Description

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The disclosure generally relates to heat dissipating systems, especially, to a heat dissipating system with a heat dissipating module.

2. Description of Related Art

A conventional motor control box is used for controlling a mechanical arm. The motor control box defines a few openings for airflow to prevent dust or oil from contaminating the box, which may cause heat to not be dissipated efficiently out of the box.

Thus, there is room for improvement within the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. 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.

FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a heat dissipating system. The heat dissipating system includes an enclosure body 10, a cover panel (not shown) covering the enclosure body 10, a plurality of heat generating elements 30, a control computer 50 (shown in FIG. 3), and a heat dissipating module 70. In one embodiment, the heat generating elements 30 are motor controllers.

The enclosure body 10 includes a bottom panel 11, a mounting panel 13 extending from the bottom panel 11, two side panels 15 extending from the bottom panel 11, and a top panel 17 extending from the mounting panel 13. The mounting panel 13 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel 11, two side panels 15 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel 11. The mounting panel 13 defines a mounting opening 131 and a plurality of mounting holes 133 surrounding to the mounting opening 131.

The heat generating elements 30 are substantially parallel to each other and are substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel 11 and the mounting panel 13. Each heat generating element 30 includes a securing panel 31. The securing panel 31 defines two securing holes 311 corresponding to the mounting holes 133. The securing panel 31 is substantially parallel to the mounting panel 13.

FIG. 3 illustrates the control computer 50 of the embodiment. The computer 50 includes a computer body 51 mounted to the bottom panel 11, a heat sink 52 mounted to the computer body 51, and a fan 53 mounted on the heat sink 52. The fan 53 includes two plane panels 531 substantially parallel to each other. Each plane panel 531 defines an airflow opening 533. The plane panel 531 is substantially parallel to the bottom panel 11.

The heat dissipating module 70 includes a base 71 and a plurality of fins 73 extending from the base 71. The fins 73 are substantially parallel to each other. The fins 73 are substantially perpendicular to the mounting panel 13. The base 71 defines a plurality of through holes 711 corresponding to the mounting holes 133.

FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate that in assembly, the heat generating elements 30 are placed on the inner side of the mounting panel 13, to enable the securing holes 311 of the heat generating elements 30 to be aligned with the mounting holes 133 of the mounting panel 13. The heat dissipating module 70 are placed on the outer side of the mounting panel 13 to enable the through holes 711 of the heat dissipating module 70, to be aligned with the mounting holes 133 of the mounting panel 13. A plurality of fasteners (not shown), such as screws, are secured in the through holes 711, the mounting holes 133, and the corresponding to the securing holes 311 to secure the heat dissipating module 70, the mounting panel 13, and the heat generating elements 30 together. At this time, the base 71 of the heat dissipating module 70 covers the mounting opening 131 and contacts the heat generating elements 30. Heat generated by the heat generating elements 30 can be delivered to the fins 73 via the base 71. The cover panel is mounted to cover the enclosure body 10 to integrate a closed enclosure.

FIG. 3 illustrates that in use, the fan 53, airflow flows into the fan 53 and flows out to two sides of the heat generating elements 30. Airflow flows into the fan 53 again from the middle of the heat generating elements 30, thereby dissipating heat from the heat generating elements 30.
