RADIATION HINGE STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase strength of a hinge structure for providing the radiation hinge structure for an electronic device which prevents a trouble such as breakage of a heat pipe.

SOLUTION: A radiation hinge member 7 is arranged in a connection part between a pair of housings 1 and 2 capable of opening/closing mutually, while the heat pipe 19 is connected to the radiation hinge member 7, and heat of a CPU 16 arranged in one housing 1 is radiated to the other housing 2 side via the heat pipe 19 and the radiation hinge member 7. A hinge structure 3 guiding opening/closing of both housings 1 and 2 is arranged independently of the heat pipe 19 and positioned to be fixed to the radiation hinge member 7 while an opening/closing axial line L is matched with the rotation center of the heat pipe 19.
