ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fixing structure of a radiator, and more particularly to a fixing structure of a radiator, wherein the radiator may be conveniently combined with a fixing plate that has a positioning hole, and may be conveniently detached from the fixing plate without breaking the body of the radiator.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional radiator in accordance with the prior art shown in
FIG. 1
is fixed in a fixing structure having a central processor, and comprises a fixing plate
90
provided with a plurality of positioning holes
91
, and a base plate
92
having one surface provided with a plurality of upright combination posts
93
. Each combination post
93
has a cone-shaped combination portion
94
whose diameter is greater than that of each combination post
93
, and the combination portion
94
is provided with a through hole
95
. The combination portion
94
may be compressed to pass through each positioning hole
97
of a radiator seat
96
and each positioning hole
91
of the fixing plate
90
, so that the radiator may be fixed and combined with the fixing plate
90
having a central processor.
After each combination post
93
of the base plate
92
is snapped in the positioning hole
91
of the fixing plate
90
, it is necessary to cut and break each combination post
93
so as to detach the base plate
92
. Thus, the radiator cannot be used again. Therefore, according to the fixing manner of the base plate
92
of the radiator and the fixing plate
90
, after they are combined and fixed, they cannot be detached and used. In addition, each combination post
93
protrudes outward from the base plate
92
. Thus, each combination post
93
is easily broken due to hit or collision, so that the entire radiator cannot be used.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a fixing structure of a radiator, wherein the radiator may be conveniently combined on a fixing article, and may be conveniently detached from the fixing article for the next use without breaking the body of the radiator, thereby decreasing the consumption so as to reduce the cost.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a fixing structure of a radiator including a base plate, and a heat-sink seat to form a radiator. The base plate of the radiator is provided with an impeller that may be rotated to drive the air to flow. The base plate is provided with at least one combination tube which has a through hole. The heat-sink seat is provided with at least one ear plate that defines a hole. The through hole of the combination tube may align with the hole of the ear plate for passage of at least one snap connecting rod. The snap connecting rod has a first end provided with a cap head, and a second end provided with a cone-shaped snap connecting portion. The greatest outer diameter of the snap connecting portion being greater than a diameter of the snap connecting rod and the positioning hole of the fixing plate. The snap connecting portion may pass through the through hole of the base plate and the hole of the ear plate, and may be locked and snapped on the other side edge of the positioning hole of a fixing plate.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
