Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: an enclosure; a circuit board mounted in the enclosure, the circuit board having at least one heat generating component thereon; a fan module having a fan and a first output opening corresponding to the fan; and an air guiding element mounted in the enclosure, wherein the air guiding element comprises a resisting panel and a guiding panel, the guiding panel comprises a guiding panel free end that extends toward the output opening of the fan module, the guiding panel free end guides airflow from the first output opening of the fan module to a first side of the resisting panel, and the resisting panel guides the airflow to the at least one heat generating component; wherein a plane defined by the ends of the guiding panel is aligned at an angle larger than 90 degrees relative to the resisting panel; and the electronic apparatus comprises a second fan module having a second fan and a second output opening opposite to the first output opening, the air guiding element comprises a second guiding panel extending toward the output opening of the second fan module, and the second guiding panel guides the airflow from the second output opening to a second side of the resisting panel opposite to the first side of the resisting panel.
