Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing; a mounting plate having an electronic device mounted thereon and fixedly connected with said housing, said mounting plate being formed with a through bore; a supporting plate fixedly connected with at least one of said housing and said mounting plate and formed with a through bore; a cooling fan device intervening between and supported by said mounting plate and said supporting plate, and adapted to ventilate said housing through said through bore of said mounting plate and said through bore of said supporting plate; and a resilient member disposed between said cooling fan device and said mounting plate and between said cooling fan device and said supporting plate to absorb vibrations of said cooling fan device while said cooling fan device is being driven to ventilate said housing to cool said electronic device, and in which said cooling fan device has a first surface and a second surface opposing to and spaced apart from each other, said mounting plate and said supporting plate have respective complementary portions forming in cooperation a holding portion for holding said cooling fan device, and at least said first surface and said second surface of said cooling fan device are opposing to and held in resiliently pressing contact with said holding portion with said resilient member disposed therebetween, said mounting plate includes a first holding section, said supporting plate includes a second holding section, said first holding section and said second holding section collectively serve as said holding portion, said cooling fan device has a first contact surface and a second contact surface opposing to and spaced apart from each other, a top surface and a bottom surface opposing to and spaced apart from each other and substantially in perpendicular relationship with said first contact surface, and a pair of side surfaces opposing to and spaced apart from each other and substantially in perpendicular relationship with said first contact surface and said bottom surface, said first contact surface, said side surfaces, and said bottom surface are opposing to and held in pressing contact with said first holding section of said mounting plate, and said second contact surface and said top surface are opposing to and held in pressing contact with said second holding section of said supporting plate.
