The power consumed by devices such as CPUs has increased significantly, and computers with additional fans installed on the front panel are required.

  However, the fan generates noise in its operation and this noise reaches the user directly without any protective measures. By being in such a noisy environment for a long time, not only is the user's hearing damaged by noise, but the user's mood may be affected.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, a main object of the present invention is to provide a computer case with a heat dissipation function, which includes a heat dissipation gate that exhausts heat generated in a computer case automatically and efficiently to the outside of the computer case. It is in.

  A computer case with a heat dissipation function according to the present invention includes a main body and a heat dissipation gate, and the main body includes one or more openings and two support portions formed on both sides of the opening. Is installed between two support parts, each of which is pivotally supported by a shaft part so as to be pivotable to the support part, a transmission device for simultaneously rotating the rotary blades, and driving the transmission device Consists of a motor.

  With the above-described configuration, the opening of the opening can be controlled by the rotor blades of the heat dissipation gate to efficiently release the heat in the computer case to the outside of the computer case according to various heat dissipation needs of the computer. .

  In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the computer case with a heat radiation function of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a computer case 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The computer case 1 includes a main body 2 and a heat dissipation gate 3. The front panel 2 a of the main body 2 includes a rectangular opening 20, and support portions 21 are provided on both sides of the opening 20.

  Further, the heat dissipation gate 3 includes a plurality of rotor blades 30, a transmission device 31, and a motor 32. Each rotary blade 30 includes a shaft portion 300, and is supported on the support portions 21 on both sides of the opening 20 by the shaft portion 300. Thereby, the rotary blade 30 can be rotated with the shaft portion 300 as a fulcrum. The transmission 31 is preferably a belt-type transmission that does not generate noise during operation. The transmission device 31 is used to transmit power for simultaneously rotating the rotary blades 30 and includes a main driving wheel 310 provided on the motor 32 side, a plurality of passive wheels 311, and a plurality of belts 312. The The main driving wheel 310 is installed on the output shaft 321 of the motor 32, and each passive wheel 311 is installed corresponding to the shaft portion 300 of each rotary blade 30. Further, the main driving wheel 310 and the passive wheel 311 are connected to each other by the belt 312 so that the main driving wheel 310 and the passive wheel 311 can operate simultaneously. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, one of the belts 312 is wound around one of the main driving wheel 310 and the passive wheel 311, and another belt 312 is attached to each passive wheel 311 and its adjacent passive wheel 311. Each is wrapped.

  The motor 32 is used to drive the transmission device 31 based on the internal temperature of the main body 2. When the motor 32 is turned on, the rotary blade 30 is simultaneously rotated by the transmission device 31 via the output shaft 321, the main driving wheel 310, the passive wheel 311, and the belt 312. Thereby, the opening degree (open state or opening ratio) of the opening part 20 is determined by the rotation angle of the rotary blade 30. That is, the heat dissipation gate 3 determines the opening degree of the opening 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a fan 33 installed inside the support portion 21. When each rotor blade 30 is rotated by power from the motor 32 to form the opening 20 in a constant open state, the fan 33 operates to form an air flow in the main body 2. On the other hand, when each rotor blade 30 is rotated in order to make the open state of the opening 20 the closed state, the fan 33 stops. Thereby, as long as the heat dissipation control function is installed in the computer host, the rotation of the motor 32 in the forward and reverse directions can be controlled based on the internal temperature of the main body 2. That is, the opening degree of the heat dissipation gate 3 is determined by the internal temperature of the main body 2. When the temperature inside the main body 2 becomes high, the heat dissipation gate 3 is controlled to be largely opened or fully opened, and heat can be quickly discharged. On the contrary, when the temperature inside the main body 2 becomes low, the heat radiation gate 3 is controlled to be small open or closed, and the noise of the fan 33 can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the rotating blade 30 is rotated by driving the motor 32 with respect to the detection result of the internal temperature of the main body 2. The driving of the motor 32 is interlocked with the driving of the fan 33. You may comprise. For example, since the fan 33 is normally driven by the internal temperature in the main body 2, the motor 32 is controlled to be driven as the fan 33 is driven, and the rotary blade 30 is rotated. With this configuration, it can be easily applied to a computer or the like provided with a heat dissipation function by the existing fan 33. Furthermore, if the output of the motor 32 is controlled according to the drive output of the fan 33, the opening state of the opening 20 according to the internal temperature in the main body 2 can be made suitable, and the rotation of the rotor blade 30 for noise prevention can be achieved. Dynamic control is further simplified.

  FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is provided with two openings 20 and two heat dissipation gates 3 as compared with the first embodiment. Specifically, in the second embodiment, one opening 20 is provided at a position facing each other, and the heat dissipation gate 3 is installed in each of these two openings 20. Further, one of the heat radiating gates 3 is used to introduce external air into the inside of the computer case 1, and the heat radiating gate 3 on the opposite side is used to discharge the heat inside the computer case 1. Used. For this reason, the heat in the computer casing 1 is effectively exhausted from the heat dissipation gate 3, and the air in the computer casing 1 is circulated.

  FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. Example 3 is an embodiment in which the frame 34 is provided on the heat dissipation gate 3 in Example 1 described above. The frame 34 is used for incorporation into the opening 20 and for connection to the fan 3. The frame body 34 includes two support portions 340 provided on opposite sides thereof, and one support portion 340 and another support portion 340 are provided so as to face each other. The shaft portion 300 of the rotor blade 30 is connected to the support portion 340, and the rotor blade 30 can be rotated between the support portions 340.

  In the foregoing, numerous features and advantages have been described, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, and the novel features of the invention are set forth in the appended claims, which are illustrative only and the invention is not limited. In particular, details such as shape and size, arrangement of members, materials and combinations thereof may be varied to the fullest extent permitted by the appended claims.

  Further, in each of the embodiments described above, all of the plurality of rotor blades 30 are simultaneously rotated. For example, only two rotor blades 30 of the four rotor blades 30 are rotated according to the internal temperature of the main body 2. It is also possible to control the degree of opening of the opening 20. With this configuration, the output load of the motor 32 can be reduced, and the power consumption and noise of the motor 32 can be reduced.

  For example, the passive wheel 311 is configured so that two upper and lower rotor blades 30 among the four rotor blades 30 shown in FIG. 1 are simultaneously rotated by the first driving force from the motor 32 according to the internal temperature in the main body 2. When the belt 312 is configured and the internal temperature is in a high temperature state, when the second driving force larger than the first driving force is output from the motor 32, the passive wheels 311 of the remaining two rotor blades 30 are used. The passive wheel 311 and the belt 312 are configured so that the second driving force is transmitted to the vehicle. Specifically, the transmission device 31 is provided with a gear mechanism including gears, bearings, and the like, and the passive wheel 111 rotated by the first driving force has a certain amount of rotation (passive when the rotary blade 30 is opened). When the rotation amount of the wheel 111 is reached, the passive wheels corresponding to the remaining two rotary blades 30 are configured to rotate in accordance with the second driving force from the motor 32.
