Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for ensuring cold air for a CPU by using easily available cold reserving agent in place of ice used in a refrigerator of old days. <P>SOLUTION: The "refrigerator" system using the cold reserving agent can ensure cold air of nearly the ice temperature continuously for a long time, and can continue to cool the CPU for a long time using a ventilator. The cold reserving agent is easily replaceable or able to be supplemented. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

本発明はパソコンの冷気の確保の仕方に関する。The present invention relates to a method for securing cool air in a personal computer.

ＣＰＵの冷却には水冷やペルチェ素子による強制冷却がある。CPU cooling includes water cooling and forced cooling by a Peltier element.

日経ＷｉｎＰＣ，２０００年８月号，１９６頁〜２０９頁。Nikkei WinPC, August 2000, 196-209.

従来はＣＰＵの冷気の確保として単にファンによるもの、水冷による強制冷却があるが、いずれも、特に水冷式は装置が大掛りな割には、外気の温度以下への冷却効果はない。またペルチェ素子を使った方法は冷却効果は大きいものの普通の使用においては不必要な温度で、ファンによる放熱も必要になり電力消費もかなりなものになる。Conventionally, the cooling of the CPU is ensured by simply using a fan or forced cooling by water cooling. However, the water cooling method has no effect of cooling below the temperature of the outside air, especially when the apparatus is large. Although the method using the Peltier element has a large cooling effect, the temperature is not necessary for normal use, and heat dissipation by the fan is required, resulting in considerable power consumption.

冷気の確保の手段として昔の冷蔵庫での氷に代え、取扱いが簡単で入手の簡単な保冷剤を使う。冷蔵庫のケースは素材は金属でもアクリルでも市販のものが使えるが、冷却効果をあげるために内部にスタイロフォームやメモリーフォームなどの断熱材を当てる。As a means of securing cold air, use ice-cooling agents that are easy to handle and available instead of ice in old refrigerators. Refrigerator cases can be made of either metal or acrylic commercially available, but heat insulation such as styrofoam or memory foam is applied inside to increase the cooling effect.

市販のアクリルのケースと断熱材を使い、保冷剤により冷気を確保する。また図３に示すように、パソコンのケースをこの「冷蔵庫」を内蔵できる形に加工し、ＣＰＵのファンまでダクトで導く。外付けの場合、外気の取り入れ口までダクトを導く。Use a commercially available acrylic case and heat insulating material to ensure cool air with a cooling agent. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the case of the personal computer is processed into a shape in which this "refrigerator" can be built, and is led to the CPU fan by a duct. In the case of external attachment, the duct is led to the outside air intake.

The invention's effect

０度に近い冷気を長時間ＣＰＵに送り続けることができる。Cold air close to 0 degrees can be sent to the CPU for a long time.

「ＣＰＵ冷蔵庫を真上から示し平面図である。」“It is a plan view showing the CPU refrigerator from directly above.” 「ＣＰＵ冷蔵庫を横から示した平面図である。」"It is the top view which showed CPU refrigerator from the side." 「ＣＰＵ冷蔵庫をパソコンケースに内蔵した平面図である。」“It is a plan view in which a CPU refrigerator is built in a personal computer case.”

Claims

Use of a cold insulation agent for cooling and cooling of the externally installed PC, use of refrigerator insulation, duct connection between the PC and the refrigerator, introduction of outside air from a cooler or duct or tube from another refrigerator, ventilation of the fan auxiliary.

A PC case having a structure in which the refrigerator according to claim 1 is built in a personal computer, and a cooling agent can be taken in and out from the outside.
