SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned JP-A-8-286
In the example of 783, since the surface of the housing is a heat dissipation surface, the heat dissipation area is limited to the size of the housing. That is, the upper limit of the amount of heat radiation is uniquely determined due to natural cooling, and it becomes impossible to operate the element at or above the limit of the amount of heat radiation.
Therefore, as the performance of the element increases, it becomes difficult to cool the heating element, which hinders the performance of the electronic device. Further, there is a problem that the temperature distribution on the surface of the housing becomes non-uniform, and a high-temperature portion is locally generated near the heating element.

In the example of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-263162,
The fan is housed horizontally to reduce the size of the housing. However, if the amount of heat generation increases with the performance of the element, a fan must be arranged near the heat generation element in order to effectively supply cooling air to the heat generation element, which greatly restricts the layout of components in the housing. There was a problem that can be. For example, when the heating element is mounted at a position distant from the end of the housing, if the fan is installed near the heating element, the heated air inside the housing will be supplied to the heating element. That is, no consideration has been given to cooling the heating element by supplying outside air whose temperature has not risen.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure suitable for a thin housing that suppresses a temperature rise of the device.

Means for Solving the Problems In a housing containing a wiring board on which a heating element is mounted, a keyboard, and a heat dissipation member for the heating element, the heating element is connected to the inner wall surface of the housing or the back of the keyboard via a heat dissipation member. A heat sink connected thermally was installed, and a fan was arranged near the end of the housing. Here, the heat radiating plate and the housing surface did not contact directly below or directly above the heating element, but contacted at the outer peripheral portion. Therefore, the temperature of the housing surface does not rise locally.

In addition, a heat radiating plate is provided on the inner wall surface of the housing or on the back of the keyboard via heat radiating members on both sides of the heating element, and a fan provided near the end of the housing. At least one of the heat sinks is thermally connected. As a result, the heat generated by the heat generating member in the electronic device housing is transferred to the heat radiating plate installed on the inner wall surface of the housing and the back of the keyboard via the heat radiating member connected to the heat generating member, and the heat radiating plate generates heat. After being diffused in the plane direction, the heat is radiated to the outside air by the fan.

At this time, the outer peripheral portion of the heat sink other than immediately below or directly above the heating element is brought into contact with the housing surface.
As a result, the heat of the heat generating element is once diffused in the outer peripheral direction of the heat radiating plate and then radiated to the outside air from the housing surface.

[0010] Further, a gap is provided between the heat radiating plate and the casing wall so that the cooling air of the fan can flow. As a result, the heat radiating plate and the housing wall surface are cooled, apparent heat conduction in the surface direction is improved, and a rise in the temperature of the housing surface is suppressed.

Further, the gap is formed so that cooling air can flow between the fan and the gap between the radiator plate immediately below or directly above the heating element and the housing and the fan. Thereby, the cooling efficiency near the heating element is improved.

In addition, since a radiator plate thermally connected to the heat generating element is provided on both sides of the heat generating element and the fan is thermally connected to both the heat radiator plates, the heat of both the heat radiator plates is transferred to the connecting portion with the fan. The heat is dissipated by the fan through the fan. Therefore, the temperatures of the heat sinks are averaged, and the temperature rise on the surface of the housing on which the heat sinks are installed is suppressed.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.
Shown in FIG. 1 is a plan view of the electronic device of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the main wiring board 1 on which the CPU 1 and a plurality of elements (not shown) are mounted
2, a housing 100 containing the keyboard 14 and the like. A first heat sink 11 is laid on the bottom of the housing 100. The first radiator plate 11 preferably has an area as large as possible, and if necessary, may have an area approximately equal to the bottom surface of the housing, and may be installed to the rear surface of the housing. The housing 100 may be formed of a highly heat conductive material such as an Mg alloy. The second heat sink 13 is laid on the back of the keyboard 14. The CPU 1 is mounted on the keyboard side of the main wiring board 12, and the rear surface of the main wiring board 12 on which the CPU 1 is mounted is connected via a flexible heat conductive member (for example, a mixture of Si rubber and a filler such as aluminum oxide) 3. Thermally connected to first heat sink 11.
On the other hand, the CPU 1 is thermally connected to the second heat sink 13 provided on the back of the keyboard 14 via the flexible heat conductive member 2. The first radiator plate 11 and the bottom surface of the housing, and the second radiator plate 13 and the back surface of the keyboard 14 do not contact directly below or directly above the CPU 1 (provided with the spaces 21 and 22) but come into contact at the outer peripheral portion. I did it. Further, the fan 16 is installed near the end inside the housing 100. Fan 16
The radiator plate 161 is formed integrally with the fan case, and the radiator plate 161 is in thermal contact with the second radiator plate 13 via a highly thermally conductive sheet, grease, or the like. In addition, fan 16
The fan is installed such that the rotation axis of the fan is substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the housing. Therefore, since a fan having a diameter larger than the thickness (height) of the housing can be mounted, high cooling performance can be obtained. Further, the fan 16 has a structure in which air is exhausted from the side of the fan, and is exhausted to the outside of the housing from an air exhaust port 101 provided on the side of the housing. Fan intake
FIG. 2 shows an example in which air is taken in from the space formed in the main wiring board 12 and the housing bottom (air flows roughly in the direction of the arrow in the figure). Air may be taken from a space formed between the wiring board 12 and the keyboard. Further, air may be taken from both spaces.

The heat generated by the CPU 1 is transferred to first and second heat radiating plates 11 and 13 provided on the bottom surface of the housing and the back of the keyboard via the flexible heat conducting members 2 and 3, and the heat radiating plates 11 and 13 are provided. After being diffused in the surface direction of the heat radiating plate at 13, the heat is radiated to the outside air via the housing wall surface and the keyboard. At this time, the first and second heat sinks do not contact the housing wall surface and the keyboard rear surface directly below or directly above the CPU 1, so that the temperatures of the housing bottom surface and the keyboard surface do not locally increase. This effect is particularly effective when the casing material is made of a metal (for example, an Mg alloy, an Al alloy, or the like). This is because, even if the surface of the housing is the same temperature, the temperature felt by a person when touched is higher for metal than for resin. Further, since the fan 16 cools the second heat radiating plate 13 via the fan heat radiating plate 161, it is possible to cool the CPU 1 and suppress a rise in the keyboard surface temperature. Further, by inhaling air from the space formed between the main wiring board 12 and the bottom surface of the housing, the heated air on the bottom surface side of the housing is exhausted, and the bottom surface of the housing can be cooled.

The embodiment of FIG. 3 has the same configuration as that of FIG. 2, but further enhances the cooling effect of the fan. The heat pipe 30 was fixed to the second heat radiating plate (or may be integrally formed, or the heat radiating plate itself may be a flat heat pipe). CP by heat pipe
The heat diffusion effect from U1 to the fan 16 can be increased, and the rate of heat dissipation by the fan can be increased. Thereby, the heat radiation effect of the CPU can be enhanced, and the rise in the keyboard surface temperature can be further suppressed. In addition, due to the high heat transport effect of the heat pipe, it is not always necessary to mount the CPU and the fan close to each other, and the degree of freedom in mounting is increased.

Another embodiment is shown in FIGS. FIG.
Is a rear view of the present embodiment. The embodiment of FIG. 4 has the same configuration as that of FIG. 2 except that the space 21 formed between the first heat radiating plate 11 and the housing bottom is expanded not only immediately below the CPU 1 but also to the vicinity of the fan. The wall surface 17 of the heat radiating plate forming the space is a duct, and a flow path 23 for fan cooling air is formed between the first heat radiating plate 11 and the bottom surface of the housing. The cooling air of the fan flows into the space between the first heat sink 11 and the bottom of the housing (indicated by the arrow in the figure),
Since both surfaces of the first heat radiating plate 11 function as heat radiating surfaces, in addition to the effects described in the embodiment of FIG. 2, more effective cooling can be performed. This structure is particularly effective when the casing material is made of metal. The heat of the CPU is transferred to the first heat sink 1
Since heat is conducted from 1 to the bottom of the housing and diffuses into the wall,
The bottom surface of the housing itself is also radiated from both sides (inside the housing: cooling by a fan, outside the housing: natural heat dissipation).

The embodiment of FIG. 5 differs from the embodiment of FIG.
Further, an opening 24 for introducing outside air is provided in a fan cooling air flow path 23 formed between the first heat sink 11 and the housing bottom. In this embodiment, since the outside air is introduced from the opening 24, the effect described in the embodiment of FIG. Therefore, the cooling of the CPU and the heating elements mounted on the wiring board other than the CPU and the suppression of the temperature rise on the surface of the housing are effectively performed.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment,
In the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is attached to the first and second heat radiating plates 11 and 13. Boss 2
5 is made of metal having high thermal conductivity such as copper,
It is fixed to the fan radiator plate 161 and the first and second
Radiating plates 11, 13 and fan radiating plate 161 are thermally connected to each other. According to the present embodiment, since the first and second radiating plates 11 and 13 and the fan radiating plate 161 are thermally connected to each other, the first and second radiating plates are averaged so that the temperatures of both radiating plates are equalized. Heat moves between the heat sinks. In this embodiment, the heat pipe 30 is attached to the second radiator plate 13, and the fan 16 is larger via the second radiator plate. Therefore, heat flows from the second heat sink to the first heat sink. The flow of heat is indicated by a dashed arrow in the figure. That is, at the connection portion with the fan, the heat is first and second.
Are distributed to each other via a fan between the heat radiating plates and radiated by the fan. Therefore, both the surface temperature of the keyboard surface and the surface temperature of the housing bottom can be suppressed to be low.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment. This embodiment is shown in FIG.
However, the low heat conductive member 4 is installed in the spaces 21 and 22 provided directly below or directly above the CPU 1. As a result, thermal contact is made directly below or directly above the CPU 1, but since the thermal conductivity of the heat conducting member 4 is low, the amount of heat to be moved is small and a heat spot is avoided. Further, as compared with the heat transfer by the air in the spaces 21 and 22 in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the heat is transferred by the low heat conductive member 4, so that the heat can be transferred more effectively.

The heat of the PU is conducted from the heat pipe to the heat radiating plates 11 and 13 and diffuses into the wall surface. At this time, a space is provided directly below or directly above the end of the pete pipe so that the bottom of the casing or the back of the keyboard 14 can be directly provided. Since it does not come into direct contact with heat, heat spots can be avoided and heat can be transferred effectively. This is effective when there is no space for installing a space directly below or directly above the CPU.
