Abstract
A cooling device includes a first radiator core, a second radiator core, a fan, a ventilation component, and a blocked part. The first radiator core and the second radiator core (42) are disposed adjacently with a specific space in between. The fan supplies air to the first radiator core and the second radiator core. The ventilation component is formed in part of the specific space and transmits air supplied from the fan. The blocked part is formed by a blocking member disposed in a different part of the specific space from the ventilation component.
Claims9
A cooling device, comprising:
- a first radiator core disposed adjacent a second radiator core, the first radiator core and the second radiator core being spaced apart with a specific space in between;
- a fan that supplies air to the first radiator core and the second radiator core;
- a ventilation component formed in part of the specific space and through which air supplied from the fan passes;
- and
- a blocked part formed by a blocking member disposed in a different part of the specific space from the ventilation component, the blocking member spanning an entire width of the specific space in a direction in which the first radiator core and the second radiator core are spaced apart,
- the first radiator core having a first incoming air face for receiving the air supplied from the fan, and the second radiator having a second incoming air face for receiving the air supplied from the fan, the first incoming air face and the second incoming air face being arranged to extend in the direction in which the first radiator core and the second radiator core are spaced apart.
