Abstract

A liquid cooling system includes a liquid cooling head, a fixing member and a radiator. The fixing member is disposed on the liquid cooling head. The radiator is disposed on the liquid cooling head through the fixing member. The radiator moves with respect to the liquid cooling head between at least two different positions through the fixing member.

Claims (19)

1. A liquid cooling system comprising:

a liquid cooling head;

a fixing member disposed on the liquid cooling head; and

a radiator disposed on the liquid cooling head through the fixing member, the radiator moving with respect to the liquid cooling head between at least a vertical position and a horizontal position through the fixing member,

wherein an angle between a longitudinal axis of the radiator in the vertical position and the longitudinal axis of the radiator in the horizontal position is 90 degrees;

where in the fixing member has two side plates opposite to each other, each of the side plates has a first rail and a second rail, the radiator is disposed between the two side plates, each of two opposite sides of the radiator has a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion, the first protruding portions are respectively disposed in the first rails, the second protruding portions are respectively disposed in the second rails, and the first protruding portions and the second protruding portions are capable of moving with respect to the first rails and the second rails, such that the radiator moves with respect to the liquid cooling head between the vertical position and the horizontal position; and

each of the first rails has two first straight grooves and a curved groove, the two first straight grooves are connected to opposite ends of the curved groove, each of the second rails has two second straight grooves, and the two second straight grooves are connected to each other.

2. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein extending directions of the two first straight grooves correspond to extending directions of the two second straight grooves.

3. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the curved groove is a quarter-circle groove and the two second straight grooves are connected to form an L shape.

4. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first straight grooves has a first fixing structure for fixing the first protruding portion.

5. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein each of the second straight grooves has a second fixing structure for fixing the second protruding portion.

6. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein each of the side plates further has a third rail, each of the third rails has an opening, each of the two opposite sides of the radiator further has a third protruding portion, and the third protruding portions respectively enter or exit the third rails through the openings when the radiator moves with respect to the liquid cooling head.

7. The liquid cooling system of claim 6 , wherein each of the third rails is a straight groove and has a third fixing structure for fixing the third protruding portion.

8. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein each of the side plates further has a first resilient arm and a second resilient arm, each of the two opposite sides of the radiator has a fixing hole formed thereon, and the first resilient arms and the second resilient arms are used for engaging the fixing holes.

9. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , further comprising a fan disposed on the radiator.

10. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , further comprising a pump selectively disposed on the radiator or the liquid cooling head.

11. The liquid cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member has two side plates opposite to each other, the radiator is disposed between and pivotally connected to the two side plates, each of the side plates has a first resilient arm and a second resilient arm, each of two opposite sides of the radiator has a fixing hole formed thereon, and the first resilient arms and the second resilient arms are used for engaging the fixing holes.

12. The liquid cooling system of claim 11 , wherein each of the side plates further has a restraining portion and the restraining portion restrains a rotation angle of the radiator.

13. The liquid cooling system of claim 11 , wherein each of the side plates further has a restraining rail, each of the two opposite sides of the radiator has a restraining member, the restraining members are respectively disposed in the restraining rails, and the restraining members cooperate with the restraining rails to restrain a rotation angle of the radiator.
