发明名称 Information processing apparatus and image forming apparatus
摘要 An information processing apparatus includes a fan having an impeller. The fan further has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The information processing apparatus further includes a frame to which the fan is mounted in a predetermined orientation so that the first side of the fan faces the frame. The frame has a ventilation opening facing the impeller. A resilient member is provided on the frame so as to face the fan. The fan has a supporting member on the first side and an opening on the second side. The supporting member faces the resilient member.

主权项 1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a fan having a rotation shaft and an impeller provided on an outer circumference of the rotation shaft, the fan further having a first side and a second side opposite to each other; a frame to which the fan is mounted in a predetermined orientation so that the first side of the fan faces the frame, the frame having a ventilation opening facing the impeller; and a resilient member provided on the frame so as to face the fan, the resilient member having a fixed end portion and a free end portion extending from the fixed end portion, the free end portion being displaceable in a direction of the rotation shaft, wherein the fan has a supporting portion on the first side, and an opening on the second side, the supporting portion facing the resilient member; wherein in a state where the fan is mounted to the frame in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the free end portion reaches a rotational area of the impeller via the opening; and wherein in a state where the fan is mounted to the frame in the predetermined direction, the supporting portion contacts the free end portion of the resilient member to cause the resilient member to resiliently deform, and prevents the resilient member from reaching the rotational area of the impeller.
