Abstract
A thermal dissipation structure includes a housing, a thermal dissipation mechanism, and a seal member. The housing accommodates a heat-generating element. The thermal dissipation mechanism includes a thermal transfer part and a thermal dissipation part. The thermal transfer part is disposed inside the housing. The thermal transfer part is configured to transfer heat generated by the heat-generating element. The thermal dissipation part is disposed outside the housing. The seal member seals between the housing and the thermal dissipation mechanism.
Claims7
A thermal dissipation structure for cooling a heat-generating element, the thermal dissipation structure comprising:
- a housing accommodating the heat-generating element and having a wall with an opening formed therein;
- a thermal dissipation mechanism extending through the opening and between an interior of the housing and an exterior of the housing, the thermal dissipation mechanism including a thermal transfer part and a thermal dissipation part, the thermal transfer part disposed inside the housing, the thermal transfer part configured to transfer heat generated by the heat-generating element, the thermal dissipation part disposed outside the housing;
- and
- a seal member that forms an airtight seal between the wall of the housing and a portion of the thermal dissipation mechanism such that air cannot pass into the housing through the opening.
