HOUSING CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING HEAT THEREIN

摘要

A housing is capable of dissipating heat, and includes a housing body constituted of a plurality of walls, an orientation detecting unit for detecting orientation of the housing body and generating a detection signal for indicating the orientation of the housing body, a fan mounted at an opening in one of the walls, and a controller coupled to the orientation detecting unit and the fan. The controller is configured to determine which one of the walls is on the top of the housing body according to the detection signal received from the orientation detecting unit, and to control operation of the fan for causing an upward air flow within the housing body towards the wall on the top of the housing body.
