Electronic device and adaptor card thereof
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing having an insertion slot, a connecting interface, and an adaptor card. The connecting interface is disposed in the housing for connecting with a first electronic module or a second electronic module separately and has a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The adaptor card is detachably disposed in the housing and includes a flow guide. When the electronic device is in a first mode, the first electronic module is connected to the first connecting part, and the adaptor card is disposed between the insertion slot and the connecting interface. The flow guide directs an airflow toward the first electronic module. When the electronic device is in a second mode, the adaptor card is removed from the housing, and the second electronic module is connected to the first connecting part and the second connecting part.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing, comprising an insertion slot;
a connecting interface, disposed in the housing for connecting to a first electronic module or a second electronic module separately, the connecting interface comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part; and
an adaptor card, detachably disposed in the housing and comprising a flow guide;
wherein, when the electronic device is in a first mode, the first electronic module is disposed in the housing through the insertion slot and connects to the first connecting part, and the adaptor card is disposed between the insertion slot and the second connecting part such that the flow guide directs an airflow toward the first electronic module; and
when the electronic device is in a second mode, the adaptor card is removed from the housing through the insertion slot, and the second electronic module is disposed in the housing through the insertion slot and connects to the first connecting part and the second connecting part,
wherein the adaptor card further comprises a dummy connecting part, and when the electronic device is in the first mode, the dummy connecting part connects to the second connecting part.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the flow guide is a baffle extending from one side of the adaptor card to another side of the adaptor card for blocking the airflow entering through the insertion slot to the dummy connecting part.
3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the first electronic module comprises a heat dissipation unit, and when the electronic device is in the first mode, the adaptor card and the first electronic module are disposed side by side, with one end of the baffle close to the insertion slot and another end of the baffle close to the heat dissipation unit, for directing the airflow from the insertion slot to the heat dissipation unit.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising two guiding rails respectively disposed on two sides of the insertion slot and extending toward the connecting interface.
5. An adaptor card, suitable for use in an electronic device comprising an insertion slot and a connecting interface, the adaptor card comprising:
a card body; and
a flow guide, disposed on the card body;
wherein the adaptor card enters the electronic device through the insertion slot, and the flow guide directs an airflow toward an electronic module disposed in the electronic device through the insertion slot and connected to the connecting interface,
wherein the adaptor card further comprises:
a dummy connecting part, disposed at one end of the card body for connecting to the connecting interface; and
a cover part, disposed at another end of the card body and comprising a plurality of through holes for the airflow to pass through.
6. The adaptor card according to claim 5 , further comprising a rail structure disposed on one side of the card body.
7. The adaptor card according to claim 6 , wherein the flow guide is a baffle, one end of the baffle is close to the side of the card body where the rail structure is disposed, and another end of the baffle is close to the end of the card body where the cover part is disposed.
8. The adaptor card according to claim 7 , wherein the baffle is curved, and an opening of the curved baffle faces the side of the card body where the rail structure is disposed and the end of the card body where the cover part is disposed.
