Abstract

An electronic device that includes a cabinet having a top face, an undersurface, and a side that completely surrounds the top face and the undersurface by connecting the outer edge of the top face and the outer edge of the undersurface together; and an electronic part disposed inside the cabinet, wherein the cabinet has an exhaust hole provided in the undersurface of the cabinet, at a position distant from the side of the cabinet; a fan disposed inside the cabinet, which blows air inside the cabinet from the exhaust hole; and at least one protrusion disposed at the back of the undersurface of the cabinet, protruding from the undersurface of the cabinet and holding the cabinet placed on a flat plate in a state of being lifted.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a cabinet having a top face, an undersurface, and a side that completely surrounds the top face and the undersurface by connecting the outer edge of the top face and the outer edge of the undersurface together;

an electronic part disposed inside the cabinet, wherein

the electronic device is placed on an external surface in a state in which the undersurface of the cabinet directly faces the external surface,

the cabinet has an exhaust hole provided in the undersurface of the cabinet, at a position distant from the side of the cabinet;

a fan disposed inside the cabinet, which blows air inside the cabinet toward the back of the cabinet;

a guide member that is disposed inside the cabinet, guides the air blown from the fan toward the back of the cabinet in a slanting downward direction, and exhausts the air from the exhaust hole so as to blow directly on the external surface; and

at least one protrusion disposed at the back of the undersurface of the cabinet, protruding from the undersurface of the cabinet and holding the cabinet placed on the external surface in a state of being lifted.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the side includes a back side at the back and a front side opposing to the back side, the cabinet has a bulge disposed at the back of the cabinet, which bulges downward and extends to the left and right, and the protrusion is disposed at each of both left and right sides of the bulge at a position that overlaps the bulge, and the exhaust hole is provided at a position adjacent to the bulge and nearer to the front side than the bulge.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cabinet is a first cabinet equipped with a keyboard on the top face, and

the electronic device further comprises a second cabinet with a display screen, which is attached to the first cabinet so as to open and close freely.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the second cabinet is attached to the first cabinet at the back of the first cabinet so as to open and close freely.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprises a battery disposed in the bulge.
