BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an chassis of an industrial computer, in which a configuration of a computer system mounted inside the chassis is formed in a structure in which air flow to the outside can be smoothly generated. Effective divergence ensures a longer life and safer systems.

In general, the computer chassis has a structure that can achieve the waterproof, dustproof, and heat dissipation effect to ensure the safety of the system, especially in the case of industrial computers, because the system of several units are mounted at the same time inside the chassis, The heat generated makes the temperature considerably high.

Therefore, the high temperature inside the chassis not only makes the operation of the system unstable, but also causes the failure of the system. Therefore, the chassis is equipped with a fan for dissipating heat generated from the system to the outside of the chassis. Vents are formed to discharge the hot air to the outside by the inflow of external air.

Despite this, the conventional chassis is not sufficiently ventilated, and as the system operating time elapses, the internal temperature gradually increases to reach a high temperature of more than 50 degrees, which shortens the life of the system and ensures safety. Is there.

In other words, the problem is that the chassis is usually a multi-layer structure, even if a fan is mounted therein, the wires connected to each system component are intertwined with each other in the arrangement of the systems mounted inside the chassis as shown in FIG. 7. Therefore, since the internal space is not properly secured, heat flow from the outside is blocked, and heat dissipation is not effective.

As a result, frequent failures of the system were generated, which resulted in shortening the life of the system.

Accordingly, the present invention is directed to the problem that the flow of air by the fan mounted therein is blocked due to lack of internal space due to the entanglement of the wires, by changing the arrangement of the system mounted inside the chassis It is intended to lower the temperature of the chassis than conventional by inducing effective heat dissipation by solving the problem that the internal space is not properly secured due to the problem.

To this end, the chassis of the present invention allows the USB port to be disposed inside the chassis to protrude to the outside of the chassis so as to expand the inner space of the chassis while arranging the power switches vertically to neatly arrange the wires. It is possible to do this, and also to form a partition wall to the rear where the power supply is mounted, and to form a backplane mounting portion in which the power supply can be directly connected without the bundle of wires, thereby causing the air flow to be disturbed by the wire bundles. To solve them.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the configuration of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the computer chassis of the present invention has a built-in case 20 having the same shape in both sides 13 of the case 10. The bottom surface 24 is inserted by a predetermined height spaced apart from the bottom surface 14 of the outer case 10 by the locking step 13a formed inside, and the upper cover 30 is coupled to the upper side thereof so that The storage space is formed in a multi-layer structure divided into an upper layer and a lower layer, and the upper layer 41 and the lower layer 42 are disposed on the front surface 21 of the interior case 20 and the front surface 11 of the exterior case 10. Is provided with a protective cover 40, the plurality of USB port arrangement portion 1 is formed in the upper door 31 of the protective cover 30 to expand the inner space of the lower layer of the chassis, In the center of the front face 11 of the outer case 10, a plurality of power switch arrangement portions 2 And the hard rack arrangement portion 3 on both sides thereof, and the power supply arrangement portion 4 is formed on one side of the rear surface 12 of the outer case 10, and a plurality of the other side are formed on the rear side 12 of the outer case 10. Port arrangement portion 5 and power cable connector arrangement portion 6 are configured to be adjacent to each other.

At this time, the exterior case 10 is formed with a partition wall 50 for partitioning the front and rear storage spaces of the lower layer to the rear of the power supply arrangement portion 4, the power supply arrangement portion 4 is formed in the partition 50. Backplane mounting portion 51 is formed on one side to allow the power supply mounted on the backplane to be connected through the backplane to enable mounting of the power supply using the backplane. The opening 52 of a predetermined area is formed.

In this case, the backplane is a backplane for internal and external connection of device devices, units, modules, circuit boards, etc., and is mainly made of a circuit board including a power supply bus, an electronic circuit, and an interface socket. Both passive and active with electronic circuits are possible.

In addition, the protective cover 40 to improve the flow of air by forming a horizontal opening of the air vent 43, which was formed in a conventional hole shape, the side 13 and the interior case 20 of the outer case 10 In the side 23 of the vent holes 13a and 23a which have not been formed in the past, respectively, so that the inflow of external air can be made smoothly.

In addition, the noise filter arranging portion 7 is formed above the power cable connector arranging portion 6.

Meanwhile, the front side 11 and the rear side 12 of the exterior case 10 are formed at the same height as the height at which the locking step 13a of the side surface 13 is formed, and the front side of the interior case 20 above the side ( 21) and the rear surface 22 are stacked so that the upper and lower layers are separated by the bottom surface 24. At this time, the bottom surface 24 of the interior case 20 also passes the wires and air to the upper and lower layers. The opening part 24a for this is formed, and this is a well-known technique comprised in the conventional chassis.

Therefore, the computer chassis of the present invention configured as described above is formed in the protective cover 40 and protrudes out of the chassis, so that the inner space of the lower layer is expanded as much as the space in which the USB port is arranged. The power switch placement unit 2 is arranged in the longitudinal direction between the hard rack placement units 3 so that the power switches 2a and the wires 100 connected to the hard rack 3a can be easily aligned. In addition, the partition 50 is formed at the rear of the power supply arrangement 2 so that the rear surface of the power supply 300 is directly inserted into the backplane 200 mounted to the partition 50 as shown in FIG. 6. Since it can be connected, as shown in FIG. 7, the power supply 300 does not require a bundle of wires connected at all.

In addition, the wires 100 connected to the port 5a mounted on the port arranging unit 5 and the power cable connector 6a mounted on the power cable connector arranging unit 6 are close to each other. You can sort it.

Therefore, the arrangement of the system components is such that the flow space of the air is widened to induce a smooth flow of air.

In addition, through the ventilation holes 13a and 23a respectively formed on the side surface 13 of the outer case 10 and the side surface 23 of the inner case 20, the inflow and outflow of external air is performed so much that the chassis is operated during system operation. The heat generated from the inside can be easily dissipated to the outside.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is measured and compared with a temperature inside the chassis generated when the system is operating when the system is mounted in a conventional computer chassis, and the computer chassis of the present invention is a conventional embodiment. It was found that the average temperature of the overall system was reduced by 8 ° C.
