Abstract

A portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer has a top casing, a bottom casing, a fan assembly and a container. The top casing and the bottom casing are mounted together, and the fan assembly and the container are held between the top casing and the bottom casing. The fan assembly is used to dissipate the heat from the notebook computer. The container holds a peripheral device for the notebook computer to decrease space required to carry peripheral devices for the notebook computer.

Claims (22)

1. A portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer comprising a top casing, a bottom casing, a fan assembly and a container, wherein:

the bottom casing has an inside surface, a sidewall, multiple bottom exhaust slots, a controller, wherein

the multiple bottom exhaust slots are formed in the sidewall of the bottom casing; and

the controller is mounted on the inside surface and has multiple switches, multiple sockets and an external power supply socket;

the fan assembly is mounted on the inside surface of the bottom casing and has a top, a sidewall, an inlet, an outlet, a fan motor, a bottom casing connector and a wire, wherein

the inlet is formed through the top;

the outlet is formed through the sidewall; and

the wire is connected between the fan motor and the controller on the inside surface of the bottom casing;

the container is mounted on the inside surface of the bottom casing and has an inner surface, an inner socket and a wire, wherein

the wire is connected between the container and the controller on the inside surface of the bottom casing; and

the inner socket is mounted in the inner surface of the container and is connected to the wire; and

the top casing corresponds to and covers the bottom casing and has an outside surface, a sidewall, multiple air vents and multiple upper exhaust slots, wherein

the multiple air vents are formed through the outside surface of the top casing and one of the multiple air vents corresponds to the inlet in the fan assembly; and

the multiple upper exhaust slots are formed in the sidewall of the top casing and correspond respectively to bottom exhaust slots in the sidewall of the bottom casing to form exhaust ports, and the exhaust ports correspond respectively to the air vents through the top casing and the outlet in the fan assembly corresponds to one of the exhaust ports.

2. The portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the top casing is rectangular and has rounded corners, and the bottom casing corresponds to the top casing, is rectangular and has rounded corners.

3. The portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the top casing has two air vents in the outside surface and two upper exhaust slots in the sidewall corresponding to the air vents respectively; and

the bottom casing has two bottom exhaust slots in the sidewall corresponding to the upper exhaust slots respectively.

4. The portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fan assembly bottom casing connector formed integrally with and extending from the fan assembly; and

the bottom casing has a fan assembly connector is formed on the inside surface and connected to the bottom casing connector to mount the fan assembly on the inside surface of the bottom casing.

5. The portable heat-dissipating device for a notebook computer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fan assembly connector is rectangular and has multiple threaded holes;

the bottom casing connector is rectangular and has multiple through holes; and

multiple screws respectively extend through the through holes in the bottom casing connector of the fan assembly and screw into the threaded holes in the inside surface on the fan assembly connector of the bottom casing.
