Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer chassis, and in particular to a transparent chassis with a crossflow fan. Background Technology

[0002] A computer case typically includes the outer shell, bracket, and various switches and indicator lights on the front panel. As a component of a computer, its main function is to house and secure the various computer components, providing support and protection. Furthermore, the computer case plays a crucial role in shielding electromagnetic radiation.

[0003] In existing chassis designs, to achieve a better aesthetic appearance, the top and side panels are made of transparent materials. There are also structures where the front panel is made of transparent materials as well, thus achieving three-sided visibility and effectively improving the aesthetics of the design.

[0004] However, this design can easily lead to vertical convection obstruction, which in turn affects the heat dissipation of electronic components inside the chassis. Existing methods use air vents on non-transparent side panels, bottom panels, and rear panels to improve fluid flow efficiency.

[0005] However, in practice, this design has a low upper limit. When the fluid volume exchange efficiency inside the chassis reaches a predetermined value, its heat exchange efficiency reaches its peak. When the temperature inside the chassis is constant at a certain value, after a period of heat accumulation effect, its temperature will slowly rise, thus affecting the heat dissipation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a transparent enclosure with a crossflow fan, which aims to improve the existing enclosure structure and install a crossflow fan to increase the air intake volume and, at the same time, increase its radiation range, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency inside the enclosure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a transparent enclosure with a crossflow fan, comprising:

[0008] The box body is a shell with an internal cavity for receiving the contents.

[0009] The front plate, first side plate, and top plate of the housing are partially or entirely transparent.

[0010] The base frame is located inside the housing;

[0011] A crossflow fan, located on the base frame, is equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet.

[0012] The horizontal fan is located on one side of the first side plate, and the air inlet is located on the bottom plate and / or the first side plate.

[0013] The air outlet is vertically arranged and distributed along the length of the receiving cavity;

[0014] The enclosure is equipped with heat dissipation vents.

[0015] In practical design, crossflow fans are placed inside the enclosure to increase airflow and effectively improve heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, even if convection cannot be achieved at the location of the transparent panel, heat dissipation can be effectively improved through multiple vents in the enclosure. This heat dissipation can be passive (by setting up vents) or by installing multiple axial fans at the vents to further enhance fluid exchange efficiency.

[0016] The air volume of the crossflow fan is equivalent to the air volume of multiple axial fans, thus effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the fluid.

[0017] In addition, the crossflow fan can effectively maintain the aesthetics of the existing chassis, while also reducing the vibration of the crossflow fan and making installation more convenient.

[0018] Crossflow fans can increase the volume of fluid, but their flow rate is not as fast as that of axial fans. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a transparent enclosure with a crossflow fan includes:

[0034] Box 1, wherein box 1 is a shell with an internal cavity 10.

[0035] The front plate 21, the first side plate 23, and the top plate 26 of the housing are partially or entirely transparent.

[0036] Base frame 11, which is disposed inside the housing 1;

[0037] A crossflow fan is installed at the base frame 11 (it can be installed adjacent to the base frame or inside the base frame for easy installation). The crossflow fan has an air inlet 501 and an air outlet 502.

[0038] A transverse fan is located on one side of the first side plate 23, and the air inlet is located on the bottom plate 25 and / or the first side plate 23.

[0039] The air outlet is vertically arranged and distributed along the length of the receiving cavity 10;

[0040] The housing 1 is equipped with heat dissipation vents.

[0041] In the actual design, the crossflow fan is placed inside the housing 1 to increase the air intake volume, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, even if convection cannot be achieved at the location of the transparent plate, the heat dissipation effect can be effectively improved through the multiple heat dissipation vents of the housing 1. This heat dissipation can be passive (by setting up heat dissipation vents) or multiple axial flow fans 40 can be installed at the heat dissipation vents to further improve fluid exchange efficiency.

[0042] The air volume of the crossflow fan is equivalent to the air volume of multiple axial flow fans 40, thus effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the fluid.

[0043] In addition, the crossflow fan 5 can effectively maintain the aesthetics of the existing chassis, while also reducing the vibration of the crossflow fan and making installation more convenient.

[0044] Crossflow fans can increase the volume of fluid, but their flow rate is not as fast as that of axial fans 40.

[0045] Specifically, the air inlet is located between the base plate 25 and the first side plate 23. The lower part of the first side plate 23 is the side frame 3, and the air inlet is located at the position of the side frame 3.

[0046] In this embodiment of the utility model, the air inlet is recessed in the side frame 3 and is inclined, which can ensure the air volume and avoid the air inlet being exposed and affecting the aesthetics of the chassis. At the same time, the inclined air inlet can also serve as a handle for the chassis, making it convenient to move.

[0047] Specifically, the air outlet is inclined, wherein the inclination in this application is relative to the horizontal plane;

[0048] The angled air outlet can guide the flow of fluid. In specific designs, the air outlet can also be positioned opposite heat-generating components such as graphics cards to achieve a direct blowing effect.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the top plate includes a top support 30 and a transparent top plate 26 disposed between the top and bottom plates, the transparent top plate 26 extending to the first side plate 23.

[0050] The first side panel 23 and the transparent top panel 26 extend in an arc shape, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the chassis.

[0051] Specifically, the crossflow fan 5 includes a housing 51 and an impeller pivotally mounted within the housing 51. The impeller extends along the length of the housing 51, and any end of the impeller is connected to a rotary motor.

[0052] The impeller includes two spaced positioning parts and a plurality of blades 52 disposed between the positioning parts. The blades 52 are distributed circumferentially along the positioning parts, so the angle between the air inlet and the air outlet of the crossflow fan 5 is approximately 90 degrees.

[0053] In this embodiment of the utility model, a clearance groove 6 is provided between the base frame 11 and the first side plate 23, and the housing 51 is located in the clearance groove, which facilitates installation and fixation, and also ensures the integrated design of the chassis.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 51 is inclined at the air outlet, which can increase the area of ​​the air outlet and guide the fluid.

[0055] In this embodiment of the utility model, the top bracket 30 is provided with a first heat dissipation vent 41; the second side plate 24 and the rear plate 22 of the chassis are respectively provided with a second heat dissipation vent 42 and a third heat dissipation vent 43.

[0056] Specifically, the heat dissipation vent is equipped with an axial flow fan to achieve active heat dissipation.
