Abstract:
A cooling device includes a fan main body, a first housing, a second housing, a drive portion, and a rotation control portion. The second housing is configured to be rotatable between a predetermined first rotation position P1 and a second rotation position P2 reached through a rotation by a predetermined angle about a shaft from the first rotation position P1. The rotation control portion controls the drive portion to move the second housing to the first rotation position P1 or the second rotation position P2.
