[0036] The detailed description and technical content of the present invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the water-cooled radiator with a light-emitting structure according to the present invention. The present invention is a water-cooled radiator 1 with a light-emitting structure, comprising a water-cooling base 10, a light-emitting module 20, an outer cover 30, and a light-guiding structure 40. The light-emitting module 20 is fixed to the water-cooling base 10. The outer cover 30 is attached to the water-cooling base 10 and covers the light-emitting module 20. The light-guiding structure 40 is integrated within the outer cover 30.

[0038] In this embodiment, the light-emitting module 20 includes a circuit board 21 and a plurality of LEDs 22 disposed on the circuit board 21. The circuit board 21 is connected by a plurality of screws 23 (see...). Figure 2 It is locked in place on the water-cooled base 10.

Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is an exploded perspective view of the water-cooled heat sink with a light-emitting structure according to the present invention, and a schematic diagram of the assembly of the outer casing. The outer casing 30 of the present invention encloses the light-emitting module 20 and is attached to the water-cooling base 10, and the outer casing 30 has a light-emitting port 300. In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer casing 30 includes a lower outer casing 31 and an upper outer casing 32. The lower outer casing 31 is attached to the water-cooling base 10 and frames the light-emitting module 20.

Figures 4 to 6 The figures shown are an exploded perspective view of the upper housing and light guide structure, a cross-sectional view of the upper housing, and a cross-sectional view of the light homogenizing component of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the light guide structure 40 of the present invention is integrated into the upper housing 32. The light guide structure 40 includes a light-diffusing element 41, a lower lens 42, an upper lens 43, and a light-transmitting sheet 44. In this embodiment, the upper housing 32 has the light outlet 300.

[0041] Please refer to another document. Figure 1 The light-diffusing element 41 is integrated into the upper housing 32. The lower lens 42 is obliquely positioned on the light-diffusing element 41. The upper lens 43 is spaced above the lower lens 42 and positioned on the light-diffusing element 41. The light-transmitting sheet 44 is integrated into the upper housing 32 and located above the upper lens 43. In addition, the light-transmitting sheet 44 is fixed to the upper housing 32 and covers the light outlet 300.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water-cooled radiator 1 with a light-emitting structure further includes a decorative sheet group 50. The decorative sheet group 50 includes a plurality of arc-shaped sheets 51, which are spaced apart and disposed on the upper housing 32 around the light-emitting port 300.

[0043] In practice, the lower lens 42 can be configured as a one-way mirror to reflect light incident on it. The upper lens 43 is a half-lens with a transparency of approximately 15-20%, but this is not a limitation. This transparency setting affects the reflection of light incident on the lower lens 42. Additionally, the light-transmitting sheet 44 is a completely transparent or semi-transparent black sheet.

[0044] It should be noted that the lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 of the present invention are arranged obliquely so that the light band irradiated by the lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 can be biased inward. In addition, the lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 are stacked one on top of the other to concentrate the light, thereby producing stronger and more inwardly focused light.

[0045] It should also be noted that the light-transmitting sheet 44 is provided to protect the light guide element located within the light outlet 300 and to provide the desired visual effects such as displayed images or text.

[0046] Specifically, the light diffuser 41 can be used to soften light and includes a positioning block 411 and a plurality of inclined slots 412 surrounding the positioning block 411. The positioning block 411 is disposed opposite to the light outlet 300 and protrudes from one side of the inclined slots 412. The lower lens 42 is disposed on the inclined slots 412.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning block 411 is triangular in shape. The lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 are correspondingly triangular. The lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 are each composed of a plurality of trapezoidal pieces 421 and 431 connected together. In addition, the light outlet 300 and the light-transmitting sheet 44 are also triangular in shape.

[0048] More specifically, the light-diffusing element 41 has a positioning groove 413 on one outer side of the inclined grooves 412. One side of the upper lens 42 abuts against the positioning block 411, and the other side abuts against the positioning groove 413. It is worth noting that the light-diffusing element 41 has a light-guiding surface 414 on one side of the inclined grooves 412. The light-guiding surface 414 is located between the lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 and is not blocked by the outer cover 30.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light guide structure 40 further includes a positioning piece 45. The positioning piece 45 is attached to the positioning block 411, and the upper lens 42 surrounds the positioning piece 45. Furthermore, the positioning piece is arranged in a triangular shape corresponding to the upper lens 43.

[0050] Furthermore, the light-diffusing element 41 has a plurality of light guide sheets 415. These light guide sheets 415 are spaced around the periphery of the light-diffusing element 41, and the top surface of each light guide sheet 415 protrudes from the outer cover 30.

[0051] More specifically, the upper housing 32 has a flange 321 formed on one side of the light outlet 300, and the light-transmitting sheet 44 is disposed on the flange 321 to cover the light outlet 300. Furthermore, the upper housing 32 is provided with a plurality of through slots 322 and a plurality of recesses 323. Each light guide sheet 415 is inserted into the through slot 322 and protrudes from the upper housing 32. The arc-shaped sheets 51 are disposed in the recesses 323.

[0052] Please refer to another source. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the light emission of the water-cooled heat sink with a light-emitting structure according to the present invention. The light emitted by the light-emitting module 20 illuminates the light diffuser 41, passes through the light guide surface 414, and then passes through the lower lens 42 and the upper lens 43 to generate stronger and more inwardly focused light. Finally, it exits through the light-transmitting sheet 44, thus displaying the desired light emission effect. Furthermore, the light emitted by the light-emitting module 20 can exit through the light guide sheet 415, thereby increasing the variability of the light.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to define the patent scope of the present invention. Other equivalent variations that utilize the patent spirit of the present invention should all fall within the patent scope of the present invention. The present invention may also have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
