Abstract

A cooling plate includes: first comb tooth flow paths extending from a first common flow path; second comb tooth flow paths extending from a second common path; first vertical flow paths each of which extends from the first comb tooth flow path; second vertical flow paths each of which extends from the second comb tooth flow path; first outer flow paths each of which extends from the first vertical flow path; second outer flow paths that are alternately adjacent to the first outer flow path; first coupling flow paths each of which extends from the first comb tooth flow path or the first outer flow path; second coupling flow paths that are alternately adjacent to the first coupling flow path; and heat receiving flow paths each of which communicates with the first coupling flow path and the second coupling flow path to receive heat of the heat receiving surface.

Claims (44)

1. A cooling plate comprising:

second comb tooth flow paths extending from a second common path toward the inside of the flat surface in a comb-teeth shape and being alternately adjacent to the first comb tooth flow paths;

first vertical flow paths each of which extends from a representative one of the first comb tooth flow paths toward a side of the heat receiving surface;

second vertical flow paths each of which extends from a representative one of the second comb tooth flow paths toward the side of the heat receiving surface;

first outer flow paths each of which extends from a representative one of the first vertical flow paths toward an outside of the flat surface;

second outer flow paths each of which extends from a representative one of the second vertical flow paths toward the outside of the flat surface and that are alternately adjacent to the first outer flow path;

first coupling flow paths each of which extends from a representative one of the first comb tooth flow paths or a representative one of the first outer flow paths toward the side of the heat receiving surface;
