HOUSING FOR ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS USING SHAPE MEMORY MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A housing of an electronic and electric component which uses a shape memory material is provided to actively control thermal conductivity by reacting to an ambient temperature environment. CONSTITUTION: An inner panel (11) and an outer panel (12) are arranged in a line at a fixed interval. A metal plate (13) of ribbon type is formed to be extended from the inner surface of the outer panel. A shape memory material (14) of ribbon type is connected or separated from the metal plate of the outer panel according to a temperature change. The metal plate and the shape memory material are formed at a right angle about the panel. The metal plate and the shape memory material form or block a thermal transmission path in a housing thickness direction.
