Patent ID: 7580259

Claim:
A heat dissipation device for dissipating heat from an electronic component, comprising: a base frame, disposed at one side of the electronic component and having wing plates spaced a distance from each other, each of the wing plates having an elongated guide slot defined therein, wherein the elongated guide slot has a vertical section and a horizontal section; a moving frame, movably disposed in the elongated guide slots of each of the wing plates, so as to be moved in the elongated guide slots; and a retaining cover, one end of the retaining cover being disposed on the moving frame and the other end of the retaining cover has a heat dissipation fan mounted thereon, such that the heat dissipation fan moves along the elongated guide slots with the moving frame when the moving frame moves along the elongated guide slots; wherein the heat dissipation fan has at least a retraction position where the heat dissipation fan is not overlaid above the electronic components, and a heat dissipation position where the heat dissipation fan blows air flow towards the electronic components; wherein the heat dissipation fan is in the retraction position when the moving frame is disposed entirely in the vertical section of the elongated guide slot, is in a first heat dissipation position when the moving frame is disposed in a portion of the vertical section and a portion of the horizontal section of the elongated guide slot, and is in a second heat dissipation position when the moving frame is disposed entirely in the horizontal section.
