Benefits of technology

[0014]A further object of the present invention is to provide a cooling apparatus, which checks the internal temperature of a computer and displays it, thus rendering control of a cooling operation possible, therefore enhancing cooling efficiency and stabilizing the operation of parts of the computer.
[0015]Still another object of the present invention is to provide a cooling apparatus, which can be installed and used in an existing computer body, so that changes in structure and volume attributable to the installation of the cooling apparatus are not required.

Problems solved by technology

The conventional apparatuses have many problems.
One of the problems found in the conventional cooling apparatuses is insufficient cooling ability.
Thus, although the performance of a cooling fan is continuously improving, the apparatuses which are currently widely used have a limit for sufficiently eliminating emitted heat.
Further, in order to increase cooling ability, the cooling apparatus becomes large and complicated, which is undesirable.
The air cooling type apparatus is problematic in that noise is generated because of the use of a fan, in addition to insufficient cooling ability.
That is, the air cooling type apparatus is greatly affected by the position of a computer body.
When air does not circulate smoothly or hot air is not discharged smoothly from a computer to the outside, the cooling efficiency of operating equipment in the computer is considerably reduced, thus causing the malfunction of the equipment.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a computer cooling apparatus which introduces cooling air into a computer body while using the existing air cooling method, thus rapidly cooling heat generated by operating equipment in the computer, and preventing a reduction in operating efficiency.

first embodiment

[0033]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an apparatus for cooling heat generated from a computer body 110 according to the present invention includes an opening hole 112, a cooling hole 115, and a cooling means 170. The opening hole 112 is formed in either of side covers 111 closing both side surfaces of the computer body 110 so as to permit external air to flow into the computer body 110. The cooling hole 115 is formed in the side cover 111 in such a way as to be spaced apart from the opening hole 112. The cooling means 170 is provided inside the side cover 111 of the computer body 110, and generates cooling air and cools a refrigerant by supplying, circulating and collecting a refrigerant stored in a refrigerant tank 130, thus cooling the interior of the computer body 110 with cooling air.

[0034]First, the opening hole 112 is formed in either of the side covers 111 closing both side surfaces of the computer body 110 so as to permit the inflow of external air, and the cooling hole 115 is fo...

second embodiment

[0044]As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5B, an apparatus for cooling heat generated from a computer body 110 according to the present invention includes a cooler 123 and a heat exchanger 120 which are mounted to a side cover 111 of the computer body 110. The cooling apparatus 1000 is constructed so that a refrigerant stored in a refrigerant tank 130 circulates in the heat exchanger 120 to produce cooling air and a refrigerant having increased temperature passes through the cooler 123 to be cooled and collects in the refrigerant tank 130, thus cooling the interior of the computer body 110 using the cooling air.

[0045]The heat exchanger 120 is provided on either of the side covers 111 closing both side surfaces of the computer body 110, and is installed in back of an opening hole 112 which permits the inflow of external air.

[0046]Further, the cooler 123 is provided in back of a cooling hole 115, spaced apart from the opening hole 112, in such a way as to be surrounded by a closing plate 116, and ...

third embodiment

[0061]As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, according to the present invention, opening holes 112 are formed in either of side covers 111 closing both side surfaces of a computer body 110 to permit the inflow of external air, and a cooling hole 115 is formed so as not to interfere with the opening holes 112. A cooler 123 is installed in back of the cooling hole 115 in such a way as to be surrounded by a closing plate 116.

[0062]A heat exchanger 120 may be provided in the lower portion of a casing 113 of the computer body 110.

[0063]Further, in order to circulate cooling air produced from the heat exchanger 120, a blast fan 140 may be provided inside the opening holes 112 of the side cover 111, and the cooler 123 may be provided at a side of the blast fan 140.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus, which circulates a refrigerant in a computer body to produce cooling air and introduces the cooling air into the computer body, thus cooling the computer body. The apparatus includes an opening hole formed in either of side covers closing both side surfaces of the computer body to permit inflow of external air. A cooling hole is formed in the side cover in such a way as to be spaced apart from the opening hole. A cooling means is provided inside the side cover of the computer body, produces cooling air and cools a refrigerant by supplying, circulating and collecting the refrigerant stored in a refrigerant tank, thus cooling the interior of the computer body with the cooling air.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a cooling apparatus which introduces cooling air into a computer body to cool the computer body and, more particularly, to a cooling apparatus, which circulates a refrigerant in a computer body to produce cooling air and introduces the cooling air into the computer body, thus cooling the computer body.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]As is well known to those skilled in the art, electronic equipment such as computers generally includes parts which emit heat.[0005]In order to maintain the temperature of the electronic equipment, for example, the computer within an operating range, a variety of types of cooling apparatuses have been proposed to eliminate heat from heat emitting parts.[0006]That is, as conventional cooling apparatuses which have been developed and are being used currently, a water cooling type apparatus, an air cooling type apparatus, a gas and refrige...
