Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides a chassis, and more particularly a negative ion chassis capable of generating negative ions for purifying air. Background Technology

[0002] An existing type of computer case, such as a desktop computer case, is used to house electronic components such as power supplies, motherboards including processors and memory, and storage hard drives. These components generate heat when the computer is started, so the case is usually equipped with fans to provide airflow so that the hot air inside the case can exchange heat with the outside air. Utility Model Content

[0003] However, if the environment where the chassis is located has poor air quality, the fans installed on existing chassis can only provide heat dissipation for the aforementioned components and have a limited function, failing to improve the air quality inside and outside the chassis. Therefore, how to solve the above problems is the main focus of this utility model.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the inventor devoted his mind and effort to research and development, and then developed a negative ion enclosure, so that when the enclosure's fan provides airflow, negative ions can also circulate inside and outside the enclosure with the airflow.

[0005] This utility model provides a negative ion generator enclosure for housing components of electronic devices, comprising: a enclosure having an internal space for housing the components, and the enclosure having an air inlet and an air outlet respectively communicating with the internal space; a housing fan mounted on the enclosure; a negative ion generator disposed on the air outlet; and a control component disposed on the enclosure, the control component being electrically connected to the housing fan and the negative ion generator, the control component controlling the housing fan to operate to generate airflow entering the internal space through the air inlet and exiting the enclosure through the air outlet, and the control component controlling the negative ion generator to generate negative ions that diffuse outside the enclosure with the airflow.

[0006] In one embodiment, the exhaust fan is located at the top of the housing, and the housing fan is installed in the exhaust fan to generate airflow that is discharged upwards from the housing. The negative ion generator is located on the housing fan at a position through which the airflow can pass, and the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator diffuse directly upwards from the housing along with the airflow.

[0007] In one embodiment, the negative ion generator is either a probe type or a carbon brush type.

[0008] In one embodiment, an air quality monitoring module is further disposed in the enclosure. The air quality monitoring module is electrically connected to the control component and includes at least one sensor. The at least one sensor senses air quality data at the location of the enclosure, and the control component accesses the data and performs a judgment on the air quality.

[0009] In one embodiment, the air quality monitoring module further includes a display interface, which is located in the housing and displays externally. The control component displays the corresponding result on the display interface based on the judgment of air quality.

[0010] In one embodiment, the display interface is a digital display interface or an RGB light strip.

[0011] In one embodiment, the device further includes a remote controller electrically connected to the control component, the remote controller being capable of controlling the negative ion generator to start or stop generating negative ions.

[0012] In one embodiment, the remote control is further capable of controlling the rotational speed of the casing fan and setting the color of the display interface.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sensor is a dust sensor, and the sensor is installed inside a housing, and the sensor has an opening that allows the sensed airflow to enter and exit.

[0014] In one embodiment, the housing fan includes a fan frame, a motor, and fan blades. The fan blades are rotatably connected to the fan frame via the motor. The negative ion generator disposed on the housing fan is fixed to the side of the fan frame. The housing fan is mounted on the exhaust section of the housing via the fan frame.

[0015] In one embodiment, the air inlet of the housing is provided with a functional filter, and the external air entering the internal space through the air inlet is first filtered by the functional filter.

[0016] In one embodiment, the functional filter is a bamboo charcoal filter.

[0017] In one embodiment, the motor is connected to a first wire, and the negative ion generator is connected to a second wire. The first wire is partially embedded in the fan frame, and a portion of the first wire protrudes outside the fan frame and is led out from a corner of the fan frame together with the second wire.

[0018] Therefore, the negative ion generator of this utility model can not only provide airflow through the casing fan, allowing outside air to enter the internal space of the casing from the air inlet, thereby carrying away the heat of the components and expelling it from the casing from the exhaust outlet, but also generate negative ions that diffuse outside the casing with the airflow, neutralizing the positive ions in the air and achieving the effect of purifying the air and making it fresh.

It is worth noting that the directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the utility model. Furthermore, in the following embodiments, the same or similar components will be referred to by the same or similar reference numerals.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a negative ion chassis 100 for housing components 200. These components 200 may include, but are not limited to, a power supply, a motherboard including a processor and memory, and electronic components such as a hard drive (not shown), which are assembled into a computer host using the negative ion chassis 100. The negative ion chassis 100 includes a chassis 10, a chassis fan 20, a negative ion generator 30, and a control component 40, wherein: The housing 10 has an internal space 11, and the housing 10 has an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13. The component 200 is disposed in the internal space 11 and fixed to the housing 10. The air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are respectively connected to the internal space 11, so that external air can circulate inside and outside the housing 10 through the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13.

[0030] In one embodiment, the housing 10 is as follows Figure 1 The box shown is rectangular, but this invention is not limited thereto; the box 10 may also be, for example, cylindrical.

[0031] The casing fan 20 is mounted in the housing 10, such as... Figure 1 , 2 In the embodiment shown, the housing 10 is provided with housing fans 20 on multiple sides, with three housing fans 20 on each side, and the housing 10 is also provided with three housing fans 20 on the top; and refer to Figure 2As shown, each of the casing fans 20 on the side of the housing 10 corresponds to an air inlet 12, and each of the casing fans 20 on the top of the housing 10 corresponds to an exhaust 13. Thus, when the casing fans 20 operate and generate airflow, outside air can be introduced into the internal space 11 through the air inlets 12, while the air originally in the internal space 11 is exhausted from the exhaust 13 to the top of the housing 10. This allows outside air to circulate within the internal space 11 and also prevents the air exhausted from the exhaust 13 from blowing directly onto people and causing discomfort.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing fan 20 includes a fan frame 21, a motor 22, and fan blades 23. The fan blades 23 are rotatably connected to the motor 22 via the fan frame 21. The housing fan 20 is mounted on the air inlet 12 or air outlet 13 of the housing 10 via the fan frame 21. In one embodiment, the motor 22 can be a brushed motor or a brushless motor; furthermore, the motor 22 can be a DC motor or an AC motor.

[0033] The negative ion generator 30 is located in the exhaust section 13. The negative ion generator 30 generates negative ions, which are then diffused upwards from the exhaust section 13 towards the top of the housing 10 by the airflow. In one embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the negative ion generator 30 is a probe-type (Carbon Needle) fixed to the side of the fan frame 21 and located where the airflow can pass. This allows the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator 30 to diffuse directly upwards towards the cabinet 10 with the airflow, avoiding the problem of a significant drop in negative ion concentration caused by placing the negative ion generator 30 in the corner of the casing fan 20 or against the frame wall of the fan frame 21 (the wall facing or away from the fan). Furthermore, since the negative ion generator 30 is not located in the center of the casing fan 20 where the motor 22 is located, it avoids interfering with the configuration of the motor 22 (including the printed circuit board and circuitry) in the fan frame, thereby achieving effective use of the space in the fan frame 21.

[0034] For example Figure 5 As shown, another embodiment of this utility model is illustrated, in which the negative ion generator 30 is a carbon brush type, also fixed to the fan frame 21 and located where the airflow can pass. The generated negative ions can also be diffused by the airflow from the exhaust section 13 to the top of the housing 10. Furthermore, the negative ion generator 30 of this utility model is not limited to probe type or carbon brush type; any device capable of generating negative ions falls within the scope of the negative ion generator of this utility model.

[0035] For example Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the motor 22 is connected to a first wire 221, and the negative ion generator 30 is connected to a second wire 31. The first wire 221 is partially embedded in the fan frame 21, and a portion of the first wire 221 protrudes outside the fan frame 21 and emerges from a corner of the fan frame 21 together with the second wire 31. This improves the efficient use of the space in the fan frame 21. Furthermore, the motor 22 and the negative ion generator 30 can share the same power supply (e.g., DC 12V), allowing the user to turn on the casing fan 20 and the negative ion generator 30 to start operation, or turn them off to stop operation. The turning on and off of the casing fan 20 and the negative ion generator 30 can be independent switches or a shared switch.

[0036] The control component 40, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it is located in the housing 10, and the control component 40 is as follows: Figure 3 The casing fan 20 and negative ion generator 30 are electrically connected. The control component 40 controls the casing fan 20 to generate airflow that enters the internal space 11 through the air inlet 12 and exits the casing 10 through the exhaust 13. The control component 40 also controls the negative ion generator 30 to generate negative ions that circulate inside and outside the casing 10 with the airflow. In one embodiment, the control component 40 may be integrated into the processor of the aforementioned component 200, or it may be a single-chip microcomputer separate from the processor of component 200 within the casing 10.

[0037] According to the above description, when component 200 starts operating inside housing 10, the aforementioned switch can be used to control component 40 to control the start and stop of housing fan 20. At this time, if... Figure 6 As shown, external air can be introduced into the internal space 11 through the air inlet 12, while the air in the internal space 11 is exhausted through the exhaust 13, so that the air circulates within the internal space 11 to dissipate heat from the components 200. When needed, for example, if the user feels that the air quality is poor, the user can operate the aforementioned switch, and the control component 40 will control the negative ion generator 30 to start generating negative ions NI. At this time, the negative ions NI will circulate in the cabinet 10 with the airflow, and will be exhausted from the exhaust 13 with the airflow and diffused around the outside of the cabinet 10. O2 is generated through negative ion technology by a high-voltage electric field. -2 It can effectively remove pollutants from the air, such as ammonia (NH3), organic matter (CHO), and carbonaceous substances, through O2. -2 It reacts with pollutants, oxidizing them to produce harmless N2, CO2 and H2O. As a result, dust, bacteria, viruses and other particles in the air, or even smoke and odors produced by smoking, can be adsorbed and settled by negative ions (NI), reducing the amount of these harmful substances suspended in the air, thereby purifying the air and improving air freshness.

[0038] In one embodiment, the negative ion generator box 100 of this utility model further includes an air quality monitoring module 50, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this air quality monitoring module 50 is also located in the housing 10, and as... Figure 3 As shown, the air quality monitoring module 50 includes at least one sensor 51, which is electrically connected to the control component 40. The at least one sensor 51 senses the air quality data at the location of the enclosure 10, and the control component 40 stores the data and performs a judgment on the air quality.

[0039] In one embodiment, the air quality monitoring module 50 can be integrated into the motherboard of the aforementioned component 200, or it can be a single chip containing a microprocessor disposed in a suitable location within the housing 10. Furthermore, the data includes at least one of the following: particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), temperature, and humidity. Therefore, the sensor 51 can be one or more sensors for the data to be sensed. In this embodiment, the sensor 51 is a dust sensor used to sense PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter. The sensor 51 can be installed inside or outside the housing 10, and its position is arranged to avoid the air inlet 12 and the exhaust 13. Figure 2 As shown, the sensor 51 is installed inside the housing 10, and the sensor 51 has an opening 511 to allow airflow to enter and exit, so as to achieve accurate sensing.

[0040] In one embodiment, the air quality monitoring module 50 further includes a display interface 52, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the display interface 52 is located on the enclosure 10 and is exposed to the outside. The control component 40 displays the corresponding results on the display interface 52 based on the air quality judgment performed by the air quality monitoring module 50. This display interface 52 is as follows: Figure 7 The image shows a digital display interface, which displays current air quality data, with PM2.5 data at 15 μg / m³. 3 The PM10 data was 30 μg / m³. 3 Furthermore, the display interface 52 is not limited to a digital display interface. Any display interface that can be installed on the housing 10 and displays air quality data externally, such as an RGB light strip, also falls within the scope of the display interface 52 of this utility model.

[0041] In one embodiment, the negative ion generator box 100 of this utility model, as... Figure 3As shown, the system further includes a remote control 60, which is a wireless remote control in this embodiment. The remote control 60 is electrically connected to the control component 40. The user can use the remote control 60 to start the negative ion generator 30 to generate negative ions, or to stop the operation of the negative ion generator 30, thus facilitating the operation of the negative ion generator 30. Furthermore, the remote control 60 can also control the speed of the casing fan 20, and when the display interface 52 is an RGB light bar, the remote control 60 can also set the color of the display interface 52. For example, it can set the display to red when the air quality is poor and to green when the air quality is good, allowing the user to control the start and stop of the negative ion generator 30, the speed of the casing fan 20, and the RGB color of the display interface 52 simultaneously through the remote control 60.

[0042] In one embodiment, each air inlet 12 of the housing 10 is provided with a functional filter 70 (and see below). Figure 2 As shown, outside air entering the interior space 11 through the air inlet 12 is first filtered by a functional filter 70, for example, to achieve dust removal and deodorization. In one embodiment, the functional filter 70 is a bamboo charcoal filter.

[0043] As can be easily seen from the above description, the features of this utility model are as follows: the negative ion generator box 100 of this utility model can not only provide airflow through the casing fan 20, allowing external air to enter the internal space 11 of the box 10 from the air inlet 12 and be discharged from the box 10 from the exhaust 13, thereby dissipating heat from the components 200 inside the box 10, but also, through the negative ion generator 30 installed in the exhaust 13 of the box 10, the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator 30 can diffuse outside the box 10 with the airflow, allowing the negative ions to disperse in the environment where the negative ion generator box 100 is located, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the air and making the air fresh.

[0044] Furthermore, the negative ion generator box 100 of this invention can be equipped with an air quality monitoring module 50, which monitors the air quality data of the environment in which the box 10 is located through a sensor 51, and displays the sensed data in real time through a display interface 52, thereby providing real-time visual feedback on air quality. Thus, the negative ion generator box 100 of this invention integrates the air quality monitoring by the sensor 51, the real-time data display on the display interface 52, and the air quality improvement by the negative ion generator 30, enhancing the intelligent air purification function.

[0045] In addition, the negative ion generator 100 of this utility model can be equipped with a remote control 60, which allows users to control the start and stop of the negative ion generator 30, the speed of the casing fan 20, and the RGB (when it is an RGB light bar) color of the display interface 52 through the remote control 60. With the multi-functional control of the remote control 60, the user can operate it conveniently and the user experience can be relatively improved.

[0046] Furthermore, the negative ion generator box 100 of this utility model can be equipped with a functional filter 70 in the air inlet 12 to remove dust / odor from the passing air, making the air purification effect more obvious.

[0047] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the patent scope of this utility model.
