  In the above-described conventional cooling device, in order to keep the ambient temperature of the heating element (for example, a semiconductor) arranged in the cabinet below a predetermined temperature, a large amount of cooling air has to flow. In other words, since the heating element that dislikes the high temperature environment is distributed and arranged in the cabinet, the cooling air becomes a high temperature due to the heat generated by the heating element depending on where it is arranged, and the heating element cannot be cooled. An element will be created. Therefore, in order to keep the temperature below a predetermined temperature everywhere in the cabinet, cooling is conventionally performed by increasing the air volume of the cooling device. For this reason, the first blower 112 for the outside air and the second blower 113 for the inside of the cabinet use a blower having a large capacity, resulting in an increase in the size of the cooling device.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cooling device 6 includes a first air inlet 7 for the outside air (first environment), a first outlet 8, and a second inside the cabinet 4 (second environment, hereinafter referred to as inside air). A main body case 11 having an intake port 9 and a second discharge port 10, a first blower fan 12 for the outside air provided in the main body case 11, and a second blower fan 13 for the inside of the cabinet 4, that is, the inside air, The main body case 11 includes a heat exchanger 14 that performs heat exchange between outside air and inside air. The 1st ventilation fan 12, the heat exchanger 14, and the 2nd ventilation fan 13 are arranged in a line from the bottom in this order.

  Although not shown in detail, the heat exchanger 14 has a rectangular configuration in which a plurality of synthetic resin plates are polymerized in a state of being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. A plurality of rectifying walls are provided on the surface of the plate body to partition the surface into lanes. Between the superposed plates, air in the first environment (outside air) and air in the second environment (inside air) are alternately flowed to perform heat exchange between the cold outside air and the warm inside air.

  Now, according to the cooling device 6 as described above, the air (inside air) that has been heated by the transmitter / receiver 5 in the cabinet 4 is sucked into the second blower fan 13 from the second air inlet 9 of the cooling device 6. Is done. The air blown out from the second blower fan 13 is sent to the heat exchanger 14. On the other hand, the cold outside air is sucked from the first air inlet 7 by the operation of the first blower fan 12 and further sent to the heat exchanger 14.

It will be released again to the outside air.

  Next, the configuration within the cabinet 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, a transmitter / receiver 5 provided on a substrate is provided in the cabinet 4 so as to be inserted from the cooling device 6 side (door side) with the substrate surface vertical. The substrates are arranged substantially in parallel. On the cooling device 6 side of the cabinet 4, an air discharge port 9 a that communicates with the second intake port 9 of the cooling device 6 and an air intake port 10 a that communicates with the second discharge port 10 of the cooling device 6 are provided. In the cabinet 4, the partition plate 16 that partitions the back surface 15 side of the cabinet 4, that is, the side facing the cooling device 6 (heat dissipating part 17) and the part provided with the transmitter / receiver 5 (heat generating part 18). Is provided. The partition plate 16 does not completely divide the heat radiating part 17 and the heat generating part 18, and an opening 19 is provided below the heat radiating part 17 and the heat generating part 18. A first circulation fan 20 that circulates the air in the cabinet 4 is provided above the heat radiating unit 17 and communicates with the air discharge port 9a (the second air intake port 9 of the cooling device 6). On the other hand, in order to circulate the air in the cabinet 4 also in the upper part of the heat generating part 18, a second circulation fan 21 is provided and communicates with the air discharge port 9a (the second air intake port 9 of the cooling device 6). .

  As shown in FIG. 4, the substrate 28 provided with the transmitter / receiver 5 generates heat generated from the substrate body 23 provided with the heating element 22, the heat radiating plate 24, and the heating element 22. It comprises heat transfer means 25 that receives and guides it to the heat sink 24. As the heat transfer means 25, for example, a heat pipe is used. The heat transfer means 25 is subjected to a heat insulation process so that heat is not released into the heat generating portion 18. As shown in FIG. 5, the substrate 28 is inserted from the opening side of the cabinet 4 with the heat radiating plate 24 side as the back side. The partition plate 16 is provided with a substrate insertion hole 26, and the heat sink 24 is passed through the substrate insertion hole 26. Thus, the heat radiating plate 24 is disposed in the heat radiating portion 17 and the substrate body 23 is disposed in the heat generating portion 18. As shown in FIG. 6, the heat radiating plate 24 protrudes from the heat radiating portion 17 so as to be parallel to the vertical direction.

  In the above configuration, the flow of air in the cabinet 4 will be described. The air cooled in the cooling device 6 is sent from the air intake port 10 a (second discharge port 10) of the cabinet 4 to the heat generating part 18 in the cabinet 4. In the heat generating part 18, a part of the cooling air is raised by the second circulation fan 21, and the heat generating part 18 is cooled as it is, to the air discharge port 9a (the second air intake port 9 of the cooling device 6). It will be sent (1st ventilation path). On the other hand, the remainder of the air that has flowed into the heat generating portion 18 is sucked into the heat radiating portion 17 from the opening 19 provided below the partition plate 16 by the operation of the first circulation fan 20. This cooling air ascends the heat radiating portion 17 and is sent from the first circulation fan 20 to the air discharge port 9a (second air intake port 9 of the cooling device 6) (second air supply path). On the other hand, the heat transfer means 25 moves the heat generated from the heating element 22 to the heat radiating plate 24, and the heat radiating portion 17 is at a high temperature. The inside of the cabinet 4 is cooled by the passage of the cooling air sucked into the heat radiating portion 17 having a high temperature.

  Thus, most of the heat generated from the heating element 22 of the transmitter / receiver 5 in the cabinet 4 is collected by the heat transfer means 25 in the heat radiating portion 17 and is cooled by the cooling air in the heat radiating portion 17. Therefore, an increase in the ambient temperature of the heat generating element 22 located downstream due to the influence of the heat generating element 22 positioned upstream can be suppressed, and since the heat generating element 22 does not exist downstream of the heat dissipating part 17, the heat dissipating part 17. The downstream temperature can be higher than that of the conventional cabinet, and the air in the cabinet 4 supplied to the cooling device 6 from the air discharge port 9a can be higher than that of the conventional cabinet. Therefore, in the cooling device 6, the temperature difference between the inside air and the outside air is increased, so that the cooling capacity is improved and the cooling device 6 can be downsized. As a result, the heating element storage device 3 can be downsized. it can.

  In FIG. 7, the substrate body 29 provided with the transmitter / receiver 5 has a heat transfer function. The heating element 22 on the substrate body 29 is in close contact with the substrate body 29 so as to facilitate heat transfer. A heat sink 24 is provided at the tip of the substrate body 29. According to such a configuration, since the heat can be received by the entire substrate body 29, there is an effect that the heat dissipation effect is enhanced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a flange 27 is provided between the heat dissipation plate 24 and the substrate 28 so as to be joined to the substrate insertion hole 26. A packing may be provided around the flange 27 to closely fit the board insertion hole 26 so as to partition the heat radiating portion 17 and the heat generating portion 18.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the outer periphery of the flange 27 and the inner periphery of the substrate insertion hole 26 may be fitted. Furthermore, the outer peripheral side of the flange 27 may be a tapered type in which the heat radiating portion 17 side is made smaller. This taper causes the flange 27 to be brought into close contact with the board insertion hole 26 when the board 28 is pushed in. The flange 27 provided with the taper is preferably made of metal. The metal flange 27 expands due to the temperature rise of the heat generating portion 18 and the heat radiating portion 17, and the fitting density with the board insertion hole 26 becomes stronger.

  In the present embodiment, the first circulation fan 20 provided on the heat radiating unit 17 side and the second circulation fan 21 provided on the heat generating unit 18 side are provided separately, but the heat radiating unit 17 and the heat generating unit are provided. A circulation fan may be provided in the vicinity of the air discharge port 9a (second intake port 9) after the 18 air paths merge.
