Abstract
A heat radiating structure of an interior member is provided with a heat radiating portion adapted to be applied to a vehicle and disposed on a rear surface of an interior member whose surface is adapted to be applied with external energy, a heat receiving and radiating portion connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle, and a reflecting member allowing heat radiation, radiating from the heat radiating portion to an inside of the interior member, to be reflected and propagated to the heat receiving and radiating portion. The reflecting member cooperates with the heat radiating portion and the heat receiving and radiating portion to define a closed space.
Claims16
A heat radiating structure of an interior member, comprising:
- a heat radiating portion configured to be applied to a vehicle and disposed on a rear surface of an interior member whose surface is configured to be applied with external energy;
- a heat receiving and radiating portion connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle so that heat is exchanged between the vehicle body and the heat receiving and radiating portion by thermal conduction;
- and
- a reflecting member allowing heat radiation, radiating from the heat radiating portion to an inside of the interior member, to be reflected toward the heat receiving and radiating portion, the reflecting member cooperating with the heat radiating portion and the heat receiving and radiating portion to define a dosed space.
A heat radiating structure of an interior member, comprising:
- heat radiating means, configured to be applied to a vehicle and disposed on a rear surface of an interior member whose surface is configured to be applied with external energy, for radiating heat;
- heat receiving and radiating means, connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle so that heat is exchanged between the vehicle body and the heat receiving and radiating means by thermal conduction, for receiving the heat radiated from the heat radiating means and radiating the heat to an outside;
- and
- reflecting means for reflecting heat radiation radiating from the heat radiating portion to an inside of the interior member to propagate the heat radiation to the heat receiving and radiating means, the reflecting means cooperating with the heat radiating means and the heat receiving and radiating means to define a closed space.
A method of radiating heat from an interior member, the method comprising:
- performing heat radiation from a heat radiating portion located on a rear surface of an interior member configured to be applied to a vehicle and having a surface applied with external energy;
- and
- receiving the heat radiation from the heat radiating portion and radiating heat to an outside using a heat receiving and radiating portion located in connection to a vehicle body of the vehicle so that heat is exchanged between the vehicle body and the heat receiving and radiating portion by thermal conduction, the heat radiation propagated from the heat radiating portion being reflected at a reflecting portion and propagated to the heat receiving and radiating portion, and the reflecting portion cooperating with the heat radiating portion and the heat receiving and radiating portion to define a closed space.
