  • Patent number: 8072755
    Abstract: An active heat-dissipating mechanism includes a fan module, an airflow-guiding part and an airflow shunt part. The fan module includes an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. The airflow-guiding part is disposed at the same side of the airflow outlet of the fan module and in communication with the fan module. An airflow channel is defined by the airflow-guiding part. An airflow inhaled by the fan module is guided to a hotspot region of the electronic device through the airflow channel so as to remove the heat generated from the hotspot region. The airflow shunt part is formed on the airflow-guiding part. The airflow shunt part defines a stopping block in the airflow channel. A portion of the airflow is hindered by the stopping block and guided into a sub-hotspot region of the electronic device so as to remove the heat generated from the sub-hotspot region.

  • Patent number: 7510409
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a casing, a plug, a fixing plate, a circuit board and a first retaining part. The casing has a support member and multiple perforations. The plug has a rotating shaft and multiple pins. The pins are mounted on the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is pivotally supported on the support member such that the pins are rotatable with respect to the rotating shaft. The pins are substantially perpendicular to the casing when the pins are rotated to a first position. The pins are received in the perforations when the pins are rotated to a second position. The fixing plate is disposed on the support member. The circuit board includes multiple contact elements corresponding to the pins. The first retaining part is engaged with or sustained against an engaging part of the rotating shaft, thereby positioning the pins of the plug in the first position.

  • Patent number: 7106586
    Abstract: A heat dissipating system provides a fast heat dissipating airflow stream inside a desktop computer and thereby greatly enhances the heat dissipating efficiency of the desktop computer. The computer heat dissipating system includes a computer chassis which has a circular opening bored on its front plate, a motherboard which has a thermal module including a front cooling fan and a set of chipsets heatsink module installed on its top surface, and a power supply with a cooling fan. The thermal module, the chipsets heatsink module, and the power supply are aligned along a single heat dissipating airflow stream. The external low temperature air first passes through the thermal module and removes the heat generated by the central processing unit, further flows into the chipsets heatsink module and removes the heat generated by the MCH chipsets and ICH chipsets, and finally enters into the power supply and removes the heat generated by the power supply.
