(Embodiment 1)
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a display device used as an example of an electronic device. In addition to the function as a television receiver, an outdoor advertising display can be performed.

  Therefore, in FIG. 1, the display device 1 is installed under the eaves 3 of the store 2, that is, outdoors, and the horizontally long and rectangular (an example of a quadrilateral) display unit 4 is exposed to the front side. ing.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the display device 1 is disposed in a watertight state so as to cover a horizontally long and rectangular main body case 5 having an open front surface and a rear surface, and a front opening portion of the main body case 5. The display unit 4, the control unit 6 that controls the display unit 4, and the rear opening of the main unit case 5 are divided into the display unit 4 and the rear side of the display unit 4. 4 (a plurality of examples) of the heat dissipating units 7 that are covered in a watertight state, and a breathable back cover 8 that covers the back side of the heat dissipating unit 7 in a vented state.

  In this embodiment, as understood from FIG. 3, the four heat radiating units 7 are arranged side by side so that the back opening of the main body case 5 is covered with the four heat radiating units 7 in a watertight state. It is said.

  Further, the four heat radiating units 7 are respectively attached to the rear opening of the main body case 5 constituting the display device 1 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 and partition the inside and the outside of the main body case 5 in a watertight state. A vertically long, rectangular metal partition plate 9, a heat exchanger 10 disposed outside the main body case 5 of the partition plate 9, and a blower disposed outside the main body case 5 of the partition plate 9. 11.

  In addition, although the partition plate 9 of the four heat radiating units 7 has a vertically long rectangular shape in the present embodiment, it can be formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape or a square shape depending on the shape of the main body case 5 or the like. For example, when the four heat radiating units 7 are made into one heat radiating unit 7, the partition plate 9 becomes one horizontally long rectangular shape.

  As is understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, the four partition plates 9 are each provided with an upper vent 12 on the inner side (lower side) of the upper side, and on the lower side inner side (upper side) facing the upper side. Is provided with a lower vent 13.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the heat exchanger 10 has the upper vent 12 and the lower vent 13 connected to the partition plate 9 on the outer side of the main body case 5 with a plurality of vertically long hot air. The road body 14 is connected in a bridge shape in the vertical direction.

  That is, the hot air passage body 14 is made of synthetic resin and has a cylindrical shape, and the upper vent 12 and the lower vent 13 are in communication with each other on the outside of the main body case 5.

  Further, the upper vent 12 side and the lower vent 13 side of the plurality of hot air passage bodies 14 are gathered together, and in this gathered state, the upper is connected to the upper vent 12 and the lower is the lower vent. 13.

  And the said air blower 11 is arrange | positioned in the lower collection cylinder 14a of the some hot air path body 14. FIG.

  At this time, in this embodiment, the blower 11 is previously attached to the lower vent 13 portion of the partition plate 9, and in that state, the lower collecting cylinder 14a of the warm air passage body 14 is covered so as to cover the outer periphery of the blower 11. I am doing so.

  In addition, a ventilation space 15 is provided between the adjacent hot air passage bodies 14 in the plurality of hot air passage bodies 14.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper vent 12 and the lower vent 13 are connected in a bridge shape in the vertical direction by the vertically long hot air passage 14 so that the upper air vent 12 of the hot air passage 14 is provided. A ventilation path 16 is formed between the partition plate 9 and the outside of the main body case 5 between the lower vent 13 and the lower vent 13.

  Further, the back cover 8 is in a multi-opening state that allows ventilation in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  In the above configuration, the main body case 5 is covered with the display unit 4 at the front opening and the partition opening 9 at the rear opening in a watertight state, so that the heat of the display unit 4 and the control unit 6 is absorbed. It will be buried in the main body case 5.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the above-described heat radiating unit 7 is provided, and when the blower 11 is driven, the heat in the body case 5 is warm air as indicated by the arrow A in FIG. From the main body case 5 to the warm air passage body 14.

  Then, the warm air passage 14 is moved downward to the lower vent 13 and is blown out again into the main body case 5 by the blower 11.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the outside air that has entered as indicated by the arrow B from the multi-open rear cover 8 that can be vertically and horizontally ventilated rises along the outer surface of the warm air passage body 14. Thus, heat exchange is performed with the hot air descending in the hot air path body 14, and as a result, the hot air descending in the hot air path body 14 is cooled.

  And this cooling wind is blown by the air blower 11 from the lower vent 13 to the high temperature part of the control part 6, and this is cooled effectively.

  In the present embodiment, the hot air passage body 14 is formed of a synthetic resin. However, since the plate thickness is thin, even if the thermal conductivity of the synthetic resin is smaller than that of the metal, the heat exchange action by convection The heat exchange is sufficient.

  Further, since the warm air passage body 14 of the present embodiment is provided with the air passage 16 on the partition plate 9 side as described above, the outside air that has entered from the back cover 8 also enters the air passage 16 as indicated by the arrow C. As a result, heat exchange between the outside air and the warm air in the warm air passage body 14 can be sufficiently performed.

  7A shows a state in which the horizontally long main body case 5 is installed in the horizontally long state, while FIG. 7B shows a state in which the horizontally long main body case 5 is installed in the vertically long state.

  That is, in order to enhance the display effect, the horizontally long main body case 5 may be installed in a vertically long state as described above.

  When the horizontally long main body case 5 is installed in the vertically long state as described above, the outside air rises linearly in the ventilation passages 16 of the hot air passage bodies 14. Heat exchange with the warm air in the warm air passage body 14 can be sufficiently performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the heat of the display unit 4 and the control unit 6 confined in the main body case 5 is conveyed to the outside of the main body case 5 by the heat radiating unit 7 and is effectively cooled by the outside air. It will be.

  Moreover, since the warm air path body 14 of the heat radiating unit 7 is provided only outside the main body case 5, it is easy to reduce the weight.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the heat inside the display device 1 can be transferred to the outside of the display device 1 by the air blown by the blower 11 without providing heat radiation fins for heat radiation measures inside the display device 1 as in the prior art. Since it can be moved to the heat exchanger 10 arranged on the side to effectively dissipate heat, it is possible to reduce the weight of the heat dissipating unit and the electronic equipment using the heat dissipating unit.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the air blower 11 was arrange | positioned in the main body case 5 outer side of the partition plate 9, the inner side of the main body case 5 of the partition plate 9 will be a mere planar state, and the design arrangement | positioning freedom degree of the control part 6 will become high. .

  Furthermore, since the blower 11 is configured to blow cooling air from the lower vent 13 into the main body case 5, the blowing resistance to the blower 11 does not increase, and a large amount of cooling air can be blown to the control unit 6. And the cooling effect can be enhanced.

  Further, if the cooling air from the lower vent 13 is jetted to the high temperature part of the control unit 6, the cooling effect of the control unit 6 can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, since the air after cooling passes also for this air blower 11, the lifetime will also be extended.

  On the other hand, when the blower 11 is provided on the upper vent 12 side and air is sucked into the warm air passage body 14 from the upper vent 12 by the blower 11, the ventilation resistance is higher than that in the main body case 5. Since the blown air is pushed into the hot air passage body 14, the amount of blown air is reduced, and as a result, the cooling effect of the control unit 6 is low.

  At this time, since the air whose temperature has increased in the main body case 5 passes through the blower 11, the life of the blower 11 is shortened.

  Now that the basic structure and operation of the present embodiment have been understood from the above description, the most important features of the present embodiment will be described below.

However, as it rises along the outer surface of the hot air path body 14, heat exchange is performed with the hot air descending in the hot air path body 14, and as a result, the hot air descending in the hot air path body 14. However, depending on weather conditions and the like, the amount of outside air entering from the back cover 8 as indicated by the arrow B may not be sufficient.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the horizontally long main body case 5 is installed in the vertically long state, the blower 17 installed on the long side (right side) of the four partition plates 9 is driven.

  Since each of the blowers 17 is of a suction type, when the blower 17 is driven, outside air is sucked through the back cover 8, and then this outside air is blown to the outer surface of the warm air passage body 14. As a result, regardless of the weather conditions and the like, the outside air is always blown from the bottom to the outside on the outer surface of the hot air passage body 14, and the hot air flowing in the hot air passage body 14 is sufficiently heated. Will be exchanged.

  For this reason, the heat exchange efficiency of the warm air passage body 14 can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, air on the outside of the body case 5 of the partition plate 9 is supplied to the short side (lower side) and the long side (right side) of the four partition plates 9 as hot air paths. A plurality of blowers 17 for blowing air to the outer surface of the body 14 are provided, but the lower side and the upper side are provided as the short side, and the right side and the left side are provided as the long side, and the appropriate driving state is switched. Anyway.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the blower 17 is provided on the outside of the partition plate 9, but only the fan constituting the blower 17 is provided on the outside of the partition plate 9, and the motor constituting the blower 17 is disposed on the inside of the partition plate 9. May be provided.

  At that time, a shaft connecting the motor and the fan penetrates the partition plate 9.

  As described above, the heat dissipating unit of the present invention is mounted on one surface of an electronic device, and partitions a partition between the inside and the outside of the electronic device, and a heat exchanger disposed on the outside of the electronic device of the partition plate. The partition plate has first and second vent holes, and the heat exchanger is configured such that the first vent hole and the second vent hole are provided outside the electronic device of the partition plate.
