Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation for communication components, and specifically to an external heat dissipation chassis. Background Technology
[0002] A computer chassis is an enclosure used to house computer computing modules, primarily including the CPU, memory, hard drive, optical drive, power supply, and other input / output controllers and interfaces. The modules installed inside the chassis generate significant heat during operation, and this heat accumulates as the modules run, causing the internal temperature of the chassis to rise. To prevent high temperatures from affecting the operation of the computing modules, cooling fans are typically installed inside the chassis to dissipate heat through airflow.
[0003] With the continuous updating and iteration of social technology, the frequency and duration of use of various modules will increase, which will lead to an increase in their heat dissipation and power consumption, and will emit a lot of heat. Especially when the computer is performing some high-intensity calculations, its heat dissipation will be even greater. For example, when the computer is running high frame rate games, it will increase the operating power of each module, and generate more heat.
[0004] Currently, to address the aforementioned issues, increasing the number of fans during computer case assembly is generally used to improve heat dissipation. However, due to limited space within the case, adding fans has significant limitations. If the case contains a large number of modules, there may be no room to increase the number of fans. Furthermore, the heat generated by the modules within the case is affected by the computer's operating state. When the computer is running at low frame rates, less heat is generated, thus requiring less intensive cooling. Conversely, when running at high frame rates, more heat is generated, necessitating more intensive cooling. This leads to additional fans operating even when the computer is running at low frame rates, resulting in increased power consumption and noise. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issue of the inability of the internal cooling fans to adaptively adjust their operating frequency, this invention proposes an externally cooled chassis, comprising a chassis body, a cooling vent on one side of the chassis body, and a cooling component detachably connected to the chassis body corresponding to the cooling vent. Ventilation holes are provided on the side of the chassis body facing away from the cooling component.
[0006] A further feature of this invention is that a baffle is slidably connected to one side surface of the chassis body where the heat dissipation assembly is installed, and the size of the baffle is the same as the size of the heat dissipation vent.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that: two sliding grooves are provided inside the chassis body, the two sliding grooves are respectively installed on the top and bottom of the chassis body, a roller adapted to the sliding groove is installed on the side surface of the baffle near the sliding groove, and the baffle is slidably connected to the sliding groove through the roller; both ends of the heat dissipation assembly are respectively connected to the two sliding grooves by screws.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that an extension portion is integrally provided on one of the long sides of the baffle, and the extension portion is connected to the side plate of the chassis body by screws.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that an installation strip is fixedly connected to the side surface of the baffle near the slide groove, the installation strip is arranged parallel to the slide groove, and two rollers are rotatably connected to each installation strip, with the two rollers being equidistant.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the heat dissipation assembly includes a mounting bracket, which is connected to the two sliding grooves by screws, and a plurality of fans are mounted on the mounting bracket, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that a dust cover is detachably connected to the mounting bracket, and the dust cover is placed over the fan.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that both the mounting bracket and the dust cover are provided with ear plates, wherein the ear plates on the mounting bracket are provided with insert plates, and the ear plates on the dust cover are provided with sockets adapted to the insert plates, and the mounting bracket and the dust cover are connected by insert plates and sockets.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] By removably installing cooling components on the chassis, the number of fans operating on the chassis can be adjusted. This means that there is no need to increase the number of fans inside the chassis. When the computer is running for a long time or at a high frequency, the cooling components installed on the outer wall of the chassis can improve the heat dissipation efficiency inside the chassis. This not only does not take up internal space, but also allows the components to be removed at any time when high-intensity cooling is not required, avoiding unnecessary fan operation and further reducing power consumption and noise.

[0026] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] This utility model proposes an externally heat-dissipating chassis, including a chassis body 1. A heat dissipation vent 11 is provided on one side surface of the chassis body 1, located in the center of the surface. A heat dissipation component 2 is detachably connected to the chassis body 1 corresponding to the heat dissipation vent 11. The heat dissipation component 2 can dissipate heat from the interior of the chassis body 1 through the heat dissipation vent 11, further improving the heat dissipation effect inside the chassis body 1. A ventilation hole 12 is provided on the side surface of the chassis body 1 opposite to the heat dissipation component 2, positioned directly opposite the heat dissipation component 2 to facilitate airflow within the chassis, further accelerating the airflow speed inside the chassis body 1.
[0028] A baffle 3 is slidably connected to one side surface of the chassis body 1 where the heat dissipation component 2 is installed. The baffle 3 is located inside the chassis body 1, and the size of the baffle 3 is the same as the size of the heat dissipation vent 11. The sliding baffle 3 can cover or open the heat dissipation vent 11.
[0029] Two sliding grooves 13 are fixedly connected inside the chassis body 1. The two sliding grooves 13 are respectively set at the top and bottom of the chassis. A mounting strip 32 is welded to the side surface of the baffle 3 near the sliding groove 13. The mounting strip 32 is set parallel to the sliding groove 13. There are two mounting strips 32, each corresponding to the two sliding grooves 13. Two rollers 321 are rotatably connected to each mounting strip 32. The two rollers 321 are equidistantly set at both ends of the mounting strip 32. The rollers 321 are adapted to the sliding groove 13, that is, the rollers 321 can be placed in the sliding groove 13 to achieve rolling in the sliding groove 13. In turn, the mounting strip 32 drives the baffle 3 to slide along the direction of the sliding groove 13.
[0030] An extension portion 31 is integrally formed on one long side of the baffle 3. The extension portion 31 is connected to the side plate of the chassis body 1 by screws. Specifically, a through hole is opened on the side plate of the chassis body 1, and a threaded hole is opened on the extension portion 31. The screw is threaded through the through hole and into the threaded hole on the extension portion 31, thus fixing the baffle 3. When the screws are removed, the baffle 3 can slide along the slide groove 13. It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the baffle 3 and the chassis body 1, two threaded holes are opened on the extension portion 31.
[0031] Both ends of the heat dissipation component 2 are respectively connected to the bottom of the two sliding grooves 13 by screws. The heat dissipation component 2 includes a rectangular mounting bracket, the size of which is the same as the size of the heat dissipation port 11. The mounting bracket is connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 13 by screws, that is, the mounting bracket has a through hole, and the bottom of the sliding groove 13 has a threaded connection. By using screws to pass through the through hole and threaded hole, the mounting bracket and the sliding groove 13 can be connected together, and the mounting bracket can be removed by removing the screws.
[0032] Three fans 22 are mounted on the mounting bracket by screws, arranged from top to bottom. A battery assembly 25 is also mounted on the mounting bracket. The battery assembly 25 is electrically connected to the fans 22 to power the fans 22. It should be noted that this application uses the mounting bracket to install the battery assembly 25 as an example. The power supply of the fans 22 can also be connected to the chassis body 1 via a USB power cable for power supply.
[0033] When the fan 22 rotates, it can drive the airflow from the heat dissipation port 11 into the chassis body 1 and blow it out through the ventilation hole 12. When the airflow passes through the chassis body 1, it can absorb the heat inside the chassis and carry it out, further realizing the heat dissipation effect inside the chassis body 1.
[0034] A dust cover 23 can also be detachably connected to the mounting bracket. The dust cover 23 covers the fan 22 and can block dust, preventing dust from being blown into the chassis body 1.
[0035] Ear plates 24 are welded to both long rods of the mounting frame, with two ear plates 24 welded to each rod. Ear plates 24 are also welded to the dust cover 23, and their arrangement corresponds to those on the mounting frame. The ear plates 24 on the mounting frame have an integrated insert plate 241, while the ear plates 24 on the dust cover 23 have an integrated slot 242. The dust cover 23 is mounted to the mounting frame through the cooperation of the insert plate 241 and the slot 242, further enabling the dust cover 23 to be detachable. This means that when excessive dust accumulates on the dust cover 23, it can be removed for cleaning.
[0036] When a computer is running at high frequency, the internal modules operate at high frequencies, resulting in greater heat generation and higher internal temperatures. The cooling fan 22 inside the chassis 1 alone is insufficient to meet the cooling requirements. Therefore, the cooling component 2 can be installed on the chassis 1 to also dissipate heat from inside the chassis 1, further improving the cooling effect.
[0037] When the computer is running at a low frequency, the internal modules operate at a lower frequency, resulting in less heat generation and a lower internal temperature. The cooling fan 22 inside the chassis 1 is sufficient to maintain the cooling requirements. In this case, the cooling component 2 can be manually turned off, the power supply can be cut off, or it can be removed, the baffle 3 can be slid to the heat dissipation vent 11 and fixed in place to prevent dust from entering the chassis 1 when the cooling component 2 is installed.
[0038] In summary, this utility model, by detachably installing the heat dissipation component 2 on the chassis, can achieve the purpose of adjusting the number of fans 22 operating on the chassis. That is, it is not necessary to increase the number of fans 22 inside the chassis. Only when the computer runs for a long time or at a high frequency, the heat dissipation component 2 can be installed on the outer wall of the chassis to improve the heat dissipation efficiency inside the chassis. This not only does not occupy the internal space of the chassis, but also allows the component to be removed at any time when a high-intensity heat dissipation effect is not required, avoiding unnecessary operation of the fans 22, and further avoiding power consumption and excessive noise.
