Abstract
A cooling structure for electronic equipment is designed for cooling a heat-generating body (2a) disposed inside a case (20) by recovering heat generated by the heat-generating body (2a) and dissipating the heat to the outside of the case (20). The cooling structure includes a heat-receiving section (4) for recovering heat generated in the heat-generating body (2a), a thermally insulated space (6) provided with an air inflow orifice (42a) and an air outflow orifice (42b) and thermally insulated from the heat-generating body (2a) and heat-receiving section (4) by a thermally insulating member (40), a heat-dissipating section (7) provided inside the thermally insulated space (6), a heat transfer member (5) for transferring the heat recovered in the heat-receiving section (4) to the heat-dissipating section (7), and a fan (22) for generating forcibly an air flow in the thermally insulated space (6). The heat generated by the heat-generating body (2a) is transferred to the heat-dissipating section (7) via the heat-receiving section (4) and heat transfer member (5) and dissipated in a concentrated fashion by using the fan (22) inside the thermally insulated space (6).
