US 2014/0179215 A1 · ELECTRONIC DEVICE ENCLOSURE

Abstract

An electronic device enclosure includes a cabinet, an air guiding duct, and a controlling member. The cabinet includes a bottom plate with a heat dissipating area. The air guiding duct defines an ventilation hole and includes a side panel. An air outlet is defined in the side panel and communicates with the ventilation hole. The controlling member includes a shielding panel attached to the bottom plate and a shielding door connected to the shielding panel. The controlling member is rotatable relative to the bottom plate between in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the shielding door abuts the side panel to cover the air outlet, and the ventilation hole communicates with the heat dissipating area. In the second position, the shielding panel covers the ventilation hole, and the shielding door is disengaged from the side panel.
