Container and electronic apparatus assembly comprising the same

Abstract

A container for accommodating an electronic device and an electronic apparatus assembly comprising the container are provided. The container comprises a body and a heat exchange unit connected to the body. The body forms a closed space for receiving the electronic device. The heat exchange unit operatively guides the heat generated by the electronic device from the closed space to the exterior of the body. Thereby, the electronic device can be isolated and cooled within the closed space.

1 . A container for accommodating an electronic device, comprising:
 a body forming a closed space for receiving the electronic device; and   a heat exchange unit connecting with the body for guiding heat generated by the electronic device from the closed space to an exterior of the body.   
     
     
         2 . The container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the heat exchange unit comprises a heat absorption portion and a heat dissipation portion thermally connecting with the heat absorption portion, the heat absorption portion being disposed inside the closed space and the heat dissipation portion being disposed outside the body. 
     
     
         3 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the closed space is provided with an airflow for flowing within the body. 
     
     
         4 . The container as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the body and the electronic device define an airflow channel therebetween, the airflow circulating along the airflow channel in the closed space. 
     
     
         5 . The container as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising a fan disposed in the closed space for conducting the airflow. 
     
     
         6 . The container as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the airflow delivers the heat generated from the electronic device to the heat absorption portion. 
     
     
         7 . The container as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the electronic device comprises a housing having an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet, the airflow entering the electronic device through the airflow inlet and departing the electronic device through the airflow outlet. 
     
     
         8 . The container as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the electronic device further comprises an intake fan and an exhaust fan, the intake fan being disposed at the airflow inlet for guiding the airflow into the electronic device, and the exhaust fan being disposed at the airflow outlet for guiding the airflow away from the electronic device. 
     
     
         9 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat exchange unit further comprises a heat pipe connecting with the heat absorption portion and the heat dissipation portion. 
     
     
         10 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat exchange unit further comprises a cooling fan being disposed adjacent to the heat dissipation portion. 
     
     
         11 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat exchange unit further comprises a heat exchanger (HEX) connecting with the heat dissipation portion. 
     
     
         12 . The container as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the heat exchanger is a water cooling device. 
     
     
         13 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat exchange unit further comprises a thermoelectric cooler module connecting with the heat absorption portion and the heat dissipation portion. 
     
     
         14 . The container as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the electronic device is a projector, the projector having a lens, the body further comprising a transparent portion disposed corresponding to the lens, and thereby a light beam from the lens is operatively projected outwards through the transparent portion. 
     
     
         15 . An electronic apparatus assembly, comprising:
 an electronic device;   a container comprising a body and a heat exchange unit, the body forming a closed space for receiving the electronic device, and the heat exchange unit connects with the body to guide heat generated by the electronic device from the closed space to an exterior of the body.
