Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A converter comprising:
a housing;
a heat-generating component disposed inside the housing; and
a heat-dissipating module disposed on the housing,
wherein the heat-dissipating module includes:
a heat-dissipating member;
an inlet disposed adjacent to one side of the heat-dissipating member;
an outlet disposed adjacent to the other side of the heat-dissipating member; and
a fan disposed adjacent to the inlet,
wherein the heat-dissipating member includes:
a plurality of heat-dissipating fins disposed on an upper surface of the housing; and
a plurality of flow paths disposed in a direction from the inlet to the outlet, the plurality of flow paths are disposed to be overlapped with the heat-generating component in a vertical direction, and a size of the inlet is greater than a size of the outlet,
wherein the plurality of heat-dissipating fins extend along a length of the heat-dissipating member in a first direction,
wherein a distance between two outermost heat-dissipating fins in a second direction of the heat-dissipating member, among the plurality of heat-dissipating fins, is greater at a central region between the inlet and the outlet of the heat-dissipating member than at a first region near the outlet of the heat-dissipating member,
wherein the second direction is transverse to the first direction,
wherein the converter further comprises an air guide disposed on the upper surface of the housing under the fan, the air guide being for guiding air from the fan to the heat-dissipating fins,
wherein the air guide is formed such that a protrusion height from the upper surface of the housing decreases from one end to an other end,
wherein the air guide overlaps the inlet, and
wherein the air guide has a semi-circular cross-sectional shape.
