Laptop computer cooling device
View Patent ↗A device for cooling a computer, the device including a housing with a sidewall and a bottom forming an inner cavity, a horizontal board having a first end and a second end disclosed within the inner cavity, a motor connected to the horizontal board to rotate the horizontal board, a track disposed within the inner cavity with segments of the track at a higher elevation than other segments of the track, a first fan connected to a first end of the horizontal board displacing air vertically and nearly vertically connected to an end of the horizontal board and riding upon the track, a second fan fixed therethrough the sidewall to move air from outside of the housing to within the inner cavity, a third fan fixed therethrough the sidewall to move air from within the inner cavity to outside the housing; and a connection point to secure the computer to the device.
1. A device for cooling a computer, said device comprising:
a housing with a sidewall and a bottom forming an inner cavity;
a horizontal board having a first end and a second end disclosed within said inner cavity;
a motor connected to said horizontal board to rotate said horizontal board;
a track disposed within said inner cavity with sections of said track at a higher elevation than other sections of said track;
a first fan connected to a first end of said horizontal board displacing air vertically and nearly vertically connected to an end of said horizontal board and riding upon said track;
a second fan fixed therethrough said sidewall to move air from outside of said housing to within said inner cavity;
a third fan fixed therethrough said sidewall to move air from within said inner cavity to outside said housing; and
a connection point to secure said computer to said device.
2. The device of claim 1 further comprising a fourth fan connected to said second end of said horizontal board.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said connection point comprises arms that extend from said housing and respective stands that connect to a respective arm.
4. The device of claim 3 wherein said arms are connected to a center within said cavity by a connector that allows said arms to swivel.
5. The device of claim 4 wherein said arms swivel three hundred and sixty degrees.
6. The device of claim 3 further comprising doors formed therethrough said housing through which said arms and said stands extend from said housing.
7. The device of claim 1 further comprising segments removed from said horizontal board.
8. The device of claim 7 wherein said segments are conformed to create a foil to direct air upward therethrough said segments.
9. The device of claim 1 wherein said first fan has a surrounding structure which comprises wheels extending to ride upon said track.
10. The device of claim 1 further comprising a power source to provide power to at least one of said first fan, said second fan, said third fan, and said motor.
11. The device of claim 1 wherein said power source comprises at least one of a battery, power from an electrical outlet, and power from said computer.
12. The device of claim 1 further comprising a control to regulate a speed of at least one of said first fan, said second fan, said third fan, and said motor.
13. The device of claim 1 wherein said second fan is at a same height as said horizontal board.
14. The device of claim 1 wherein said third fan is at a height above said horizontal board.
15. The device of claim 1 further comprising a top cover with vents formed therethrough.
16. The device of claim 15 wherein a ridge extends upward from said top cover.
17. The device of claim 1 wherein said housing is cylindrical in shape.
18. The device of claim 1 wherein when said computer is attached to said connection point an air cushion is created between a bottom of said computer and said top cover.
19. A method for cooling internal components of a portable computer, said method comprising:
placing a track within a cavity formed within a circular housing assembly wherein said track has a high elevation and a low elevation;
providing a motor to rotate a wing positioned within said cavity;
connecting a first fan to a first end of said wing with a connector allowing said fan to move about its axis;
rotating said first fan along said track wherein said first fan rises and lowers based on said track elevation;
blowing air upward with said first fan;
blowing air into said cavity with a second fan formed therethrough said circular housing assembly;
exhausting air out of said cavity with a third fan formed therethrough said circular housing assembly;
securing said computer with a connector above said housing assembly whereby an air cushion is formed between said housing assembly and said computer.
20. The method of claim 19 further comprising providing a power source to operate at least one of said motor, said first fan, said second fan, and said third fan and a controller to operate at least one of said motor, said first fan, said second fan, and said third fan.
