Typically, an air purifier includes a suction fan to suck in air, a suction motor to drive the suction fan, a filter to filter polluted air, an exhaust fan to discharge purified air, and an exhaust motor to drive the exhaust fan. It has a relatively simple structure that includes.

Meanwhile, in today's computers, heat is generated from internal components such as the CPU and graphics card due to the increased processing speed. Accordingly, a separate cooling means was required to cool the temperature inside the computer, and as part of this demand, a computer case containing multiple coolers for air cooling emerged.

Meanwhile, the plurality of coolers provided in the computer case include coolers for sucking in cold air from the outside of the computer (hereinafter referred to as intake coolers) and coolers for discharging hot air inside the computer (hereinafter referred to as exhaust coolers). can do. Therefore, the present invention uses intake coolers and exhaust coolers provided in the computer case as an intake fan, a suction motor, an exhaust fan, and an exhaust motor, respectively, to purify the air outside the computer and suck it into the computer, and to use the purified air to enter the computer. By allowing the case to vent, it allows the computer case to lower its internal temperature while purifying the air around the computer.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing an example of a computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, Figure 1 shows an example of a computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a ventilation hole (hereinafter referred to as an intake hole) through which air flows into the computer is formed on the front.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be divided into areas (first area 131 and second area 132) with different vents through which air flows. In addition, it may include two layers 11 and 12 that cover the first area 131 and the second area 132, respectively, and overlap each other.

Meanwhile, in the case of the computer case 10 shown in FIG. 1, a vent (hereinafter referred to as an intake port) through which air is sucked is formed on the front, so among the two layers that overlap each other, the layer mounted on the inside with respect to the inside of the computer case Let it be called the first front part 11, and the layer that overlaps the first front part 11 and is mounted outside the first front part 11 is called the second front part 12. We decided to say that.

And the first front part 11 includes a first cooler part 101 formed to cover the first area 131 of the inlet and a blind 102 formed to cover the second area 132 of the inlet. It can be done, and the second front part 12 includes a filter part 201 covering the first area 131 of the inlet and at least one cooler covering the second area 132 of the inlet. It may include a second cooler unit 202.

As shown in FIG. 1, the filter part 201 of the second front part 12 overlaps on the first cooler part 101 of the first front part 11, and the filter part 201 of the first front part 11 The second front part 12 may be stacked on the first front part 11 so that the second cooler part 202 of the second front part 12 overlaps the blind 102. Therefore, based on the inside of the computer case, the first area 131 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 101 and the filter unit 201 stacked on the first cooler unit 101, and the first area 131 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 101 and the filter unit 201 stacked on the first cooler unit 101. The second area 132 may be covered by a blind 102 and a second cooler unit 202 stacked on the blind 102.

Here, the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 are coolers for air intake. Therefore, it may be a cooler in which the fan rotates in the direction of sucking air from the outside of the computer to the inside. Therefore, the specific side of the cooler facing the direction in which air is sucked is called the front of the cooler, and the specific side of the cooler facing the direction where air is discharged is called the back of the cooler. In this case, the front of the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 faces the outside of the computer, and the back of the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 faces the inside of the computer. It can be arranged to be oriented.

Here, the first cooler unit 101, the second cooler unit 202, and the blind 102 can be controlled by a control unit (not shown) provided in the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. there is. The control unit may be configured to be mounted separately in the form of computer hardware. As an example, the control unit may be card-shaped hardware that can be separately mounted in a bay formed in the computer case 10. Alternatively, the control unit may be a control unit of a main board mounted on the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, the control unit may be a CPU mounted on the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is an exemplary diagram showing the appearance of the first front part 11 including the first cooler part 101 and the blind according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Looking at the first front part 11 with reference to FIG. 2, the first front part 11 includes a first cooler part 101 that covers the first area 131 of the intake port and consists of at least one cooler, It may include a blind 102 formed to cover the second area 132 of the intake port. The blind 102 includes a plurality of slats that are rotatable, and as the plurality of slats rotate, the second area 132 of the inlet covered by the blind 102 is opened or Can be configured to close.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the structure and operation of the blind 102 shown in FIG. 2.

First, the blind 102 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a plurality of slats 300. Additionally, each slat 300 may be formed to be able to rotate at a predetermined angle around the rotation axis 310. Additionally, it may include an actuator or a small motor (not shown) that can rotate the plurality of slats at a predetermined angle by rotating the rotation axis of each of the plurality of slats at a predetermined angle.

As an example, the rotation shafts 310 may rotate the slats 310 using a worm gear method. In this case, the rotation axes 310 are worm wheels including at least one tooth, and the teeth of each rotation shaft 310 are located in a screw groove of a worm gear axis orthogonal to the rotation axes 310. Some of them may be formed to engage. Additionally, the actuator or small motor rotates the worm gear shaft in the first or second direction under the control of the control unit, so that each rotation shaft 310 rotates in a predetermined direction by a predetermined angle.

Meanwhile, Figure 3 (a) shows the blind 102 according to an embodiment of the present invention formed in this way in a closed state. As shown in (a) of FIG. 3, when each slat 300 is in a state of being engaged with each other, the second area 132 may be closed by each slat 300. In this case, the inflow of air through the second area 132 may be blocked.

In this state, if each slat 300 is rotated at a predetermined angle, that is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, each slat 300 may not engage with each other. In this case, gaps may be formed between the slats, and the inside and outside of the computer may be ventilated due to the gaps between the slats. In this case, when the inside and outside of the computer are ventilated through the second area 132, air from outside the computer may flow into the inside of the computer through the second area 132. That is, when the second area 132 is opened by opening the blind 102, the inside and outside of the computer can be ventilated through the second area 132.

Meanwhile, of course, the present invention is not limited to the structure of the blind 102 shown in FIG. 3. As an example, the blind 102 may have a structure in which two slit layers with a plurality of slits are formed to intersect each other. In this case, the first slit layer and the second slit layer may have an overlapping structure, and one slit layer may be formed to be able to move up and down under the control of the controller.

Meanwhile, a plurality of slits may be formed at the same location in the first slit layer and the second slit layer. Therefore, when the first slit layer and the second slit layer are completely overlapped, the inside and outside of the computer case 10 can be ventilated due to the plurality of slits formed at the same location (the second area 132 is opened).

However, when one slit layer is moved upward or downward by a predetermined distance under the control of the controller, the positions where the slits of the first slit layer and the second slit layer are formed are misaligned. Therefore, the slits in the first slit layer may be closed by the portion in the second slit layer where the slit is not formed, and the slits in the second slit layer may be closed by the portion in the first slit layer where the slit is not formed. . That is, the second area 132 may be closed by the blind 102 while the portions where the slits are formed are crossed with each other.

Meanwhile, Figure 4 is an exemplary diagram showing the appearance of the second front part 12 including the filter part 201 and the second cooler part 202 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the second front part 12 includes a filter part 201 covering the first area 131 of the inlet and a second cooler part covering the second area 132 of the inlet. (202) may be included.

The filter unit 201 may include at least one air purification filter such as a high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter) of a certain level or higher. Here, the at least one air purification filter may be formed to be attachable to and detachable from the filter unit 201.

As an example, the filter unit 201 may include a guide part with a groove formed so that at least one filter can be inserted, and the at least one air purification filter is connected to the filter unit 201 by an external force along the groove of the guide part. It can be mounted on .

Additionally, the at least one air purification filter may be separated while being pulled out of the filter unit 201 by an external force along the groove of the guide unit. That is, the air purification filter according to an embodiment of the present invention can be formed so that the user can arbitrarily attach or detach it from the filter unit 201.

Additionally, the second cooler unit 202 covers the second area 132 of the intake port and may be comprised of at least one cooler.

In this case, the second cooler unit 202 may be interlocked with the blind 102 of the first front part 11. That is, the control unit controls the second cooler unit 202 to rotate the fan when the second area 132 is opened by the blind 102, and the second area 132 is opened by the blind 102. When closed, the second cooler unit 202 can be controlled so that the rotation of the fan is stopped.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1 described above, the second front part 12 may be stacked on the first front part 11. Accordingly, the filter part 201 of the second front part 12 overlaps on the first cooler part 101 of the first front part 11, and the filter part 201 of the first front part 11 overlaps the first cooler part 101 of the first front part 11. 2 The second cooler portion 202 of the front portion 12 may overlap.

Therefore, when the first cooler unit 101 is driven, the suction force generated according to the operation of the first cooler unit 101 causes air to flow into the filter unit 201 overlapped on the first cooler unit 101. Can be inhaled. And the sucked air can be purified by the air purification filter of the filter unit 201. Additionally, the air purified by the filter unit 201 may be sucked in by the suction force of the first cooler unit 101 and flowed into the computer.

However, if the second area 132 of the intake port is open, unpurified air may flow into the computer, which may weaken the air purification function. Therefore, the control unit of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent air from entering by closing the second area 132.

To this end, the controller can control the slats of the blind 102 and close the second area 132 through the slats to block air outside the computer from flowing in through the second area 132. You can. In this case, the second cooler unit 202 may remain in a stopped state.

As the second area 132 is closed in this way, air can flow from outside the computer into the computer only through the first area 131 where the air purification filter (filter unit 201) is disposed. Additionally, the air purified by the air purification filter (filter unit 201) may be discharged through a vent (hereinafter referred to as an outlet) through which air is discharged to the outside of the computer. This can purify the air around the computer.

Meanwhile, in order to further improve the air purification effect, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed so that air does not flow in other than designated vents (intake and outlet). As an example, the computer case 10 may not have ventilation holes other than the ventilation holes where the intake cooler and exhaust cooler are formed, and other than the ventilation holes (intake and outlet), there may be no seals such as gaskets or packing. ) The interior of the computer case 10 may be formed to be sealed using a sealing element to prevent air inside the computer and outside air from circulating.

However, when an air purification filter is placed at the intake port like this, the amount of air flowing into the computer may be reduced due to the filtration effect. Accordingly, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has the fan rotation speed of the first cooler unit 101 at a preset level or higher than the fan rotation speed (RPM) of the cooler determined according to the temperature of the computer or CPU. The reduced amount of air can be compensated for by rotating faster. For example, the control unit may control the first cooler unit 101 so that the fan rotates at a speed 20% increased than the fan rotation speed (RPM) of the cooler determined according to the temperature of the computer or CPU.

However, when the CPU processes a task that requires a high amount of computation above a certain level, or when it runs continuously for more than a certain period of time, the temperature inside the computer or the CPU may increase above a certain level. And this heat generation problem can be a problem that prevents the computer from being used as an air purifier even though the computer is equipped with coolers similar to air purifiers.

Accordingly, the control unit of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine whether additional cooling is necessary based on the temperature of the computer interior or CPU. And if it is determined that additional cooling is needed, the second area 132 of the intake port can be opened by opening the blind. Then, the second cooler unit 202 can be driven to allow more air to flow into the computer through the open second area 132.

That is, the control unit blocks the second area 132 through the blind 102 when the computer is operating normally or normally operated, thereby allowing air to flow only through the first area 131 equipped with the filter unit 201. Inhale and allow the purified air to be discharged. However, when the computer operates abnormally or the inside of the computer overheats, the blinds are temporarily opened and the second cooler unit 202 is driven to suck in more air, thereby quickly cooling the temperature inside the computer. Therefore, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the computer to be used as an air purifier and at the same time strengthens the cooling function as needed, thereby solving the heat problem that may occur when using the computer as an air purifier. make it possible

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation process in which the control unit of the computer case 10 controls the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can operate only the first cooler unit 101 in a normal operating state when the computer is running. In this case, the blind 102 may remain closed, and the second cooler unit 202 may not be driven. That is, when the computer is running, the control unit drives the first cooler unit 101 so that only the air purified by the filter unit 201 flows into the computer through the first area 131 of the intake port. Therefore, the air around the computer can be purified by allowing the purified air to be discharged outside the computer.

In this normal operating state, the control unit of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can detect the temperature inside the computer (S500). Here, the temperature inside the computer may mean the temperature of at least one specific computer component mounted within the computer case 10. For example, the temperature inside the computer may be the temperature of the CPU, the temperature of the main board, or the temperature of the graphics card. Alternatively, it may be a statistical value (eg, temperature average) calculated from the temperatures of at least one computer component including the CPU, main board, or graphics card.

Meanwhile, in order to detect the temperature inside the computer, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be equipped with a thermometer. The thermometer may be provided at a location adjacent to a CPU mounted on a motherboard and configured to measure the temperature of the CPU or the motherboard. Alternatively, it may be configured to measure the air temperature inside a computer case.

Alternatively, to detect the temperature inside the computer, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may use temperature information provided from a motherboard or CPU mounted inside. In this case, of course, there is no need to provide a separate thermometer. Alternatively, if the control unit of the computer case 10 is the control unit or CPU of the motherboard, temperature information of the CPU or motherboard detected by itself can be used.

And the control unit may determine whether the temperature inside the computer detected in step S500 exceeds the preset temperature (S502). And when the detected temperature does not exceed the preset temperature, the normal operating state, that is, only the first cooler unit 101 is operated, the blind 102 remains closed, and the second cooler unit 202 can remain in a non-running state. Then, you can proceed to step S500 again and detect the temperature inside the computer again. Here, the preset temperature is a temperature that can be obtained in a plurality of experiments related to the present invention, and may be a temperature determined in consideration of the possibility of damage to specific computer parts and the noise increased due to acceleration of the fan rotation speed of the cooler. . In other words, the preset temperature may be determined as a temperature at which damage to components does not occur, and at which noise due to the fan rotation speed of the cooler, which accelerates as the temperature increases, is generated below a certain level.

Alternatively, the preset temperature may be any temperature set by the user. For example, if the temperature inside the computer is the CPU temperature, 60 degrees selected by the user may be the preset temperature. Alternatively, if the temperature inside the computer is the air temperature inside the computer, 40 degrees selected by the user may be the preset temperature.

On the other hand, if, as a result of the determination in step S502, the temperature inside the computer exceeds the preset temperature, the control unit may determine that additional cooling of the inside of the computer is necessary. Accordingly, the control unit switches to an emergency operation state for cooling the inside of the computer, opens the blind 102 to open the second area 132, and controls the second cooler unit 202 to operate to cool the first cooler. Air outside the computer can be sucked in through both the unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 (S504).

In this case, when the emergency operation state is switched, not only the first cooler unit 101 but also the second cooler unit 202 is driven, so air can be introduced not only from the first area 131 but also from the second area 132. . Therefore, as the amount of air flowing into the computer increases, air circulation inside the computer is promoted and faster cooling can be achieved.

When the emergency operation state is switched like this, the control unit can re-detect the temperature inside the computer (S506). And it can be determined whether the re-detected temperature inside the computer is below the preset blind close temperature (S508).

As a result of the determination in step S508, if the re-detected internal temperature of the computer exceeds the preset blind closing temperature, the control unit opens the blind and operates both the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202. The emergency operation state can be maintained as is. Then, the process may proceed again to step S506 to re-detect the temperature inside the computer and perform step S508 again to compare the re-detected temperature with the blind close temperature.

However, as a result of the determination in step S506, if the re-detected internal temperature of the computer is below the blind closing temperature, the blind 102 can be closed again and the operation of the second cooler unit 202 can be stopped again (S510) ). Accordingly, the normal operating state can be returned to where only the first cooler unit 101 is driven. Then, the control unit may proceed again to step S500 to detect the temperature inside the computer, and proceed to step S502 to determine whether the detected temperature exceeds the preset temperature.

Here, the blind closing temperature may be the same temperature as the preset temperature.

However, the state in which air flows in through both the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 (emergency operation state) is changed to a state in which only the first cooler unit 101 is operating (normal operation state). Accordingly, the temperature inside the computer may increase for a certain period of time. In this case, an increase in temperature may cause a transition from the normal operating state back to the emergency operating state.

In order to prevent unnecessary re-conversion from the normal operating state to the emergency operating state, a lower computer internal temperature (blind close temperature) may be required to restore the normal operating state from the emergency operating state. Therefore, the blind closing temperature may be set to a lower temperature than the preset temperature.

Meanwhile, step S502 may include accelerating the fan rotation speed of the first cooler unit 101 to a certain level. In this case, the control unit switches to an emergency operation state when the temperature inside the computer detected in step S500 exceeds the preset temperature even though the fan rotation speed of the first cooler unit 101 has accelerated, and the second cooler Step S504 may be entered in which the unit 202 is driven and the blind is opened.

Meanwhile, as described above, the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 may each include at least one cooler. Additionally, the number of coolers provided in the first cooler unit 101 and the second cooler unit 202 may be different. For example, in order to further increase the cooling effect in a normal operating state, the first cooler unit 101 may include more coolers than the second cooler unit 202. In this case, the first area of the intake port may be wider than the second area.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram showing an example in which the first area 131 of the intake port is formed wider than the second area 132 in the computer case according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The intake port of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a first area 131 covered by the first cooler unit 101 and the filter unit 201 overlapping the first cooler unit 101. , It may be formed to be wider than the second area 132 covered by the blind 102 and the second cooler part 202 overlapping the blind 102.

In addition, in the above description, the first area 131 is placed at the top of the second area 132 as an example, but unlike this, the second area 132 may be placed at the top of the first area 131. Of course it is possible. Therefore, the distinction between the first area 131 and the second area 132 is whether the area covered by the filter unit 201 (first area 131) or the area covered by the blind 102 (second area It will have to be decided depending on whether it is an area (132) or not.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 shows an example of a cover 13 and a second front portion 12 of a computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention covered by the cover 13. .

As shown in FIG. 6, the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a cover 13 to protect the second front part 12 from external impact. The cover 13 may be formed in a perforated network structure so that air can freely flow through the cover 13. It may include a plurality of fastening parts, and may be coupled to and fixed to the main body of the computer case 10 through the plurality of fastening parts.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the intake port of the computer case 10 can be formed to have an area that can be covered by a total of three coolers. And the area covered by the filter unit 201 may be placed below the area not covered. In this case, the area not covered by the filter unit 201 may be an area covered by the blind 102. That is, in FIG. 6, a partial area of the inlet covered by the filter unit 201 may be the first area 131, and the remaining area not covered by the filter unit 201 may be the second area 132. there is.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the first area 131 may be formed wider than the second area 132. And the first area 131 may be an area covered by two coolers, and the second area 132 may be an area covered by one cooler. That is, as the first area 131 is formed wider than the second area 132, the number of coolers provided in the first cooler unit 101 is equal to the number of coolers provided in the second cooler unit 202. There may be more.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the filter unit 201 including at least one air purification filter may be arranged to overlap the first cooler unit 101. Additionally, the filter unit 201 may be formed to be detachable.

FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an example in which the filter unit 201 attached to overlap the first cooler unit 101 is separated from the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The filter unit 201 may be installed to overlap the first cooler unit 101 while being inserted into a mounting groove formed along the outer edge of the first cooler unit 101 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user applies an external force to the filter unit 201 in a direction away from the mounting groove, the filter unit 201 may be separated from the mounting groove. Then, the user can replace the air purification filter provided in the filter unit 201 or clean the air purification filter. Then, the filter unit 201 can be remounted by mounting the replaced or cleaned air purification filter on the filter unit 201 and inserting the filter unit 201 back into the mounting groove.

Meanwhile, the filter unit 201 may be the air purification filter itself. That is, the mounting groove may be a groove formed so that a HEPA filter of a preset size can be mounted. In this case, the filter unit 201 may be a HEPA filter itself. Additionally, the user may replace the filter unit 201 by replacing a HEPA filter of a preset size mounted to overlap the first cooler unit 101.

Meanwhile, the control unit of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an indicator unit 14 to display to the user whether the air purification function is currently operating.

Figure 8 is an example diagram showing the indicator unit 14 that displays information related to the air cleaning function in the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As an example, this indicator unit 14 may be formed at the top of the front part of the computer case 10. Additionally, a light output unit such as an LED or a display unit can be provided to visually display various information related to the air purification function to the user.

First, referring to (a) of FIG. 8, FIG. 8 (a) shows an example of the indicator unit 14 including at least one LED. As an example, the indicator unit 14 may include at least one LED 810 configured to emit light of different colors when the computer case 10 is in a normal operation state and an emergency operation state. Accordingly, based on the light emitted from the LED 810, the user determines whether the current operating state of the computer case 10 is a normal operating state in which the air purification function operates normally, or whether the cooling inside the computer is prioritized over the air purification function. It is possible to identify whether an emergency operation is being performed.

Alternatively, the indicator unit 14 of the computer case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 820 as shown in (b) of FIG. 8. In this case, the control unit may display information about the current operating state of the computer case 10 and information about the temperature inside the computer through the display unit 820. Alternatively, the control unit may display information about the operating status of the first cooler unit 101 and/or the second cooler unit 202, for example, whether it is driven or not, fan rotation speed, etc., through the display unit 820.

Meanwhile, in the above description, an example has been assumed where a vent through which air flows, that is, an intake port, is formed on the front of the computer case 10. However, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, of course, the vent through which air flows may be formed on the top of the computer case, rather than on the front of the computer case.

FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram illustrating another example of a computer case 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention in which a ventilation hole for air inflow is formed on the upper surface.

Referring to FIG. 9 , in another computer case 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention, an intake port through which air flows may be formed on the upper surface of the computer case 20. And the suction port formed on the upper surface may be divided into a first area 931 and a second area 932, covering the first area 931 and the second area 932, respectively, and two overlapping Layers 21 and 22 may be provided.

Hereinafter, among the two layers, the layer mounted on the inside, based on the inside of the computer case, will be referred to as the first upper surface portion 21, overlaps the first upper surface portion 21, and is ) The layer mounted outside the layer will be referred to as the second upper surface portion 22.

The first upper surface portion 21 may include a first cooler portion 911 formed to cover the first area 931 of the inlet, and a blind 912 formed to cover the second area 932 of the inlet. You can. And the second upper surface part 22 includes a filter part 921 covering the first area 931 of the inlet and a second cooler covering the second area 932 of the inlet and including at least one cooler. It may include part 922.

As shown in FIG. 9, the filter part 921 of the second upper surface part 22 overlaps on the first cooler part 911 of the first upper surface part 21, and the filter part 921 of the first upper surface part 21 The second upper surface part 22 may be stacked on the first upper surface part 21 so that the second cooler part 922 of the second upper surface part 22 overlaps the blind 912.

Therefore, based on the inside of the computer case, the first area 931 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 911 and the filter unit 921 stacked on the first cooler unit 911, and the The second area 932 may be covered by a blind 912 and a second cooler unit 922 stacked on the blind 912.

Here, the first cooler unit 911, the second cooler unit 922, and the blind 912 have a structure similar to the above-described first cooler unit 101, second cooler unit 202, and blind 102. You can have it. And, it can be controlled similarly to the case of the computer case 10 described above by the control unit (not shown) of the computer case 20.

Meanwhile, in the above description, an embodiment was described in which a filter unit is formed in the path through which air flows into the computer to purify the air flowing into the computer and discharge the purified air.

However, it is of course possible to purify the air discharged from the computer by providing a filter in the air discharge path rather than in the air inflow path.

Figure 10 shows a computer case 30 according to another embodiment of the present invention in which an air purifying filter, a blind, and a plurality of coolers are disposed at the rear vent through which air is discharged, in order to purify the air discharged outside the computer. It is a concept diagram.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the computer case 30 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a vent through which air is discharged, that is, an exhaust port, at the rear. And the outlet may be divided into different areas (first area 1031 and second area 1032).

Additionally, it may include two layers 31 and 32 that cover the first area 1031 and the second area 1032, respectively, and overlap each other. Hereinafter, among the two layers, the layer mounted on the inside, based on the inside of the computer case, will be referred to as the first rear portion 31, and overlaps the first rear portion 31, and the first rear portion 31 ) The layer mounted outside the layer will be referred to as the second rear portion 32.

And the first rear part 31 includes a first cooler part 1011 formed to cover the first area 1031 of the outlet, and a second cooler part 1011 formed to cover the second area 1032 of the outlet and at least one cooler. 2 It may include a cooler unit 1012. And the second rear part 32 may include a filter unit 1021 covering the first area 1031 of the outlet and a blind 1022 covering the second area 1032 of the outlet.

As shown in FIG. 10, the filter part 1021 of the second rear part 32 overlaps on the first cooler part 1011 of the first rear part 31, and the second cooler of the first rear part 31 The second rear portion 32 may be stacked on the first rear portion 31 so that the blind 1022 of the second rear portion 32 overlaps the portion 1012 . Therefore, based on the inside of the computer case, the first area 1031 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 1011 and the filter unit 1021 stacked on the first cooler unit 1011, The second area 1032 may be covered by a second cooler unit 1012 and a blind 1022 stacked on the second cooler unit 1012.

Here, the first cooler unit 1011 and the second cooler unit 1012 are coolers for discharging air. Therefore, it may be a cooler in which the fan rotates in a direction that exhausts air from inside the computer to the outside. Therefore, the specific side of the cooler facing the direction in which air is discharged is called the front of the cooler, and the specific side of the cooler facing the direction in which air is sucked is called the rear of the cooler. In this case, the front of the first cooler unit 1011 and the second cooler unit 1012 faces the outside of the computer, and the back of the first cooler unit 1011 and the second cooler unit 1012 faces the inside of the computer. It can be arranged to be oriented. Here, the first cooler unit 1011, the second cooler unit 1012, and the blind 1022 can be controlled by a control unit (not shown) provided in the computer case 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention. there is.

As shown in FIG. 10, the second rear portion 32 may be stacked on the first rear portion 31. Accordingly, the filter part 1021 of the second rear part 32 overlaps on the first cooler part 1011 of the first rear part 31, and the second cooler part 1012 of the first rear part 31 2 The blinds 1022 of the rear portion 32 may overlap.

Therefore, when the first cooler unit 1011 is driven, the air pressure generated as the first cooler unit 1011 is driven causes the air to flow into the filter unit 1021 overlapped on the first cooler unit 1011. may flow in. Therefore, the air is purified by the air purification filter of the filter unit 1021, and the purified air can be discharged outside the computer.

However, if the second area 1032 of the outlet is open, unpurified air may be discharged outside the computer, which may weaken the air purification function. Therefore, the control unit of the computer case 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent air from entering by closing the second area 1032.

To this end, the controller can control the slats of the blind 1022 and close the second area 1032 through the slats to block air inside the computer from being discharged through the second area 1032. You can. In this case, the second cooler unit 1012 may remain in a stopped state.

As the second area 1032 is closed in this way, air can be discharged from the inside of the computer to the outside of the computer only through the first area 1031 where the air purification filter (filter unit 1021) is disposed. Accordingly, the air purified by the air purification filter (filter unit 1021) disposed in the first area 1031 may be discharged to the outside of the computer. This can purify the air around the computer.

Meanwhile, in the above description, it has been assumed that a vent through which air is discharged, that is, an outlet, is formed at the rear of the computer case 30, but of course, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, of course, the vent through which air is discharged may be formed on the bottom of the computer case, rather than on the back of the computer case.

FIG. 11 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an example of a computer case 40 according to another embodiment of the present invention when a vent for air discharge is formed in the bottom portion.

Referring to FIG. 11 , the computer case 40 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a vent through which air is discharged, that is, an outlet, on the bottom. And the outlet may be divided into different areas (first area 1131 and second area 1132).

In addition, it may include two layers 41 and 42 that cover the first area 1131 and the second area 1132, respectively, and overlap each other. Hereinafter, among the two layers, the layer mounted on the inside, based on the inside of the computer case, will be referred to as the first bottom portion 41, overlaps the first bottom portion 41, and is ) The layer mounted outside the layer will be referred to as the second bottom portion 42.

And the first bottom portion 41 includes a first cooler portion 1111 formed to cover the first area 1131 of the outlet, and at least one cooler covering the second area 1132 of the outlet. It may include a second cooler unit 1112. And the second bottom part 42 may include a filter unit 1121 covering the first area 1131 of the outlet and a blind 1122 covering the second area 1132 of the outlet.

As shown in FIG. 11, the filter part 1121 of the second bottom part 42 overlaps the first cooler part 1111 of the first bottom part 41, and the first cooler part 1111 of the first bottom part 41 2 The first bottom portion 41 may be stacked on the second bottom portion 41 so that the cooler portion 1112 overlaps the blind 1122 of the second bottom portion 42 .

Therefore, based on the inside of the computer case, the first area 1131 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 1111 and the filter unit 1121 stacked on the first cooler unit 1111, and the first area 1131 of the intake port is covered by the first cooler unit 1111 and the filter unit 1121 stacked on the first cooler unit 1111. Area 2 1132 may be covered by a second cooler unit 1112 and a blind 1122 stacked on the second cooler unit 1112.

Here, the first cooler unit 1111, the second cooler unit 1112, and the blind 1122 have a structure similar to the above-described first cooler unit 1011, second cooler unit 1012, and blind 1022. You can have it. And, it can be controlled similarly to the case of the computer case 30 described above by the control unit (not shown) of the computer case 40.

Meanwhile, in the above description, a configuration in which the air around a computer is purified by a computer case with an air purifying function according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described.

However, in a place where multiple computers are placed, such as an office or a PC room, a plurality of computers equipped with a computer case with an air purifying function may be placed according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this way, when a plurality of computers equipped with a computer case according to an embodiment of the present invention are arranged, it is of course possible to achieve more efficient air circulation through individual control of the computer case of each computer.

In this case, the plurality of computer cases can be connected to each other through short-distance communication such as Bluetooth or infrared communication to create an Internet of Things (IOT) environment. Additionally, at least one of the plurality of computer cases may be configured to control the air purifying function of another computer case. Hereinafter, a computer case that controls the air purifying function of another computer case will be referred to as a master case, and a computer case whose air purifying function can be controlled by another computer case will be referred to as a slave case.

Meanwhile, in order to purify indoor air more effectively, the purified air, i.e. filtered air, must push the unpurified air, i.e. polluted air, toward the computer case that performs the air purifying function so that the indoor air circulates. Accordingly, the master case can induce more effective air circulation throughout the indoor area by allowing slave cases located in highly polluted areas to intake and discharge a greater amount of air more quickly.

Figure 12 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of air circulation according to the air cleaning function in a space where a large number of computers equipped with computer cases according to an embodiment of the present invention are arranged.

Referring to FIG. 12, FIG. 12 shows an example in which 16 computers equipped with computer cases according to an embodiment of the present invention are placed indoors. In this case, one computer case among the 16 computers can operate as a master case, and the other 15 computer cases can operate as a slave case.

In this case, the master case can control computer cases placed in the central area 1220 to intake and discharge air faster than computer cases placed in the outer area 1210 (air circulation control). In this case, the master case may be a case of a computer placed in the outer area 1210 or a case of a computer placed in the central area 1220. And the master case can control other computer cases (slave cases) while performing operations according to air circulation control according to the location where it is placed (either the central area 1210 or the outer area 1220). .

Meanwhile, the air circulation control controls the central area 1220 to rotate the fan at a faster speed than the rotation speed of the fans of the first cooler unit and the second cooler unit provided in the computer cases disposed in the outer area 1210. It may be to control the rotation speed of the fans of the first cooler unit and the second cooler unit provided in the computer cases arranged in.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the amount of air discharged from the central area 1220 increases, pushing more air to the outer area 1210, and the amount of air sucked in from the central area 1220 increases. As a result, more air is sucked from the outer area 1210. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, air circulation 1250 in which air is pushed out from the central area 1210 and circulated through the outer area 1210 can be induced.

Alternatively, the master case may be a computer case placed in the outer area 1210 so that computer cases placed in the central area 1220 inhale and discharge more air than computer cases placed in the outer area 1210. The operating states of computer cases arranged in the central area 1220 can be controlled differently.

As an example, in the case of computer cases placed in the central area 1210, the master case operates in an operating state (second operating state) in which the blinds are opened and the second cooler is driven regardless of the temperature inside the computer, such as the CPU or motherboard. You can control it to do so. On the other hand, computer cases placed in the outer area 1220 can be controlled to close the blinds and operate in an operating state (first operating state) in which the operation of the second cooler is stopped.

In this case, the computer cases placed in the outer area 1220 maintain the first operating state until the temperature inside the computer reaches a specific temperature, and then become blind only when the temperature inside the computer exceeds the specific temperature. You can open and run the second cooler. In this case, the specific temperature may be a temperature set higher than the preset temperature described in FIG. 5 to the extent that computer components are not damaged due to heat generation.

In this case, computer cases placed in the central area 1210 may intake more air than computer cases placed in the outer area 1220. In this case, the amount of air sucked into the central area 1210 increases, and thus air circulation 1250 can be induced from the outer area 1220 to the central area 1210.

Meanwhile, when the computer case according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed to purify air discharged to the outside, the computer cases placed in the central area 1210 emit more air than the computer cases placed in the outer area 1220. can do. In this case, the amount of air discharged from the central area 1210 increases, and the increased air pushes the air to the outer area 1220, resulting in air circulation from the outer area 1220 to the central area 1210 (1250). This can be derived.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 12 described above, a configuration in which air circulation is induced around the central area is disclosed, but of course, air circulation may be induced around an area where contamination is likely to occur among indoor areas.

For example, the indoor area shown in FIG. 12 may be a PC room including a smoking area. And the central area 1210 may be a smoking area. In this case, the master case opens the smoking area by having the coolers accelerate the rotation speed of the fan or opening the blind and driving the second cooler unit to accelerate air circulation for the computer cases placed in the central area 1210, that is, the smoking area. You can also allow air circulation to occur in the center. In this case, air circulation in the smoking area is accelerated, allowing for faster air purification.

Meanwhile, in indoor areas such as typical offices, the air near doors where people frequently enter can be easily polluted. Therefore, the master case can accelerate air circulation around computer cases placed near the entrance door.

FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example in which air circulation occurs around the entrance 1300 when the space where computers equipped with computer cases according to an embodiment of the present invention are located is an office.

Referring to FIG. 13 , the master case may designate at least one computer case placed near the door 1300 in the indoor area as the computer case placed in the area where air circulation will be accelerated. This designation may be made by the user or may be determined based on the topographical characteristics of the indoor space, such as the placement positions of pre-designated computers and entrance doors.

Accordingly, computer cases placed in the area 1310 to accelerate air circulation can be controlled by the master case to accelerate air circulation 1350. That is, the master case causes the coolers to accelerate the rotation speed of the fans for the computer cases placed in the area 1310 to accelerate air circulation, or opens the blind and drives the second cooler to promote air circulation 1350. It can be accelerated. Accordingly, the air near the door can be purified more quickly according to accelerated air circulation (1350).

Meanwhile, in the above description, a configuration in which air is filtered by placing a filter unit at only one of the intake port through which air flows into the computer or the outlet through which air is discharged outside the computer was disclosed. However, this is only an example of the present invention and the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it is not limited. That is, a filter part and a first cooler part are disposed in both the first area of the inlet and the first area of the outlet as well as either the inlet or the outlet, and the second part is disposed in both the second area of the inlet and the second area of the outlet. Of course, a cooler and blinds can be placed.

The present invention described above can be implemented as computer-readable code on a program-recorded medium. Computer-readable media includes all types of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable media include HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Disk), SDD (Silicon Disk Drive), ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage device, etc. This also includes those implemented in the form of carrier waves (e.g., transmission via the Internet). Accordingly, the above detailed description should not be construed as restrictive in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
