Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cooling unit has a member-to-be-cooled, a duct, and a cushioning material. The member-to-be-cooled has a plurality of cooling fins. The duct is fixed to the member-to-be-cooled, has a partition wall facing the plurality of cooling fins, and conveys a fluid to around the plurality of cooling fins. The cushioning material is disposed between the partition wall and the plurality of cooling fins and fixed to the partition wall.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A cooling unit comprising: a member-to-be-cooled including a plurality of cooling fins; a duct that is fixed to the member-to-be-cooled, the duct including a partition wall facing the plurality of cooling fins, and the duct conveying a fluid to around the plurality of cooling fins; and a cushioning material disposed between the partition wall and the plurality of cooling fins, and the cushioning material being fixed to the partition wall. 2 . The cooling unit according to claim 1 , wherein: the plurality of cooling fins extend linearly in one direction along the partition wall; and the duct is configured to convey the fluid along the one direction. 3 . The cooling unit according to claim 1 , wherein the cushioning material has a structure that does not allow the fluid to pass through an inside of the cushioning material. 4 . The cooling unit according to claim 1 , wherein the cushioning material is configured by a closed-cell sponge. 5 . The cooling unit according to claim 1 , wherein: an inner surface of the partition wall has a recess; and the cushioning material is disposed inside the recess. 6 . The cooling unit according to claim 5 , wherein the cushioning material protrudes farther toward the plurality of cooling fins than a part of the inner surface around the recess.
