Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a casing and an electronic device, in particular to a casing and an electronic device in which a fan bracket is movably arranged on a box body. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, the computing efficiency of processors has increased significantly, and at the same time, a large amount of heat is generated. To ensure that the processor is not damaged due to high heat, a fan needs to be installed on the electronic product to dissipate the excessive heat of the processor, so that the processor can operate within a certain operating temperature range.

[0003] Generally speaking, the fan is arranged in the electronic product through a fan bracket. However, the current fan bracket is fixedly arranged in the electronic product. Therefore, when the configuration of the processor in the electronic product is different, the fan cannot adjust its installation position accordingly. That is to say, the current installation flexibility of the fan is low, and it can only dissipate heat for a processor with one configuration. For processors with other configurations, the heat dissipation efficiency will be reduced because the air flow cannot directly pass through. Therefore, how to improve the installation flexibility of the fan and thus improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan is one of the problems that R & D personnel should solve.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 . Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 It is Figure 1 The three-dimensional schematic diagram of the electronic device omitting the side plate. Figure 3 It is Figure 2 The partially enlarged three-dimensional schematic diagram of the electronic device.

[0052] The electronic device 10 of this embodiment includes a chassis 20, a heat source 30, a fan bracket 40, a plurality of fasteners 50, and a plurality of fans 60. The chassis 20 includes a box body 21 and a plurality of first fixing columns 22. The heat source 30 is, for example, an electronic component such as a central processing unit or a graphics processing unit, and is disposed in the box body 21. The fan bracket 40 is movably disposed in the box body 21 and is located at a first position or a second position. For example, the fan bracket 40 is slidably disposed in the box body 21. Among them, the fan bracket 40 at the first position is not parallel to the fan bracket 40 at the second position, and there is an included angle between the fan bracket 40 at the first position and the fan bracket 40 at the second position. The included angle is, for example, an acute angle. In this way, the airflow generated when these fans 60 disposed on the fan bracket 40 operate can blow towards the heat source 30 for heat dissipation. Among them, the setting of the heat source 30 is coordinated with the heat dissipation path in the chassis 20. For example, the setting position of the heat source 30 can be adjusted according to the heat dissipation holes (not shown) of the chassis 20 or the heat dissipation contact area of the heat source 30. Since in the electronic device 10, the structure of the fan bracket 40 at the first position is similar to the structure of the fan bracket 40 at the second position, the structure of the fan bracket 40 at the first position will be described below.

[0053] Specifically, the box body 21 includes a front plate 211, two side plates 212, and an upper plate 213. The opposite sides of the front plate 211 are respectively connected to the two side plates 212, and the front plate 211 and the two side plates 212 are connected to the upper plate 213. Since the structures of the two side plates 212 are the same, one of the side plates 212 will be described below. When the fan bracket 40 is located at the first position, the fan bracket 40 is not parallel to the side plate 212. That is to say, the fan bracket 40 is obliquely disposed in the box body 21.

[0056] These fans 60 are disposed on one side of the mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 has a plurality of ventilation holes 411. These ventilation holes 411 respectively correspond to these fans 60, so that the air flow generated when these fans 60 operate can pass through and blow toward the heat source 30 for heat dissipation.

Specifically, the housing 20 may further include a plurality of second fixing posts 23, and the upper plate 213 may further have a plurality of second mounting holes 2132. These fasteners 50 pass through these first through holes 421 of the top plate 42 and are locked to these second mounting holes 2132 of the upper plate 213, so that the fan bracket 40 is fixed at the second position.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the fan bracket 40 is movably disposed on the cabinet 21 and located at a first position or a second position that are not parallel, when the heat source 30 of the electronic device 10 can be configured in various ways, only by adjusting the setting position of the fan bracket 40, the heat sources 30 with various configurations can be dissipated. In this way, the flexibility of installing the fan 60 can be improved, and further the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan 60 can be improved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the cabinet 21 may further include a lower plate 214.

When the fan bracket 40 is located at the second position, these fourth fixing posts 25 pass through these second through holes 431 of the bottom plate 43 and are socketed to these socket members 70.

[0061] In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 includes a plurality of second fixing posts 23 disposed in a plurality of second mounting holes 2132, and the top plate 42 has a plurality of through holes, and a plurality of fasteners 50 pass through these through holes of the top plate 42 and are locked to these second fixing posts 23, so that the fan bracket 40 is fixed at the second position, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the electronic device may not include a plurality of second fixing posts, such that these fasteners directly pass through these through holes of the top plate and are locked to these second mounting holes of the upper plate, so that the fan bracket is fixed at the second position.

[0062] In this embodiment, the fan bracket 40 is located at the first position or the second position by being respectively socketed to these socket members 70 through these third fixing posts 24 or these fourth fixing posts 25, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the fan bracket may also be located at the first position or the second position by being respectively locked to a plurality of fasteners through these third fixing posts or these fourth fixing posts.

[0063] For the housing and the electronic device according to the above embodiment, since the fan bracket is movably disposed on the cabinet and located at a first position or a second position that are not parallel, when the heat source of the electronic device can be configured in various ways, only by adjusting the setting position of the fan bracket, the heat sources with various configurations can be dissipated. In this way, the flexibility of installing the fan can be improved, and further the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan can be improved.
