Patent ID: 8300405

Claim:
An airflow duct for guiding air toward two heat sink apparatuses in a computer, comprising: a duct body fixed in a computer case, the duct body having an air inlet and an air outlet, the duct body comprises: an air inlet portion, the air inlet portion comprises: a first top wall; and two first side walls substantially perpendicular to the first top wall; and a back side of the first to wall and the first side walls cooperatively form the air inlet therebetween; an air guide portion, the air guide portion comprises: a second top wall; two second side walls substantially perpendicular to the second top wall; and two first connection walls; the first top wall and second top wall are connected together; and each of the two first connection walls is connected to a corresponding one of the two first side walls and a corresponding one of the two second side walls; and an air outlet portion, the air outlet portion comprises: a third top wall; a fourth top wall substantially parallel to the third top wall; a third side wall; a fourth side wall; a fifth side wall; a diagonal wall; and a second connection wall, the second top wall and third top wall are connected together, the third side wall and fourth side wall are substantially perpendicular to the third top wall, the fourth side wall is connected to the third top wall and fourth top wall, the fifth side wall is substantially perpendicular to the fourth top wall, the second connection wall is connected to the fifth side wall and one of the two second side walls, and the diagonal wall is connected to the second top wall and fourth to wall, the air inlet and the air outlet are defined in the air inlet and outlet portions respectively, and the air guide portion is connected to the air inlet and outlet portions; a first air guide channel defined in the duct body forming a first air outlet opening in the air outlet, which opens towards a first heat sink apparatus in the computer case; and a second air guide channel defined in the duct body forming a second air outlet opening on the air outlet, which opens towards a second heat sink apparatus in the computer case; wherein the first and second air guide channels are capable of guiding air from the air inlet to the first and second heat sink apparatuses, through the first and second air outlet openings to dissipate heat respectively from the first and second heat sink apparatuses; and a height of the first air guide channel is greater than a height of the second air guide channel.
