Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a top plate, a bottom plate provided under the top plate, a circuit board provided between the top plate and the bottom plate, an electronic component disposed on the circuit board, and an intermediate plate provided between the top plate and the circuit board. The intermediate plate is configured to provide a clearance between the top plate and intermediate plate, or between the circuit board and the intermediate plate. The intermediate plate is further configured to allow an air flow from a first end portion to a second end portion of the top plate.

Claims (21)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a top plate;

a bottom plate provided under the top plate;

a circuit board provided between the top plate and the bottom plate;

an electronic component disposed on the circuit board, the electronic component comprising a capacitor or a battery; and

an intermediate plate provided between the top plate and the circuit board, configured to provide a clearance between the top plate and intermediate plate, or between the circuit board and the intermediate plate, and further configured to allow an air flow from a first end portion of the top plate to a second end portion of the top plate,

wherein the intermediate plate comprises a rib provided along a direction of the air flow, the rib extending from a first end portion of the intermediate plate to a second end portion of the intermediate plate, and

wherein the intermediate plate defines a notch corresponding to a position of the capacitor or the battery.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the intermediate plate is a metal plate.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a screw, and wherein

the intermediate plate is detachably attached to the bottom plate by the screw.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the intermediate plate is fixed to the top plate by caulking.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a screw, and wherein

the intermediate plate is detachably attached to the bottom plate by the screw.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the intermediate plate is fixed to the top plate by caulking.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the rib is the same as a distance between the first end portion of the top plate and the second end portion of the top plate.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first end portion of the top plate is above the first end portion of the intermediate plate, and the second end portion of the top plate is above the second end portion of the intermediate plate.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first end portion of the top plate is aligned with the first end portion of the intermediate plate, and the second end portion of the top plate is aligned with the second end portion of the intermediate plate.
