1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to enclosures and, more particularly, to an enclosure with a vent.
2. Description of Related Art
An electronic device, such as a server or a computer, usually defines a plurality of vent holes in a sidewall of the electronic device for heat dissipation. However, the dimensions of the venting holes are fixed and cannot be adjusted to change the volume of airflow once the sidewall has been manufactured.
Many aspects of the present 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 present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The 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 main body 10 includes a sidewall 12 defining an opening 122.
Referring to
The second body 22 further defines a through hole 221 in a center of the second body 22. Two opposite handles 222 extend in from a side of an outer surface of the second body 22, opposite to the first body 21. An arrowhead 224 is marked on the side of the outer surface the second body 22.
The venting apparatus 20 further includes a fastener 23, a washer 24, a resilient member 25, and a nut 26. In one embodiment, the resilient member 25 is a coil spring. The fastener 23 is a flat-headed bolt.
Referring to
Referring to
In use, the handles 222 are operated to rotate the second body 22 relative to the first body 21 to misalign the second vents 223 of the second body 22 relative to the first vents 215 of the first body 21. The first and second vents 215 and 223 can partly overlap, thereby changing the airflow permitted through the first and second vents 215 and 223.
The nuts 26 compresses the resilient member 25 to keep the second body 22 in firm contact with the first body 21, thus the second body 22 may be positioned in any position relative to the first body 21. The arrowhead 224 can indicate the degree of overlap between the first and second vents 215 and 223.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the 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.
