Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power supply fan according to the preamble of
- Power supply fans are known per se. These are typically designed to be mounted either inside or outside a power supply enclosure and to cool it during operation of the power supply by supplying airflow.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a power supply fan that eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- a power supply fan By using a power supply fan according to the invention not only the power supply itself is cooled by an air flow, but also the power supply adjacent electronic components.
- the installation of such a power supply fan requires only a slightly increased space requirement.
- the cost of purchasing and installing a further cooling unit for cooling of the power supply adjacent electronic components can be saved.
- the power supply fan can be easily attached to the power supply housing so that the outgoing from the power supply fan airflow flows both into the interior of the power supply housing and in areas in which the webs on the Power supply housing stretched out.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a arranged over a motherboard
- FIG. 2 shows a front view of a power supply unit with a power supply fan according to the invention arranged above a main circuit board,
- FIG. 4 shows a side view of a power supply fan arranged according to the invention over a main circuit board
- FIG. 5 shows a top view of a power supply fan arranged above a main circuit board
- top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc. refer exclusively to the example representation and position of the power supply fan and others selected in the respective figures
- Figures 1 to 5 show the arrangement of the power supply fan on the power supply and a motherboard 6 of the computer from different perspectives.
- FIG. 1 shows a power supply 4, which is arranged above a mainboard 6.
- the power supply 4 is surrounded on all sides with a power supply housing 5.
- Front of the power supply housing is a power supply fan 1 mounted.
- the attachment of the power supply fan 1 to the power supply housing 5 is preferably carried out by screwing with screws, which are inserted through holes 10 at the corners of the fan housing 2 and screwed into corresponding threaded holes in the power supply housing 5.
- the power supply fan 1 is dimensioned to extend beyond at least one edge of the surface to which the power supply fan is attached. This ensures that both the interior of the power supply housing 5 and the power supply 4 adjacent electronic components 7 are acted upon by an outgoing from the power supply fan 1 air flow.
- the active surface of the power supply fan preferably extends over an edge of the power supply, which faces the electronic components 7 below the power supply 1.
- the power supply fan extends beyond both the bottom edge of the power supply's face and beyond one of the side edges of the power supply so that the airflow coming from the power supply fan is not only below the power supply Power supply lying electronic components 7 reached, but also an area inside a computer case, which is located next to the power supply at the level of the power supply body above the base plate of the computer.
- the power supply housing 5 is formed so that it has at least one web 8 on the end face to which the power supply fan 1 is attached, which extends over the end face of
- Power supply housing extends beyond. In this way, the power supply fan can be attached only to the thus formed power supply housing.
- the power supply housing 5 has two webs 8 on the front side of the power supply housing to which the power supply fan is attached.
- the mainboard 6 of the computer has fixing means for fixing the power supply fan, so that the power supply fan is partially fixed to the fixing device on the motherboard 6 of the computer and partly attached to the power supply case 5.
