Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the constituent elements described in the following examples are merely examples, and the technical scope of the present invention is not intended to be limited thereto.

(composition)
First, the overall configuration of a cooling device 1 for a smartphone according to the present invention will be described using FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the smartphone cooling device 1 of the present invention includes a casing 20 and a blower fan 30 housed in the casing 20. Note that the planar shape of the casing 20 can be changed as appropriate depending on the shape and size of the smartphone P. Although not shown, as a power source for the blower fan 30, a smartphone battery (storage battery) or the like can be used.

The casing 20 is formed of synthetic resin into a thin case shape (container shape). The casing 20 mainly includes a fan accommodating section 21 that accommodates the blower fan 30, a contact opening 23, and a constricted section 22 located between the two. The casing 20 preferably has a thickness of 3 mm to 25 mm when viewed in the out-of-plane direction of the smartphone P (direction perpendicular to the screen). More preferably, the thickness is 3 mm to 10 mm.

An inlet 24, which is a circular opening, is formed on one side of the fan accommodating portion 21, and a blower fan 30 is installed corresponding to the inlet 24. The constricted portion 22 adjacent to the fan accommodating portion 21 is formed by narrowing the left and right widths of the casing 20. By forming the constricted portion 22 in this manner, it becomes easier to fit into the smartphone holder (5) (as described later).

The casing 20 also has an inlet 24, an outlet 25, and a contact opening 23 as openings communicating with the outside. The outlet 25 is formed on the side (front) of the casing 20 near the contact opening 23 .

The contact opening 23 is open between the inlet 24 and the outlet 25 of the casing 20 on the surface that comes into contact with the smartphone P. Although not shown, a protrusion (a protrusion shaped like a jump board with width on the left and right) for directing the airflow toward the smartphone P is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom surface of the casing 20 facing the contact opening 23. It is also preferable.

This contact opening 23 is formed in the form of a grid window by intersecting the vertical and horizontal members. Therefore, an opening having a relatively large area is formed on the surface facing the smartphone P, and the opening has the necessary rigidity (strength). Having such a relatively wide opening area makes it easier to accommodate the slightly different heat generating parts of each smartphone model.

As the blower fan 30, various shapes can be adopted. As the ventilation fan 30, for example, a so-called fan or a blower can be used, but any structure may be used as long as it can blow air. Since the smartphone cooling device 1 is thin as a whole, it is preferable that the blower fan 30 itself is also thin. However, in this embodiment, since the blower fan 30 is located outside the smartphone holder 5 as described later, the thickness of the blower fan 30 is irrelevant in that sense.

In the smartphone cooling device 1 of this embodiment, the above-mentioned blower fan 30 and contact opening 23 are disposed at different positions when viewed from the surface of the smartphone P while in contact with the smartphone P. There is. That is, the contact opening 23 is arranged so as to exactly overlap the smartphone P, but the sending fan 30 is arranged so as not to overlap the smartphone P.

In addition, in actual use, the smartphone cooling device 1 is a smartphone holder 5 attached to the handlebar of a motorcycle or bicycle, in addition to the smartphone cooling device 1. It is used as a set with a smartphone holder 5 that is designed to be grasped.

The smartphone cooling system S of this embodiment is constituted by the smartphone cooling device 1 and the smartphone holder 5. More specifically, the smartphone cooling system S is completed by sandwiching the thin smartphone cooling device 1 between the smartphone holder 5 and the smartphone P.

In this case, especially if the smartphone cooling device 1 is equipped with a constricted part 22, the constricted part 22 is fitted between the holder claws 51, 51, so that it can be held securely. It has become.
