Hot plug fan and electronic device having the same

Abstract

An electronic device includes a chassis and a hot plug fan. The chassis includes a top plate defining a hole. The hot plug fan includes a main body and two handles rotatably connected to a top of the main body. The main body is received in the chassis through the hole, with the handles exposed out of the hole.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hot plug fan, comprising:
 a main body comprising a connector formed on a bottom of the main body; and   two handles rotatably connected to a top of the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The hot plug fan of  claim 1 , wherein each handle comprises a substantially U-shaped operation portion and two feet respectively extending out from two distal ends of the operation portion, two substantially U-shaped recesses are defined in the top of the main body, and two elongated slots are defined in the top of the main body and each slot is adjacent to opposite ends of a corresponding recess, with two ends of the slot respectively communicating with the ends of the corresponding recess, the feet of each handle are pivotably connected to opposite end walls bounding a corresponding one of the slots, when the handles are rotated onto the main body, the operation portions are received in the corresponding recesses. 
     
     
         3 . The hot plug fan of  claim 2 , wherein the ends of the recesses face towards each other, and the slots are parallel to each other. 
     
     
         4 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a chassis comprising a top plate defining a hole; and   a hot plug fan comprising a main body and two handles rotatably connected to a top of the main body, wherein the main body is received in the chassis through the hole, with the handles exposed out of the hole.   
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein two stop plates perpendicular to the top plate are formed in the chassis to bound two opposite sides of the hole, the main body of the hot plug fan is sandwiched between the stop plates. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein a connector is directly formed on the bottom of the main body of the hot plug fan, to connect the hot plug fan to the chassis. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein each handle comprises a substantially U-shaped operation portion and two feet respectively extending out from two distal ends of the operation portion, two substantially U-shaped recesses are defined in the top of the main body, and two elongated slots are defined in the top of the main body and each slot is adjacent to opposite ends of the corresponding recess, with two ends of the slot respectively communicating with the ends of the corresponding recess, the feet of each handle are pivotably connected to opposite end walls bounding a corresponding one of the slots, when the handles are rotated onto the main body, the operation portions are received in the corresponding recesses. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the ends of the recesses face towards each other, and the slots are parallel to each other.
