Abstract

According to one embodiment, a transmitter includes a housing, an internal member, a first unit, and a second unit. The internal member is fixed to the housing. The internal member forms a first area and a second area inside the housing. The first area communicates with an outside of the housing. The second area is liquid-tightly partitioned from the first area. The first unit is in the housing. The first unit includes a first heat sink and a first circuit. The first heat sink is at least partially in the first area. The first circuit is in the second area. The second unit is in the housing. The second unit includes a second heat sink and a second circuit. The second heat sink is at least partially in the first area and facing the first heat sink. The second circuit is in the second area.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transmitter comprising:
a housing;
an internal member fixed to the housing, the internal member dividing the housing into a first area and a second area, the first area communicating with an outside of the housing, the second area being liquid-tightly partitioned from the first area, the internal member having a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole, the second insertion hole opposing the first insertion hole, the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole being capable of being exposed to an inside of the housing;
a first unit disposed in the housing, the first unit being configured to pass through the first insertion hole to be disposed in the first area and the second area, the first unit comprising a first heat sink and a first circuit, the first heat sink being at least partially in the first area and the first circuit being in the second area; and
a second unit disposed in the housing, the second unit being configured to pass through the second insertion hole to be disposed in the first area and the second area, the second unit comprising a second heat sink and a second circuit, the second heat sink being at least partially in the first area and facing the first heat sink and the second circuit being in the second area.

2. The transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein
the first unit and the second unit are attached to the internal member, and
the internal member holds the first unit and the second unit in the housing.

3. The transmitter according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fan at least partially provided in the first area, the fan being configured to generate air current toward the first heat sink and the second heat sink.

4. The transmitter according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cable extending in the second area, the cable electrically connecting the first circuit and the second circuit.

5. The transmitter according to claim 1 , wherein
the housing has a first opening and a second opening located opposite to the first opening, and
the internal member is formed in a tubular shape and connects the first opening to the second opening.

6. The transmitter according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a first sealing member between the internal member and the first unit; and
a second sealing member between the internal member and the second unit, wherein
the first sealing member is attached to a periphery of the first insertion hole to seal the first insertion hole liquid-tightly, and the second sealing member is attached to a periphery of the second insertion hole to seal the second insertion hole liquid-tightly.

7. The transmitter according to claim 6 , wherein
the first opening is sized such that the first unit is capable of being inserted into the internal member through the first opening from the outside of the housing.

8. The transmitter according to claim 7 , wherein
the internal member has an inner surface exposed to the first area, and
the first unit is attached to the inner surface of the internal member and the first circuit passes through the first insertion hole.

9. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
an internal member fixed to the housing, the internal member dividing the housing into a first area and a second area, the first area communicating with an outside of the housing, the second area being liquid-tightly partitioned from the first area, the internal member having a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole, the second insertion hole opposing the first insertion hole, the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole being capable of being exposed to an inside of the housing;
a first unit disposed in the housing, the first unit being configured to pass through the first insertion hole to be disposed in the first area and the second area, the first unit comprising a first heat sink and a first circuit, the first heat sink being at least partially in the first area and the first circuit being in the second area; and
a second unit disposed in the housing, the second unit being configured to pass through the second insertion hole to be disposed in the first area and the second area, the second unit comprising a second heat sink and a second circuit, the second heat sink being at least partially in the first area and facing the first heat sink and the second circuit being in the second area.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein
the first unit and the second unit are attached to the internal member, and
the internal member holds the first unit and the second unit in the housing.

11. The electronic device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a fan at least partially provided in the first area, the fan being configured to generate air current toward the first heat sink and the second heat sink.

12. The electronic device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a cable extending in the second area, the cable electrically connecting the first circuit and the second circuit.

13. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein
the housing has a first opening and a second opening located opposite to the first opening, and
the internal member is formed in a tubular shape and connects the first opening to the second opening.

14. The electronic device according to claim 13 , further comprising:
a first sealing member between the internal member and the first unit; and
a second sealing member between the internal member and the second unit, wherein
the first sealing member is attached to a periphery of the first insertion hole to seal the first insertion hole liquid-tightly, and the second sealing member is attached to a periphery of the second insertion hole to seal the second insertion hole liquid-tightly.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein
the first opening is sized such that the first unit is capable of being inserted into the internal member through the first opening from the outside of the housing.

16. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein
the internal member has an inner surface exposed to the first area, and
the first unit is attached to the inner surface of the internal member and the first circuit passes through the first insertion hole.
