The pressing assembly has: a base assembly relatively fixed to the chassis; and a bridge section that is provided integrally with the base assembly and placed on a surface of the thin plate section in such a manner as to extend over the heat pipe in a width direction.

Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes: a fan having a motor that rotates around a central axis, and a plurality of blades provided on an outer periphery of the motor; and a casing which accommodates the fan, and has an intake port provided in the axial direction of the central axis, and an exhaust port provided in a direction orthogonal to the central axis, wherein an end surface of each of the plurality of blades that faces the intake port is provided with an inclined portion that inclines such that a height thereof in the axial direction gradually decreases toward the motor, and the plurality of blades include a plurality of blade groups having different start point positions at which the inclined portions start to incline in a direction from the tips of the blades toward the motor.

Abstract: A cooling module includes a fan, a heat sink, and a first heat pipe and a second heat pipe that are connected to a first surface of the heat sink. The heat sink includes a valley portion in which the second surface is recessed toward a side of the first surface, a first mountain portion that is between the valley portion and the air introduction surface and has a greater height of the fin than the valley portion, and a second mountain portion that is between the valley portion and the air exhaust surface and has a greater height of the fin than the valley portion. The first mountain portion is disposed at a position overlapping the first heat pipe, and the second mountain portion is disposed at a position overlapping the second heat pipe.

Abstract: A vapor chamber includes: a first metal plate; a second metal plate having an outer edge portion joined to the first metal plate and forming a sealed space in which working fluid is enclosed, the sealed space being formed between the first metal plate and the second metal plate; and a wick stored inside the sealed space. The first metal plate has a through-hole communicating with the sealed space, and the vapor chamber further includes a metal block inserted into the through-hole and joined to the first metal plate to seal the through-hole, the metal block having an outer surface formed flat on a side opposite to a side facing the sealed space.

Abstract: A cooling module includes: a fan having a fan housing with an intake port and an exhaust port; a fin that faces the exhaust port of the fan; a heat pipe connected to a surface of the fin; and a plate-shaped vapor chamber having a first surface and a second surface, the heat pipe being connected to the first surface while straddling one edge of the vapor chamber, the second surface at the one edge being connected to the surface of the fin to be parallel with the heat pipe, so that the one edge is disposed between the heat pipe and the fin.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis; a first and a second heat generating elements which are placed with a step between surfaces thereof; and a cooling module that absorbs heat generated by the first and the second heat generating elements. The cooling module has: a first heat pipe having a first surface thereof connected to a surface of the first heat generating element; a plate-shaped vapor chamber having a first surface thereof connected to a surface of the second heat generating element and a second surface of the first heat pipe; a second heat pipe which is connected to a second surface of the vapor chamber and overlaps the second heat generating element; a first fin connected to the first heat pipe; and a second fin connected to the second heat pipe.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis; a heating element; a cooling module having a fan, a heat sink, and a heat transport device, the cooling module being configured to cool the heating element. The heat sink includes: a base plate; a plurality of fins standing from the base plate and placed with a gap between the fins to define an air channel through which air from the air outlet flows; and an inclined plate dividing the air channel in two stages in the standing direction of the fins and being gradually inclined from upstream to downstream of the air channel.
