Abstract

A computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device, which is not only suitable for a computer chassis with the BTX specification, but also able to provide a desktop computer an attractive appearance. The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device includes a computer chassis, a front bezel, an inlet airflow guiding member, an airflow guiding space, and a plurality of inlet airflow openings. The airflow guiding space and the inlet airflow openings provide a low airflow impedance inlet that facilitates the movement of the incoming inlet airflow. The front cooling fan is thereby capable of providing the high power components of the desktop computer with low temperature air at a high velocity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device, comprising: 
 a computer chassis;    a front bezel connecting to the computer chassis;    an inlet airflow guiding member formed on the front bezel;    an airflow guiding space defined between the front bezel and the computer chassis; and    a plurality of inlet airflow openings which allow exterior air to flow into the computer chassis through the airflow guiding space.    
   
   
       2 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet airflow guiding member protrudes from the front bezel.  
   
   
       3 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet airflow guiding member protrudes from the a portion of the front bezel.  
   
   
       4 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet airflow guiding member is a trapezoidal prism that is comprised of a body plate and two side plates respectively extending from the body plate.  
   
   
       5 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 4 , wherein the angle between the body plate and the side plate is an obtuse angle, a right angle, or an acute angle.  
   
   
       6 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet airflow guiding member concaves from the front bezel.  
   
   
       7 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet airflow openings are cut around the circumference of the inlet airflow guiding member.  
   
   
       8 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 7 , wherein the inlet airflow openings are further cut around the circumference of the front bezel.  
   
   
       9 . The computer bezel with an inlet airflow guiding device of  claim 7 , wherein the inlet airflow openings are further cut from the front surface of the inlet airflow guiding member or the front bezel.
