Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a rotatable windshield device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the rotatable windshield device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. schematic diagram. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the rotatable windshield device 2 includes a bottom plate 20 and a three-door piece 21, and the bottom plate 20 is fixed on the casing 1. Each of the door pieces 21 includes a door body 210 and a door piece. The limiting portion 211, the one-piece engaging portion 212 and the two pivoting arms 213, and the bottom plate 20 has a pivoting shaft 203 corresponding to the pivoting arm 213. In addition, a bottom plate limiting portion 201 and a bottom plate engaging portion 202 are formed on the bottom plate 20, and the pivoting shaft 203 extends to the door body 210 and is pivotally connected to the pivoting shaft 203. The door body 210 can be rotatably disposed on the bottom plate 20 and rotatable relative to the bottom plate 20 to an open position (as shown by the uppermost door panel 21 of the three door panels 21) or a closed position (such as the three The door piece 21 in the middle of the door piece 21 and the lowermost door piece 21 are shown).

Further, the door limiting portion 211 extends to the door body 210. In this embodiment, the bottom plate limiting portion 201 can be a card hole, and the door limiting portion 211 can be a protruding block, and the protruding block (ie, The door piece limiting portion 211) is detachably embedded in the card hole (ie, the bottom plate limiting portion 201). When the door body 210 is rotated relative to the bottom plate 20 to the open position, the door piece limiting portion 211 can be fitted to the bottom plate limiting portion 201 on the bottom plate 20 to fix the door body 210 in the open position. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the bottom plate 20 is further formed with a retaining opening 204 adjacent to the pivoting shaft 203. When the door body 210 is rotated relative to the bottom plate 20, the pivoting arm 213 of the door panel 21 follows the door body. The pivoting shaft 203 of the base plate 20 rotates relative to the pivoting shaft 203 of the bottom plate 20, and the positional opening 204 can provide a space for the pivoting arm 213 to pivot relative to the pivoting shaft 203 to prevent the pivoting arm 213 from pivoting relative to the pivoting shaft 203. Interference with the bottom plate 20 occurs.

In addition, the bottom plate 20 is further formed with an opening 205 and a channel 206. The channel 206 communicates with the opening 205 and the card hole (ie, the bottom plate limiting portion 201). The projected area of the channel 206 is smaller than the projected area of the opening 205 and the projection of the card hole. The area, that is, the card hole and the opening 205 are located at both ends of the channel 206, and the size of the card hole and the opening 205 are larger than the size of the channel 206, so that the bottom plate 20 forms a block between the opening 205 and the card hole. 207, when the protrusion (ie, the door limiting portion 211) is fitted to the card hole (ie, the bottom plate limiting portion 201), the clamping block 207 can be used to clamp the protruding block into the card hole to The sheet 21 is fixed in the open position.

In this embodiment, the pivoting arm 213 and the door limiting portion 211 can be located on the same side of the door body 210, and the pivoting arm 213 of the door piece 21 can be adjacent to the door limiting portion 211, thereby providing When the pivoting arm 213 is pivoted, the retaining opening 204 of the space is adjacent to the latching hole (ie, the bottom plate limiting portion 201) for locking the door limiting portion 211. In this way, the bottom plate 20 is at the position opening 204 and the card hole. An elastic portion 208 can be formed to provide a space for elastic deformation of the block 207, so that the block 207 is deformed when the door limiting portion 211 is inserted into the hole, thereby enabling the door limiting portion 211. Inserted smoothly into the card hole.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the door engaging portion 212 protrudes from the door body 210. In this embodiment, the bottom plate engaging portion 202 can be a set of matching holes, and the door engaging portion 212 can be a The studs are assembled, and the set of studs (ie, the door engaging portion 212) are detachably inserted into the set of matching holes (ie, the bottom plate engaging portion 202). When the door body 210 is rotated to the closed position relative to the bottom plate 20, the door engaging portion 212 can be engaged with the bottom plate engaging portion 202 to fix the door body 210 in the closed position, and the door body 210 is overlapped with the bottom plate 20 at this time. on. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the application of the rotatable windshield device 2 to a second storage element 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 is that the housing 1 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a first storage element 3 having a first length L1, and the housing 1 shown in FIG. 4 is configured with a second storage element 4 having a second length L2, wherein the second length L2 is greater than the first length L1, that is, the housing 1 of the present invention is selectively configurable with the first storage element 3 and the second storage having different lengths Element 4.

The bottom plate limiting portion 201 on the bottom plate 20 is for fixing the door body 210 to the open position. At this time, the door body 210 can define the first-class track 10 together with the first storage element 3 in the casing 1, and the door body 210 can be used to block a space 11 on the rear side of the first storage element 3 so that the space 11 is not directly connected. In the flow channel 10, the heat dissipation airflow generated by a heat dissipation fan (not shown) can flow through the interior of the casing 1 along the flow channel 10, that is, when the casing 1 is disposed with the first length L1. When the first storage element 3 is used, the door body 210 can be fixed to the open position, so that the heat dissipation airflow flows through the inside of the casing 1 through the flow passage 10, so as to avoid the dispersion of the heat dissipation airflow to the space on the rear side of the first storage element 3. 11 generates turbulence to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device 3000.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the housing 1 is provided with the second storage element 4 of the second length L2, the door body 210 can be rotated relative to the bottom plate 20 to the closed position, at which time the door engaging portion 212 can be engaged with The bottom plate engaging portion 202 is configured to fix the door body 210 to the closed position and to overlap the door body 210 on the bottom plate 20. At this time, the door body 210 can not interfere with the second storage element 4 and the second storage element 4 can be adjacent to the door body 210, so that the heat dissipation air generated by the heat dissipation fan can flow along the sidewall of the second storage element 4. Through the inside of the casing 1, that is, when the casing 1 is provided with the second storage element 4 of the second length L2, the door body 210 can be fixed in the open position, so that the heat dissipation airflow is concentrated through the side wall of the second storage element 4. It flows through the inside of the casing 1 to avoid turbulence caused by the heat dissipation airflow to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device 3000.

It is to be noted that, in this embodiment, the door body 210 can have a first side S1 and a second side S2 opposite to the first side S1, and the pivoting arm 213 and the door limiting portion 211 can protrude from The first side S1 of the door body 210, and the door piece engaging portion 212 is adjacent to the second side S2 of the door body 210. The bottom plate 20 may be formed with a take-up notch 209 corresponding to the second side S2, and the second side of the door body 210 S2 can be exposed to the take-up notch 209, so that when the door body 210 is fixed in the closed position, that is, when the door body 210 is overlapped with the bottom plate 20, the user can touch the second side S2 of the door body 210 via the take-up notch 209. In order to lift the door body 210 from the closed position, the door panel 21 is rotated from the closed position relative to the bottom plate 20 to the open position.

In addition, the configuration of the rotatable shutter device 2 and the storage device of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings.
