[0005] The above prior art documents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0006] The following analysis was made by the inventor of the present invention.

[0017] The following describes an overview of the present disclosure. Note that the drawing reference numerals appended to this overview are solely for assisting in the understanding of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure to the illustrated embodiments.

[0018] Furthermore, in the following description and drawings, the same or common functional elements are appended with the same drawing reference numerals.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a part of an example of the heat dissipation device of the present disclosure.

[0020] The illustrated heat dissipation device 1 includes a heat dissipation member 2, a housing 3, and a lateral movement mechanism 4.

[0021] (Heat dissipation member 2) The heat dissipation member 2 has a first surface 2a on which heat-generating components 6 such as a CPU, FPGA, etc. are disposed, and a planar second surface 2b facing the first surface 2a.

[0022] The first surface 2a of the heat radiating member 2 can be formed in a planar shape, and in this case, the heat radiating member 2 is configured as a plate-like member. The plate-like heat radiating member 2 is, for example, a vapor chamber (see FIG. 5 for a specific example thereof). However, other types of heat radiating members can also be used as long as they have a shape or structure that allows for parallel movement or sliding on the base portion 3a of the housing 3.

[0023] Further, the shape of the first surface 2a of the heat radiating member 2 is not limited to a planar shape and can be any shape as long as the heat generating component 6 can be disposed thereon.

[0024] The heat radiating member 2 is, in particular, a rectangular or square plate-like member. However, the heat radiating member 2 only needs to be capable of parallel movement or sliding on the placement surface 3b of the base portion 3a of the housing 3, and thus can be a plate-like member of any shape such as a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon other than a rectangle or a square.

[0025] The heat radiating member 2 is formed of, in particular, a metal or alloy such as copper or aluminum, but can be formed of any material with high thermal conductivity. In the case where the heat radiating member 2 is formed of a material with low strength that may be deformed, broken, etc. by the action of a force applied by, for example, the lateral movement mechanism 4, the heat radiating member 2 can be configured to be at least partially surrounded by a reinforcing member (such as a frame) formed of a material with high strength such as metal. Further, such a reinforcing member is also applicable to the heat radiating member 2 formed of a material with high strength.

[0026] The heat radiating member 2 has a protruding portion 2c configured to extend in a direction from the second surface 2b toward the first surface 2a at at least a part of one end thereof.

[0027] The protruding portion 2c can be formed by bending and standing up a portion extending from at least a part of one end of the heat radiating member 2. Further, the protruding portion 2c can also be formed by bending and standing up a portion extending from at least a part of one end of a reinforcing member for the heat radiating member 2. Alternatively, for example, it is also possible to fixedly provide a plate-like member made of metal bent in an L shape at at least a part of one end of the heat radiating member 2 or its reinforcing member.

[0028] Note that the heat dissipation member 2 is disposed on the mounting surface 3b of the base portion 3a of the housing 3 via the heat dissipation grease 5. Therefore, the "planar" second surface 2b in the present disclosure is not limited to a "plane" in a strict sense, and may have deformations such as unevenness and curvature within a range where the heat dissipation member 2 can slide or shift on the mounting surface 3b of the base portion 3a of the housing 3. Accordingly, the "parallel" in the present disclosure is not limited to "parallel" in a strict sense, and may have an inclination or the like within a range where the heat dissipation member 2 can slide or shift on the mounting surface 3b of the base portion 3a of the housing 3.

[0029] (Housing 3) The housing 3 includes a base portion 3a having a planar mounting surface 3b on which the heat dissipation member 2 is disposed via the heat dissipation grease 5 on the side of the second surface 2b thereof.

[0030] The housing 3 further has a side wall portion 3c provided so as to face the protruding portion 2c of the heat dissipation member 2, that is, to extend in the protruding direction of the protruding portion, in a state where the heat dissipation member 2 is disposed on the mounting surface 3b of the housing 3 via the heat dissipation grease 5.

[0031] The housing 3 is a member having thermal conductivity, particularly made of metal, but can be manufactured from any material as long as it has a high thermal conductivity.

[0032] The housing 3 can further have at least one cooling fin on the side facing the mounting surface 3b of the base portion 3a for improving heat dissipation or the like. Note that instead of or in addition to the cooling fins, other types of cooling means, such as a heat pipe, a vapor chamber, etc., may be provided.

[0033] Note that as described above, the heat dissipation member 2 is disposed on the mounting surface 3b of the base portion 3a of the housing 3 via the heat dissipation grease 5. Therefore, the "planar" mounting surface 3b is not limited to a "plane" in a strict sense, and may have deformations such as unevenness and curvature within a range where the heat dissipation member 2 can move parallel or slide on the base portion 3a of the housing 3.

[0034] (Lateral movement mechanism) The lateral movement mechanism 4 is configured to separate the protruding portion 2c of the heat dissipation member 2 from the side wall portion 3c of the housing 3 in a direction parallel to the mounting surface 3b of the housing 3 so that the heat dissipation member 2 disposed via the heat dissipation grease 5 on the mounting surface 3b of the housing 3 moves in parallel on the mounting surface 3b.

[0035] Due to this separation by the lateral movement mechanism 4, as shown in FIG. 2 for example, the heat dissipation member 2 is displaced in a parallel or lateral direction on the heat dissipation grease 5, so that a force is applied to the heat dissipation grease 5 in the shearing direction, and the adhesive force of the heat dissipation grease 5 is weakened. As a result, the peeling of the heat dissipation member 2 from the housing 3 or its mounting surface 3b is facilitated, deformation, breakage, etc. of the heat dissipation member 2 during this peeling are avoided, and the heat dissipation member 2 can be reused. Note that the substrate 7 shown in FIG. 2 is a substrate on which heat generating components such as FPGAs are mounted.

[0036] As the lateral movement mechanism 4, any mechanism or device (such as a lever mechanism) capable of separating the protruding portion 2c of the heat dissipation member 2 from the side wall portion 3c of the housing 3 can be used, and for example, the following can be used.

[0037] (An example of the lateral movement mechanism) FIG. 3 shows an example of the lateral movement mechanism.

[0038] The illustrated lateral movement mechanism 40 includes a through hole 41 formed in the protruding portion 20c of the heat dissipation member 20 (or its reinforcing member) and a shaft member 42.

[0039] The through hole 41 is formed in a direction parallel to the mounting surface 30b of the housing 30. The shaft member 42 is configured to be insertable into the through hole 41 and has one end portion 42a that abuts against the side wall portion 30c of the housing 30, and is configured to be able to press the side wall portion 30c by this one end portion 42a.

[0040] In the lateral movement mechanism 40 of this example, for example, by using a drive mechanism (such as a lever mechanism) fixedly provided on the protruding portion 20c of the heat dissipation member 20, the side wall portion 30c of the housing 30 is pressed by a shaft member 42 whose one end portion 42a is in contact with the side wall portion 30c of the housing 30. As a reaction, the protruding portion 20c is separated from the side wall portion 30c. As a result, the heat dissipation member 20 arranged via the heat dissipation grease 5 on the placement surface 30b of the housing 30 moves parallel in a direction away from the side wall portion 30c on the placement surface 30b. Thereby, a force in the shearing direction is applied to the heat dissipation grease 5.

[0041] (Modification example) In the lateral movement mechanism 40 of this example, in particular, the through hole 41 formed in the protruding portion 20c can have an internal thread (not shown), and correspondingly, the shaft member 42 can be configured as a bolt (symbolically shown by the head shown by a broken line in FIG. 3) having an external thread (not shown) that screws into the internal thread of the through hole 41.

[0042] Note that the internal thread of the through hole 41 in the protruding portion 20c can be directly formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 41, but it can also be configured as the internal thread of a nut (such as a self-fastener) press-fitted into the through hole 41.

[0043] In the lateral movement mechanism 40 of this modification example, since a required force can be applied to the side wall portion 30c of the housing 30 simply by rotating the bolt as the shaft member 42, a large-scale drive mechanism (such as a lever mechanism) to be provided on the protruding portion 20c of the heat dissipation member 20 becomes unnecessary, and the structure becomes simple.

[0044] (Another example of the lateral movement mechanism) FIG. 4 shows another example of the lateral movement mechanism.

[0045] The illustrated lateral movement mechanism 400 includes a through hole 401 formed in the side wall portion 300c of the housing 300 and a shaft member 402.

[0046] The through hole 401 is formed in a direction parallel to the mounting surface 300b of the housing 300. The shaft member 402 is configured to be insertable into the through hole 401, and has one end 402a that abuts against the protruding portion 200c of the heat radiating member 200 (or its reinforcing member), and the protruding portion 200c can be pressed by this one end 402a.

[0047] In the lateral movement mechanism 400 of this example, for example, by using a drive mechanism (such as a lever mechanism) fixedly provided on the side wall portion 300c of the housing 300, the protruding portion 200c is pressed by the shaft member 402 whose one end 402a abuts against the protruding portion 200c of the heat radiating member 200. As a result, the protruding portion 200c separates from the side wall portion 300c. As a result, the heat radiating member 200 arranged via the heat radiating grease 5 on the mounting surface 300b of the housing 300 moves parallel in a direction away from the side wall portion 300c on the mounting surface 300b. Thereby, a force in the shearing direction is applied to the heat radiating grease 5.

[0048] (Modification example) In the lateral movement mechanism 400 of this example, in particular, the through hole 401 formed in the side wall portion 300c can have an internal thread (not shown), and correspondingly, the shaft member 402 can be configured as a bolt (symbolically shown by the head shown by the broken line in FIG. 4) having an external thread (not shown) that screws into the internal thread of the through hole 401.

[0049] Note that the internal thread of the through hole 401 in the side wall portion 300c can be directly formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 401, but can also be configured as the internal thread of a nut (such as a self-fastener) press-fitted into the through hole 401.

[0050] In the lateral movement mechanism 400 of this modification example, since a required force can be applied to the protruding portion 200c of the heat radiating member 200 simply by rotating the bolt as the shaft member 402, a large-scale drive mechanism (such as a lever mechanism) to be provided on the side wall portion 300c of the housing 300 is unnecessary, and the structure is simplified.

[0051] (Another example of the heat dissipation device) In addition to the above-described lateral movement mechanism that relatively moves the heat radiating member and the housing in the horizontal direction, the heat radiating device may also include a vertical movement mechanism (not shown) that moves the heat radiating member in the vertical direction with respect to the housing in order to peel the heat radiating member from the housing after weakening the adhesive force of the heat dissipation grease 5 by this horizontal movement. For an example of this vertical movement mechanism, refer to Patent Document 1, for example.

[0052] (A specific example) FIG. 5 shows a specific example of a vapor chamber as an example of the heat radiating member 100. In the illustrated vapor chamber, the vapor chamber body 102 is reinforced by a reinforcing member 110, and a protruding portion 102c having a through hole formed by bending and standing up an extending portion is provided at the end on the left side of the drawing.

[0053] FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the protruding portion 102c shown in FIG. 5. In this protruding portion 102c, a self-fastener 120 into which a bolt is screwed is press-fitted into the through hole.

[0054] Note that the drive mechanism of the lateral movement mechanism that separates the protruding portion of the heat radiating member and the side wall portion of the housing, particularly the drive mechanism of the shaft member that can be provided on the protruding portion of the heat radiating member or the side wall portion of the housing, and further, the above-described vertical movement mechanism can also be configured as an electric device such as a motor. In this case, the control of the electric device, particularly the control of the feeding of the shaft member by the electric device (control of the magnitude of the applied force, the moving distance, the moving speed, etc.) can also be performed by a control circuit provided inside or outside the heat radiating device.

[0055] The above-described control circuit can be configured using so-called hardware resources (information processing devices, computers), and those having the configuration illustrated in FIG. 7 can be used. For example, the hardware resource 1000 can include a processor 1001, a memory 1002, a network interface 1003, etc. that are interconnected by an internal bus 1004.

[0056] However, the configuration shown in FIG. 7 is not intended to limit the hardware configuration of the hardware resource 1000. The hardware resource 1000 may include hardware not shown (for example, an input / output interface). For the processor 1001, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processor Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. can be used.

[0057] Also, for the memory 1002, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc. can be used. Here, a predetermined threshold value regarding the above-mentioned predetermined physical quantity can be stored in the memory 1002, and a control program for performing the above-mentioned control can also be stored.

[0058] Furthermore, for the network interface 1003, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) card, a network adapter, a network interface card, etc. can be used.

[0059] Furthermore, the functions of the hardware resource 1000 are realized by a processing module. The processing module is realized, for example, by the processor 1001 executing a program stored in the memory 1002. Also, the program can be downloaded via a network or updated using a storage medium storing the program. Furthermore, the above-mentioned processing module may be realized by a semiconductor chip. That is, the functions performed by the above-mentioned processing module may be realized as long as software is executed in some hardware.
