As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, air is taken in from the rear surface of the housing,
As the transformer 24 is cooled, air is passed between the fins of the heat radiating plate 22 attached to the upper part of the housing while being cooled, and is discharged to the outside of the housing through the ventilation holes 27 formed in the upper cover 21. In this case, the rotation speed of the fan 25 was always constant, and was rotating at a higher speed than when the power was turned on.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-described conventional cooling device, since a fan is attached to the rear surface, fresh air cannot be taken in at the time of rack mounting, and the air flow through the fins of the heat radiating plate does not occur. Since it is horizontal, it is not possible to utilize the rising force of the air having thermal energy, and the air is swept out only by the wind pressure of the fan, which causes a problem that efficient cooling cannot be performed. Further, since the fan speed is always constant and rotates at high speed, there is a problem of noise when using the equipment.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention introduces fresh air into a housing by a fan mounted on the front surface and cools the transformer, and at the same time, the air is supplied to a chassis, a cover, and a radiator plate. Guide the air to the air path created by the above, and raise the air along the fins of the heat dissipation plate so that the air is blown out from the ventilation holes provided on the top and side surfaces. A temperature sensor is provided on the surface of the fan to control the speed of the fan by this temperature detection.When the transistor is not loaded and the temperature is low, the fan rotates slowly at low speed and a large load is applied to the transistor. When the temperature rises, the fan is configured to rotate at high speed.

Action The present invention has the following actions due to the above-mentioned configuration. That is, the air taken in by the fan is passed through the gap between the chassis formed on the bottom surface of the housing and the radiator plate. Here, by utilizing the principle that air with thermal energy rises, the passage of the air created by the fins and the cover of the heat sink can be raised to cool the heat sink efficiently, and moreover, it is mounted on the surface of the transistor. The temperature sensor detects the temperature in the housing and has the effect of freely controlling the speed of the fan from high speed to low speed and from low speed to high speed.
