Cooling Structure for Electronic Circuit Board, and Electronic Device Using the Same

摘要

The size of an electronic device using a cooling structure for an electronic circuit board is increased when using a heating element with a large amount of heat generation, therefore, a cooling structure for an electronic circuit board according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes an evaporator with an evaporation container storing a refrigerant; a condenser condensing and liquefying a vapor-phase refrigerant vaporized in the evaporator and radiating heat; and a pipe connecting the evaporator to the condenser, wherein the evaporator includes a heat receiving area, on one side of the evaporation container, thermally connecting to a heating element disposed on the electronic circuit board, and a plurality of flow path plates, in an area including the heat receiving area, extending in the direction parallel to the electronic circuit board; and a vapor-liquid interface of the refrigerant is positioned above or at the level of a lower end and below an upper end of the heat receiving area in the vertical direction, in the arrangement condition that the drawing direction of the flow path plates is approximately parallel to the vertical direction.
