Abstract

The present invention provides a piezoelectric fan with which the air-moving performance of a vibrating plate is increased and thereby the cooling performance is improved, and also provide a cooling device including the piezoelectric fan. The piezoelectric fan includes reinforcing plates of a stainless steel that increase the rigidity of a portion of the vibrating plate corresponding to a gap between a piezoelectric element and a fixing plate. First ends of the reinforcing plates are attached to portions of the vibrating plate on both sides of piezoelectric elements in the width direction, and second ends of the reinforcing plates are attached to a fixed end of the vibrating plate such that the second ends and the fixing plate sandwich the fixed end of the vibrating plate therebetween and such that the reinforcing plates extend over the gap. The reinforcing plates prevent vibration of the portion of the vibrating plate corresponding to the gap, prevent a portion of vibration energy generated by expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric elements from being consumed in the portion corresponding to the gap, and increase the amplitude of the vibration of blade ends.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a piezoelectric fan that emits hot air from the vicinity of a heat radiator, and a cooling device using the piezoelectric fan. Background technique [0002] In recent electronic equipment, with the development of miniaturization of equipment main bodies and high-density mounting of components, heat dissipation measures inside equipment have become a problem. For example, in a personal computer, the size of the main body of the device is getting smaller, and the CPU is getting faster in order to improve the information processing performance. Therefore, the inside of the electronic device becomes an environment in which the high-density mounting of components reduces the ventilation inside the electronic device, and on the other hand, the heat generation amount of the CPU, which is a heat generating body, increases. Therefore, in this environment, it is an important issue to suppress the temperature rise of the CPU by r...
