Proportional Micro-Valve With Thermal Feedback

Номер: US20120012299A1
Автор: Randall N. Avery
Принадлежит: Industrial Idea Partners Inc

A proportional micro-valve for regulating the temperature of an electronic component comprising a cooling subsystem associated with each thermal zone of the electronic component, a cooling circuit carries cooling fluid to a heat exchanger associated with each thermal zone, the flow of which is controlled by a valve element, which is in turn controlled by a sensing circuit which reacts to the temperature of the underlying thermal zone to proportionally increase or decrease the rate of cooling fluid flowing through the heat exchanger based upon the temperature of the thermal zone. Cooling fluid substantially continuously flows through the sensing circuit, regardless of whether the valve element is open or closed. The sensing circuit provides feedback to a temperature-responsive mechanical amplifier for opening and closing the valve element.

A protection cover with upright positionability includes a first board and a second board. The first board has a quadrilateral shape for mounting to a back side of an electronic device of a similar shape. The first board forms a fold line and is divided by the fold line into a stationary zone fixedly attached to the electronic device and a folding zone removably attached to the electronic device. The second board is connected to one edge of the folding zone. To position the electronic device in a substantially upright condition, the folding zone of the first board is separated from the electronic device and folded toward the back side of the electronic device to serve as a support to the electronic device positioned in the substantially upright condition. And adjusting folding angle of the folding zone may adjust the inclination angle of the electronic device that is positioned upright.
