Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cooling a housing housing a plurality of electronic devices, for example, in a housing installed in a computer room, air controlled at a constant temperature in the computer room is taken into the housing. The structure which cools the electronic device stored in this is adopted. Further, when the housing is installed in a computer room or the like provided with air conditioning equipment under the floor, an introduction port for taking in cool air blown from the air conditioning equipment is provided near electronic devices housed in the housing. Also, there is adopted a structure in which the cooling effect of the electronic device is enhanced by the cool air flowing from the inlet.

気を取り入れることができない虞が生じる点である。A first problem is that, when cooling a housing installed in a computer room, electronic equipment to be stored is cooled by taking in air in the computer room. Since the air in the computer room also includes hot air discharged from other devices, it cannot always maintain a good cold air condition, and cools electronic devices housed in the housing. There is a possibility that sufficient cold air cannot be taken in.

Although it does have a cooling effect, it is necessary to change the ceiling plate and floor plate to a special shape, and a drive device such as a louver and a fan installed on the gate for mounting electronic components is required, which complicates the structure. There was a problem that it became large.
