Abstract

A portable electronic device comprises a housing, a circuit board, a heat-conduction structure and a heat-dissipation structure. The circuit board is disposed in the housing. The heat-conduction structure is disposed in the housing and contacts the circuit board. The heat-dissipation structure is disposed outside the housing and connected to the heat-conduction structure, wherein heat is transmitted from the circuit board, passing the heat-conduction structure and the heat-dissipation structure to be dissipated out of the housing.

Claims (11)

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:

a housing comprising a sliding cover and a body, the sliding cover slidingly connecting the body;

a circuit board, disposed in the housing;

a heat-conduction structure, disposed in the housing and contacted with the circuit board for dissipating a heat from the circuit board, wherein the circuit board comprises a heat-conduction layer embedded in the circuit board and contacted with the heat-conduction structure, and the heat-conduction layer extends parallel to the circuit board to transmit the heat parallel thereto, wherein heat-conduction structure comprises a protrusion inserted into the circuit board and contacted with the heat-conduction layer; and

a heat-dissipation structure, disposed outside the housing and contacted with for dissipating the heat out of the housing from the heat-conduction structure, wherein the circuit board and the heat-conduction structure are disposed in the body, and the heat-dissipation structure is disposed on a surface of the sliding cover.

2. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the heat-conduction structure comprises metal.

3. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the metal comprises copper.

4. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is a bolt inserted into the circuit board, contacted with the heat-conduction layer, and fixed the heat-conduction structure on the circuit board.

5. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the heat-conduction layer comprises metal.

6. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the metal comprises copper.

7. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination of the protrusion and the heat-conduction structure is a single-piece structure.
