  • Patent number: 10520995
    Abstract: A portable electronic module includes a casing having an air inlet, a heat generating member disposed in the casing, and a heat dissipating mechanism. The heat dissipating mechanism includes a fixing frame disposed at the casing corresponding to the air inlet, a driving handle, a driving device for driving the driving handle to move reciprocally, and a plurality of fans. The driving handle is disposed at a side of the fixing frame and has a plurality of holes arranged alternately. The fans are pivotally connected to the fixing frame in an alternate arrangement so as to swing relative to the fixing frame. Each fan has a protruding pillar extending toward the corresponding hole. Each protruding pillar is movably disposed through the corresponding hole, so that each fan could swing with reciprocation of the driving handle to guide airflow to pass through the air inlet to the heat generating member.

  • Patent number: 10408230
    Abstract: A noise suppression apparatus and a fan module using the same are provided. The noise suppression apparatus includes a resonator, a status indication unit, and a first thermoelectric component. The resonator is disposed on a sound transmission tube of a noise generation source, and includes a chamber and a clapboard disposed in the chamber. The status indication unit generates a control signal according to an operational status of the noise generation source. The first thermoelectric component is disposed in the resonator, and has a first terminal fixed on a sidewall of the chamber and a second terminal connected to the clapboard. The first thermoelectric component deforms in response to the control signal as the operational status of the noise generation source changes, so as to move the clapboard to change resonance volume of the resonator, and thus resonance frequency of the resonator approaches noise frequency of the noise generation source.
