Abstract

A heat-dissipating assembly for a server includes a housing in which a partitioning plate and a power supply mounted on one side of the partitioning plate are provided. The power supply includes a casing and a power-supplying module received in the casing. The heat-dissipating assembly includes a fan received in the casing and located outside the power-supplying module. The partitioning plate and the casing are respectively provided with a plurality of first heat-dissipating holes and second heat-dissipating holes. The first heat-dissipating holes and the second heat-dissipating holes are positioned to correspond to the fan. The airflow caused by the fan drives the air inside the housing to flow out of the housing via the first heat-dissipating holes and the second heat-dissipating holes. In this way, the heat-dissipating efficiency can be improved without affecting the arrangement of other electronic devices in the housing.

Claims (10)

1. A heat-dissipating assembly for a server, the server comprising a housing, the interior of the housing comprising a partitioning plate and a power supply mounted on one side of the partitioning plate, the power supply comprising a casing and a power-supplying module received in the casing, the heat-dissipating assembly including:

a fan received in the casing and located outside the power-supplying module;

a plurality of first heat-dissipating holes provided on the partitioning plate and located to correspond to the fan; and

a plurality of second heat-dissipating holes provided on the casing and located to correspond to the fan;

wherein airflow caused by the fan drives the air inside the housing to flow out of the housing via the first heat-dissipating holes and the second heat-dissipating holes.

2. The heat-dissipating assembly for server according to claim 1 , wherein the casing further includes a cover plate for covering the fan, and an open hole is provided on the cover plate to correspond to the fan.

3. The heat-dissipating assembly for server according to claim 2 , wherein the cover plate is bent vertically to form a fold, and the fold abuts a surface of the casing and has a plurality of heat-dissipating holes.

4. The heat-dissipating assembly for server according to claim 1 , wherein the cross section of each of the first heat-dissipating holes is shaped as a honeycomb.

5. The heat-dissipating assembly for server according to claim 1 , wherein the cross section of each of the second heat-dissipating holes is shaped as a honeycomb.

6. The heat-dissipating assembly for server according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of the first heat-dissipating holes on the partitioning plate correspond to those of the second heat-dissipating holes on the casing.
