Description

Flip-top air guide

technical field

The utility model relates to an airflow guiding technology, in more detail, relates to an airflow guiding device used in electronic equipment with heating elements and cooling fans.

Background technique

The electronic equipment used in the current market often causes the temperature of the working environment inside the electronic equipment to rise due to frequent use and long operation time. In severe cases, it will even affect the normal operation of the electronic equipment. Taking electronic equipment as an example, due to its The heating elements contained in the mainframe, such as the central processing unit (Central processing unit, hereinafter referred to as CPU), memory, north bridge chip, and power supply, etc., can achieve faster and faster computing speeds, and the data processing capacity is also multiplied Therefore, there are often situations where electronic components fail due to overheating. In order to avoid the failure of such heating elements due to overheating, the current solution generally used in the industry is to install a Cooling fans (such as fans, heat sinks, etc.) are used to export the heat energy generated by the heating element out of the electronic equipment, so as to avoid the damage of the heating element due to excessive temperature, which will cause the unstable operation of the electronic equipment.

However, the above-mentioned method of only deriving the heat energy of the heating element through the cooling fan is not a permanent solution, because there are also some problems in the actual process, especially for the heating element arranged on the main board (PCB). A heat dissipation fan cannot achieve the best heat dissipation effect, so the designer installs a heat dissipation air guide cover with a space for air flow on the heating element, so that when the air flow generated by the cooling fan rotation passes through the air guide cover, Instead, the hot air is discharged through the idle space of the air guide cover, so as to effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of the cooling fan on the motherboard. It can be seen that the air guide cover is indispensable as a necessary object in the heat dissipation system. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of the fixing method of the air guide cover in the electronic equipment case have undoubtedly become the focus of consideration for designers in the industry.

Most of the current air guide covers are fixed by means of a plurality of separate locking members (such as screws). Although this kind of fixing method is stable and firm, it is quite troublesome in the implementation of the operation, especially when it is necessary to fix the air guide cover. When the peripheral components of the hood are tested, inspected or replaced, the operator needs to dismantle and install the wind guide covering the peripheral components many times. In this way, the work efficiency will inevitably be reduced due to the inconvenience of disassembly and installation of the wind guide. Low cost and labor-intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, due to the cumbersome operation process, it is also very easy to cause the disassembled individual locks to be difficult to find and even lost.

Furthermore, some designers set multiple hooks on the edge of the air guide cover, and set multiple holes on the fan housing corresponding to the multiple hooks, so as to avoid the inconvenience of using tools for separate locking elements (such as screws). However, in order to secure the air guide cover on the fan casing, the plurality of hooks and holes need to be strong enough to engage firmly, so there will still be inconveniences in the disassembly and installation operations. However, after repeated disassembly, the hook is easily deformed or even broken, so there are still many disadvantages.

Therefore, how to design a heat-dissipating and air-guiding device that is easy to install and disassemble, so as to avoid the above-mentioned various defects, is actually a problem to be solved urgently by operators in related fields.
