through-holes, in order to facilitate the air to access the internal space of rectangular case through the meshes and through-holes.

2. The assembly device for a power supply according to claim 1 , wherein the upper and lower spacer grids are provided with through-holes to provide for a circulation of air between the neighboring positioning holes.

3. The assembly device for a power supply according to claim 1 , wherein for each power supply, a peripheral wall of its case is provided with meshes, and an outlet end of its fan is positioned at an outlet of the positioning hole.
