Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device having a circuit board on which a heat generating component is mounted, and more particularly to a structure for improving air permeability around the heat generating component.

  For example, a recording apparatus is known that is used by connecting to a television when simultaneously recording a plurality of television programs or recording a program for a long time.

  This type of recording apparatus includes a box-shaped housing, and a plurality of storage devices and a circuit board for controlling the storage devices are accommodated in the housing. The circuit board is mounted with a plurality of circuit components such as semiconductor packages and chip components. Since a specific circuit component with high power consumption inevitably increases the amount of heat generation, conventionally, the specific circuit component is forcibly cooled using a fan.

  For example, according to the electronic device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a fan is disposed on a printed circuit board on which a circuit component that generates heat is mounted. The fan includes a casing and an impeller. The casing has a flat box shape having a bottom plate, a top plate, and side plates, and includes a bearing tube that protrudes from the bottom plate toward the top plate. The impeller is supported by the bearing tube together with the motor and is accommodated in the casing.

  The bottom plate and the top plate of the casing each have an intake hole for sucking air in the housing. The suction hole of the bottom plate is opened in a space for suction formed between the bottom plate and the printed circuit board, and is positioned directly above the circuit component that generates heat. The air inlet hole of the top plate is opened in the space above the housing. Therefore, when the impeller rotates, the air in the housing is sucked into the casing from the suction holes on the bottom plate and the suction holes on the top plate. The sucked air is discharged out of the casing through an exhaust port formed in the side plate of the casing.

  In the electronic device disclosed in Patent Document 1, heat from the circuit components is released into the space for air intake between the bottom plate of the casing and the printed circuit board, so that the temperature of the air space for intake increases.

  However, since the air intake holes formed in the bottom plate of the casing are opened to the air intake space, the hot air released from the circuit components to the air intake space is multiplied by the air flow and sucked into the air intake holes of the fan. . As a result, the hot air from the circuit components is less likely to stay in the space between the printed circuit board and the fan.

JP 2001-57493 A

  In the electronic device disclosed in Patent Document 1, all the opening areas of the air intake holes formed in the bottom plate of the casing face the printed circuit board.

  According to such a configuration, the air intake holes of the bottom plate can only suck air from the space for intake air located between the bottom plate and the printed circuit board. Since the space for air intake tends to become narrower as the casing becomes thinner, it is inevitable that a large resistance is generated when the fan sucks air in the space that is affected by the heat of the circuit components.

  As a result, even if the fan sucks air in the housing from the two directions of the bottom plate and top plate of the casing, the heat of the circuit components that try to stay in the space between the bottom plate of the casing and the printed circuit board is efficiently It becomes difficult to capture.

  As a result, the temperature around the circuit component becomes high, and the heat dissipation of the circuit component is hindered.

  An object of the present invention is to obtain an electronic device that can improve the air permeability around the heat generating component and improve the heat dissipation of the heat generating component.

In order to achieve the above object, an electronic device according to one aspect of the present invention includes:
A housing provided with air intake holes;
A circuit board housed in the housing and mounted with heat-generating components;
A heat sink housed in the housing;

The second suction port includes an opening area facing the surface on which the heat generating component of the circuit board is mounted in the casing, and another opening area opened in the casing at a position away from the circuit board. It is characterized by including.

  According to the present invention, the air permeability around the heat generating component is good, and the hot air of the heat generating component is less likely to stay in the housing. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the heat generating component is improved, and overheating and malfunction of the heat generating component can be reliably prevented.

  The side plates 7 a and 7 b, the front plate 8 and the back plate 9 are erected from the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 6. The left side plate 7a has first to third suction holes 12a, 12b, 12c.

To the outside.

  The back plate 9 has a plurality of first exhaust holes 14a and a plurality of second exhaust holes 14b in the right half region. Further, the top plate 10 is attached so as to straddle between the upper edges of the bottom plate 6, the left and right side plates 7 a and 7 b, the front plate 8 and the back plate 9, and faces the bottom plate 6.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the housing 4 has a first accommodation area 15 and a second accommodation area 16. The first storage area 15 extends in the depth direction of the housing 4 along the front half extending in the width direction of the housing 4 along the front plate 8 of the housing 4 and the side plate 7 b on the right side of the housing 4. And a second half extending. The first suction hole 12 a of the side plate 7 a communicates with the left end of the front half of the first accommodation region 15. The first exhaust hole 14 a of the back plate 9 communicates with the rear end of the rear half of the first accommodation region 15.

  The second accommodation region 16 is surrounded by the left side plate 7 a and the back plate 9 of the housing 4, and is located behind the first accommodation region 15. The intake hole 11 of the bottom plate 6 communicates with the right end portion of the second accommodation region 16. The second and third suction holes 12 b and 12 c of the side plate 7 a communicate with the left end portion of the second accommodation region 16.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first information storage module 17, the second information storage module 18, the card connection device 19, and the power supply module 20 are stored in the first storage area 15 of the housing 4.

  The first and second information storage modules 17 and 18 are used to record a television program, and to quickly search and reproduce the recorded television program. The first information storage module 17 includes two hard disk drive devices having a size of 5 inches, for example. The second information storage module 18 includes, for example, two hard disk drive devices of 3.5 inch size.

  The card connection device 19 has six card slots for inserting six B-CAS cards for receiving, for example, terrestrial digital / BS digital broadcasting. The first information storage module 17, the second information storage module 18, and the card connection device 19 are located in the front half of the first accommodation area 15 and are arranged in a line in the width direction of the housing 4.

  The power supply module 20 has a first circuit board 22 as a power supply board. The first circuit board 22 is fixed to the right end portion of the bottom plate 6 of the housing 4. The first circuit board 22 mounts a plurality of circuit components 23 constituting a power supply circuit. The circuit component 23 includes a circuit component that generates heat during operation. The circuit component 23 is located in the second half of the first accommodation area 15.

  A first axial fan 24 is disposed at the left end of the first half of the first housing area 15. The first axial fan 24 is for forcibly taking in the air outside the housing 4 into the first housing region 15 and faces the first suction hole 12a.

  Further, a second axial fan 25 is disposed at the rear end of the rear half of the first housing area 15. The second axial fan 25 is an example of an exhaust fan that forcibly exhausts the air in the first housing region 15 to the outside of the housing 4 and faces the first exhaust hole 14a.

  When the first axial flow fan 24 and the second axial flow fan 25 are driven, the air outside the housing 4 is sucked into the first half of the first accommodating region 15 from the first suction hole 12a. At the same time, the air in the rear half of the first housing area 15 is sucked out of the housing 4 from the first exhaust hole 14a.

  As a result, as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. 2, an air flow from the front half to the rear half is formed in the first accommodation region 15. The first information storage module 17, the second information storage module 18, the card connection device 19, and the power supply module 20 are forcibly cooled by this air flow.

  The power supply module 20 generates a larger amount of heat than the first information storage module 17, the second information storage module 18, and the card connection device 19. However, the power supply module 20 is located at the downstream end along the air flow direction with respect to the first housing region 15. For this reason, even if the heat generation amount of the power supply module 20 is large, the first information storage module 17, the second information storage module 18, and the card connection device 19 are not easily affected by the heat of the power supply module 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, second to fourth circuit boards 27, 28, and 29 are accommodated in the second accommodation region 16 of the housing 4. The second to fourth circuit boards 27, 28, and 29 are stacked with a space in the thickness direction of the housing 4.

  The second circuit board 27 is a substrate for image processing, and is horizontally supported on the bottom plate 6 of the housing 4. A chip component 30 for processing an image is mounted on the second circuit board 27. The chip component 30 includes a heat sink 31.

  The third circuit board 28 is a tuner board, and is supported horizontally on the second circuit board 27 via a bracket (not shown). On the third circuit board 28, six tuner modules 33 that receive television signals and one distributor 34 connected to the tuner modules 33 are mounted.

  The fourth circuit board 29 is a main board, and is supported horizontally on the third circuit board 28 via a bracket (not shown). The fourth circuit board 29 has a first surface 29a and a second surface 29b. The first surface 29 a faces the third circuit board 28. The second surface 29b is located on the opposite side of the first surface 29a and faces the top plate 10 of the housing 4. A high performance processor 36 and an I / O controller 37 are mounted on the first surface 29a.

  The high-performance processor 36 and the I / O controller 37 are examples of heating elements, respectively. In the present embodiment, heat generated by the high-performance processor 36 and the I / O controller 37 is transferred to the heat sink 39 and is forcibly released from the heat sink 39 to the outside of the housing 4.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first heat receiving block 40 is thermally connected to the high-performance processor 36. The first heat receiving block 40 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity, such as copper. The first heat receiving block 40 is held on the first surface 29 a of the fourth circuit board 29 via a cross-shaped holding spring 41. The holding spring 41 presses the first heat receiving block 40 against the high-performance processor 36 with a predetermined pressure.

  Similarly, the second heat receiving block 42 is thermally connected to the I / O controller 37. The second heat receiving block 42 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity, such as copper. The second heat receiving block 42 is held on the first surface 29 a of the fourth circuit board 29 via an N-type pressing spring 43. The holding spring 43 presses the second heat receiving block 42 against the I / O controller 37 with a predetermined pressure.

  The heat sink 39 has a plurality of heat radiation fins 44. The radiating fins 44 are arranged in parallel with a space between each other. Two heat pipes 45 a and 45 b are bridged between the heat sink 39 and the first heat receiving block 40.

  One end of each of the heat pipes 45 a and 45 b is fixed to the first heat receiving block 40 by means such as caulking, and is thermally connected to the first heat receiving block 40. The other ends of the heat pipes 45 a and 45 b continuously penetrate the plurality of heat radiation fins 44 and are thermally connected to the heat radiation fins 44.

  Therefore, the heat generated by the high-performance processor 36 is transferred to the first heat receiving block 40 and then transferred from the first heat receiving block 40 to the heat sink 39 via the heat pipes 45a and 45b.

  Similarly, a single heat pipe 46 is bridged between the heat sink 39 and the second heat receiving block 42. One end of the heat pipe 46 is fixed to the second heat receiving block 42 by means such as caulking, and is thermally connected to the second heat receiving block 42. The other end of the heat pipe 46 continuously penetrates the plurality of heat radiation fins 44 and is thermally connected to the heat radiation fins 44.

  Therefore, the heat generated by the I / O controller 37 is transferred to the second heat receiving block 42 and then transferred from the second heat receiving block 42 to the heat sink 39 via the heat pipe 46.

  Further, the three heat pipes 45 a, 45 b and 46 hold the heat sink 39 at the rear end portion of the first surface 29 a of the fourth circuit board 29. Therefore, in a state where the fourth circuit board 29 is horizontally supported on the third circuit board 28, the heat sink 39 is accommodated in the rear end portion of the second mounting region 16 in the housing 4, and the housing It faces the second exhaust hole 14b of the body 4.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the fourth circuit board 29 has an extending portion 29 c that projects in the direction of the first circuit board 22 from the second circuit board 27 and the third circuit board 28. . A plurality of FETs (Field Effect Transistors) 48 are mounted on the lower surface of the extending portion 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29. The FET 48 is an example of a circuit component that generates heat, and is arranged in a line in the depth direction of the housing 4 at a position adjacent to the first heat receiving block 40.

  A heat radiating plate 49 is attached to the lower surface of the extending portion 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29. The heat radiating plate 49 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. The heat radiating plate 49 is a long and narrow plate extending in the arrangement direction of the FETs 48, and one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction are fixed to the fourth circuit board 29 via screws 50. Thus, the heat radiating plate 49 is thermally connected to the FET 48 while covering the FET 48 from below, and releases heat generated by the FET 48 into the housing 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a back plate 51 is disposed on the upper surface of the extending portion 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29. The back plate 51 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum. The back plate 51 is fixed to the fourth circuit board 29 using the screws 50. Therefore, the back plate 51 reinforces the mounting portion of the heat sink 49 from above the fourth circuit board 29 by sandwiching the fourth circuit board 29 in cooperation with the heat sink 49.

  Further, the back plate 51 is thermally connected to the fourth circuit board 29 just behind the FET 48. For this reason, part of the heat generated by the FET 48 is indirectly transmitted to the back plate 51 via the fourth circuit board 29.

  As a result, the back plate 51 located on the fourth circuit board 29 also functions as a heat radiating part that indirectly releases the heat of the FET 48. Due to the presence of the back plate 51, the amount of heat transmitted to the heat radiating plate 49 is reduced, and the temperature rise of the heat radiating plate 49 is suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the fan 60 is disposed in the second accommodation region 16 of the housing 4. The fan 60 is for blowing cooling air to the heat sink 39, and enters between the bottom plate 6 of the housing 4 and the extending portion 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29.

  The fan 60 includes a fan casing 61 and an impeller 62. The fan casing 61 has an outer casing 63 and an inner casing 64. The outer casing 63 has a rectangular box shape that opens upward and rearward of the housing 4.

  A cylindrical duct portion 65 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 63. The duct portion 65 protrudes from the bottom of the outer casing 63 toward the bottom plate 6 of the housing 4, and the protruding end is fixed to the bottom plate 6 via a plurality of screws.

  Further, the duct portion 65 surrounds a region of the bottom plate 6 where the intake hole 11 is opened. For this reason, the duct portion 65 constitutes a first suction port 66 that communicates with the outside of the housing 4 through the intake hole 11.

  The inner casing 64 is fitted inside the outer casing 63. The inner casing 64 has a top plate 67. The top plate 67 is attached to the upper end of the outer casing 63 so as to cover the upper opening of the outer casing 63. The top plate 67 has an impeller attachment portion 68 and a second suction port 69.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the impeller mounting portion 68 is located at the center of the top plate 67. The second suction port 69 has first to fourth opening regions 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d. The first to fourth opening regions 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d each have an opening shape curved in an arc shape and surround the impeller attachment portion 68. Therefore, the first to fourth opening regions 70 a, 70 b, 70 c, 70 d are arranged at intervals from each other on the same circumference centering on the impeller mounting portion 68.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the impeller 62 is supported on the lower surface of the impeller attachment portion 68 via a flat motor 72. The impeller 62 is interposed between the bottom of the outer casing 63 and the top plate 67 of the inner casing 64 in a state where the rotation axis O1 is placed vertically. Therefore, the first suction port 66 and the second suction port 69 face each other with the impeller 62 therebetween, and are opened in the axial direction of the rotation axis O <b> 1 of the impeller 62.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rear edge of the top plate 67 of the fan casing 61 forms an exhaust port 73 in cooperation with the rear end opening of the outer casing 63. The exhaust port 73 is opened toward the rear of the housing 4 so as to be orthogonal to the opening directions of the first suction port 66 and the second suction port 69, and faces the heat sink 39.

  When the impeller 62 is driven by the flat motor 72, the air outside the housing 4 is sucked into the rotation center of the impeller 62 through the intake hole 11 and the first suction port 66 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 6. . At the same time, the air inside the housing 4 is sucked into the rotation center of the impeller 62 from the first to fourth opening regions 70 a, 70 b, 70 c, 70 d of the second suction port 69.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, substantially half of the fan 60 enters below the extension 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29. According to the present embodiment, half of the first opening area 70 a, the second opening area 70 b, and the third opening area 70 c of the second suction port 69 of the fan 60 are formed on the fourth circuit board 29. Opening is made in a gap 75 between the extending portion 29 c and the top plate 64 of the fan casing 61.

  Further, the heat dissipation plate 49 thermally connected to the FET 48 faces the gap 75 and faces most of the second opening area 70b and part of the third opening area 70c in the gap 75. .

  Of the second suction port 69 of the fan 60, the remaining half of the first opening region 70 a and most of the fourth opening region 70 d are at positions away from the extension 29 c of the fourth circuit board 29. Opened inside the housing 4. In other words, the remaining half of the first opening area 70 a and most of the fourth opening area 70 d face the top plate 10 of the housing 4 without opening in the gap 75.

  Further, the fan 60 is adjacent to the second axial fan 25. When the second axial fan 25 operates, the air inside the housing 4 is sucked into the second axial fan 25. Therefore, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 2, a flow path 76 for air flowing toward the second axial fan 25 is formed inside the housing 4.

  According to the present embodiment, of the second suction port 69 of the fan 60, the remaining half of the first opening region 70a that is out of the fourth circuit board 29 and most of the fourth opening region 70d are The air flowing in the distribution path 76 is sucked in the distribution path 76.

  According to the television connection device 1 having such a configuration, the FET 48 mounted on the fourth circuit board 29 generates heat during operation. Most of the heat generated by the FET 48 is directly transmitted to the heat radiating plate 49 and is released from the heat radiating plate 49 to the gap 75 between the fourth circuit board 29 and the top plate 67 of the fan casing 61. The remaining heat generated by the FET 48 is transmitted to the back plate 51 on the back side of the FET 48 via the fourth circuit board 29, and is released from the back plate 51 into the housing 4.

  When the first and second axial fans 24 and 25 operate during use of the television connection device 1, the air outside the housing 4 flows from the first suction hole 12 a to the first housing region 15 in the housing 4. Sucked into. Further, the air in the second half of the first housing area 15 is sucked out of the housing 4 from the first exhaust hole 14 a and the air flows toward the second axial fan 25 inside the housing 4. A path 76 is formed.

  When the fan 60 operates during use of the television connection device 1, the air outside the housing 4 is sucked into the rotation center portion of the impeller 62 from the intake hole 11 through the first suction port 66 of the fan casing 61. At the same time, half of the first opening area 70 a, the second opening area 70 b, and the third opening area 70 c in the second suction port 69 of the fan casing 61 are opened in the gap 75 in the housing 4. Therefore, the air in the gap 75 is sucked into the rotation center portion of the impeller 62 from the first to third opening regions 70a, 70b, 70c. As a result, an air flow toward the second suction port 69 is formed at the gap 75.

  The air sucked into the rotation center portion of the impeller 62 is discharged from the outer peripheral portion of the impeller 62 into the fan casing 61 and then blown to the heat sink 31 through the exhaust port 73 of the fan casing 61. As a result, the heat of the high-performance processor 36 and the I / O controller 37 transferred to the heat sink 31 is released outside the casing 4 by multiplying the air flow passing through the heat sink 31.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, the heat of the FET 48 released to the gap 75 from the heat radiating plate 49 is multiplied by the air flow generated at the location of the gap 75 and the first to third of the second suction port 69. Are sucked into the open regions 70a, 70b, 70c.

At the same time, most of the second opening region 70 b and a part of the third opening region 70 c face the heat sink 49 in the gap 75. Therefore, the heat of the FET 48 released from the heat sink 49 is taken into the fan casing 61 together with air from the second and third opening regions 70b and 70c before diffusing into the gap 75. Further, the second suction The half of the first opening region 70 a of the mouth 69 and the fourth opening region 70 d are opened in the housing 4 at a position outside the gap 75 and flow toward the second axial fan 25. Is located in the distribution channel 76.

  Therefore, the second suction port 69 can positively take in not only the air in the gap 75 but also the air flowing through the flow path 76 generated in the housing 4, and the second suction port 69 takes in the air. Large resistance is less likely to occur when inhaling.

  As a result, air permeability in the housing 4 including the gap 75 is improved, and hot air released from the heat radiating plate 49 can be prevented from staying in the gap 75. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance of the FET 48 can be enhanced, and overheating and malfunction of the FET 48 can be reliably prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the heat dissipation plate thermally connected to the FET is opposed to the second and third opening regions of the second suction port, but the present invention is not limited to this. is not. For example, the heat sink may be omitted and the FET may be directly exposed in the gap so as to face the second and third opening regions of the second suction port.

  Furthermore, the circuit component that generates heat is not limited to the FET, and may be another circuit component such as a semiconductor package.

  In addition, the electronic device according to the present invention is not specified as a television connection device, and can be similarly applied to other devices such as a personal computer and a server.
