Abstract
An expansion apparatus suitable for an electronic apparatus is provided. The expansion apparatus includes a base, a supporter and an airflow guiding structure. The base has a first fan disposed therein. The supporter is pivoted to the base along a rotating axis and has a cooling channel. The cooling channel has a first port and a second port opposite to the first port. When the electronic apparatus is assembled to the supporter, the second port of the cooling channel faces to the electronic apparatus. The airflow guiding structure is disposed between the supporter and the base movably. When the supporter is pivoted relative to the base to an expanded state, an active airflow generated by the first fan is guided by the airflow guiding structure to pass through the base and the electronic apparatus. An electronic equipment including the expansion apparatus is also provided.
