[0047] In this embodiment, the computer case 10 includes a box body 100, a first cover 200, and a second cover 300. The box body 100 includes a frame 110 and a functional module 120. The frame 110 has an adjacent first side 1101 and a second side 1102. The frame 110 has a first installation opening 111 beside the functional module 120. That is to say, the frame 110 and the functional module 120 jointly surround and form the first installation opening 111. The first cover 200 covers the first installation opening 111, for example. The second side 1102 of the frame 110 has a second installation opening 112. The second cover 300 covers the second installation opening 112, for example. Among them, the shape and size of the second installation opening 112 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the first installation opening 111. The shape and size of the second cover 300 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the first cover 200 and the first installation opening 111. The so-called substantially the same means the same or similar.
[0048] The functional module 120 has a plurality of functional elements 121 and is disposed on the first side 1101 of the frame 110. These functional elements 121 can be, for example but not limited to, a power switch button, a lighting adjustment button, a universal serial bus port, or an audio port, etc.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first cover 200 covers the first installation opening 111, and the second cover 300 covers the second installation opening 112, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first cover may also cover the second installation opening, and the second cover may also cover the first installation opening.
[0050] In this embodiment, since the shape and size of the second cover 300 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the first cover 200 and the first installation opening 111, only the first cover 200 will be taken as an example for description below. The first cover 200 includes a bending portion 210, a flat portion 220, and a notch portion 230. The bending portion 210 and the notch portion 230 are connected to opposite sides of the flat portion 220. The shape of the notch portion 230 is complementary to the shape of the functional module 120.
[0051] In this embodiment, the frame 110 has a third side 1103. The third side 1103 is opposite to the second side 1102, and the second side 1102 and the third side 1103 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first side 1101. The computer casing 10 may further include a third cover 400. The third cover 400 is disposed on the third side 1103 of the frame.
[0052] In this embodiment, the box body 100 may further include a fourth cover 130. The fourth cover 130 includes a protrusion 131 and a plate portion 132. The plate portion 132 is connected to the protrusion 131 and has a plurality of ventilation holes 1321. By providing the ventilation holes 133, the heat dissipation effect of the computer casing 10 can be improved. The fourth cover 130 is disposed on the second side 1102 of the frame and is adjacent to the second cover 300. The outer shape of the protrusion 131 is complementary to the outer shape of the notch portion 330 of the second cover 300. The fourth cover 130 and the frame 110 jointly surround and form a second installation opening 112.
[0053] In this embodiment, the materials of the first cover 200, the second cover 300, and the third cover 400 are, for example, glass, but are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the materials of the first cover, the second cover, and the third cover may also be light-transmissive materials such as acrylic or light-impermeable materials such as metal.
[0054] In this embodiment, the number of the functional elements 121 is multiple, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of the functional elements may also be only one.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are, for example, solid cover plates, but are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 . Figure 4 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a computer casing disclosed according to the second embodiment of the present utility model.
[0056] The computer casing 10A of this embodiment is similar to the computer casing 10 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment will be described below, and the same parts will not be repeated. In the computer casing 10A of this embodiment, the second cover 300A is made of a light-impermeable material such as metal, and the flat plate portion 320A of the second cover 300A has a plurality of ventilation holes 320A1, so that the heat dissipation effect of the computer casing 10A can be improved.
[0057] In this embodiment, the material of the first cover 200 is glass, the second cover 300A is an opaque material such as metal, and the flat portion 320A of the second cover 300A has a plurality of ventilation holes 320A1, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, the material of the first cover may also be an opaque material such as metal, the second cover may also be glass, and the flat portion of the first cover may also have a plurality of ventilation holes.
[0058] The first cover 200 and the second cover 300, and the first cover 200A and the second cover 300A in the above embodiments are in the same form, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, the first cover and the second cover may also be any of the above forms respectively. For example, the first cover may be a cover plate with ventilation holes, and the second cover may be a glass cover plate. In this way, both aesthetics and good heat dissipation effects can be achieved at the same time.
[0059] For the computer case and the box according to the above embodiments, the shapes and sizes of the first mounting opening, the second mounting opening, the first cover, and the second cover are substantially the same, so that the user can swap the first cover and the second cover according to the usage requirements. For example, when the first cover is a cover plate with ventilation holes and the second cover is a glass cover plate, the user can swap the first cover and the second cover according to the actual fan heat dissipation path to achieve the desired viewing effect and good heat dissipation effect for the user.
[0060] Although the present utility model is disclosed as above with the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the relevant art can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
