As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has a structure in which a cooling fan is joined and disposed on the upper surface of a CPU via a heat conductive rubber, and a female screw member is mounted on a mounting board, and the fan of the cooling fan is mounted. A mounting hole having a projection on the inner periphery was formed in a portion corresponding to the female screw member in the casing, and a mounting pin equipped with a coil spring on the outer periphery was inserted into the mounting hole, and provided at a tip of the mounting pin. The male screw portion was screwed into the female screw member, the lower end of the coil spring was brought into contact with the protruding seat on the inner periphery of the mounting hole, and the fan casing of the cooling fan was pressed against the heat conductive rubber on the upper surface of the CPU. Since the cooling fan mounting device is used, the height of the female screw member, C
Even if there is variation in the height of the PU, the thickness of the cooling fan fan casing, etc., it is possible to absorb the variation that exceeds the variation absorption range due to the heat conductive rubber, and therefore, the goodness between the CPU and the cooling fan fan casing is achieved. Heat conduction can be obtained, and the heat of the CPU can be effectively radiated. Also,
In the mounting holes in the fan casing of the cooling fan,
Since the mounting pin and the female screw member are fitted, the height of the cooling device provided by the mounting member does not increase, which can contribute to downsizing of the device.
