ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18230621 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a housing, fan, air passage, and fin.
- The electronic device has a housing with a first and second principal surface, and a side surface connecting them.
- Inside the housing, there is a fan that helps circulate air.
- An air passage is also present inside the housing, allowing air from the fan to pass through.
- A fin is placed in the air passage to enhance heat dissipation.
- The air passage extends from the fan towards the side surface of the housing.
- The housing has a recess on the second principal surface, which extends towards the side surface and overlaps with the air passage.
- The recess has a surface facing the first principal surface and a side surface closer to the fin than the side surface of the housing.
- This design helps improve the airflow and cooling efficiency of the electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a housing that has a first principal surface, a second principal surface on an opposite side of the first principal surface, and a side surface connecting the first principal surface and the second principal surface; a fan disposed inside the housing; an air passage disposed inside the housing and through which air sent from the fan passes; and a fin disposed in the air passage. The air passage extends from the fan toward the side surface. The housing has a recess recessed from the second principal surface toward the first principal surface and extending toward the side surface, at a position overlapping with the air passage in a plan view. The recess has a recessed surface facing the first principal surface, and a recess side surface positioned nearer to the fin than the side surface is in an extending direction of the air passage.
