Compact electronic device with airflow and cooling features
The granted patent US12016151B2 describes a compact electronic device, specifically a wireless access point (AP), featuring a dual-section inner casing designed to house both high-voltage and low-voltage electrical components. The device is encased in an outer plastic housing and incorporates a single fan that facilitates airflow through both sections, ensuring efficient cooling. The design emphasizes safety by maintaining a specified separation between high-voltage components and metal parts of the low-voltage section to comply with clearance and creepage safety standards. Additionally, the high-voltage section is equipped with a transformer connected to an AC electrical plug, while the low-voltage section supports a fan module and a printed circuit board (PCB) with a CPU module.
Further enhancements in the design include a plastic chamber within the high-voltage section to shield components from electromagnetic interference, featuring side windows for airflow. The CPU module is designed with a conductive shield that allows air circulation around the CPU die, promoting effective cooling. The patent also details structural features such as removable top covers, slit vents for air intake, and inserts to optimize airflow and reduce turbulence. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to the thermal management and safety of compact electronic devices, particularly in the context of wireless access points.
