[0046] To further understand the structure, features, purpose, and advantages of the creation of the present utility model, the following is a detailed description with attached drawings and preferred specific embodiments.

[0047] Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B are respectively the first perspective and second perspective stereograms of an electronic device with an internal temperature adjustment function of the present utility model. And, Figure 2A is Figure 1A the first three-dimensional exploded view of the electronic device with an internal temperature adjustment function shown, and Figure 2B is Figure 1B the second three-dimensional exploded view of the electronic device with an internal temperature adjustment function shown. As Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B 、 Figure 2A 、and Figure 2B shown, the electronic device 1 with an internal temperature adjustment function of the present utility model (hereinafter referred to as "electronic device 1") mainly includes: a housing 11, at least one circuit board 111, a plurality of electronic components 112, at least one electronic chip 113, at least one fan 13, and at least one heater 14. Among them, the housing 11 accommodates the at least one circuit board 111, the plurality of electronic components 112, and the at least one electronic chip 113, and includes a base 11B and a cover 11T. More specifically, the base 11B includes a bottom and four sides connecting the bottom, and the four sides are respectively a first side 11S1, a second side 11S2, a third side 11S3, and a fourth side 11S4 of the housing 11. And, the first side 11S1, the second side 11S2, the third side 11S3, and the fourth side 11S4 together enclose an opening, and the cover 11T is coupled to the base 11B to close the opening.

[0048] It should be additionally noted that the second side 11S2 faces the first side 11S1 and there is a first distance between them. Correspondingly, the fourth side 11S4 faces the third side 11S3 and there is a second distance between them. Moreover, the first side 11S1 is connected to the third side 11S3, the third side 11S3 is connected to the second side 11S2, the second side 11S2 is connected to the fourth side 11S4, and the fourth side 11S4 is connected to the first side 11S1. In other words, the third side 11S3 is connected between the first side 11S1 and the second side 11S2, and the fourth side 11S4 is connected between the first side 11S1 and the second side 11S2.

[0049] It should be noted that at least one fan mounting hole 12 is formed on the first side 11S1 such that at least one fan 13 is embedded in the at least one fan mounting hole 12. As Figure 2A shown, an air suction side of the fan 13 is exposed outside the housing 11, and an air exhaust side thereof is located inside the housing 11. With such an arrangement, when the fan 13 operates normally, cold air from the outside is sucked by the fan 13 and fed into the housing 11. Figure 2B shown, an air suction side of the fan 13 is exposed outside the housing 11, and an air exhaust side thereof is located inside the housing 11. With such an arrangement, when the fan 13 operates normally, cold air from the outside is sucked by the fan 13 and fed into the housing 11.

[0050] On the other hand, the heater 14 is disposed inside the housing 11 and is adjacent to or attached to a second side 11S2 of the housing 11. As Figure 2A shown, the heater 14 faces the fan 13. Specifically, the heater 14 is controlled by a controller and may be, but is not limited to, a PTC ceramic heating sheet, a mica electric heating sheet, a metal heating sheet, a silicone rubber heater pad, a silicon carbide heating element, or a thermo-electric converter. Moreover, in a feasible embodiment, the thermo-electric converter includes at least one thermo-electric conversion wafer, and the thermo-electric conversion wafer may be, but is not limited to, a single-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer, a multi-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer, a single-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer with a central perforation, or a multi-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer with a central perforation. Figure 2B shown, the heater 14 faces the fan 13. Specifically, the heater 14 is controlled by a controller and may be, but is not limited to, a PTC ceramic heating sheet, a mica electric heating sheet, a metal heating sheet, a silicone rubber heater pad, a silicon carbide heating element, or a thermo-electric converter. Moreover, in a feasible embodiment, the thermo-electric converter includes at least one thermo-electric conversion wafer, and the thermo-electric conversion wafer may be, but is not limited to, a single-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer, a multi-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer, a single-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer with a central perforation, or a multi-layer thermo-electric conversion wafer with a central perforation.

[0051] Figure 3 is a top view of the base 11B, the fan 13, and the heater 14. As Figure 2A shown, Figure 2B shown, Figure 3As shown, at least one first air outlet hole 15 is formed on the third side 11S3, and at least one second air outlet hole 16 is formed on the fourth side 11S4. Moreover, the first side 11S1 is designed to include a first section, a first bending section connecting the first section, an intermediate concave section connecting the first bending section, a second bending section connecting the intermediate concave section, and a second section connecting the second bending section, such that the fan mounting hole 12 is located in the intermediate concave section. Through such a structural design, the third side 11S3, the first section, the first bending section, the intermediate concave section, and the fan 13 form a first air collecting space inside the housing 11, such that the at least one first air outlet hole 15 faces the first air collecting space. Correspondingly, the fourth side 11S4, the second section, the second bending section, the intermediate concave section, and the fan 13 form a second air collecting space inside the housing 11, such that the at least one second air outlet hole 16 faces the second air collecting space.

[0052] As Figure 3 shown, when the heater 14 is operating normally and the fan 13 is running normally, the cold air from the outside is fed into the housing 11 by the fan 13. Since the fan 13 faces the heater 14, therefore, inside the housing 11, the fan 13 pushes the cold air collected from the outside towards the heater 14, such that the cold air is heated by the heater 14 into warm air. It should be noted that since the first air outlet hole 15 faces the first air collecting space on one side of the fan 13, the second air outlet hole 16 faces the second air collecting space on the other side of the fan 13, and the fan 13 continuously pushes the cold air collected from the outside towards the heater 14, the warm air made by the heater 14 is forced to avoid the middle flow path where the cold air flows from the fan 13 towards the heater 14, and thus flows from the heater 14 towards the first air collecting space along a first side flow path adjacent to the middle flow path, and at the same time flows towards the second air collecting space along a second side flow path adjacent to the middle flow path and from the heater 14.

[0053] Finally, the warm air flows into the outside through the first air outlet hole 15 in the first air collecting space, and flows into the outside through the second air outlet hole 16 in the second air collecting space. Briefly speaking, the fan 13, the heater 14, the first air outlet hole 15 and the second air outlet hole 16 form a convection heating assembly, so as to be able to uniformly increase the temperature of the internal space of the housing 11, such that the electronic device 1 can be powered on and operate normally.

[0054] It should be supplementary explained that as Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B 、 Figure 2A 、and Figure 2BAs shown, the multiple electronic components 112 include N electrical connectors, and N exposed holes 11E are further formed on the third side 11S3 to expose the N electrical connectors outside the housing 11, where N is a positive integer.

[0055] In summary, the electronic device with an internal temperature adjustment function of the present utility model has been fully and clearly described. However, it must be emphasized that the foregoing disclosed in this case is a preferred embodiment, and any partial changes or modifications that are easily inferred by those skilled in the art from the technical idea of this case are within the scope of the patent right of this case.
