2. Description of the Related Art In general, an electronic device such as a desktop computer has a structure in which a plurality of component mounting boards in which various electronic components are incorporated are separated from each other inside a device housing. In such an electronic device, large heat is generated from the component mounting board. In addition, a plurality of component mounting boards are arranged, and in recent years, with the miniaturization of electronic devices, it has become increasingly important to increase the density of electronic components. Increasingly. Therefore, when such an electronic device is operated for a long time, the temperature inside the device increases due to the heat generated from each electronic component, and further heat is generated from the electronic component as the temperature rises. In this case, each electronic component cannot exhibit its original functions and characteristics, or the deterioration of the electronic component is promoted, so that a design target life cannot be achieved or a failure occurs.

[0003] Such an electronic device has an air-cooling structure, thereby cooling a substrate that generates heat and avoiding damage to the device. The air cooling structure generally includes an intake hole and an exhaust hole. These air intake and exhaust holes are realized as a plurality of pores provided in the device housing. Air cooling is the following process (1)
This is performed by repeating (3) to (3). That is, (1) the air heated by the heat generated by the board expands and the specific gravity becomes lighter, so it rises vertically upward inside the equipment housing, and (2) the air that rises inside the equipment housing is exhausted as it is. (3) The inside of the device housing is exhausted,
This is a process of sucking air from the outside of the device housing having a high air pressure into the inside of the housing through an air intake hole due to the negative pressure. Such a method is called natural air cooling. In some cases, a fan is provided in the vicinity of the intake hole, and the fan artificially flows outside air into the housing.

[0004] For natural air cooling, the exhaust holes must be located above the intake holes. This is because the warmed air is carried upward and exhausted. In addition, there is a method in which an intake hole and an exhaust hole are provided on different surfaces of a device housing as in the related art described later. It is desirable to form an enclosure with a plurality of surfaces provided with an intake hole and an exhaust hole above, and both of the intake and exhaust holes. Therefore, conventionally, a method has been adopted in which the intake and exhaust holes are provided on the same surface among the surfaces constituting the device housing.

When a large number of attached electronic devices are required, such as a large computer, not only one housing but also a plurality of housings are required. For example, when an electronic device as a storage medium is added, device housings having the same shape are connected in series to the main computer and arranged side by side. The problem to be solved here is that the pores of the housings arranged adjacent to each other are closed with each other, which hinders cooling. In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-68372 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-270879 are known as conventional techniques. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-68372 discloses an electronic device having a structure in which a projection is provided on a housing of an electronic device, and when the housings are adjacent to each other, the projections come into contact with each other to secure a space for intake and exhaust. Are described.

However, for example, a housing provided with a projection described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-68372 cannot cope with a case in which the housing is shifted vertically or horizontally and adjacent to each other. In the case shown in FIG. 1 of the same publication, when the cases are installed on bases having different heights and are adjacent to each other while being shifted in the vertical direction, the heights of the protrusions extending in the horizontal direction are different, and the protrusions are different from each other. They cannot be in contact with each other, thereby blocking the suction space or the exhaust space of another housing. In FIG. 3 of the publication, the casings do not engage with each other due to the displacement in the vertical direction.
It is clear that the housings engage with each other due to the displacement in the horizontal direction.

[0007] In FIG. 5 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-68372, although the air intake / exhaust holes are not closed, the air cooling structure is not fixed for each case, and cases having different air cooling structures must be combined. No. In such a case, a user who adds or combines equipment must purchase new equipment while paying attention to the air-cooling structure of the equipment housing to be purchased, which is cumbersome, and also requires the producer. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of production lines for manufacturing casings having different structures, which causes a burden in terms of cost and the like.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-68372 originally has an intake hole or an exhaust hole provided only in one region of the housing surface divided by protrusions. That is, a certain housing surface is responsible for only one of intake and exhaust. This structure is disclosed in
The same applies to Japanese Patent No. 70879. On the other hand, the present invention deals with an efficient air-cooling structure of an equipment housing in which both intake and exhaust holes are provided in the same housing surface. Under these preconditions,
Usually, the same type of pores that face each other, such as the intake holes or the exhaust holes, must have an appropriate interval so that these pores are not blocked, and at the same time, the intake space formed by the intake holes. And heat exchange between the exhaust holes formed by the exhaust holes should be as small as possible. This is because, in these different spaces, air having different temperatures, that is, cold air and warm air, respectively flows, so that when both airs are mixed, the cooling efficiency is reduced. As described above, the air-cooling structure provided with both the intake and exhaust holes in the same plane, which is handled by the present invention, is efficient, but has a large requirement to be satisfied.

On the other hand, the object of the present invention is both in the case of adjacent devices and in the case of obstacles such as walls.

As described above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the same housing surface constituting the housing is provided with both the air intake and exhaust holes, and one efficient housing surface is in charge of both air intake and exhaust. In an air-cooled structure, when an equipment housing is installed adjacent to another equipment housing or in close contact with a wall or the like, it is necessary to secure an appropriate space between intake holes or exhaust holes facing each other, and This is a reduction in heat exchange between the intake space created by the holes and the exhaust space created by the exhaust holes. If the former is not achieved, the intake holes or the exhaust holes block each other to prevent cooling, and if the latter is not achieved, the exhausted warm air flows into the intake holes to which the cool air should flow. This is because there is a problem in that
