- flow pipes 170 and 172 are provided at the two ends of the first heat sink part 152 . Further, at the two ends of the second heat sink part 154 , flow pipes 174 and 176 are provided at the two ends of the second heat sink part 154 . Further, the flow pipes 172 and 174 are connected by the heat discharger 156 .
- the structure of the interior part of the heat sink 150 will be explained.
- the first heat sink part 152 and the second heat sink part 154 are partitioned by a partition plate 155 . Further, the first heat sink part 152 , the second heat sink part 154 , and the heat discharger 156 are provided, inside them, with fins 158 .
- the first heat sink part 152 , the second heat sink part 154 , and the heat discharger 156 are each provided with nine fins 158 along the direction of flow of coolant.
- the fins 158 are, for example, formed by aluminum or another metal material with a high heat conductivity. For this reason, the heat which the electronic module 44 generates is conveyed to both the housings and fins 158 which form the first heat sink part 152 and the second heat sink part 154 and the heat is absorbed by the coolant.
- the heat discharger 156 is arranged spaced from the first heat sink part 152 and the second heat sink part 154 , at the opposite side from the electronic module 44 . Further, the heat discharger 156 is arranged in the flow path between the first heat sink part 152 and the second heat sink part 154 . For this reason, as illustrated by the arrows in FIG. 4 , the coolant, which flows in from the joint 104 to the heat sink 150 , passes through the flow pipe 170 , the first heat sink part 152 , the flow pipe 172 , the heat discharger 156 , the flow pipe 174 , the second heat sink part 154 , and the flow pipe 176 and flows out from the heat sink 150 .
- the coolant which flows into the heat sink 150 , passes through the flow pipe 170 and flows through the first heat sink part 152 .
- Part of the heat which is generated by the electronic module 44 is conducted to the housing of the first heat sink part 152 and the fins 158 and is absorbed by the coolant which flows through the first heat sink part 152 . Therefore, the temperature of the coolant which flows through the first heat sink part 152 rises.
- the coolant, which flows through the first heat sink part 152 and rises in temperature passes through the flow pipe 172 and flows through the heat discharger 156 .
- the heat discharger 156 is arranged spaced from the first heat sink part 152 and second heat sink part 154 , so the temperature of the coolant which flows through the heat discharger 156 falls.
- the coolant, which flows through the heat discharger 156 and falls in temperature, passes through the flow pipe 174 and flows through the second heat sink part 154 .
- Part of the heat which is generated by the electronic module 44 is conducted to the housing of the second heat sink part 154 and the fins 158 and is absorbed by the coolant which flows through the second heat sink part 154 .
- the coolant which flows through the second heat sink part 154 passes through the flow pipe 176 and flows out to the outside of the heat sink 150 .
- the heat sink 150 of the first embodiment since the coolant which was lowered in temperature by flowing through the heat discharger 156 flows through the second heat sink part 154 , the cooling efficiency of the heat sink 150 can be improved. Further, the heat discharger 156 of the first embodiment is arranged spaced from the first heat sink 152 and second heat sink 154 at an opposite side from the electronic module 44 , so even when the area of the part where the heat sink 150 can be provided is limited when viewed from a plane, the cooling efficiency of the heat sink 150 can be improved.
- an air flow is formed by the fan unit 120 . Due to the air flow through the inside of the housing body 20 , the coolant, which flows through the heat discharger 156 , is cooled more efficiently, so the heat sink 150 is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the fan unit 120 .
- the heat discharger 156 is preferably arranged at a slant with respect to the first heat sink 152 and the second heat sink 154 which are arranged aligned with each other.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view which illustrates an example where the heat sink 150 is provided with two heat dischargers 156 .
- the two heat dischargers 156 are arranged spaced from the first heat sink part 152 and the second heat sink part 154 at an opposite side from the electronic module 44 .
- the heat sink 150 is provided with two heat dischargers 156 , the cooling efficiency of the coolant which flows through the heat discharger 156 is improved compared with the case where the heat sink 150 is provided with one heat discharger 156 .
- FIG. 7A is a perspective view which illustrates an example of the heat sink 150 of the second embodiment

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 7B , the normal of the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the heat discharger 156 is slanted with respect to the normal of the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the first heat sink part 152 . That is, the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the heat discharger 156 is slanted with respect to the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the first heat sink part 152 .
- the heat discharger 156 is provided so that the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the heat discharger 156 is slanted with respect to the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the first heat sink part 152 . Therefore, compared with the case, like in the first embodiment which was explained with reference to FIG. 4 , where the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the heat discharger 156 is parallel with respect to the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the first heat sink part 152 , in the second embodiment, it is possible to increase the surface area of the heat discharger 156 . As a result, the cooling efficiency of the coolant which flows through the heat discharger 156 is improved.
- the heat discharger 156 so that the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the heat discharger 156 is slanted with respect to the surface with the largest area in the surfaces of the first heat sink part 152 , the flow of air through the inside of the housing body 20 touches the surface of the heat discharger 156 more efficiently than the first embodiment. Therefore, the cooling efficiency of the coolant which flows through the heat discharger 156 is improved.
