cooling fluid tank 4 is supplied to theheat sink 7 via theradiator 2 by thepressure pump 5 and then sent back to thecooling fluid tank 4. In this manner, the cooling fluid C circulates so as to be supplied to theheat sink 7 again via the same flow path as described above. In the electroniccomponent cooling apparatus 1, theair cooling fan 3 and thepressure pump 5 are driven by separately provided drive motors respectively (e.g. JP-A-2004-304076). - Since the

Therefore, because the space for installation of the motor can be reduced to half while drive transmission efficiency of the motive power of the motor can be improved greatly compared with the related art, reduction in size of the unit for driving the fan and the pump can be achieved. In addition, not only can the cost of one motor be eliminated but also noise generated from the motor can be suppressed to half.

FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view for explaining an example of configuration of a pump-fan drive unit according to the embodiment. -
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view for explaining another example of configuration of the pump-fan drive unit according to the embodiment. -
FIG. 4 is an overall configuration view of a related electronic component cooling apparatus. - The invention provides an electronic component cooling apparatus comprising a pump, an air-cooling fan-including radiator, and a heat sink. The pump, the air-cooling fan-including radiator and the heat sink are disposed on a circulating path. In the electronic component cooling apparatus, a source for driving the pump and a source for driving the fan of the radiator are made of a single motor to thereby achieve the purposes of: improving the drive efficiency of the motor; reducing the size of the drive device; and suppressing noise caused by the driving of the motor.
- An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the embodiment, a forced water-cooling type CPU cooler apparatus comprises a
radiator 25, aheat sink 12, and atank 14. Theradiator 25 includes anfan 15. Thetank 14 includes apump 18 for forcedly circulating cooling fluid. Theradiator 25, theheat sink 12 and thetank 14 are connected to one another throughcirculation paths motor 20 of thefan 15 is used so that thepump 18 can be also driven to rotate in simultaneity with thefan 15. Although the embodiment has been described on the case where thepump 18 and thetank 14 are formed integrally in order to achieve further reduction in size of the apparatus, it is a matter of course that thepump 18 and thetank 14 may be formed separately. -
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration view of an electroniccomponent cooling apparatus 11 according to the embodiment. The electroniccomponent cooling apparatus 11 is provided with a CPU water-cooling head that serves as aheat sink 12 made of metal. Theheat sink 12 is held in contact with a CPU as a heat-generating source, so that heat generated from the CPU is transferred to fluid (cooling water or glycol antifreeze fluid) C and released. Atank 14 is connected to an inlet of theheat sink 12 through apath 13. The cooling fluid C is reserved in thetank 14. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , aninlet 16 and anoutlet 17 are formed in one side wall and the other side wall of thetank 14, respectively. The coolingfluid tank 14 further includes apump 18 for forcedly circulating the fluid C to theheat sink 12. Thepressure pump 18 includes a disctype magnet rotor 19, and a disctype rotor driver 22. Therotor driver 22 is fixedly provided in one end portion of anoutput shaft 21 of amotor 20. Themagnet rotor 19 is accommodated in thetank 14 so as to be rotatable. - A plurality of
fans 23 are formed integrally on the surface of themagnet rotor 19. Each of thefans 23 protrudes outwardly to theinlet 16. Further, themagnet rotor 19 and therotor driver 22 are disposed concentrically and adjacently, and face to each other through a wall surface of thetank 14. Each of circumferential edge portions of facing surfaces of themagnet rotor 19 and therotor driver 22 is magnetized with N poles and S poles, which are arranged alternately in circumferential direction thereof. - Accordingly, the
magnet rotor 19 is magnetically driven to rotate by rotation of therotor driver 22. At the same time that the fluid C flows into thetank 14 through theinlet 16, the fluid C flows out of theoutlet 17. The outflowing fluid C is supplied to theheat sink 12 through thepath 13. - The outlet of the
heat sink 12 is connected to aninlet 26 of theradiator 25 through thepath 24. Thus, after the CPU is cooled by the fluid C, the fluid C is supplied to theradiator 25 through thepath 24. Theradiator 25 removes the fluid C from the heat and emits the heat into the air. - A pump-
fan drive unit 27 is arranged between theradiator 25 and thetank 14. The pump-fan drive unit 27 has themotor 20, thefan 15, and therotor driver 22. Thefan 15 is disposed adjacently to one side (left side inFIG. 2 ) of themotor 20. Therotor driver 22 is disposed adjacently to the other side (right side inFIG. 2 ) of themotor 20. - As described above, the
rotor driver 22 is fixedly provided and directly connected to one end portion of theoutput shaft 21 of themotor 20, while thefan 15 is fixedly provided and directly connected to the other end portion of theoutput shaft 21. - In the electronic
component cooling apparatus 11 configured as described above, When theoutput shaft 21 of themotor 20 is rotated, both thefan 15 and therotor driver 22 are driven to rotate synchronously. Theradiator 25 is air-cooled in accordance with the rotation of thefan 15, so that the heat is taken from the fluid C and emitted into the air. - In addition, the
magnet rotor 19 of thepump 18 rotates magnetically and integrally in accordance with the rotation of therotor driver 22. By the water jet function of thefans 23 rotating together with themagnet rotor 19, the fluid C on theradiator 25 flows into thetank 14 through theinlet 16. At the same time, the fluid C flows out of theoutlet 17 of thetank 14. The outflowing fluid C is forcedly supplied to theheat sink 12 through thepath 13. - Thus, the
heat sink 12 transfers the heat generated in the CPU to the fluid C to thereby cool the CPU. After cooling, the fluid C is sent back to thetank 14 through thepath 24 and theradiator 25. Then, cooling fluid C is forcedly circulated to theheat sink 12 by thepump 18 in the same manner as described above. - In this embodiment, the
magnet rotor 19 of thepump 18 rotates magnetically without any bearing. Accordingly, there is no bearing slide resistance generated at the time of rotation of the rotor. There is no risk of fluid leakage, so that no seal member is required. - The
fan 15 and thepump 18 are directly operated by thesingle motor 20. Accordingly, thefan 15 and thepump 18 can be driven by thesingle motor 20, so that air-cooling of theradiator 25 and forced circulation of the fluid C can be performed simultaneously. - Accordingly, while drive transmission efficiency of motive power of the motor is improved, the space for installation of the pump-
fan drive unit 27 is reduced so that the size of the apparatus can be reduced accordingly. Further, because two motors required can be replaced by one motor, noise generated from themotor 20 is reduced. In addition, because it is not necessary to provide any gear between thefan 15 and theoutput shaft 21 and between thepump 18 and theoutput shaft 21, the apparatus is so simple in structure that number of parts can be reduced. - The pump according to this embodiment is not limited to a magnet rotation drive type pump. Another type pump can be used instead. For example, as shown in
FIG. 3 , there can be used apump 28 which includes afan member 29 rotatably accommodated in thetank 14 and having a shaft portion directly connected to one end portion of theoutput shaft 21 of themotor 20. - Even in this configuration, efficiency of driving the
pressure pump 28 and thefan 15 is improved, so that reduction in size of the electronic component cooling apparatus can be achieved. Further, not only is the apparatus simple in structure but also silent running characteristic of the motor driving is improved. Incidentally, in this embodiment, aseal member 30 is mounted on the place where theoutput shaft 21 passes through the tank. - It is a matter of course that various modifications can be made on the invention without departing from the spirit of the invention, and that the invention is extended to those modifications.
