Abstract

An airflow guide includes a top cover and two side covers. The two side covers are disposed on opposite ends of the top cover. At least one of the two side covers includes a base plate and a sliding plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to the top cover. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the base plate. The sliding plate slides relative to the base plate, such that an air inlet is defined in the at least one of the two side covers.

Claims (8)

1. An airflow guide comprising:

a top cover;

two side covers disposed on opposite ends of the top cover, wherein each side cover comprises two base plates fixedly connected to the top cover, two sliding plates slidably connected to the corresponding base plates and selectively positionable in a middle portion of the side covers adjacent to each other or in a retracted position within the base plates, and two revolving plates rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding plates disposed within the middle portion, each of the base plates defines a receiving portion in a side surface thereof, each of the two sliding plates is slidably receivable in the corresponding receiving portion, the two revolving plates are oppositely placed to cooperatively form an air inlet between the two sliding plates.

2. The airflow guide of claim 1 , wherein the top cover comprises two positioning portions defined on opposite sides of the top cover, each base plate comprising two sliding portions disposed on opposite sides of the base plate adjoining the receiving portion to slidably engage the positioning portions.

3. The airflow guide of claim 2 , wherein the positioning portions are elongated T-shaped grooves defined on opposite sides of the top cover.

4. The airflow guide of claim 2 , wherein the sliding portions are a plurality of elongated T-shaped protrusions disposed on the opposite sides of each base plate.

5. The airflow guide of claim 2 , wherein each base plate further defines two limiting holes on the opposite sides of the base plate adjoining the sliding portions, each sliding plate further comprising two limiting protrusions disposed on opposite ends of a side surface of the sliding plate to be received in the limiting holes.

6. The airflow guide of claim 1 , wherein each sliding plate comprises two connecting portions disposed on two adjoining corners of an outer surface of the sliding plate, respectively, each connecting portion defining a shaft hole, and each revolving plate comprises two shafts disposed on opposite ends on one side of the revolving plate, and to be received in the shaft holes, respectively.
