Abstract

A portable electronic device includes a body, a heat source, an evaporator, a pipe, and at least one structural component. An inner space of the body is divided into a first space and a second space. The heat source is disposed at the first space and in thermal contact with the evaporator. The pipe is connected with the evaporator to form a loop and passes through at least one of the first space and the second space. At least a portion of the pipe surrounds and is in thermal contact with the structural component disposed inside the body. A working fluid is filled and is circulated in the loop. By absorbing heat in the evaporator, the working fluid in liquid state is vaporized to exit the evaporator. While passing through the pipe, the working fluid in vapor state dissipates heat to be condensed into liquid and flow into the evaporator.

Claims (12)

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:

a body, wherein an inner space of the body is divided into a first space and a second space separated from one another;

a heat source, disposed at the first space;

an evaporator, being in thermal contact with the heat source and absorbing heat from the heat source;

a pipe, connected with the evaporator to form a loop, wherein a working fluid is filled in the loop, and the pipe passes through at least one of the first space and the second space;

at least one structural component, disposed inside the body and at least one portion of the pipe is surrounded and in thermal contact with the at least one structural component, wherein the working fluid in liquid state is vaporized by absorbing heat in the evaporator to exit the evaporator, and the working fluid in vapor state dissipates heat so as to be condensed into liquid while passing through the pipe and then flows into the evaporator, such that the working fluid is circulated in the loop, and

wherein the at least one structural component comprises a battery and an electromagnetic interference shielding component, the battery is disposed at the second space, and the electromagnetic interference shielding component is disposed at the first space.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the pipe only surrounds the electromagnetic interference shielding component.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the pipe only surrounds the battery.

4. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the pipe surrounds both the battery and the electromagnetic interference shielding component.

5. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic interference shielding component covers the heat source.

6. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat source is located outside a coverage of the electromagnetic interference shielding component.
