COOLING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266747 titled 'COOLING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The cooling device described in the patent application includes a heat absorbing member with heat radiating fins, a casing covering the fins, and inflow and outflow ports for coolant circulation.

  • Heat absorbing member with heat radiating fins on one surface
  • Casing attached to the second surface covering the fins
  • Inflow and outflow ports for coolant circulation
  • Upstream flow path facing top portions of the fins
  • Downstream flow path facing end portions of the fins
  • Outflow port at one end of the casing
  • Increasing flow path cross-sectional area in the downstream direction

Potential Applications

The cooling device can be used in various electronic devices such as computers, servers, and gaming consoles to prevent overheating and improve performance.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of overheating in electronic devices, which can lead to performance issues and damage to components.

Benefits

  • Efficient cooling of electronic devices
  • Improved performance and longevity of devices
  • Compact design for easy integration into different products


Original Abstract Submitted

A cooling device includes a heat absorbing member having first and second surfaces, a plurality of heat radiating fins provided on the second surface and arranged side by side in a first direction, and a casing attached to the second surface so as to cover the heat radiating fins. The casing includes: inflow and outflow ports into which a coolant flows in and out, an upstream flow path communicating with the inflow port and facing top portions of the heat radiating fins, and a downstream flow path communicating with the outflow port, extending in the first direction, and facing end portions in the second direction of the heat radiating fins. The outflow port is provided at an end portion on one side in the first direction of the casing. A flow path cross-sectional area in the first direction of the downstream flow path increases with distance from the outflow port.
