Abstract
Description
- The invention is directed towards housing power supplies for an electronic device. More specifically, the invention is directed towards a chassis design for modular or attached power supply units.
- Many electronic components, such as computer systems, need a power supply for operation. In some multi-unit systems, the power supplies need to supply a large amount of power while minimizing the volume used to house the power system.
- Some typical “box” component systems have built-in power supply slots in the system itself. However, the “built-in” systems tend to conform to the measurements of the main chassis itself. In this manner, external connections between the power supplies and the components tend to bow out in an arc-like manner from the rear plane of the panel enclosing the power supplies to the connections for the components. In use, such “cord-draping” of high-current power supply cables can pose potential problems with access to other connectors at the rear of the “boxes” and the like.
- When the full cord is exposed, the cords tend to become a jumble of connections that are hard to decipher. In this case, care must be taken to distinguish the cords running between the power supply and the input power connection, and the “draping” effect leads to the maximum amount of visible cord possible. This draping often leads to confusing masses of cord and/or tangles in the cords when a plurality of components and/or power supplies are involved.
- Further, the cords may also pose a reliability issue. When placed near passageways, or when under service for whatever reason, the “draping” effect leads to large amounts of cord that may be inadvertently yanked or tugged. In this manner, if the cords are pulled from the connections to the electronic components, the cords may be separated from the component, the power supply, or both. When this happens the component may cease to operate, leading to downtime and possible failures to other related components.
- A housing for an electronic device has a first volume bounded by a first face and a second volume bounded by a second face. The second face is indented from the first face. A plurality of electronic components are housed in the first volume, and one or more power supplies are housed in the second volume. The electronic components are operable to be powered by a coupling to the one or more power supplies, the coupling running between the indented second face and the first face.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate one or more embodiments of the present invention and, together with the detailed description, serve to explain the principles and implementations of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Achassis 10 encloses bothelectronic components 14 and the associated power supply orsupplies 12. Thechassis 10 can be divided into subsections by aninner wall 11. Theelectronic components 14 are housed in a housing, theelectronic component chassis 15, and thepower supply 12 is housed within asub-chassis 13. - When the
inner wall 11 is present, theelectronic component chassis 15 can be isolated from thesub-chassis 13. In this manner the electronic component(s) 14 can be protected from any environmental conditions associated with thepower supply 12. - In an aspect of the invention, at least portions of the face of the
sub-chassis 13 are indented from the plane of the corresponding face of theelectronic component chassis 15. As shown, thesub-chassis 13 is indented from the faces of theelectronic component chassis 15. - A
power supply cord 16 runs from thepower supply 12 to theelectronic component 14. The differing plane of theelectronic component chassis 15 and thesub-chassis 13 provide an overhang or ledge that shields the connector from being disturbed by external influences, such as pedestrians or other components. In the depicted embodiment, the “looping” of the connector between theelectronic component 14 and thepower supply 12 is protected in the vertical plane by the overhang 17 of the electronic component chassis. Thus, the risk of accidental disconnection is minimized, and the profile of thepower supply cord 16 that extends beyond the profile of thechassis 10 is minimized relative to the overall profile of the system. - In an embodiment, a
face 20 of theelectronic component chassis 15 follows a contour at approximately a first distance from its opposite face. To create the overhang, the face of thesub-chassis 13 is in an approximately parallel relationship to the plane of theface 20, but disposed inward in the direction towards the opposite face ofelectronic component chassis 15. Accordingly, the “loop” of thepower supply cord 16 coupling thepower supply 12 and theelectronic component 14 is protected by the overhang created by theelectronic component chassis 15 and thesub-chassis 13. Thus, thecord 16 impinges across the plane of theface 20 in a less intrusive manner than if theface 20 and aback face 18 of thesub-chassis 13 were at approximately the same distance from the front edge of the chassis assembly. -
FIG. 2 is a cutaway top plan view of a housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, thechassis 10 has a plurality ofpower supplies 12 a-d. A plurality ofpower supply cords 16 a-d couple therespective power supplies 12 a-d to the specific components within thechassis 10. Theface 20 indicates the edge of the chassis housing the electronic components. Theback face 18 of the sub-chassis 13 is indicated as well in the drawing. The diagram indicates that the cords tend to be placed in the described design under the ledge or within the indentation provided by the interaction of the faces of the chassis. In this manner, the couplings will more likely not be disturbed, since the silhouette of the chassis tends to protect the length of the couplings form external interference. - In one embodiment, the power supplies are placed within portions of the
sub-chassis 13. Each of thepower supplies 12 a-d can be isolated from the other supplies by a structure, such as the walls 24 a-c, noted inFIG. 2 . This helps protect the individual power supplies. - It should be noted that the majority of the length of the
power couplings 16 a-d are contained in the volume under the overhang defined by theface 20 of theelectronic component chassis 15. Thus, there is a lesser chance of thepower cords 16 a-d snagging on any foreign object that might come into proximity to the chassis, sincepower cords 16 a-d tend to be protected under the overhang structure and within the indentation defined by the face of the sub-chassis 13 with respect to theelectronic component chassis 15. - Further, the indentation/overhang aspect of the chassis ensures that the power couplings must extend in a horizontal manner at least the distance between the
indented face 18 of the sub-chassis 13 and the overhanging back face 20 theelectronic component chassis 15. Thus, thepower cords 16 a-d have less “play” in them, since it is used in horizontal extension. As such, thepower cords 16 a-d tend to run straighter between thepower supplies 12 a-d and the associated connection points into theelectronic component chassis 15. This tends to result in neater defined coupling lines, less “tangling” of cords, and less length of cord to dangle outside the silhouette of thechassis 10 as with other types of conventional chassis designs. -
FIG. 3 is a cutaway side view of an alternative housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Many of the features as shown inFIG. 1 are present in this embodiment, including the overhang/indented orientation of the sub-chassis 13 housing thepower supply 12. In this embodiment, however, acover 26 is placed over the indentation/overhang created by theelectronic component chassis 15 and thesub-chassis 13. In effect, the cover “squares off” the form of the overall chassis. This allows thepower cord 16 to be even more protected from external interference. In this case, the power coupling is almost completely protected from external interference when it runs from the sub-chassis 13 to theelectronic component chassis 15. -
FIG. 4 is cutaway top view of the housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis ofFIG. 3 , in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 4 shows that thecover 26 ofFIG. 3 can be made with the same protective structures as mentioned inFIG. 2 . The structures within thecover 26 tend to isolate thepower supplies 16 a-d from each other. Thus, the same protection afforded the power supplies from mishaps happening with the other power supplies is continued into thecover 26 with the continuation of the protective structures into thecover 26. - Should one of the
power supplies 16 a-d suffer adverse circumstances, the protective structures in thecover 26 shield the other power supplies such circumstances. Thus, in addition to protecting thecouplings 16 a-d, the cover also serves to protect thepower supplies 16 a-d. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the housing, and the optional cover, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The perspective view shows theindented sub-chassis 13 housing thepower supply 12, and thepower cord 16 connecting the power supply to an electronic component. This view gives an idea that the indentation/overhang provides protection to thepower coupling 16 from interference via external sources. Further, when thecover 26 is placed into the indentation volume, the structures within thecover 26 give further protection to the unit. - The
cover 26 can be coupled by a variety of mechanisms to thechassis 10. Those of ordinary skill in the art will now know that these many coupling mechanisms exist, and this application should be read as including them. Further, those of ordinary skill in the art will now realize that thecover 26 may be coupled to thesub-chassis 13. Or thecover 26 may be coupledelectronic component chassis 15. Again, this application should be read as including these types of coupling devices, including slots, hooks, rails, wings with fasteners, to name just a few. -
FIG. 6 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. On this chassis, the orientation of the connecting face between theback face 20 of theelectronic component chassis 15 and the sub-chassis 13 is different than that depicted in the other drawings. Those of ordinary skill in the art will now realize that the connecting face can be oriented in a number of differing ways, and this description should be read to include those orientations. -
FIG. 7 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. On this chassis, the orientation of theback face 20 of theelectronic component chassis 15 and correspondingface 18 of the sub-chassis 13 is different than that depicted in the other drawings. In this case, it should be noted that theface 20 and theface 18 are not in a parallel relationship. However, the overhang/indentation relationship between the faces is present. Those of ordinary skill in the art will now realize that the faces of the various chasses can be oriented in a number of differing ways relative to one another, and this description should be read to include those orientations. -
FIG. 8 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with an attached power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In this chassis, the vertical relationship between theelectronic component chassis 15 and the sub-chassis 13 is reversed. Those of ordinary sill in the art will now realize that the vertical relationship between the chasses may be reversed, or that any number of sub-chasses and electronic chasses may be used in the context of the invention. -
FIG. 9 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with an attachable power supply chassis in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In this chassis, thesub-chassis 13 is modular, and operable to be attached to theelectronic component chassis 15. -
FIG. 10 is a cutaway side view of a housing for electronic components with multiple chasses in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In this aspect of the invention, thechassis 10 has multiple electronic component chasses in conjunction with a single sub-chassis. Those of ordinary skill in the art will now realize that any number of electronic component chasses may be utilized, as well as any number of sub-chasses, in the context of the invention. - Accordingly, a system and method for housing power supplies associated with an electronic device is described and illustrated. Those of ordinary skill in the art will now recognize that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible without departing from the invention. Of course, the various features depicted in each of the figures and the accompanying text may be combined together. Accordingly, it should be clearly understood that the present invention is not intended to be limited by the particular features specifically described and illustrated in the drawings, but the concept of the present invention is to be measured by the scope of the appended claims. It should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations could be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described by the appended claims that follow.
