Abstract

A cradle device for a computer according to an embodiment includes: a cradle part configured such that the inlet part is seated thereon and holes through which air flows are formed therein; a filter part configured to filter out foreign substances generated according to the flow of air; and a filter housing part configured such that the filter part is coupled to a top surface thereof, and fixedly coupled below the holes of the cradle part. The filter part includes a first filter part made of a mesh material, and filters out foreign substances through the first filter part before air is introduced into the inlet part.

Claims (24)

1. A cradle device for a computer in which a body part formed in a box shape and having a control unit and a cooling unit disposed therein and an inlet part protruding from a bottom surface of the body part in a circular shape, formed in a ring shape and configured to receive air introduced by the cooling unit are formed, the cradle device comprising:

a cradle part configured such that the inlet part is seated thereon and holes through which air flows are formed therein;

a filter part configured to filter out foreign substances generated according to the flow of air; and

a filter housing part configured such that the filter part is coupled to a top surface thereof, and fixedly coupled below the holes of the cradle part;

wherein the cradle part includes:

one or more stand portions extending upward from a ground;

a plate-shaped stand connection portion connecting the stand portions, and having a circular opening formed in a center thereof;

a circular seating part disposed in a center of the stand connection portion and configured such that the computer is seated thereon;

a first outer frame formed in a ring shape having a length of an outer circumferential surface equal to a length of an inner circumferential surface of the circular opening, and configured such that a first auxiliary tab protruding upward and having a depression formed in an inner circumferential surface is formed on one side and a main tab protruding upward and having an opening formed in an inner circumferential surface is formed on the other side; and

a first inner frame formed in a ring shape having a length of an outer circumferential surface equal to a length of an outer circumferential surface of the seating part;

wherein the filter housing part includes:

a second outer frame coupled to the first outer frame, formed in a ring shape having a circumference corresponding to a circumference of the first outer frame, and configured such that a first auxiliary protrusion is formed on one side of an outer circumferential surface thereof and a main hook portion is formed on the other side of the outer circumferential surface thereof;

a second inner frame coupled to the first inner frame, formed in a ring shape having a circumference corresponding to a circumference of the first inner frame, and disposed below the second outer frame; and

reinforcing portions having a plurality of bar shapes connecting the second outer frame and the second inner frame;

wherein the main hook portion includes a hook having elasticity so that a user can bend it laterally and extending downward and a main protrusion protruding outward from an outer circumferential surface of the hook;

wherein a user bends the hook and then inserts the main protrusion into the main tab in a state of coupling the first auxiliary protrusion to the first auxiliary tab, so that the main hook portion is coupled to the main groove and the filter housing part is coupled to the cradle part; and

wherein the filter part is coupled into spaces between the reinforcing portions, and filters out foreign substances through the filter part before air is introduced into the inlet part.

2. The cradle device of claim 1 , wherein:

the cradle part includes a grill part having a plurality of bar shapes connecting the first outer frame and the first inner frame;

a direction from the first outer frame to the first inner frame is disposed to be inclined downward; and

the holes are formed by spaces of the grill part.

3. The cradle device of claim 1 , wherein the filter part includes one or more of:

a first filter part made of mesh material; and

a second filter part made of a PVC material, and formed to be stacked together with the filter part.
