Description

Chassis Cooling Module

technical field

The invention relates to a heat dissipation module, and in particular to a case heat dissipation module.

Background technique

With the increase of the processing speed and the expansion of the functions of the computer device, the heat generated by each device inside the case becomes larger and larger. In order to remove the heat inside the chassis smoothly, the chassis is usually equipped with a cooling module to try to reduce the temperature of the entire system to maintain system stability. There are many types of heat dissipation modules. In order to meet the cost considerations, multiple system fans are generally installed on the inner wall of the chassis. The rotation of the system fans allows the air inside and outside the chassis to flow smoothly, reducing the system temperature.

However, there are also many signal transmission lines, power lines and various adapter card devices inside the computer case. When the system fan or other equipment needs to be removed or replaced, the small chassis space filled with too many equipment often causes inconvenience in operation.

Therefore, how to improve the structure of the heat dissipation module of the chassis, so that the replacement of the heat dissipation module of the chassis can be more convenient, and the working time can be reduced is the wish that manufacturers expect at present.

Contents of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a chassis heat dissipation module, which is used to increase the convenience of equipment replacement and reduce the working time.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a case cooling module, which has a case, a tray, at least one fan and at least one pivot structure. The case has an open surface, and the tray has at least one opening. The fan is fixed on the tray corresponding to the opening and the opening surface. The pivot structure couples the chassis and the tray, so that the tray can rotate toward the outside of the chassis, or parallel to the opening surface. When the tray is parallel to the opening surface, the fan faces the opening surface, so that the fan can suck the outside air into the case or discharge the air inside the case.

The present invention has the following beneficial effects: in the embodiment, the pivot structure is composed of a pivot shaft, a pivot hole and a pivot sleeve, and the pivot sleeve and the pivot shaft can be separated from each other. In another embodiment, the pivot structure is composed of a fixing hole, a pivot hole and a pivot member, and the pivot member and the fixing hole can be separated from each other. The tray can thus be detached from the enclosure.

The chassis cooling module fixes the fan on the tray, and uses a pivot structure to couple the tray to the chassis, so that the angle of the tray to the chassis can be changed, reducing the difficulty of disassembling the fan. Moreover, the tray can be completely detached from the chassis, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the fan more flexible, and the replacement of the cooling module of the chassis is also simpler, reducing the working time.

In order to further understand the features and technical content of the present invention, please refer to the following detailed description and drawings related to the present invention. However, the drawings are provided for reference and illustration only, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

The case 110 has an open surface 112 for allowing the air inside the case 110 to communicate with the outside air. The tray 120 has an aperture 122 . The fan 130 is fixed on the tray 120 corresponding to the opening 122 and the opening surface 112 . In this embodiment, the chassis heat dissipation module 100 has a plurality of fans 130 and openings 122. In other embodiments, the number of the two can be optimally matched according to the size of the fans and the size of the openings, so that the fans 130 can cooperate with each other when starting. The opening 122 sucks in or exhausts air.

The pivot structure 140 is coupled to the chassis 110 and the tray 120 , so that the tray 120 can rotate toward the outside of the chassis 110 , as shown by arrow A. As shown in FIG. In addition, the tray 120 may also be in a state parallel to the opening surface 112 . When the tray 120 is parallel to the opening surface 112, the fan 130 is facing the opening surface 112, so that the fan 130 can suck the outside air into the chassis 110, or discharge the air inside the chassis 110 to reduce the system temperature. And when the tray 120 rotates toward the outside of the chassis 110 at a certain angle, the fan 130 can be disassembled, and the fan 130 can be easily replaced.

In this embodiment, the opening surface 112 is designed to be recessed into the chassis 110 , forming a notch 114 . In addition, the tray 120 is closely matched with the notch 114 , so when the tray 120 is parallel to the opening surface 112 , the tray 120 can be fixed on the notch 114 , so that the appearance of the cabinet 110 remains consistent.
