Abstract

According to one embodiment, a cooling device includes a heat diffusion plate, a heat receiving portion, a heat sink and a heat pipe. The heat receiving portion is provided on the heat diffusion plate and thermally connected to an object to be cooled. The heat sink is provided on the heat diffusion plate, and it releases the heat of the heat receiving portion to outside. The heat pipe has a first end portion to be connected to the heat receiving portion and a second end portion located on an opposite side to the first end portion and to be connected to the heat sink.

Claims (2)

1. An electronic device comprising: a housing; a cooling device in the housing; and a printed circuit board in the housing and comprising a heat generating part, a first surface facing the cooling device, a second surface on an opposite side to the first surface, and an opening portion, wherein the cooling device further comprising: a heat diffusion plate comprising a third surface facing the printed circuit board, a heat receiving portion on the heat diffusion plate and thermally connected to the heat generating part, a heat sink on the heat diffusion plate, that releases, heat from the heat receiving portion to outside, a heat pipe comprising a first end portion to be connected to the heat receiving portion and a second end portion on an opposite side to the first end portion and to be connected to the heat sink, and a fan unit that promotes heat radiation of the heat sink on the heat diffusion plate, the fan unit being arranged within a height defined by the second surface and the third surface and a part of the fan unit is in the interior of the opening portion.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a connecting mechanism in the housing, which fixes the cooling device to a stud, wherein the printed circuit board comprises the stud for installing the cooling device, the heat diffusion plate comprises a step portion which is bent to form a recess; the cooling device is arranged between the printed circuit board and the connecting mechanism, and the connecting mechanism is opposed to the heat diffusion plate in the recess.
