[0002] With the rapid development of computer technology, the performance of computer hardware has been continuously improved, bringing users unprecedented computing power and user experience. However, the operation of high-performance hardware is also accompanied by the generation of a large amount of heat, which poses a severe challenge to the cooling system of the computer case. The accumulation of heat inside the case can lead to a sharp rise in the operating temperature of the hardware, thereby affecting its performance and, in severe cases, even causing system crashes or hardware damage.

[0003] Traditional cooling solutions primarily rely on installing cooling fans inside the computer case to expel heat and achieve cooling. However, this approach has significant limitations. Firstly, a fan operating at a constant speed can only provide a fixed cooling capacity. When hardware operates under high load, the generated heat may exceed the fan's cooling limit, causing the internal temperature of the case to rise continuously. Secondly, the control module design of some devices is not intuitive enough, making it difficult for users to monitor the internal temperature and fan status in real time; some devices' fan control strategies are not flexible enough to be customized according to the user's actual needs. Therefore, to address these issues, the inventors have proposed a computer case cooling device. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a heat dissipation device for a computer chassis, including a support module 20, a control module 10, a motherboard 1, and a heat dissipation module 30. The control module 10 is installed on one side of the support module 20 and is used to detect or adjust the temperature inside the computer chassis. The motherboard 1 is vertically installed on the support module 20. The heat dissipation module 30 is installed at one end of the motherboard 1 and is electrically connected to the control module 10 for dissipating heat from the inside of the computer chassis.

The display adjustment panel 102 is installed on the top of the panel cover 106, and the transparent acrylic 101 is installed on the upper surface of the display adjustment panel 102.

[0022] Specifically, transparent acrylic 101 covers the display adjustment panel 102, protecting the display screen 104 from dust and impacts while providing a clear visual effect.

[0023] The display control panel 102 has an embedded display screen 104 for real-time display of key data such as the temperature and fan speed inside the chassis. Users can use this data to understand the chassis's heat dissipation status.

[0024] The panel cover 106 extends outward and has multiple adjustment knobs 103. These knobs are connected to the heat dissipation module 30 and are used to manually adjust the fan speed and heat dissipation strategy.

[0025] The panel cover 106 has a display screen 104 inside. The display screen 104 is installed at one end of the transparent acrylic 101 to facilitate the display of control data. The panel cover 106 extends outward and has adjustment knobs 103. Multiple adjustment knobs 103 are vertically installed on the panel cover 106 and are used to adjust the heat dissipation module 30.

[0026] Specifically, the display screen 104 in the control module 10 visually displays key data such as the internal temperature and fan speed of the chassis through a transparent acrylic panel 101. This data is received and processed by the adjustment PCB board 105 and then transmitted to the display screen 104. Users can manually control the heat dissipation module 30 using multiple adjustment knobs 103 on the panel cover 106. These knobs are connected to the adjustment PCB board 105 and can adjust parameters such as fan speed and the sensitivity of the temperature control strategy.

[0027] An adjustment PCB board 105 is provided at one end of the display screen 104. A lower panel cover 107 is provided extending outward from the adjustment PCB board 105, and the lower panel cover 107 is connected to the upper panel cover 106.

[0028] Specifically, the adjustment PCB board 105 is mainly used to receive signals input by the user and convert them into control commands for the heat dissipation module 30. At the same time, the adjustment PCB board 105 is also connected to the lower cover 107 of the panel, providing stable structural support for the entire control module 10.

[0029] It also includes a power supply box 11, which is installed inside the support module 20 and is used to supply power to the heat dissipation module 30 and the control module 10.

[0030] Specifically, the power supply box 11 is installed inside the support module 20, providing a stable power supply for the entire heat dissipation device. It adopts a highly efficient and energy-saving design, which can reduce energy consumption and heat generation while ensuring stable system operation.

[0031] The heat dissipation module 30 includes a fan control PCB board 31 and a SATA power supply 32. The fan control PCB board 31 is installed at one end of the motherboard 1, and the SATA power supply 32 is installed on the fan control PCB board 31.

[0033] One end of the fan control PCB board 31 is provided with a fan power supply interface 34 for electrical connection with an external power source, and a fan synchronization interface 33 is provided on one side of the fan power supply interface 34. The fan synchronization interface 33 is mounted on the fan control PCB board 31.

[0034] Specifically, the PWM chip 35 adjusts the speed of the cooling fan 37 in real time according to the temperature inside the chassis to achieve the best heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the fan control PCB board 31 is also equipped with a fan power supply interface 34 and a fan synchronization interface 33 for connecting and synchronizing with external power supplies and other fans.

[0035] The fan control PCB board 31 has a PWM chip 35 installed inside. The PWM chip 35 is vertically mounted in the middle of the fan control PCB board 31. The fan control PCB board 31 extends outward to provide a temperature probe interface 36. The temperature probe interface 36 is installed at the rear of the fan control PCB board 31 and is away from the SATA power supply 32.

[0036] Specifically, the temperature probe interface 36 connects to a temperature sensor (not shown) inside the chassis to monitor the internal temperature in real time.

The display screen 104 is located below the transparent acrylic panel 101, allowing users to clearly see key information such as the current temperature and fan speed through the transparent acrylic panel.

[0037] Based on the received temperature data, the PWM chip 35 calculates the optimal speed of the cooling fan 37 using a complex algorithm and sends control signals to the fan drive circuit on the fan control PCB board 31. These control signals adjust the speed of the cooling fan 37 to cope with changes in the internal temperature of the chassis. When the temperature rises, the PWM chip 35 increases the fan speed to improve heat dissipation efficiency; when the temperature drops, it decreases the fan speed to reduce noise and energy consumption.

[0038] It also includes a cooling fan 37, which is mounted on the power supply box 11 and is used to dissipate heat from inside the chassis.

[0039] Specifically, the cooling fan 37 is installed on the power supply box 11 and uses the principle of air convection to expel heat from inside the chassis and keep the internal temperature of the chassis suitable.

[0040] The support module 20 includes a base 25, a lower L-shaped surround plate 24, and a rear cover plate 23. The lower L-shaped surround plate 24 is vertically mounted on the top of the base 25, and the rear cover plate 23 is vertically mounted on one end of the lower L-shaped surround plate 24. A chassis body 21 extends outward from the rear cover plate 23 and is mounted on the rear cover plate 23. Side plates 22 extend outward from the chassis body 21 and are vertically mounted on the chassis body 21. The motherboard 1 is located at one end of the side plate 22.

[0041] Specifically, the support module 20 consists of a base 25, a lower L-shaped panel 24, and a rear cover 23, providing a stable mounting base for the entire heat dissipation device. The chassis body 21 and side panels 22 further optimize the airflow structure inside the chassis, allowing air to flow smoothly through the chassis and effectively remove heat.
