  • Publication number: 20140008039
    Abstract: A liquid-cooling heat dissipation apparatus for electronic elements comprises an air fan and a liquid-cooling heat dissipation module. The air fan includes a frame and a vane installed on the frame to provide cooling airflow. The liquid-cooling heat dissipation module includes a liquid delivery duct, a liquid return duct, a heat collection element connected to the liquid delivery duct and liquid return duct and coupled with an electronic element to absorb heat, a heat dissipation element to receive the heat from the heat collection element through the liquid return duct and receive the cooling airflow to lower the heat, and a liquid delivery element to provide kinetic energy to drive circulation of the heat from the liquid delivery duct to the liquid return duct. The heat dissipation element and liquid delivery element form a housing space to hold the vane of the air fan.

  • Patent number: 8130491
    Abstract: A computer equipped with a fan rack aims to facilitate disassembly and assembly of hard disks. The computer includes a casing, a panel located at the front side of the casing and a plurality of side panels on various sides of the casing. The casing has a hard disk installation section. The panel has a hard disk replacing opening corresponding to the hard disk installation section. The panel hinges at least one fan rack corresponding to the hard disk installation section. The fan rack holds at least one fan. The fan provides cooling airflow to the hard disk installed on the hard disk installation section. The fan rack can be opened or closed by pivoting so that the hard disk can be plugged, unplugged or displaced without relying on any tools.

  • Patent number: 8035962
    Abstract: A computer hot-plug structure allows a hard disk to be connected to a computer in a hot-plug fashion. The computer has a casing and a plurality of side panels surrounding various sides of the casing. Each side panel has a thread-hole and a hood covering the thread-hole. The hood has a top portion and two flanks at two ends of the top portion to form a housing space for plugging and unplugging of the hard disk. The housing space has one end formed an insertion slot to receive the hard disk and a hot-plug connector at another end. The hot-plug connector has a first connection port connected to the hard disk and a second connection port electrically connected to the computer through a transmission line passing through the thread-hole. Thus the hard disk is held on the outer side of the computer to save the interior space of the computer.

  • Patent number: 8027167
    Abstract: The case cable management has a shell, a circuit board, multiple sockets and a cover. The shell has a bottom board and a sidewall. The circuit board is attached securely to the bottom board of the shell. The sockets are mounted through the sidewall of the shell and have multiple terminals connected securely to the circuit board. The cover covers the shell. Multiple power lines are mounted through the sidewall of the shell to connect the circuit board and sockets to a power supply and cables from computer apparatuses are connected to the sockets to receive electric power. Different cables can be distinguished clearly and conveniently for simplified cable routing to avoid confusion and facilitate replacement.
