効果は一層低下する。For this reason, in electronic computers where a large number of modules are used, high cooling performance is required when cooling these modules with air. If it is,
If the heat output of each module is approximately the same and these modules are cooled in series with the same air flow, the module on the upstream side of the air flow will be cooled with cold air, so it will not be sufficiently cooled. However, the downstream module is cooled by the air whose temperature has increased by cooling the upstream module, so a sufficient cooling effect cannot be obtained.Moreover, when the air passes through the fins, 1. Due to the ventilation resistance, the flow velocity of the air on the downstream side is slowed down, and the cooling effect is further reduced.

が生じる。In order to improve the cooling effect of air cooling, it is possible to increase the air flow velocity or increase the area of the fins, but in the former case, the fan becomes larger and the fan noise increases. - In the latter case, problems such as a decrease in strength reliability and an increase in cost arise due to the increase in fin weight.

向へ相 。In order to achieve the above object, the cooling structure for electronic equipment of the present invention provides individual cooling fins on the upper surfaces of heating elements arranged in multiple rows, and allows air to flow parallel to the upper surfaces of the heating elements. In the cooling structure for an electronic device that cools the heating element by air cooling the fins, the height of the fins is adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the air flow for each row of the heating elements.
違させて前記フィンの略全面に空気を当てる構成とした
ものである。The structure is such that air is applied to substantially the entire surface of the fins.

空気の流速は全てほぼ同等となり、全てのモジュールは
均一に冷却される。According to the above configuration, the arrangement height of the fins provided on one heating element is different for each row, so when cooling air is flowed parallel to the top surface of one heating element, fresh air is distributed over almost the entire surface of each fin. The cold air hits the heating elements in every row, and the heating elements are sufficiently cooled. Furthermore, since the air accelerated by the fan directly hits every fin, the flow velocity of the air passing through the fins is approximately the same, and all modules are cooled uniformly.

A box-shaped evaporator 20 is provided on the upper surface of the module cap 14 in contact with the module cap 14, and a refrigerant liquid 2LL is stored inside the evaporator 20. A two-phase flow pipe 22 is provided upright above the evaporator 20, and a large number of cooling fins are attached to this two-phase flow pipe 22. Note that a module in which the semiconductor element 2 on the substrate 1 is housed within the module cap 14 is referred to as a module 4.
以上の説明では、モジュール4が空気24の流れに対し

3′の配置高さは前述のフィン23よりも略倍の高さの
所に形成されている。The structure of the downstream module 4' is similar to that of the upstream module 4.
, but the two-phase flow pipe 22' provided above it
has a length approximately twice as long as the two-phase flow tube 22 described above. Then, the fin 2 attached to the two-phase flow pipe 22'
The height of the fins 3' is approximately twice the height of the fins 23 described above.

In the figure, 4a, 4-b, 4c... indicate modules on the upstream side, and 4a', 4b', 4c'... indicate modules on the downstream side. In addition, 24 at 24
b v 24 c... is the flow of air.
次に本実施例の作用について第3図および第4図を用い
て説明する。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 3 and 4.

20に戻る。First, in the upstream module 4, heat generated in the semiconductor element 2 is transmitted to the module cap 14 via the flexible heat conductor 3, and further to the evaporation section 20. Evaporation section 2
The refrigerant 21L inside 0 is heated by this heat and evaporates.
The refrigerant vapor 21G rises inside the two-phase flow tube 22, and at this time, the heat of the refrigerant gas 21G is conducted to the fins 23. on the other hand,
When the cooling air 24 is applied to the fins 23, the fins 23
As the heat in the fins 23 is cooled by the air through surface heat transfer, the refrigerant 21G in the two-phase flow tube 22 also changes from gas to liquid, flows down the two-phase flow tube 22 due to gravity, and reaches the evaporator 20. return.

3′には新鮮な空気が当たることになる。Note that the downstream module 4' is also cooled in the same manner as the upstream module 4'. In this case, since the height of the fins 23' provided on the downstream module 4' is higher than the fins 23 on the upstream side, the air that has passed through the fins 23 passes under the fins 23' and
3' will be exposed to fresh air.
本実施例によれば、フィン23に当たった空気は、フィ

風抵抗は小さく、冷却ファンを大型化する必要はない。According to this embodiment, the air that hits the fins 23 does not hit other fins after passing through the fins 23, so the ventilation resistance is small and there is no need to increase the size of the cooling fan.

In this embodiment, the height position of the fins with respect to the air flow is reversed from that of the above-mentioned embodiment. The same as the above-mentioned embodiment: FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment, in which the length of the upstream two-phase flow pipe 22a and the downstream two-phase flow pipe 22b are the same. It is.
本実施例によれば、二相流管22a、22bを共通化で
きるので、コスト低減させることができる。According to this embodiment, the two-phase flow tubes 22a and 22b can be used in common, so that costs can be reduced.

It is possible to cool it down. Further, even if the heat generation amount of the heating element is large, there is no need to increase the fin area so much that the cooling device can be made smaller.
