Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance natural cooling effect by providing a base arranged substantially in vertical to receive heat transmitted from a heating body, and a plurality of fins projecting from the surface of the base while being arranged vertically through an interval. CONSTITUTION:A base section 12 is provided, on the surface thereof, with three stages of fin sections 14, 15, 16 each comprising a plurality of fins arranged laterally at same intervals. The fin section 15 comprises fins aligned through an interval La with the fins constituting the fin section 14. Similarly, the fin section 16 comprises fins aligned through an interval Lb with the fins constituting the fin section 15. Since growth of heat transmission border layers (r), (s), (t) of air flow in the longitudinal direction of fins is interrupted at the gaps La, Lb, transmission of heat from the fins to cooling air flow is not decreased and thereby cooling effect is enhanced.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of radiator receives a heat flux from a heating element by a base having a structure having a high thermal conductivity. Then, the heat flux from the base is dispersed into a plurality of fins and is radiated from the fin surfaces into the air. In this case, in the natural air-cooled radiator, the air flows from the lower side to the upper side. Further, in forced air cooling in which a fan is rotated by a motor, the air flow direction is often directed from horizontal or downward to upward.

The heat radiation plate of a naturally air-cooled device determines the heat radiation area of the base, fins, etc. according to the amount of heat generated by the electronic parts on which the heat radiator is mounted. By the way, in the case of natural air cooling, there are limitations on the depth, width, etc. of the device on which the radiator is mounted. Therefore, in order to secure a heat dissipation area for obtaining a target heat dissipation effect, it is necessary to increase the area of the radiator in the horizontal direction as well as in the height direction.
