Abstract

A cooling structure for a housing is located on the side wall of the housing. The side wall has an air inlet and there is a cooling fan located in the air inlet. The cooling structure for a housing includes a cooling device and an air-sheltering mask. The cooling device includes a cooling chip, at least one cold part and at least one hot part. The cooling chip has a cold terminal and a hot terminal. The cold part is connected with the cold terminal of the cooling chip and located at one side of the cooling fan. The hot part is connected with the hot terminal of the cooling chip. The air-sheltering mask and the side wall form a receiving space for receiving the hot part. The air-sheltering mask forms an opening that is close to the rear side of the housing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cooling structure for a housing, located on a side wall of the housing, the side wall has an air inlet and there is a cooling fan located in the air inlet, comprising:
 a cooling device located on one side of the side wall, comprising:   a cooling chip having a cold terminal and a hot terminal;   at least one cold part connected with the cold terminal of the cooling chip and located at one side of the cooling fan; and   at least one hot part connected with the hot terminal of the cooling chip; and   an air-sheltering mask fixed to the side wall, wherein the hot part is located between the air-sheltering mask and the side wall, the cold part is located outside the air-sheltering mask, and the air-sheltering mask has an opening that is close to a rear side of the housing.   
   
   
       2 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cooling device is assembled with the air-sheltering mask. 
   
   
       3 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cooling device further comprises at least one first hot pipe and at least one second hot pipe, one end of the first hot pipe is connected with the cold terminal of the cooling chip, a second end of the first hot pipe extends along a direction that is parallel to the side wall and is connected with the cold part, one end of the second hot pipe is connected with the hot terminal of the cooling chip, and a second end of the second hot pipe extends along a direction that is parallel to the side wall and is connected with the hot part. 
   
   
       4 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the cooling device further comprises a first heat-conducting block and a second heat-conducting block, the first heat-conducting block and the second heat-conducting block are respectively located at the cold terminal and the hot terminal of the cooling chip, and one end of each of the first hot pipe and the second hot pipe is respectively connected with the first heat-conducting block and the second heat-conducting block. 
   
   
       5 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the cooling device further comprises a shell, the cooling chip, the first heat-conducting block and the second heat-conducting block are located in the shell, two flexible plates are located between the cooling device and the first heat-conducting block and the second heat-conducting block, respectively, so that the first heat-conducting block and the second heat-conducting block tightly contact the cold terminal and the hot terminal of the cooling chip. 
   
   
       6 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cooling chip is parallel to the side wall. 
   
   
       7 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cold part and the hot part are parallel to the side wall, and the cold part and the hot part are located in the same plane. 
   
   
       8 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the cooling device comprises a plurality of cold parts and a plurality of hot parts, and the cold parts and the hot parts are radially disposed. 
   
   
       9 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cooling device comprises a plurality of cold parts and a plurality of hot parts, and the cold parts and the hot parts are radially disposed. 
   
   
       10 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cold part and the hot part are located at one side of the cooling fan along the direction of the air flow of the cooling fan. 
   
   
       11 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the air-sheltering mask has a plurality of installing portions for combining with the side wall. 
   
   
       12 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the air-sheltering mask and the side wall form a receiving space, the hot part is received in the receiving space, and the opening of the air-sheltering mask links with the receiving space. 
   
   
       13 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the air-sheltering mask has an enclosing wall, the enclosing wall is located between the cold part and the hot part for separating the cold part and the hot part, the enclosing wall has at least one opening for being plugged with the first hot pipe. 
   
   
       14 . The cooling structure for a housing as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cold part is located at one side of the cooling fan along a direction of the air flow of the cooling fan, the side wall has a second cooling fan around the air inlet, and the hot part is located at one side of the second cooling fan along a direction of the air flow of the second cooling fan.
