Abstract

An electronic device includes a chassis and a plurality of electronic modules. The chassis includes a front plate, a rear plate, a top plate, two side plates, a bottom plate and a plurality of dividing plates. The electronic modules are set between two adjacent dividing plates. The front plate includes an air inlet defined in a bottom. A first space is defined between a bottom of each dividing plate and the bottom plate. A second space is defined between a top of each dividing plate and the top plate. At least one of the top of the dividing plate and the bottom of the dividing plate is arranged stepped down from the front plate to the rear plate. The airflow flows through the air inlet, the first space, then flows up through the electronic modules, and then flows to the rear plate.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a chassis comprising a front plate, a rear plate, a top plate, two side plates, a bottom plate and a plurality of dividing plates comprising two adjacent dividing plates configured to define an airflow path therebetween; and

a plurality of electronic modules vertically set between the two adjacent dividing plates;

the plurality of dividing plates are parallel to and located between the front plate and the rear plate, and perpendicularly connected to the side plates;

a bottom of each dividing plate and the bottom plate forming a first space;

a top of each dividing plate and the top plate forming a second space;

the dividing plates are arranged in a series of steps;

the front plate comprises an air inlet in a bottom; and

wherein airflow flows through the air inlet, the first space, and upwardly through the electronic modules, and exits through to the rear plate.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first spaces of the dividing plates orderly decrease from the front plate to the rear plate, the second spaces orderly increases from the front plate to the rear plate.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first spaces of the dividing plate orderly decrease from the front plate to the rear plate, and the second spaces between a top of each dividing plate and the top plate are equal.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first spaces between a bottom of each dividing plate and the bottom plate are equal, and the second spaces orderly increase from the front plate to the rear plate.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the chassis also comprises a fan adjacent to the rear plate.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic module are hard disk drive modules.
