Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure provides a fan, including a first case, a second case, and a reset mechanism. The first case includes a first side wall, where the first side wall has a first guide portion. The second case includes a second side wall, where the second side wall has a second guide portion. The first guide portion and the second guide portion are slidably joined and are configured to enable the first case and the second case to move toward or away from each other. The reset mechanism is connected to the first case and is configured to push the second case to move away from the first case.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fan, comprising: a first case, comprising a first side wall, wherein the first side wall has a first guide portion; a second case, comprising a second side wall, a first projection, and a second projection, wherein the second side wall has a second guide portion, the first guide portion and the second guide portion are slidably joined, and are configured to enable the first case and the second case to move toward or away from each other, and the first projection and the second projection are disposed on the second side wall; and a reset mechanism, connected to the first case, and configured to push the second case to move away from the first case, wherein the reset mechanism comprises a pushing portion and a stopping portion, the pushing portion is configured to push the first projection, the stopping portion is connected to the pushing portion, and the stopping portion is located on a side of the second projection distant from the first case and is configured to be abutted by the second projection. 2. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the first projection is of an L shape, and the pushing portion extends to be between the first projection and the second side wall. 3. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the reset mechanism further comprises an abutting portion, the abutting portion is connected between the pushing portion and the stopping portion and is configured to abut the second projection. 4. The fan according to claim 3 , wherein the second case is configured to move relative to the first case in a first direction, the abutting portion is configured to abut the second projection in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the abutting portion has a first engaging structure, and the first engaging structure is configured to engage with the second projection. 5. The fan according to claim 4 , wherein the reset mechanism further comprises an extended portion, the stopping portion is connected between the abutting portion and the extended portion, and the extended portion is bent relative to the stopping portion, and has a second engaging structure. 6. The fan according to claim 3 , wherein the reset mechanism further comprises a connecting portion, the connecting portion is connected between the pushing portion and the abutting portion, and the connecting portion is connected to the first case. 7. The fan according to claim 6 , wherein the first case comprises a third projection, the third projection is disposed on the first side wall, and the connecting portion is of a ring shape and is sleeved over the third projection. 8. The fan according to claim 6 , wherein the first case comprises a third projection, the third projection is disposed on the first side wall, and the connecting portion is embedded in the third projection.
