Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗Provided is an electronic apparatus capable of preventing an unnecessary space from being made inside the housing, and of improving ventilation efficiency of the air flowing along the power circuit. An electronic apparatus includes: a power circuit; a power circuit case ( 4 ) housing the power circuit; and a housing ( 2 ) for housing the electronic apparatus and the power circuit case ( 4 ). The power circuit case ( 4 ) includes a rear wall portion ( 43 ) having an air outlet ( 43 a ) formed therein, and the housing ( 2 ) having an opening ( 2 a ) formed therein, a shape of the opening corresponding to the rear wall portion ( 43 ) of the power circuit case ( 4 ). The power circuit case ( 4 ) is arranged such that the rear wall portion ( 43 ) is exposed through the opening ( 2 a ).
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a power circuit;
a case housing the power circuit; and
a housing forming an outer surface of the electronic apparatus and housing the case, wherein:
the case includes a wall having an air vent formed therein, through which air flow for cooling the power circuit passes;
the housing has an opening formed therein, the opening having a shape corresponding to the wall of the case and opening in a first direction; and
the case is arranged such that the wall of the case is fitted in the opening of the housing,
the wall of the case includes, in the air vent, a plurality of louvers and a plurality of support portions, the plurality of louvers screening the inside of the case from the outside thereof and arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,
the plurality of support portions being aligned in the second direction to thereby form a wall to support the plurality of louvers.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the air vent of the case is formed in an entire region of the wall.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the housing includes a rear wall portion forming a rear surface of the electronic apparatus; and
the opening is formed in the rear wall portion.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the power circuit comprises a circuit board having a front surface on which an electronic component is mounted; and
the case includes an air passage on the front surface side of the circuit board and an air passage on a back surface side of the circuit board.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:
the air vent is formed so that the air flowing through the air passage on the front surface side of the circuit board passes through the air vent;
the case has a second air vent formed therein, through which the air flowing through the air passage on the back surface side of the circuit board passes;
the second air vent is located inside the housing; and the housing has an air vent formed therein, the air vent facing the second air vent.
6. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a power circuit;
a case housing the power circuit; and
a housing forming an outer surface of the electronic apparatus and housing the case, wherein:
the case includes a wall having an air vent formed therein, through which air flow for cooling the power circuit passes;
the housing has an opening formed therein, a shape of the opening corresponding to the wall of the case;
the case is arranged such that the wall of the case is exposed through the opening of the housing;
the housing comprises a lower housing opening upward and an upper housing opening downward;
the upper housing is arranged such that a lower edge of the upper housing is laid on an upper edge of the lower housing;
at least one of the lower edge of the upper housing and the upper edge of the lower housing has a recess formed therein; and
the opening of the housing is defined by an edge of the recess and another one of the lower edge of the upper housing and the upper edge of the lower housing.
