1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to an enclosure of an electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
Often, there are several heat-generating components enclosed by an enclosure of an electronic device. Nowadays, there is a desire for adjusting airflow flowing into the enclosure according to how much heat is being generated by the heat-generating components.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

Referring to
The sliding plate 20 is slidably mounted between the rows of clips 16. A longitudinal through slot 22 is defined in a center of the sliding plate 20. A plurality of arrayed vent holes 24 is defined in the sliding plate 20, corresponding to the vent holes 14 of the chassis 10. A longitudinal rack 222 extends from a long sidewall bounding the through slot 22.
The captive fastener 30 includes a head 32, a pinion 34 extending from the head 32, a smooth neck 36 extending from the pinion 34 away from the head 32, and a ring-shaped block 38 detachably mounted to the neck 36. A diameter of the neck 36 is less than an outer diameter of the pinion 34, and less than a diameter of the block 38, thereby allowing the neck 36 to extend through the locating hole 18 of the chassis 10 and allowing the pinion 34 to mesh with the rack 182.

In other embodiments, the sliding plate 20 does not define any vent hole 24. When the sliding plate 20 slides relative to the chassis 10, the sliding plate 20 exposes or covers the vent holes 14 of the chassis 10, thereby adjusting airflow flowing into the chassis 10.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the present disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
