Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing of an electrical device, in particular a computer.
  • a commercially available computer housing usually has two side walls that are parallel to each other, a front and rear wall and a bottom and top wall.
  • Cooling devices are used for cooling, which are arranged within the computer housing.
  • a fan draws colder ambient air into the housing and blows this air in the direction of the microprocessor. So that a sufficiently large air flow into the Can penetrate the housing, openings are usually arranged on the rear wall of the housing through which air flows into the interior of the housing. It is disadvantageous that noises from the fan reach the outside, which the user of such a computer finds annoying. Another disadvantage is that dirt is often sucked into the housing.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a housing with which the problems described are reduced.
  • the housing of an electrical device in particular a computer, has at least one housing wall with a recess facing the interior of the housing.
  • the depression is formed with at least one ventilation opening.
  • a cover at least in the area of the ventilation opening. The use of a cover on the ventilation opening means that less noise can escape and less dirt can get inside.
  • the cover also has a protective function. The risk of foreign bodies entering the interior of the computer through the openings can be largely eliminated.
  • the wall and cover can form a substantially flush surface. This ensures that the recess and opening arranged in the housing are almost invisible from the outside. Such an embodiment improves the aesthetic appearance of the housing wall.
  • the cover can more or less completely cover the bead-like wall area, depending on whether or at what distance to the wall the cover extends. Bleed cover and housing wall aligned with each other or only parallel to each other by a few millimeters, a circumferential gap can be formed between the two parts, via which an air exchange takes place, unless the cover is already air-permeable.
  • the cover protrudes over the housing wall, it can also be slightly larger than the recess behind it.
  • the air intake for example of a fan adjoining the openings of the depression, takes place via the annular gap running between the wall and the cover. It is important to ensure that the distance between the cover and the housing wall is large enough to provide the required airflow for cooling.
  • the cover is releasably attached to the depression. Screw or clamp connections are conceivable here.
  • the cover prefferably has at least one web which can be inserted into a corresponding fastening opening in the depression.
  • the web can be formed, for example, at its outer end with a locking lug which snaps into the fastening opening and thus represents a reliable fastening of the cover, which can be made of plastic, for example.
  • the cover is permeable to air.
  • air not only enters the interior of the housing through the slot but also through the cover.
  • the cover can be an air filter.
  • a filter is advantageous so that the interior of the housing is not burdened with dust particles that are in the ambient air, which can impair the function of the electrical components to be arranged in front of the opening.
  • glass fiber, cellulose, paper and a mixture of these can be used as filter material.
  • the cover can be used as an advertising medium.
  • Various information can be attached to the surface of the cover, for example the manufacturer's name or the type of computer, etc., which are thus clearly visible to the outside.
  • Another advantage is that the covers can be quickly replaced without much effort.
  • a component to be cooled can be arranged on the side wall opposite the depression. This results in a direct air flow over a short distance from one side of the housing to the opposite side, where the component to be cooled is attached.
  • the linear flow does not significantly increase the temperature of the intake air inside the housing, which significantly increases the cooling capacity.
  • Figure 1 a plan view of an embodiment of the housing according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 a sectional view along the section line II-II according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 and Figure 2 show a housing wall 1, which is formed with a bead-shaped recess 2.
  • the housing wall 1 has a plurality of ventilation openings 3 in the region of its recess 2, as a result of which an air exchange between the interior of the computer 8 and the surroundings 9 can be achieved.
  • the recess 2 is covered to the outside 9 by a cover 4.
  • the cover 4 has two webs 6, which run perpendicular to the surface of the cover 4. The ends of the webs 6 engage in corresponding fastening openings 7 in the depression 2, where they are reliably connected to the housing wall 1 by means of a snap-in connection.
  • the recess 2 has a circular shape in plan view, to which the shape of the cover 4 is adapted.
  • the surface of the housing wall 1 and the cover 4 extend on a plane so that they form a substantially flush • "total surface area”. Between the outer edge of the cover 4 and the adjacent housing wall 1 there is a circumferential slot 5.
