    Abstract: Electronic equipment 100 includes a circuit board 10, a first housing 20, and a deformation suppressing portion 30. A heating element H is mounted on the circuit board 10. The first housing 20 is mounted on a first main surface 11 of the circuit board 10 in such a way that the heating element H and a coolant COO are sealed with respect to the first main surface 11. The deformation suppressing portion 30 suppresses deformation of the circuit board 10. According to this configuration, it is possible to suppress a failure such as leakage of a coolant and cutting of a wiring formed on a circuit board, even when a heating element and a coolant are sealed in a space surrounded by the circuit board and a housing.

  • Patent number: 9870973
    Abstract: Heat dissipaters 120a, 120b are thermally coupled to a memory 220 and a CPU 230 (heat generating components) disposed on a top surface (a first surface) of a substrate 210. A frame 130 is thermally conductive and is attached above the top surface of the substrate 210. Openings 131 are formed in locations corresponding to locations in the frame 130 where the heat dissipaters 120a, 120b are provided. Elastic rubber elements 150 are thermally conductive and flexible, and thermally couple the heat dissipaters 120a, 120b to the frame 130. This configuration is capable of dissipating heat generated by the heat generating components even when the heat generating components generate amounts of heat that exceed the heat dissipation ability of the heat dissipaters thermally coupled to the heat generating components.

  • Patent number: 8240965
    Abstract: A mounting structure is provided which is capable of easily attaching a heat sink irrespective of a thickness of an LSI (Large-Scale Integration circuit) mounted on a printed circuit board. Each female screw metal fitting of each female screw portion is attached on an upper surface of a cylindrical gel in a stacked manner and a lower surface of the cylindrical gel is attached to the printed circuit board. An end portion of each male screw is made to pass through each through-hole of the heat sink so as to be screwed into each of the female screw portions. With a progress of screwing therein, each of the female screw portions is elevated and the cylindrical gel is pulled and elongated. Since a restoring force occurs when the cylindrical gel is elongated, the heat sink is pulled by each of the female screw portions toward the LSI. Thus, variations in height can be accommodated.
