Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cooling structure includes a fan that suctions gas through an inlet and sends gas, a flow path that connects the inlet and the fan to each other, a foreign matter entry suppression member that suppresses entry of a foreign matter into the flow path through the inlet, and a vibration suppression member set between the foreign matter entry suppression member and the fan and provided to suppress vibration of a rod-like foreign matter caused by rotation of a blade of the fan. The foreign matter entry suppression member includes a plurality of opening portions for suctioning gas into the flow path. The vibration suppression member is constructed to be provided with a plurality of opening portions while it is set in the flow path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cooling structure that cools a power storage, the cooling structure comprising: an inlet for intake toward the power storage; a fan including a blade, the fan suctioning gas through the inlet by rotation of the blade and sending the gas toward the power storage; a flow path that connects the inlet and the fan to each other; a foreign matter entry suppression member provided at the inlet, the foreign matter entry suppression member suppressing entry of a foreign matter into the flow path through the inlet; and a vibration suppression member set between the foreign matter entry suppression member and the fan in the flow path and provided to suppress vibration of a rod-like foreign matter caused by rotation of the blade, wherein the foreign matter entry suppression member includes a plurality of first opening portions for suction of the gas into the flow path, and the vibration suppression member is constructed to be provided with a plurality of second opening portions while the vibration suppression member is set in the flow path. 2. The cooling structure according to claim 1 , wherein the rod-like foreign matter is moved by contact of a tip end of the rod-like foreign matter with the blade, the fan includes a rotation shaft that rotates the blade, and the vibration suppression member restricts a range of movement of the rod-like foreign matter in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the rotation shaft. 3. The cooling structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening portions are each larger in opening than the first opening portions. 4. The cooling structure according to claim 3 , wherein the vibration suppression member includes a plurality of ledges that intersect with each other or a single ledge.
