Abstract

An electronic device includes an electronic component mounted on a substrate; a cooling system for cooling the electronic component; and a fastening structure for fastening the cooling system to the substrate. The fastening structure includes a first magnet provided to one of the substrate and the cooling system, a second magnetic material fixed to the other of the substrate and the cooling system and magnetically coupled with the first magnet, and a magnetic shield that covers a part or all of the first magnet except for a coupling face to be coupled with the second magnetic material.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic component mounted on a substrate;

a cooling system for cooling the electronic component; and

a fastening structure for fastening the cooling system to the substrate,

wherein the fastening structure includes

a first magnet provided to one of the substrate and the cooling system,

a second magnetic material fixed to the other of the substrate and the cooling system and magnetically coupled with the first magnet, and

a magnetic shield that covers a part or all of the first magnet except for a coupling face to be coupled with the second magnetic material.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnet has S poles and N poles arranged alternately along a plane parallel to a major surface of the substrate.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic material is a second magnet that has N poles and S poles arranged alternately in a reverse alignment order to the first magnet.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the magnetic shield covers a part or all of the surfaces of the second magnet, except for a coupling surface to be coupled with the first magnet.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield is provided along a magnetic flux path extending between magnetic poles of the first magnet.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield is a housing member made of a soft magnetic material accommodating the first magnet with the coupling face exposed.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield is a magnetic shielding coat with magnetic powder mixed in an adhesive.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the magnetic powder is soft magnetic powder, and a mixture ratio of the soft magnetic powder is more than 50 weight percent.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnet is formed by multiple blocks of permanent magnets arranged at a constant pitch such that directions of magnetic poles are alternating.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnet is an oxide magnet magnetized such that opposite magnetic polarities align alternately.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic material is a second magnet, and the first magnet has a single magnetic polarity on the coupling face, while the second magnet has a single magnetic polarity opposite to that of the first magnet on the coupling face.

12. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sealing material that seals the cooling system against the substrate to hold the electronic component securely.

13. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling system includes

a heat receiving case secured to the substrate and sealing the electronic component in an enclosed space, and

a pipe for supplying a refrigerant into the enclosed space of the heat receiving case.

14. The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the first magnet is fixed to a sidewall of the heat receiving case.

15. The electronic device according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a sealing material provided between the heat receiving case and the substrate.

16. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the sealing material is provided inside the fastening structure.

17. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the sealing material deforms when the first magnet and the second magnetic material are magnetically coupled with each other and seals the heat receiving case with respect to the substrate.

18. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling system includes a cooling fin fixed to a surface of the electronic component opposite to a mounting face thereof to be connected to the substrate.
