Abstract

An electronic device enclosure includes an enclosure for receiving a water-cooled heat exchanger and a water collecting device. The water collecting device is received in the enclosure and includes a water collecting member and a guiding pipe attached to the water collecting member. The water collecting member includes a tray, a first guiding portion located in the tray and a second guiding portion adjacent to the first guiding portion. The first guiding portion includes a first slanted edge, and the second guiding portion includes a second slanted edge. The guiding pipe is located between the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge, and the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge are together slanted towards the guiding pipe, for guiding dew generated by the water-cooled heat exchanger to flow into the guiding pipe.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An electronic device enclosure comprising:
 an enclosure configured to receive a water-cooled heat exchanger;   a water collecting device received in the enclosure and comprising a water collecting member and a guiding pipe attached to the water collecting member; the water collecting member comprising a tray, a first guiding portion located in the tray and a second guiding portion adjacent to the first guiding portion; the first guiding portion comprising a first slanted edge, and the second guiding portion comprising a second slanted edge;   wherein the guiding pipe is located between the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge, and both the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge are slanted towards the guiding pipe, and are configured to guide dew to flow into the guiding pipe.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein an obtuse angle is defined between the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the tray is slanted toward the guiding pipe. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the water collecting member further comprises a first side plate connected to the tray, and each of the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion abuts the first side plate. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 4 , wherein the water collecting member further comprises a second side plate connected to the first side plate, and the second guiding portion is substantially a right-angled triangle and located at a corner connected to the first side plate and the second side plate. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the first guiding portion is an isosceles triangle. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises a first frame, a second frame and a post located between the first frame and the second frame, the water collecting device further comprises a securing frame, and the securing frame is attached to the first frame and the post. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 7 , wherein the first frame comprises a first pole, the securing frame comprises a first securing pole and a second securing pole, and the first securing pole is substantially parallel to the first pole and substantially perpendicular to the second securing pole. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 8 , wherein the securing frame further comprises a connecting pole connected to the second securing pole, the water collecting member is attached to the connecting pole and the second securing pole, a first end of the tray abuts the connecting pole, and a second opposite end of the tray is below the connecting pole. 
     
     
         10 . An electronic device enclosure comprising:
 an enclosure configured to receive a water-cooled heat exchanger;   a water collecting device received in the enclosure and comprising a water collecting member and a guiding pipe attached to the water collecting member; the water collecting member comprising a tray, and a guiding member located in the tray; the guiding member comprising a plurality of slanted edges;   wherein the tray and each of the plurality of slanted edges are slanted towards the guiding pipe, and are configured to guide dew to flow into the guiding pipe.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein the guiding member comprise a first guiding portion and a second guiding portion adjacent to the first guiding portion, the plurality of slanted edges comprising a first slanted edge defined in the first guiding portion, and a second slanted edge defined in the second guiding portion, and the guiding pipe is located between the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 11 , wherein an obtuse angle is defined between the first slanted edge and the second slanted edge. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 11 , wherein the first guiding portion is an isosceles triangle. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 11 , wherein the water collecting member further comprises a first side plate connected to the tray, and each of the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion abuts the first side plate. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 14 , wherein the water collecting member further comprises a second side plate connected to the first side plate, and the second guiding portion is substantially a right-angled triangle and located at a corner connected to the first side plate and the second side plate. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein the enclosure comprises a first frame, a second frame and a post located between the first frame and the second frame, the water collecting device further comprises a securing frame, and the securing frame is attached to the first frame and the post. 
     
     
         17 . The electronic device enclosure of  claim 16 , wherein the first frame comprises a first pole, the securing frame comprises a first securing pole and a second securing pole, and the first securing pole is substantially parallel to the first pole and substantially perpendicular to the second securing pole.
