いる。2. Description of the Related Art In general, a fan is installed inside a device for the purpose of securing ventilation inside the device and preventing a rise in temperature. In order to avoid danger such as pinching of a finger, the ventilation opening has a shape that limits the size of an object passing through the ventilation opening.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】ところで、ファン動作
時の風切り音を低減するために、通風口は、開口率の高

とが望ましい。開口率の高い通風口としては、細い金属
棒で組み立てた網状の物が良く用いられるが、その構造
上製作費用がかさみやすく、また機器の筐体とは別部品
であるため、複数のネジで取り付けるなどの組立時の工
数が必要になる。However, in order to reduce the wind noise during the operation of the fan, it is desirable that the ventilation opening has a shape with a high aperture ratio or is installed as far away from the fan as possible. As a ventilation opening with a high aperture ratio, a mesh-like object assembled with a thin metal rod is often used.However, due to its structure, the manufacturing cost is high and it is a separate part from the equipment housing. Man-hours for assembly such as mounting are required.

えられる。On the other hand, by forming a plurality of holes in a part of the housing of the device to form a ventilation hole, manufacturing costs and man-hours during assembly can be reduced. Since it is difficult to increase the ratio to a certain level or more, it is necessary to arrange the fan away from the fan when it is desired to reduce the wind noise of the fan. In this case, avoiding the protrusion to the outside of the rear part of the ventilation means that the fan is installed at a position closer to the inside of the device, which undesirably presses other components inside the device. If the ventilation opening protrudes to the outside of the device to keep the distance from the fan, the ventilation opening may be easily blocked by the desk or wall where the device is located, and a sufficient cooling effect may not be expected. Conceivable.
