Detailed Description
Please refer to fig. 1-2. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fluid-flow heat dissipation device according to a first embodiment of the utility model. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of fig. 1.
The liquid flow heat dissipation device 10 of the present embodiment is, for example, a water cooling head, and is configured to be thermally coupled to at least one heat source (not shown) and to take away heat generated by the heat source through liquid cooling. The heat source is, for example, a central processing unit or an image processor. The liquid-flow heat dissipation device 10 includes a base 100, a cover 200, a baffle 300, a heat conduction box 600, an impeller 700, and a driving component 750.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 3 is a schematic perspective cross-sectional view of the base of fig. 2. The base 100 includes a bottom portion 110 and an annular wall portion 120. The annular wall 120 is connected to the bottom 110, for example, integrally formed, and the bottom 110 and the annular wall 120 together enclose a storage chamber S1. For example, the base 100 is an integrally molded structure manufactured by injection molding.
In the present embodiment, the bottom portion 110 has a first communication opening 111 and a second communication opening 112. The first communication port 111 and the second communication port 112 communicate with the storage chamber S1. The bottom 110 may also have a lateral partition structure 113, and the lateral partition structure 113 divides the bottom space of the storage compartment S1 into two parts. The annular wall 120 of the base 100 has an external inlet 121 and an external outlet 122. The external inlet 121 and the external outlet 122 are respectively connected to a water cooling drain (not shown) through a pipeline (not shown). The external inlet 121 and the external outlet 122 are communicated with the storage chamber S1, and the first communication port 111 and the second communication port 112 are communicated with each other through the storage chamber S1. In addition, the annular wall 120 may further have a top surface 123, an annular groove 124 and a plurality of separation protrusions 125. The annular groove 124 is located on the top surface 123, and the annular groove 124 receives a seal ring 150. The function of the partition protrusion 125 will be described later.
Referring to fig. 2 and 4, fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sealing cover of fig. 2. The cover 200 is mounted on the annular wall portion 120 of the base 100 to close one side of the storage chamber S1. For example, the cap 200 includes a top portion 210, a protrusion 220, and a surrounding portion 230. The top portion 210 is mounted to the annular wall portion 120 of the base 100 by, for example, screw locking. The top portion 210 is stacked on the top surface 123 of the annular wall portion 120, and the top portion 210 and the annular wall portion 120 jointly sandwich the sealing ring 150 to prevent the liquid in the storage chamber S1 from leaking from the gap between the top portion 210 and the annular wall portion 120. The protrusion 220 protrudes from the same side of the top portion 210 as the surrounding portion 230. Specifically, the protrusion 220 and the surrounding portion 230 both protrude from the top portion 210 toward the bottom portion 110 of the base 100. The surrounding portion 230 surrounds the protrusion 220, and the surrounding portion 230 is separated from the protrusion 220. The protrusion 220 is a concave portion on a side away from the bottom 110, and surrounds a driving assembly accommodating space S2. The driving-unit accommodating space S2 is not communicated with the storage chamber S1 by the obstruction of the top 210.
Referring to fig. 2 and 5, fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of fig. 1. The surrounding portion 230 of the cover 200 partially presses against the partition protrusions 125 of the annular wall portion 120 of the base 100 to divide the space above the storage compartment S1 into two parts.
Referring to fig. 2 and 6, fig. 6 is a partially exploded view of fig. 1. Opposite sides of the baffle 300 are respectively overlapped on the bottom 110 of the base 100 and the surrounding portion 230 of the cover 200. For example, the baffle 300 includes a plate portion 310 and a plurality of support posts 320. The plate portion 310 is stacked on the surrounding portion 230, and the surrounding portion 230, the protruding portion 220 and the flow guiding plate 300 together surround an impeller accommodating chamber S3.
The supporting pillars 320 protrude from the plate portion 310 on a side away from the surrounding portion 230 and abut against the bottom portion 110, so that a gap SG is maintained between the plate portion 310 and the bottom portion 110, and the plate portion 310 abuts against the transverse partition structure 113. In this way, the transverse partition structure 113 divides the gap SG into two regions which are not directly connected, and the storage space S1 is divided into an inlet chamber S11 and an outlet chamber S12 by the separation of the transverse partition structure 113 and the partition protrusion 125. The inlet chamber S11 communicates with the circumscribed inlet 121. The outlet chamber S12 communicates with the peripheral outlet 122, and the inlet chamber S11 and the outlet chamber S12 do not communicate directly through the obstruction of the peripheral portion 230 of the cover 200. The plate portion 310 has an impeller cavity inlet 311 and an impeller cavity outlet 312. The external inlet 121 communicates with the impeller accommodating chamber S3 through the inlet chamber S11 in the storage chamber S1 and the gap SG and the impeller chamber inlet 311. The impeller accommodation chamber S3 communicates with the outlet chamber S12 of the storage chamber S1 through the impeller cavity outlet 312 to the external outlet 122.
Referring to fig. 2 and 7, fig. 7 is a partially exploded view of fig. 1.

Further, the first communication port 111, which communicates the impeller housing chamber S3 with the heat exchange chamber S4, is offset from the rotation axis AR of the impeller 700 and is located at a tangential position of the impeller housing chamber S3. The impeller cavity inlet 311 is also offset from the axis of rotation AR of the impeller 700.
In this embodiment, the flow-type heat sink 10 may further include a flow blocking member 500, and the flow blocking member 500 is stacked on the heat conducting box 600.

The case 610 has a heat-absorbing surface 611. The heat absorbing surface 611 is thermally coupled to at least one heat source. The heat source is, for example, a central processing unit or an image processor. In addition, the box 610 has a plurality of heat dissipation fins 612 on a side away from the heat absorption surface 611, so as to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the fluid flow heat sink 10 and the heat source. The cover 620 is fixed to the case 610 by a bonding means such as welding, pressing, or gluing, for example, to serve as a cover for the heat exchange chamber S4. The box 610 is fixed to the bottom 110, and the cover 620 is disposed between the box 610 and the bottom 110. The cover 620 has a notch 621 and a first opening 622. The flow blocking member 500 is sandwiched between the cover 620 and the heat dissipating fins 612 and has a second opening 510. The second opening 510 is aligned with the first opening 622, and the impeller accommodation chamber S3 communicates with the second opening 510 through the first opening 622 to the heat exchange chamber S4. The baffle 500 limits the direction and range of water flow, for example, through the second opening 510. The external outlet 122 communicates with the heat exchange chamber S4 through the notch 621. The size of the second opening 510 is smaller than that of the first opening 622, and the second opening 510 is offset from the first communication opening 111.

Referring to fig. 2, 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a schematic perspective cross-sectional view of fig. 1. Fig. 9 is another perspective cross-sectional view of fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 2 and 8, when the fluid-flow heat sink 10 is operated, the coolant flows into the inlet chamber S11 of the storage chamber S1 from the external inlet 121 in the direction a. Then, the cooling fluid in the inlet chamber S11 sequentially flows into the gap SG between the plate portion 310 of the baffle 300 and the bottom 110 of the base 100 along the direction B, C, D. Then, the coolant in the gap SG flows into the impeller housing chamber S3 through the impeller cavity inlet 311 in the direction E. Then, the coolant in the impeller accommodating chamber S3 is driven by the impeller 700 to be thrown to the tangent of the impeller accommodating chamber S3 along the direction F, G, and then sequentially flows through the impeller cavity outlet 312 and the first communication port 111 along the direction H.
Then, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 9, the cooling liquid flows into the heat exchanging chamber S4 through the first opening 622 of the cover 620 in sequence along the direction I. The flow state of the cooling fluid is controlled through the second opening 510, so that the cooling fluid can flow into the micro flow channel between the heat dissipation fins 612 according to the heat exchange requirement. For example, the length design value, the width design value, or the shape of the opening may be adjusted according to the temperature distribution of the heat absorbing surface 611 in design, so as to concentrate the coolant flowing to the high temperature of the heat absorbing surface 611, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency to the high temperature of the heat absorbing surface 611. Then, the cooling liquid in the heat exchanging chamber S4 sequentially flows along the direction J, K, L, M, and flows out from the external outlet 122 through the notch 621 of the cover 620 and the second communication port 112.
Because the pairing is simple and convenient, only hole holes are needed, and the combination problem of the whole structure level faced by the design of the prior art is avoided, so that the flexibility of the later modification of the liquid flow type heat dissipation device is increased. Please refer to fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a flow-type heat sink according to a second embodiment of the utility model. The structure of the flow-through heat sink 10a of the present embodiment is similar to the structure of the flow-through heat sink 10 of the previous embodiment, and the difference is only that the heat conduction box 600a with a larger size is adopted in the present embodiment. I.e., the heat conductive case 600a is larger in size than the heat conductive case 600. That is, if there is a need to replace the large-sized heat conduction box 600a, the assembler can directly replace the small-sized heat conduction box with the large-sized heat conduction box 600 a.
Please refer to fig. 11-12. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a flow-type heat sink according to a third embodiment of the utility model. Fig. 12 is an exploded view of fig. 11.
The liquid-flow heat dissipation device 10b of the present embodiment is, for example, a water-cooling head, and is configured to be thermally coupled to at least one heat source (not shown) and to take away heat generated by the heat source through liquid cooling. The heat source is, for example, a central processing unit or an image processor. The fluid-flow heat sink 10b includes a base 100b, a cover 200b, a baffle 300b, a heat-conducting box 600b, an impeller 700b, and a driving assembly 750 b.
Referring to fig. 12 and 13, fig. 13 is a schematic perspective cross-sectional view of the base of fig. 12. The base 100b includes a bottom portion 110b and an annular wall portion 120 b. The annular wall portion 120b is connected to the bottom portion 110b, for example, integrally formed, and the bottom portion 110b and the annular wall portion 120b together enclose a storage chamber S1. For example, the base 100b is an integrally molded structure manufactured by means of injection molding.
In the present embodiment, the bottom portion 110b has a first communication opening 111b and a second communication opening 112 b. The first communication port 111b and the second communication port 112b communicate with the storage chamber S1. The bottom 110b may also have an annular partition structure 113b and a lateral partition structure 114 b. The annular partition structure 113b and the lateral partition structure 114b together divide the bottom space of the storage chamber S1 into three parts, which will be described later. The annular wall 120b of the base 100b has an external inlet 121b and an external outlet 122 b. The external inlet 121b and the external outlet 122b are respectively used for connecting a pipeline (not shown) through the first water nozzle 20b and the second water nozzle 30b, and are connected to a water cooling bar (not shown) through a pipeline. The external inlet 121b and the external outlet 122b are communicated with the storage chamber S1, and the first communication port 111b and the second communication port 112b are communicated with each other through the storage chamber S1. In addition, the annular wall 120b may have a top surface 123b and an annular groove 124 b. The annular groove 124b is located on the top surface 123b, and the annular groove 124b receives a seal ring 150 b.
Referring to fig. 12 and 14, fig. 14 is a perspective view of the sealing cap of fig. 12. The cover 200b is mounted on the annular wall portion 120b of the base 100b to close one side of the storage chamber S1. For example, the cover 200b includes a top portion 210b, a protrusion 220b and a surrounding portion 230 b. The top portion 210b is mounted to the annular wall portion 120b of the base 100b by, for example, screw locking. The top portion 210b is stacked on the top surface 123b of the annular wall portion 120b, and the top portion 210b and the annular wall portion 120b together sandwich the sealing ring 150b to prevent the liquid in the storage chamber S1 from leaking from the gap between the top portion 210b and the annular wall portion 120 b. The convex portion 220b and the surrounding portion 230b protrude from the same side of the top portion 210 b. Specifically, the protrusion 220b and the surrounding portion 230b both protrude from the top portion 210b toward the bottom portion 110b of the base 100 b. The surrounding portion 230b surrounds the protrusion 220b, and the surrounding portion 230b is separated from the protrusion 220 b. The protrusion 220b is a concave portion on a side away from the bottom 110b, and surrounds a driving assembly accommodating space S2. The driving assembly accommodating space S2 is not communicated with the storage chamber S1 by being blocked by the top portion 210 b. The surrounding portion 230b has a partitioning protrusion 231b protruding in the radial direction.
Referring to fig. 12 and 15, fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view of fig. 11. The partition protrusion 231b of the surrounding portion 230b of the cover 200b is at least partially pressed against the annular wall portion 120b of the base 100b to divide the upper space of the storage chamber S1 into two parts. That is, when the top portion 210b is stacked on the top surface 123b of the annular wall portion 120b, the partition protrusion 231b of the surrounding portion 230b abuts against the annular wall portion 120b to partition the storage chamber S1 into an inlet chamber S11 and an outlet chamber S12 together with the transverse partition structure 114b, which will be described later.
Referring to fig. 12 and 16, fig. 16 is a partially exploded view of fig. 11. The opposite sides of the baffle 300b are respectively overlapped on the bottom 110b of the base 100b and the surrounding part 230b of the cover 200 b. For example, the baffle 300b includes a plate portion 310b and a plurality of support posts 320 b. The plate portion 310b is stacked on the surrounding portion 230b, and the surrounding portion 230b, the protruding portion 220b and the flow guiding plate 300b together surround an impeller accommodating chamber S3.
The supporting pillars 320b protrude from the plate portion 310b on a side away from the surrounding portion 230b and abut against the bottom portion 110b, so that a gap SG is maintained between the plate portion 310b and the bottom portion 110b, and the plate portion 310b abuts against the annular partition structure 113b and the transverse partition structure 114 b. In this way, the annular partition structure 113b separates a channel C1, and the transverse partition structure 114b divides the gap SG into two regions which are not directly connected. The inlet chamber S11 communicates with the circumscribed inlet 121 b. The outlet chamber S12 communicates with the external outlet 122b, and the inlet chamber S11 and the outlet chamber S12 are not directly communicated by the blocking of the annular partition structure 113b, the lateral partition structure 114b and the partition protrusion 231 b. The plate portion 310b has an impeller cavity inlet 311b and an impeller cavity outlet 312 b. The circumscribed inlet 121b communicates with the impeller accommodation chamber S3 through the inlet chamber S11 of the storage chamber S1 and the gap SG and the impeller chamber inlet 311 b. The impeller accommodation chamber S3 communicates with the first communication port 111b through the impeller chamber outlet 312b and the passage C1. In addition, referring again to fig. 5, the first communication port 111b does not overlap the projection of the impeller chamber inlet 311b on the bottom 110b, and the first communication port 111b does not overlap the projection of the impeller chamber outlet 312b on the bottom 110 b.
Referring to fig. 12 and 17, fig. 17 is a partially exploded view of fig. 11. The heat conductive box 600b is disposed on the bottom 110b of the base 100b at a side away from the annular wall 120b, and the heat conductive box 600b has a heat exchanging chamber S4. The impeller accommodation chamber S3 communicates with the heat exchange chamber S4 through the storage chamber S1.
The external inlet 121b communicates with the impeller accommodating chamber S3 via the inlet chamber S11 of the storage chamber S1, and the impeller accommodating chamber S3 communicates with the heat exchange chamber S4 via the impeller chamber outlet 312b, the channel C1, and the first communication port 111 b. The heat exchange chamber S4 communicates with the outlet chamber S12 of the storage chamber S1 through the second communication port 112b with the external outlet 122 b. Further, the first communication port 111b that communicates the impeller housing chamber S3 with the heat exchange chamber S4 is offset from the rotation axis AR of the impeller 700 b. The impeller cavity inlet 311b is also offset from the axis of rotation AR of the impeller 700 b. The impeller cavity outlet 312b is located tangentially to the impeller receiving chamber S3.
In this embodiment, the liquid-flow heat dissipation device 10b may further include a flow blocking member 500b, and the flow blocking member 500b is stacked on the heat conduction box 600 b. The baffle 500b covers at least a portion of the first communication hole 111 b. In detail, the heat conductive box 600b includes a box body 610b and a cover 620 b. The case 610b has a heat-absorbing surface 611 b. The heat absorbing surface 611b is used for being thermally coupled to at least one heat source. The heat source is, for example, a central processing unit or an image processor. In addition, the box 610b has a plurality of heat dissipation fins 612b on a side away from the heat absorption surface 611b to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the fluid-flow heat sink 10b and the heat source. The cover 620b is fixed to the case 610b by a bonding means such as welding, pressing, or gluing, for example, to serve as a cover for the heat exchange chamber S4. The box 610b is fixed to the bottom 110b, and the cover 620b is interposed between the box 610b and the bottom 110 b. The cover 620b has a first opening 621b and a second opening 622 b. The flow blocking member 500b is sandwiched between the cover 620b and the heat dissipating fins 612b and has a third opening 510 b. The third opening 510b is aligned with the second opening 622b, and the impeller accommodation chamber S3 communicates with the heat exchange chamber S4 through the second opening 622b and the third opening 510 b. The flow baffle 500b limits the direction and range of water flow, for example, through the third opening 510 b. The external outlet 122b communicates with the heat exchange chamber S4 through the second opening 622 b.
In the present embodiment, the cover 620b and the flow blocking member 500b are two independent members, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the cover and the flow blocking member are integrally formed.
In the present embodiment, the flow blocking member 500b is located in the heat conductive box 600b, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the baffle may be located outside the thermally conductive cartridge.
In this embodiment, the liquid flow heat sink 10b may further include a sealing member 650 b. The seal 650b includes an outer sealing ring 651b, a first inner sealing ring 652b, and a second inner sealing ring 653 b. The first inner seal ring 652b is connected to the second inner seal ring 653b and is attached to the inside of the outer seal ring 651 b. The sealing member 650b is installed at a side of the bottom 110b of the base 100b facing away from the storage chamber S1. The first inner seal ring 652b surrounds the first communication port 111b to prevent the fluid flowing from the first communication port 111b to the first opening 621b from leaking out. The second inner seal ring 653b surrounds the second communication port 112b to prevent the fluid flowing from the second opening 622b to the second communication port 112b from leaking out.
In the present embodiment, the outer sealing ring 651b, the first inner sealing ring 652b, and the second inner sealing ring 653b are connected to each other, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the outer sealing ring, the first inner sealing ring and the second inner sealing ring may also be three independent elements.
Please refer to fig. 12 and fig. 15 again. The impeller 700b is rotatably located in the impeller receiving chamber S3. The driving assembly 750b is located in the driving assembly accommodating space S2 and is used for driving the impeller 700b to rotate relative to the base 100 b. In addition, the protrusion 220b, the surrounding portion 230b, the baffle 300b and the impeller 700b of the cover 200b are all located in the storage chamber S1 and surrounded by the annular wall portion 120 b.
Please refer to fig. 12 again. The liquid flow heat sink 10b may further include a control circuit board 800b and a shield 850 b. The control circuit board 800b is fixed on the top portion 210b of the cover 200b, and the control circuit board 800b is electrically connected to the driving element 750b to adjust the rotation speed of the driving element 750b through the control circuit board 800 b. If the control circuit board 800b is provided with additional light sources and temperature sensors, the control circuit board 800b can also perform light effect control and temperature monitoring. The shield 850b is fixed to the base 100b and covers the cover 200b, the driving unit 750b and the partial annular wall 120 b. The shield 850b has a function of protecting the control circuit board and the driving unit, and can be used as a mounting place for decoration and lamp effect.
In the embodiment, the fluid-flow heat dissipation device 10b is provided with the shield 850b, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the shield may also be omitted. Further, in the present embodiment, the shield 850b is, for example, but not limited to, an integrally molded piece or an assembly of a plurality of elements.
Referring to fig. 12, 18 and 19, fig. 18 is a schematic perspective cross-sectional view of fig. 11. Fig. 19 is another perspective cross-sectional view of fig. 11.
As shown in fig. 12 and 18, when the liquid flow type heat dissipating device 10b operates, the cooling liquid flows into the inlet chamber S11 of the storage chamber S1 from the external inlet 121b in the direction F1. Then, the coolant in the inlet chamber S11 flows into the gap SG between the plate portion 310b of the baffle 300b and the bottom 110b of the base 100b in the directions F2, F3, and F4 in order. Then, the coolant in the gap SG flows into the impeller accommodating chamber S3 through the impeller cavity inlet 311b in the direction F5. Then, the coolant in the impeller accommodating chamber S3 is driven by the impeller 700b to be thrown to the tangent of the impeller accommodating chamber S3 along the direction F6, and then sequentially flows through the impeller cavity outlet 312b, the channel C1 and the first communication port 111b at the tangent of the outer periphery of the impeller accommodating chamber S3 along the directions F7 and F8.
Then, as shown in fig. 12, 18 and 19, the cooling liquid flows into the heat exchanging chamber S4 through the second opening 622b and the third opening 510b of the cover 620b along the direction F9. The flow state of the cooling fluid is controlled through the third opening 510b, so that the cooling fluid can flow into the micro flow channel between the heat dissipating fins 612b according to the heat exchange requirement. For example, the design value of the length, the design value of the width, or the shape of the opening may be adjusted according to the temperature distribution of the heat absorbing surface 611b, so as to concentrate the coolant flowing to the high temperature of the heat absorbing surface 611b, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the high temperature of the heat absorbing surface 611 b. Then, the cooling liquid in the heat exchange chamber S4 flows in the directions F10, F11, F12, F13, and F14 in sequence, and flows out from the external outlet 122b through the second opening 622b and the second communication port 112b of the cover 620 b.
Please refer to fig. 20. Fig. 20 is an exploded view of a seat and a seal according to a fourth embodiment of the utility model. The sealing element 650c of the present embodiment is used to replace the sealing element 650b of the previous embodiments, and the connection relationship and the position relationship between the sealing element and the base 100b and the heat conducting box 600b are similar, so the description thereof is omitted. Only the base 100c and the seal 650c will be described below. The base 100c includes a bottom portion 110c and an annular wall portion 120 c. The bottom portion 110c has a first communication port 111c and a second communication port 112 c. The annular wall 120c has an external inlet 121c and an external outlet 122 c. The external connection inlet 121c and the external connection outlet 122c directly or indirectly communicate the first communication port 111c and the second communication port 112 c. The sealing member 650c is, for example, a plate and has a first through hole 651c and a second through hole 652 c. The first through hole 651c is aligned with the first communication port 111c and the first opening 621b of the heat conductive box 600b (as shown in fig. 17), and the size of the first through hole 651c is matched with the size of the first opening 621b to prevent the fluid communicated between the first communication port 111c and the first opening 621b from leaking. The second through hole 652c is aligned with the second communication port 112c and the second opening 622b of the heat conductive box 600b (as shown in fig. 17), and the size of the second through hole 652c is matched with the size of the second opening 622b, so as to prevent the fluid flowing between the second communication port 112c and the second opening 622b from leaking.
According to the liquid flow heat dissipation device of the embodiment, the annular wall part and the bottom part of the base are of an integrally formed structure and are bowl-shaped, so that the convex part and the surrounding part of the sealing cover, the flow guide plate and the impeller are all placed in the bowl-shaped base, the assembly procedure among the base, the sealing cover and the flow guide plate can be simplified, and the assembly difficulty of the liquid flow heat dissipation device is further reduced.
In addition, because the annular wall part and the bottom of the base are of an integrally formed structure and are bowl-shaped, most of the lower part of the storage chamber is sealed by the bottom, and only a small part of the annular wall part and the bottom of the storage chamber are provided with the first communicating port and the second communicating port which are communicated with the heat exchange chamber. Therefore, if the original heat conduction box of the liquid flow type heat dissipation device needs to be modified into a heat conduction box with a larger size, the liquid flow type heat dissipation device can be modified more flexibly in the future because the pairing is simple and convenient, only hole holes are needed, and the combination problem of the whole structure layer faced by the design of the prior art is avoided. On the contrary, the base designed by the prior art mostly adopts an outer cover type design, and the heat conducting plate is in an open type design, and the base and the heat conducting plate form a complete closed cavity together. Once the size or shape of the heat conducting plate is changed, the base and the heat conducting plate cannot form a closed cavity, so that the problem of redesign is caused.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims.
