Fan device
A fan device includes a board defining an opening and a fan assembly pivotably received in the opening. The fan assembly includes a fan and a frame receiving the fan. The frame includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and two sidewalls. A front plate extends down and diagonally forward from a front side of the bottom wall. A resilient limiting member is formed on one of the sidewalls. When a bottom of the fan assembly is pivoted rearward to make the fan assembly slanting relative to the board, the front plate is abutted a front side of the board, and the limiting member is abutted a rear side of the board.
1. A fan device, comprising:
a board defining an opening; and
a fan assembly comprising a frame pivotably mounted to the board and in the opening, and a fan received in the frame; the frame comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, and two sidewalls connected between corresponding ends of the top and bottom walls, a front plate extending down and diagonally forward from a front side of the bottom wall, a resilient limiting member formed on one of the sidewalls;
wherein the front plate is abutted against a front surface of the board, and the limiting member is abutted against a rear surface of the board opposite to the front surface, in response to a bottom of the fan assembly is pivoted rearward to make the fan assembly slanting relative to the board.
2. The fan device of claim 1 , wherein two installation pieces extend out from the front surface of the board at opposite sides of the opening, two pins extend out from the sidewalls of the frame to be pivotably inserted into the installation pieces.
3. The fan device of claim 2 , wherein a cover slantingly extends down and forward from the board and at a top side of the opening, to contact the top wall of the frame in response to the fan assembly being slanting relative to the board.
4. The fan device of claim 1 , wherein a rear plate extends down from a rear side of the bottom wall, a fixing member comprising a tab is mounted to a rear surface of the board adjacent to the opening, the rear plate is abutted the rear surface of the board, and the tab is abutted a rear surface of the rear plate, in response to the fan assembly being positioned in a direction in which the board extends.
5. The fan device of claim 4 , wherein the fixing member further comprises a fastener extending through the tab and then engaged in the board, to pivotably mount the tab to the board.
6. The fan device of claim 1 , wherein a slot is defined between the limiting member and the corresponding sidewall, the limiting member comprise a resilient piece having a front end connected to the sidewall and a projection extending out from the resilient piece, the projection comprises a slanted guiding surface slantingly extending rearward and a blocking surface opposite to the guiding surface to abut the rear surface of the board.
7. The fan device of claim 1 , wherein a handle is mounted to a bottom of a rear side of the frame.
