  • Patent number: 6143977
    Abstract: A cooling device for a heat generating element which includes a heat sink disposed on a top surface of the element mounted on a printed circuit board, a cooling air throttling mechanism supported by a base surface of the heat sink, and a plurality of heat-radiating fins on the base surface around the throttling mechanism. A plate-shaped cover covers a top surface of the heat sink and has an opening formed at a position facing the throttling mechanism. A cooling fan unit is positioned beneath the opening and mounted to be accommodated in the throttling mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6140571
    Abstract: A cooling device mounts a fan unit above a heat sink. The heat sink is mounted on a heat-generating element or buried therein. The cooling device produces an effective air flow and achieves a uniform cooling action by having the heat sink formed in various shapes. The cooling fan is disposed away from the heat sink or to the side of the sink and is used for effective cooling through an air conduit passage formed by pipes or a cover.

  • Patent number: 6067227
    Abstract: A heat sink mounted on a heat producing element for cooling the heat producing element attached on the printed board of the electronic apparatus, having a heat sink body made of a good heat conductive material and a fan assembly installed inside the heat sink body. The heat sink body is efficiently air-cooled by a cooling air generated by the rotation of the fan assembly. The cooling air forcibly cools a base and a fixing wall of the base adjacent to the heat producing element and plate-like radiating fins or a pin-like radiating fins are protruded on the heat sink body to radiate the heat effectively. The position of the fan assembly is at the center of the heat sink body or is at the offset position from the center of the heat sink body. The heat sink of the present invention can be installed in a portable electronic apparatus such as a portable computer.
