Description
この発明は、空気等の流体が流通するダクトに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a duct through which a fluid such as air flows.
ダクトは、用途や周辺との取り合いなどに応じて、流通路の断面形状が途中で変化することがある。例えば、バッテリを冷却する空気が流通するバッテリトレイは、ファンから空気が送り込まれる導入部分を周囲との干渉を抑えるため幅狭に設定し、バッテリが配置される冷却部分を導入部分よりも扁平な幅広に設定することで、バッテリの配置スペースを広く確保している(例えば、特許文献１参照)。 The cross-sectional shape of the flow passage of the duct may change in the middle depending on the application and the connection with the surroundings. For example, in a battery tray through which air that cools a battery flows, the introduction part where air is sent from the fan is set narrow to suppress interference with the surroundings, and the cooling part where the battery is placed is flatter than the introduction part. By setting the width wide, a wide space for arranging the battery is secured (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特許文献１のように、導入部分から扁平な冷却部分に流通路の断面形状が変化すると、導入部分よりも広くなった冷却部分の側部において空気が流通し難くなり、冷却部分にて空気の流通が不均一になる問題が生じる。 When the cross-sectional shape of the flow passage changes from the introduction portion to the flat cooling portion as in Patent Document 1, it becomes difficult for air to flow in the side portion of the cooling portion that is wider than the introduction portion, and the air in the cooling portion. There is a problem of uneven distribution.

Even if the shape is changed to a flat shape in the middle, the fluid is evenly distributed in the flat shape portion. The purpose is to provide a duct that can be made to.

前記第１ダクト部の流通方向下流側に設けられ、流体の流通方向と直交する横方向が、該第１ダクト部よりも広くなると共に、流体の流通方向と直交する縦方向が該第１ダクト部よりも狭くなる扁平形状に形成された第２ダクト部と、

本発明に係るダクトによれば、形状を途中で扁平形状に変化させても、扁平形状部分において流体を均等に流通させることができる。 According to the duct according to the present invention, even if the shape is changed to a flat shape in the middle, the fluid can be evenly distributed in the flat shape portion.
次に、本発明に係るダクトにつき、好適な実施例を挙げて、添付図面を参照して以下に説明する。なお、実施例では、流体として空気が流通するダクトを例示する。 Next, the duct according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to suitable examples. In the embodiment, a duct through which air flows as a fluid is illustrated.
図１に示すように、実施例に係るダクト１０は、ブロワーなどの送風装置によって送り込まれる空気(流体)が流通する流通路１１が設けられている。ダクト１０は、第１ダクト部１２と、この第１ダクト部１２の空気の流通方向下流側に設けられた第２ダクト部１４と、第１ダクト部１２および第２ダクト部１４を繋ぐ接続部１６とを備え、第１ダクト部１２から接続部１６を経て第２ダクト部１４に空気が流通するようになっている。ダクト１０は、第１ダクト部１２の第１流通路１１ａ(流通路)の断面形状と、第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂ(流通路)の断面形状とが異なっており、接続部１６において接続流通路１１ｃ(流通路)の断面形状を変化させて、第１ダクト部１２と第２ダクト部１４とを繋いでいる。ダクト１０は、合成樹脂の成形品などを用いることができる。ダクト１０は、第１ダクト部１２、接続部１６および第２ダクト部１４を滑らかに繋いだ一体成形品であっても、流通方向に割った形状の分割成形品を複数組み合わせたものであっても、各ダクト部１２,１４で分割した形状の分割成形品を組み合わせたものであっても、何れであってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 1, the duct 10 according to the embodiment is provided with a flow passage 11 through which air (fluid) sent by a blower such as a blower flows. The duct 10 is a connecting portion connecting the first duct portion 12, the second duct portion 14 provided on the downstream side of the first duct portion 12 in the air flow direction, the first duct portion 12, and the second duct portion 14. 16 is provided, and air flows from the first duct portion 12 to the second duct portion 14 via the connecting portion 16. In the duct 10, the cross-sectional shape of the first flow passage 11a (flow passage) of the first duct portion 12 and the cross-sectional shape of the second flow passage 11b (flow passage) of the second duct portion 14 are different, and the connecting portion. In No. 16, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting flow passage 11c (flow passage) is changed to connect the first duct portion 12 and the second duct portion 14. As the duct 10, a molded product of synthetic resin or the like can be used. The duct 10 is an integrally molded product in which the first duct portion 12, the connecting portion 16 and the second duct portion 14 are smoothly connected, but is a combination of a plurality of divided molded products having a shape divided in the distribution direction. It may be any combination of the divided molded products having the shape divided by the duct portions 12 and 14.
以下の説明では、ダクト１０において、空気の流通方向上流側を、単に上流側といい、空気の流通方向下流側を、単に下流側という。また、流通路１１を特に区別する場合、第１ダクト部１２の流通路を第１流通路１１ａといい、第２ダクト部１４の流通路を第２流通路１１ｂといい、接続部１６の流通路を接続流通路１１ｃという。 In the following description, in the duct 10, the upstream side in the air flow direction is simply referred to as the upstream side, and the downstream side in the air flow direction is simply referred to as the downstream side. Further, when the flow passage 11 is particularly distinguished, the flow passage of the first duct portion 12 is referred to as a first flow passage 11a, the flow passage of the second duct portion 14 is referred to as a second flow passage 11b, and the distribution of the connecting portion 16 The road is called a connecting flow passage 11c.
実施例のダクト１０は、エンジンの運転制御を電気的な補助装置を用いて行う際に、それらを総合的に制御するマイクロコントローラであるエレクトリックコントロールユニット(ＥＣＵ)を冷却するものである。図１に示すように、ダクト１０は、第２ダクト部１４にＥＣＵのヒートシンクＨＳを設置可能な設置部１４ａが設けられている。ダクト１０は、開口する設置部１４ａにヒートシンクＨＳを嵌め合わせることで、第２流通路１１ｂに臨むヒートシンクＨＳを、第２流通路１１ｂに流通する空気によって冷却するように構成されている(図４および図５参照)。 The duct 10 of the embodiment cools an electric control unit (ECU), which is a microcontroller that comprehensively controls the operation of the engine when the operation is controlled by using an electric auxiliary device. As shown in FIG. 1, the duct 10 is provided with an installation portion 14a in which the heat sink HS of the ECU can be installed in the second duct portion 14. The duct 10 is configured to cool the heat sink HS facing the second flow passage 11b by the air flowing through the second flow passage 11b by fitting the heat sink HS into the opening installation portion 14a (FIG. 4). And see Figure 5).
図１〜図５に示すように、第１ダクト部１２は、空気の流通方向と直交する横方向(以下、単に横方向という。)と、空気の流通方向と直交する縦方向(以下、単に縦方向という。)とが、同じまたは同じに近い寸法で、第１流通路１１ａの断面形状が形成されている。なお、ダクト１０において、横方向は、断面形状において縦横に長短があれば、長い方の方向をいい、縦方向は、長い方の方向と直交する短い方の方向をいう。そして、流通路１１の断面における横方向の寸法を横寸法といい、流通路１１の断面における縦方向の寸法を縦寸法という。第１ダクト部１２は、第１流通路１１ａの断面形状の扁平率が０または０に近く設定することで、断面形状に起因する流通路１１における空気の圧力損失を抑制している。
扁平率＝(横寸法−縦寸法)／横寸法
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the first duct portion 12 has a horizontal direction orthogonal to the air flow direction (hereinafter, simply referred to as a horizontal direction) and a vertical direction orthogonal to the air flow direction (hereinafter, simply referred to as a horizontal direction). The cross-sectional shape of the first flow passage 11a is formed with the same or close dimensions as the vertical direction). In the duct 10, the horizontal direction means the longer direction if there are long and short in the vertical and horizontal directions in the cross-sectional shape, and the vertical direction means the short direction orthogonal to the long direction. The horizontal dimension in the cross section of the flow passage 11 is called the horizontal dimension, and the vertical dimension in the cross section of the flow passage 11 is called the vertical dimension. The first duct portion 12 suppresses the pressure loss of air in the flow passage 11 due to the cross-sectional shape by setting the flatness of the cross-sectional shape of the first flow passage 11a to 0 or close to 0.
Flattening = (horizontal dimension-vertical dimension) / horizontal dimension
図１〜図５に示すように、第２ダクト部１４は、横方向が第１ダクト部１２よりも広くなると共に、縦方向が第１ダクト部１２よりも狭くなる扁平形状に形成されている。換言すると、第２ダクト部１４は、第２流通路１１ｂの断面形状の扁平率が、１に近くなるように設定してある。このように、第２ダクト部１４は、ヒートシンクＨＳに応じて横寸法を広く確保することで、第２流通路１１ｂを流通する空気によってヒートシンクＨＳを効率よく冷却し得るように構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the second duct portion 14 is formed in a flat shape in which the lateral direction is wider than the first duct portion 12 and the vertical direction is narrower than the first duct portion 12. .. In other words, the second duct portion 14 is set so that the flatness of the cross-sectional shape of the second flow passage 11b is close to 1. As described above, the second duct portion 14 is configured so that the heat sink HS can be efficiently cooled by the air flowing through the second flow passage 11b by ensuring a wide lateral dimension according to the heat sink HS.
図１、図２および図４に示すように、接続部１６は、上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて接続流通路１１ｃの横寸法が大きくなるように形成されている。接続部１６は、両方の横壁面が上流側から下流側に向かうにつれて互いに離れるように延びており、第１ダクト部１２の横壁面と第２ダクト部１４の横壁面とを滑らかに繋いでいる。図５に示すように、接続部１６は、第１ダクト部１２の下流側に連ねて設けられ、上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて接続流通路１１ｃの縦寸法が小さくなる第１移行部１８を有している。また、接続部１６は、第１移行部１８の下流側に連なると共に第２ダクト部１４の上流側に連なるように設けられ、上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて第１移行部１８よりもなだらかに接続流通路１１ｃの縦寸法が小さくなるように変化する第２移行部２０を有している。接続部１６は、接続流通路１１ｃの流通方向に沿った単位距離当たりの縦寸法の変化が、第２移行部２０よりも第１移行部１８が大きくなるように設定されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the connecting portion 16 is formed so that the lateral dimension of the connecting flow passage 11c increases from the upstream side to the downstream side. The connecting portion 16 extends so as to separate from each other as both lateral wall surfaces move from the upstream side to the downstream side, and smoothly connects the lateral wall surface of the first duct portion 12 and the lateral wall surface of the second duct portion 14. .. As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting portions 16 are provided in a row on the downstream side of the first duct portion 12, and the first transition portion 18 whose vertical dimension of the connecting flow passage 11c becomes smaller from the upstream side to the downstream side is provided. Have. Further, the connecting portion 16 is provided so as to be connected to the downstream side of the first transition portion 18 and to the upstream side of the second duct portion 14, and is gentler than the first transition portion 18 from the upstream side to the downstream side. It has a second transition portion 20 that changes so that the vertical dimension of the connecting flow passage 11c becomes smaller. The connecting portion 16 is set so that the change in the vertical dimension per unit distance along the distribution direction of the connecting flow passage 11c is larger in the first transition portion 18 than in the second transition portion 20.
図３および図５に示すように、実施例の接続部１６の上壁面は、第１ダクト部１２の上壁面および第２ダクト部１４の上壁面(設置部１４ａ)と同一平面上に揃っており、第１ダクト部１２から第２ダクト部１４に向けて直線的に延びている。接続部１６における第１移行部１８は、下壁面(以下、第１移行面１８ａという。)が上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて上壁面側に近づくように傾斜しており、これにより第１移行部１８の接続流通路１１ｃが下流側に向かうにつれて縦寸法が小さくなる。接続部１６の第２移行部２０は、第１移行面１８ａの下流側に連なる下壁面(以下、第２移行面２０ａという。)が上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて上壁面側に近づくように傾斜しており、これにより第２移行部２０の接続流通路１１ｃが下流側に向かうにつれて縦寸法が小さくなる。第２移行面２０ａは、第１移行面１８ａと角度を変えて延在しており、第１移行面１８ａの角度が、第２移行面２０ａの角度より急になっている。なお、図面では、各ダクト部１２,１４と接続部１６との接続部分とを、直線が交差するように角張って描いているが、各ダクト部１２,１４と接続部１６との接続部分を、曲線で滑らかに連なるように形成してもよい。同様に、第１移行面１８ａと第２移行面２０ａとの接続部分を、曲線で滑らかに連なるように形成してもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the upper wall surface of the connection portion 16 of the embodiment is aligned with the upper wall surface of the first duct portion 12 and the upper wall surface of the second duct portion 14 (installation portion 14a). It extends linearly from the first duct portion 12 toward the second duct portion 14. The first transition portion 18 in the connection portion 16 is inclined so that the lower wall surface (hereinafter, referred to as the first transition surface 18a) approaches the upper wall surface side from the upstream side to the downstream side, whereby the first transition portion 18 is formed. The vertical dimension becomes smaller as the connecting flow passage 11c of the portion 18 moves toward the downstream side. The second transition portion 20 of the connection portion 16 is such that the lower wall surface (hereinafter referred to as the second transition surface 20a) connected to the downstream side of the first transition surface 18a approaches the upper wall surface side from the upstream side to the downstream side. It is inclined, so that the vertical dimension becomes smaller as the connecting flow passage 11c of the second transition portion 20 moves toward the downstream side. The second transition surface 20a extends at a different angle from the first transition surface 18a, and the angle of the first transition surface 18a is steeper than the angle of the second transition surface 20a. In the drawing, the connection portions between the duct portions 12, 14 and the connection portion 16 are drawn at an angle so that the straight lines intersect, but the connection portions between the duct portions 12, 14 and the connection portion 16 are shown. , May be formed so as to be smoothly connected in a curved line. Similarly, the connecting portion between the first transition surface 18a and the second transition surface 20a may be formed so as to be smoothly connected by a curved line.
図５に示すように、接続部１６は、流通方向における中間位置で第１移行部１８から第２移行部２０に変わるように構成されている。また、第１移行部１８は、該第１移行部１８の接続流通路１１ｃの断面積が、第１ダクト部１２の第１流通路１１ａの断面積と同じまたは近くなるように、横寸法の変化に対応して縦寸法が変化するように設定されている。第１移行部１８は、流通方向の中間位置まで、第１流通路１１ａの下流端の断面積をほぼ一定に保ったまま断面形状の縦横が変化している。第１移行部１８の横寸法は、両側の横壁面が互いに離れることで変化するのに対して、縦寸法が、第１移行面１８ａが傾斜することによって変化する。同様に、第２移行部２０の横寸法は、両側の横壁面が互いに離れることで変化するのに対して、縦寸法が、第２移行面２０ａが傾斜することによって変化する。そして、第２移行部２０は、接続部１６の中間位置まで断面積を基準に傾斜させた第１移行面１８ａに連なる第２移行面２０ａを、第２ダクト部１４の下壁面に滑らかに連なるように繋げることで形成される。 As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting portion 16 is configured to change from the first transition portion 18 to the second transition portion 20 at an intermediate position in the distribution direction. Further, the first transition portion 18 has a lateral dimension so that the cross-sectional area of the connecting flow passage 11c of the first transition portion 18 is the same as or close to the cross-sectional area of the first flow passage 11a of the first duct portion 12. The vertical dimension is set to change in response to the change. The vertical and horizontal directions of the first transition portion 18 are changed up to the intermediate position in the distribution direction while keeping the cross-sectional area of the downstream end of the first flow passage 11a substantially constant. The horizontal dimension of the first transition portion 18 changes when the lateral wall surfaces on both sides are separated from each other, whereas the vertical dimension changes when the first transition surface 18a is inclined. Similarly, the horizontal dimension of the second transition portion 20 changes when the lateral wall surfaces on both sides are separated from each other, whereas the vertical dimension changes when the second transition surface 20a is inclined. Then, the second transition portion 20 smoothly connects the second transition surface 20a connected to the first transition surface 18a inclined with reference to the cross-sectional area to the intermediate position of the connection portion 16 to the lower wall surface of the second duct portion 14. It is formed by connecting like this.
前述したダクト１０は、第１ダクト部１２と第１ダクト部１２よりも扁平形状に形成された第２ダクト部１４とを繋ぐ接続部１６を、接続流通路１１ｃにおける上流側の縦寸法の縮小変化を急にしている。一方、接続流通路１１ｃにおける下流側の縦寸法の縮小変化を緩くすることで、接続部１６の横壁面に沿う空気(流体)の流れの剥離を抑えることができる。これにより、ダクト１０は、第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂの横方向において空気を均一に流通させることができる。従って、ダクト１０によれば、第２ダクト部１４に設置されたヒートシンクＨＳを、第２流通路１１ｂに流通する空気によって効率よく冷却することができる。そして、ダクト１０は、扁平形状の第２ダクト部１４に変化させても該第２ダクト部１４で空気を均一に流通させることができるので、第１ダクト部１２を、圧力損失を低減し得る断面形状など、第２ダクト部１４と異なる自由な形状で形成することができる。 In the duct 10 described above, the connecting portion 16 connecting the first duct portion 12 and the second duct portion 14 formed in a flatter shape than the first duct portion 12 is reduced in the vertical dimension on the upstream side in the connecting flow passage 11c. The change is rapid. On the other hand, by relaxing the reduction change of the vertical dimension on the downstream side in the connecting flow passage 11c, it is possible to suppress the separation of the air (fluid) flow along the lateral wall surface of the connecting portion 16. As a result, the duct 10 can uniformly circulate air in the lateral direction of the second flow passage 11b of the second duct portion 14. Therefore, according to the duct 10, the heat sink HS installed in the second duct portion 14 can be efficiently cooled by the air flowing through the second flow passage 11b. Then, even if the duct 10 is changed to the flat second duct portion 14, air can be uniformly circulated through the second duct portion 14, so that the pressure loss of the first duct portion 12 can be reduced. It can be formed in a free shape different from that of the second duct portion 14, such as a cross-sectional shape.
ダクト１０は、接続部１６の流通方向における中間位置で第１移行部１８から第２移行部２０に変わるように構成することで、接続部１６の縦方向での空気の剥離を抑えて、第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂにおいて空気を均一に流通させることができる。 By configuring the duct 10 so as to change from the first transition portion 18 to the second transition portion 20 at an intermediate position in the distribution direction of the connection portion 16, the separation of air in the vertical direction of the connection portion 16 is suppressed, and the first 2 Air can be uniformly circulated in the second flow passage 11b of the duct portion 14.
第１移行部１８は、該第１移行部１８の接続流通路１１ｃの断面積が、第１ダクト部１２の第１流通路１１ａの断面積と同じまたは近くなるように、横寸法の変化に対応して縦寸法を変化させることで、接続部１６の横壁面に沿う空気の流れの剥離を抑えることができる。これにより、ダクト１０は、第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂの横方向において空気を均一に流通させることができる。 The first transition portion 18 is changed in lateral dimension so that the cross-sectional area of the connecting flow passage 11c of the first transition portion 18 is the same as or close to the cross-sectional area of the first flow passage 11a of the first duct portion 12. By changing the vertical dimension correspondingly, it is possible to suppress the separation of the air flow along the lateral wall surface of the connecting portion 16. As a result, the duct 10 can uniformly circulate air in the lateral direction of the second flow passage 11b of the second duct portion 14.
（流体解析）
流体解析によって、風速分布を算出することでダクトの形状の検証を行った。図６に示すように、解析例に係るダクト１０は、第１ダクト部１２の第１流通路１１ａの横寸法、第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂの横寸法は何れも同じであり、接続部１６の横壁面が上流側から下流側へ向かうにつれて互いに離れるように対称な関係で延在している。なお、接続部１６の横寸法は、接続部１６の流通方向中間位置(Ｐ２)の値であり、何れの解析例でも同じである。Ｐ１は、第１ダクト部１２の下流端であり、Ｐ２は、接続部１６の流通方向中間位置であって接続部１６の下壁面の傾斜が切り替わる位置であり、Ｐ３は、第２ダクト部１４の上流端である。なお、解析例のダクト１０は、上壁面が直線的に延在している。解析例１〜４の横寸法、縦寸法および断面積は、表１に記載の通りである。
(Fluid analysis)
The shape of the duct was verified by calculating the wind speed distribution by fluid analysis. As shown in FIG. 6, in the duct 10 according to the analysis example, the lateral dimension of the first flow passage 11a of the first duct portion 12 and the lateral dimension of the second flow passage 11b of the second duct portion 14 are the same. , The lateral wall surface of the connecting portion 16 extends in a symmetrical relationship so as to be separated from each other from the upstream side to the downstream side. The horizontal dimension of the connecting portion 16 is the value of the intermediate position (P2) in the distribution direction of the connecting portion 16, and is the same in all the analysis examples. P1 is the downstream end of the first duct portion 12, P2 is the intermediate position of the connection portion 16 in the distribution direction, and P3 is the position where the inclination of the lower wall surface of the connection portion 16 is switched, and P3 is the second duct portion 14. It is the upstream end of. The upper wall surface of the duct 10 in the analysis example extends linearly. The horizontal dimensions, vertical dimensions, and cross-sectional areas of Analysis Examples 1 to 4 are as shown in Table 1.
流体解析(定常解析)の条件は、次の通りである。定常解析において、ダクト１０の入口側(圧力測定面)の流量を３０ｍ３／ｈｒとし、ダクト１０の出口側(流体流出面)の圧力を０Ｐａとした。ＥＣＵを冷却するヒートシンクＨＳが配置される第２ダクト部１４の第２流通路１１ｂは、幅２００ｍｍ×長さ１５０ｍｍ×高さ１５ｍｍである。第２流通路１１ｂの空気(流体)の流通方向と直交する方向における断面積は３０００ｍｍ２であり、第２流通路１１ｂ内に配置されたヒートシンクＨＳの断面積は１５１０ｍｍ２であるので、第２流通路１１ｂにおいて空気が流通可能な断面積は１４９０ｍｍ２である。上記の条件から、第２流通路１１ｂ内の平均流速の理論値は、５．６ｍ／ｓである。 The conditions for fluid analysis (steady state analysis) are as follows. In the steady-state analysis, the flow rate on the inlet side (pressure measurement surface) of the duct 10 was set to 30 m 3 / hr, and the pressure on the outlet side (fluid outflow surface) of the duct 10 was set to 0 Pa. The second flow passage 11b of the second duct portion 14 in which the heat sink HS for cooling the ECU is arranged has a width of 200 mm, a length of 150 mm, and a height of 15 mm. Since the cross-sectional area in the direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the air (fluid) in the second flow path 11b is 3000 mm 2, the cross-sectional area of the arranged heat sink HS to the second flow path 11b is a 1510Mm 2, second The cross-sectional area through which air can flow in the flow passage 11b is 1490 mm 2 . From the above conditions, the theoretical value of the average flow velocity in the second flow passage 11b is 5.6 m / s.
表１に示すように、第１移行部１８の縦寸法の変化を緩くして第２移行部２０の縦寸法の変化を急に設定した解析例４および接続部１６の上流から下流にかけて縦寸法の変化量を同じにした解析例３は、第２ダクト部１４のヒートシンクＨＳが配置されている領域において、流速５．６ｍ／ｓの領域の割合が、それぞれ６２％、６６％となっている。これに対して、解析例１および解析例２は、第２ダクト部１４のヒートシンクＨＳが配置されている領域において、流速５．６ｍ／ｓの領域の割合がそれぞれ８４％、７４％となっており、空気の流れが解析例３および解析例４に比べて均一になっていることが判る。そして、解析例１が示すように、第１移行部１８の接続流通路１１ｃの断面積が、第１ダクト部１２の第１流通路１１ａの断面積と同じになるように、横寸法の変化に対応して縦寸法を変化させることで、第２ダクト部１４のヒートシンクＨＳが配置されている領域において、空気の流れを均一にすることができることが判る。 As shown in Table 1, the analysis example 4 in which the change in the vertical dimension of the first transition portion 18 is relaxed and the change in the vertical dimension of the second transition portion 20 is suddenly set, and the vertical dimension from the upstream to the downstream of the connection portion 16. In Analysis Example 3 in which the amount of change is the same, the ratios of the regions having a flow velocity of 5.6 m / s in the regions where the heat sink HS of the second duct portion 14 is arranged are 62% and 66%, respectively. .. On the other hand, in Analysis Example 1 and Analysis Example 2, the ratios of the regions having a flow velocity of 5.6 m / s were 84% and 74%, respectively, in the regions where the heat sink HS of the second duct portion 14 was arranged. It can be seen that the air flow is more uniform than that of Analysis Example 3 and Analysis Example 4. Then, as shown in Analysis Example 1, the lateral dimension is changed so that the cross-sectional area of the connecting flow passage 11c of the first transition portion 18 is the same as the cross-sectional area of the first flow passage 11a of the first duct portion 12. It can be seen that the air flow can be made uniform in the area where the heat sink HS of the second duct portion 14 is arranged by changing the vertical dimension corresponding to.
