従来、この種の冷却装置は、以下のような構成となっていた。   Conventionally, this type of cooling device has the following configuration.

すなわち、受熱部と、この受熱部と放熱経路を介して接続した放熱部と、この放熱部と前記受熱部とを接続する帰還経路とを備え、前記受熱部は、発熱体に接触させて熱を吸収する受熱板と、この受熱板の表面を覆うとともに表面に流れ込んだ冷媒を蒸発させる受熱空間を形成する受熱カバーとを備え、前記帰還経路と前記受熱部を流入管で接続するとともに、この流入管には逆止弁を介在させ、前記受熱空間において、前記受熱板は、中心に冷媒流入部と、この冷媒流入部の外周に向けて放射状の溝を設けた拡散部を備え、前記流入管から前記冷媒流入部に向けて延設し、凝縮した冷媒を流入させる導入管を備える構成となっていた(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   That is, a heat receiving part, a heat radiating part connected to the heat receiving part via a heat radiating path, and a return path connecting the heat radiating part and the heat receiving part, the heat receiving part being in contact with the heating element to heat And a heat receiving cover that covers the surface of the heat receiving plate and forms a heat receiving space that evaporates the refrigerant that has flowed into the surface, and connects the return path and the heat receiving portion with an inflow pipe.

上記従来例における課題は、発熱体の面積が大きくなった場合、冷却装置の冷却効率が低下することであった。   The problem in the above conventional example is that the cooling efficiency of the cooling device decreases when the area of the heating element increases.

すなわち、上記従来例の冷却装置において、導入管から冷媒流入部に流れ込んだ冷媒は、一部が冷媒流入部に接触して受熱板より熱を受けて沸騰気化し、この際の急激な体積膨張によって、未沸騰の液相の冷媒とともに、拡散部上に高速な混相流(気相と液相)として拡散する。初期沸騰の後、未沸騰の液相の冷媒は、この拡散部の表面に薄い膜状で広がることになる。そして、発熱体からの継続的な加熱により、一瞬にして加熱され気化することによって、受熱板から継続的に気化熱を奪い冷却する。   That is, in the cooling device of the conventional example, a part of the refrigerant flowing into the refrigerant inflow part from the introduction pipe is brought into contact with the refrigerant inflow part and receives heat from the heat receiving plate to be boiled and vaporized. Therefore, it diffuses together with the non-boiling liquid phase refrigerant as a high-speed mixed phase flow (gas phase and liquid phase) on the diffusion part. After the initial boiling, the non-boiling liquid phase refrigerant spreads in the form of a thin film on the surface of the diffusion part. Then, by heating and vaporizing instantaneously by continuous heating from the heating element, the heat receiving plate is continuously deprived of vaporization heat and cooled.

しかし、発熱体が大面積の場合、発熱体の大きさに合わせて受熱板を大きくしただけでは、拡散部の外周まで冷媒の混相流が広がらず、冷却装置の冷却効率が低下するという課題があった。   However, if the heating element has a large area, simply increasing the size of the heat receiving plate according to the size of the heating element does not spread the multiphase flow of the refrigerant to the outer periphery of the diffusion section, and the cooling efficiency of the cooling device decreases. there were.

そこで本発明は、発熱体が大面積の場合でも、拡散部の外周まで冷媒の混相流が広がり、冷却装置の冷却効率を上げることを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to increase the cooling efficiency of the cooling device by spreading the multiphase flow of the refrigerant to the outer periphery of the diffusion portion even when the heating element has a large area.

そして、この目的を達成するために、本発明は、冷媒の流入口と排出口を備え発熱体からの熱を受ける受熱部と、前記冷媒の熱を放出する放熱部と、前記受熱部と前記放熱部とを接続する放熱経路と帰還経路とで構成し、前記冷媒を、前記受熱部、前記放熱経路、前記放熱部、前記帰還経路、前記受熱部へと循環させて熱の移動を行う冷却装置であって、前記受熱部は、発熱体に接触させて熱を吸収する受熱板と、この受熱板の表面を覆うとともに表面に流れ込んだ冷媒を蒸発させる受熱空間を形成する受熱カバーとを備え、前記帰還経路と前記受熱部を流入管で接続するとともに、この流入管には逆止弁を介在させ、
前記受熱空間において、前記受熱板は、中心に冷媒流入部と、この冷媒流入部の外周に向けて放射状の溝を設けた拡散部を有し、前記流入管または前記受熱カバーから前記受熱板に向けて延設し、凝縮した冷媒を前記受熱空間内に流入させる導入管を備え、前記導入管の前記受熱板側先端の内径は前記流入管の内径より大きいことを特徴とする。これにより所期の目的を達成するものである。
In order to achieve this object, the present invention includes a heat receiving portion that includes a refrigerant inlet and outlet and receives heat from a heating element, a heat radiating portion that releases heat of the refrigerant, the heat receiving portion, and the heat receiving portion. Cooling that includes a heat dissipation path and a return path that connect the heat dissipation section, and circulates the refrigerant to the heat receiving section, the heat dissipation path, the heat dissipation section, the return path, and the heat receiving section to transfer heat. The heat receiving portion includes a heat receiving plate that contacts the heat generating element to absorb heat, and a heat receiving cover that covers the surface of the heat receiving plate and forms a heat receiving space for evaporating the refrigerant flowing into the surface. The return path and the heat receiving part are connected by an inflow pipe, and a check valve is interposed in the inflow pipe,
In the heat receiving space, the heat receiving plate has a refrigerant inflow portion at the center and a diffusion portion provided with a radial groove toward the outer periphery of the refrigerant inflow portion, and is provided from the inflow pipe or the heat receiving cover to the heat receiving plate. An introduction pipe that extends toward and into which the condensed refrigerant flows into the heat receiving space, and has an inner diameter at the heat receiving plate side tip of the introduction pipe that is larger than an inner diameter of the inflow pipe. This achieves the intended purpose.

以上のように本発明は、冷媒の流入口と排出口を備え発熱体からの熱を受ける受熱部と、前記冷媒の熱を放出する放熱部と、前記受熱部と前記放熱部とを接続する放熱経路と帰還経路とで構成し、前記冷媒を、前記受熱部、前記放熱経路、前記放熱部、前記帰還経路、前記受熱部へと循環させて熱の移動を行う冷却装置であって、前記受熱部は、発熱体に接触させて熱を吸収する受熱板と、この受熱板の表面を覆うとともに表面に流れ込んだ冷媒を蒸発させる受熱空間を形成する受熱カバーとを備え、前記帰還経路と前記受熱部を流入管で接続するとともに、この流入管には逆止弁を介在させ、前記受熱空間において、前記受熱板は、中心に冷媒流入部と、この冷媒流入部の外周に向けて放射状の溝を設けた拡散部を有し、前記流入管または前記受熱カバーから前記受熱板に向けて延設し、凝縮した冷媒を前記受熱空間内に流入させる導入管を備え、前記導入管の前記受熱板側先端の内径は前記流入管の内径より大きいことを特徴とするものであり、冷却装置の冷却効率を上げることができるものである。   As described above, the present invention connects the heat receiving portion that has the refrigerant inlet and outlet and receives heat from the heating element, the heat radiating portion that releases the heat of the refrigerant, and the heat receiving portion and the heat radiating portion. A cooling device comprising a heat dissipation path and a return path, wherein the refrigerant is circulated to the heat receiving section, the heat dissipation path, the heat dissipation section, the return path, and the heat receiving section to transfer heat, The heat receiving section includes a heat receiving plate that contacts the heat generating element to absorb heat, and a heat receiving cover that covers the surface of the heat receiving plate and forms a heat receiving space that evaporates the refrigerant that has flowed into the surface, and the return path and the The heat receiving part is connected by an inflow pipe, and a check valve is interposed in the inflow pipe, and in the heat receiving space, the heat receiving plate is radially directed toward the refrigerant inflow part and the outer periphery of the refrigerant inflow part. A diffusion part provided with a groove, the inflow pipe or An introduction pipe extending from the heat-receiving cover toward the heat-receiving plate and allowing condensed refrigerant to flow into the heat-receiving space, and an inner diameter of the introduction pipe-side tip of the introduction pipe being larger than an inner diameter of the inflow pipe The cooling efficiency of the cooling device can be increased.

すなわち、本発明によれば、逆止弁が開き受熱空間内に供給された冷媒は、発熱体により暖められた受熱板と接触することで一部が沸騰気化し、この際の急激な体積膨張によって、未沸騰の液相の冷媒とともに、拡散部上に高速な混相流(気相と液相)として拡散する。   That is, according to the present invention, the check valve is opened and the refrigerant supplied into the heat receiving space is partially boiled by contact with the heat receiving plate warmed by the heating element, and the rapid volume expansion at this time Therefore, it diffuses together with the non-boiling liquid phase refrigerant as a high-speed mixed phase flow (gas phase and liquid phase) on the diffusion part.

このとき、受熱空間内に供給された冷媒は、導入管の受熱板側先端の内径が流入管の内径より大きいため、上記の混相流として受熱板側だけではなく、水平方向にも放射状に広がろうとし、導入管の内壁まで広がった後、拡散部上を高速に拡散し、拡散部全体に冷媒の混相流が供給され、拡散部全体から気化熱を奪い、発熱体を冷却することができる。結果として、冷却装置の冷却効率を上げることができるのである。   At this time, the refrigerant supplied into the heat receiving space has a radially larger not only in the heat receiving plate side but also in the horizontal direction as the mixed phase flow because the inner diameter of the leading end of the introduction pipe on the heat receiving plate side is larger than the inner diameter of the inflow pipe. After spreading to the inner wall of the introduction pipe, it diffuses at high speed on the diffusion section, and a multiphase flow of refrigerant is supplied to the entire diffusion section, taking heat of vaporization from the entire diffusion section and cooling the heating element. it can. As a result, the cooling efficiency of the cooling device can be increased.

また、受熱板12は、後述の図4でも説明するが中央に冷媒流入部21と、その周囲に放射状の溝22aを設けた拡散部22で構成されている。   The heat receiving plate 12 includes a refrigerant inflow portion 21 in the center and a diffusion portion 22 provided with a radial groove 22a around the heat inflow portion 21 as will be described later with reference to FIG.

It is the structure which connected the part 8. FIG.

そして、この放熱体17の界面に送風装置17aから外気を送風することで、放熱をさせている。なお、この放熱体17の界面からの放熱は、電気自動車1車内の暖房に活用することも出来る。   And heat is radiated by blowing outside air from the blower 17a to the interface of the heat radiating body 17.

Thus, the plurality of pipe lines 18 connect the heat radiation path 11a and the return path 11b, and the heat of the refrigerant 10 is transmitted to the entire fin 19 so that the heat radiation efficiency of the heat radiation unit 9 is increased.

以上が本発明の主要構成の説明である。   The above is the description of the main configuration of the present invention.

ここで、図2を用いて、冷却装置の基本動作と逆止弁動作条件について説明する。   Here, the basic operation of the cooling device and the check valve operation condition will be described with reference to FIG.

まず、冷却装置7の基本動作について説明する。半導体スイッチング素子6が発する熱は、受熱板12から受熱空間13内の液化した冷媒10へ伝わり、即座に沸騰気化することになる。   First, the basic operation of the cooling device 7 will be described. The heat generated by the semiconductor switching element 6 is transmitted from the heat receiving plate 12 to the liquefied refrigerant 10 in the heat receiving space 13 and instantly evaporates.

次に、沸騰後の冷媒10(気相と一部の未沸騰冷媒)は、受熱空間13と冷えた放熱体17との内部圧力差により冷媒駆動力が発生し、排出口16から放熱経路11aを経て放熱体17へ流入する。この時、冷媒の循環方向は、逆止弁20によって放熱経路11a方向へ固定される。   Next, the refrigerant 10 after boiling (the gas phase and a part of the non-boiling refrigerant) generates a refrigerant driving force due to an internal pressure difference between the heat receiving space 13 and the cooled heat radiating body 17, and the heat radiation path 11a from the discharge port 16 is generated. And then flows into the heat dissipating body 17. At this time, the circulation direction of the refrigerant is fixed in the direction of the heat radiation path 11 a by the check valve 20.

すなわち、冷媒10が沸騰するときに受熱空間13内の圧力は増加するが、逆止弁20の作用により冷媒10が逆流して流入管24側へ戻ることを防ぎ、かつ沸騰による体積膨張した冷媒10による受熱空間13内と冷やされた放熱体17内の圧力差により、外部動力を使用することなく、冷媒10を気相(蒸気)分と未沸騰の液相分の両方を混相流として排出口16から放熱経路11aを経て、確実に放熱体17へ輸送することができるのである。   That is, the pressure in the heat receiving space 13 increases when the refrigerant 10 boils, but the refrigerant 10 prevents the refrigerant 10 from flowing back due to the action of the check valve 20 and returning to the inflow pipe 24 side. Due to the pressure difference between the heat receiving space 13 and the cooled heat radiating body 17 due to the refrigerant 10, the refrigerant 10 is discharged as a mixed phase flow of both the vapor phase (vapor) and the non-boiling liquid phase without using external power. It can be reliably transported from the outlet 16 to the heat dissipating body 17 through the heat dissipating path 11a.

そして、冷媒10の気相分が、外気により冷却された放熱体17の内壁面に接触し凝縮することで凝縮熱を放熱体17へ伝え、さらに、放熱体17の内壁面からフィン19の外壁表面へと伝わり、最終的には外気と熱交換することで放熱されることになる。   The vapor phase component of the refrigerant 10 contacts the inner wall surface of the radiator 17 cooled by the outside air and condenses, so that the heat of condensation is transmitted to the radiator 17, and from the inner wall surface of the radiator 17 to the outer wall of the fin 19. It is transmitted to the surface, and finally it is dissipated by exchanging heat with the outside air.

さらに、凝縮により液化した冷媒10は、帰還経路11bを流れて流入管24内で流入口15の逆止弁20上に停留し、所定の逆止弁20の動作条件下で弁が開動した瞬間に、冷媒10は再び受熱空間13内へと流入する。通常この一連のサイクルを繰り返すことにより安定的な冷却が可能となる。   Further, the refrigerant 10 liquefied by the condensation flows through the return path 11 b and stops on the check valve 20 of the inlet 15 in the inflow pipe 24, and the moment when the valve is opened under a predetermined operating condition of the check valve 20. In addition, the refrigerant 10 flows into the heat receiving space 13 again. Usually, stable cooling is possible by repeating this series of cycles.

続いて所定の逆止弁20の動作条件について説明する。通常加熱での沸騰動作が継続している場合の逆止弁20は、逆止弁20の上流側圧力Pu(帰還経路11b内圧力+流入管24内の停留冷媒水頭圧)と受熱空間13によって与えられる逆止弁20の下流側圧力Pbがほぼバランスしており閉鎖状態となる。   Next, the operating conditions of the predetermined check valve 20 will be described. The check valve 20 when the boiling operation by the normal heating is continued is determined by the upstream pressure Pu of the check valve 20 (pressure in the return path 11b + retained refrigerant head pressure in the inflow pipe 24) and the heat receiving space 13. The applied downstream pressure Pb of the check valve 20 is almost balanced and is closed.

通常、このまま加熱が継続され受熱空間13内での冷媒の気化がさらに進むと、温度と飽和蒸気圧が一定であっても、逆止弁20の上流側への冷媒供給は継続されるため停留冷媒の水頭圧は、除々に増加して行くことになる。そのため、ある瞬間に逆止弁20の上流側圧力Pu>逆止弁20の下流側圧力Pbとなる状態が発生し、逆止弁20が開動する。   Normally, when heating is continued as it is and vaporization of the refrigerant further proceeds in the heat receiving space 13, the refrigerant supply to the upstream side of the check valve 20 is continued even if the temperature and the saturated vapor pressure are constant. The water head pressure of the refrigerant will gradually increase. Therefore, at a certain moment, a state where the upstream pressure Pu of the check valve 20> the downstream pressure Pb of the check valve 20 occurs, and the check valve 20 opens.

そして、圧力差の増加水頭圧分だけの冷媒量が導入管23を通って受熱空間13へ流入し、逆止弁20の両側の圧力がバランスする状態になったタイミングで、再度閉鎖することになる。この一連の逆止弁20の動作により冷媒の供給サイクルを実現している。実際の逆止弁20の開閉のタイミングは、ある程度の時間間隔で発生するが、装置の仕様(発熱量や装置内冷媒封入量、さらに弁の剛性)などでも変化するため、必ずしも同一とはならない。   Then, the refrigerant amount corresponding to the increased head pressure of the pressure difference flows into the heat receiving space 13 through the introduction pipe 23, and is closed again at the timing when the pressures on both sides of the check valve 20 are balanced. Become. A refrigerant supply cycle is realized by the operation of the series of check valves 20. The actual opening / closing timing of the check valve 20 occurs at a certain time interval, but it is not necessarily the same because it varies depending on the specifications of the device (the amount of heat generated, the amount of refrigerant contained in the device, and the rigidity of the valve). .

次に、図4を用いて受熱空間13内での受熱の基本的なメカニズムと所定の逆止弁20の動作について追加説明を行う。   Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the basic mechanism of heat reception in the heat receiving space 13 and the operation of the predetermined check valve 20 will be additionally described.

まず、受熱空間13内での受熱メカニズムとしては、以下の沸騰現象が発生している。図4に示すように、逆止弁20が開いて受熱空間13内へ流入した冷媒は、導入管23によって受熱板12の冷媒流入部21に導かれ、一部が受熱板12より熱を受けて沸騰気化し、この際の急激な体積膨張によって導入管23の開口と拡散部22の隙間から外周部へ高速な混相流(気相と液相)として拡散部22上を放射状に拡散する。図4(b)のハッチングで示す領域は、図4(a)の矢印で示す混相流の拡散域を表している。   First, as a heat receiving mechanism in the heat receiving space 13, the following boiling phenomenon has occurred. As shown in FIG. 4, the refrigerant that has flowed into the heat receiving space 13 when the check valve 20 is opened is guided to the refrigerant inflow portion 21 of the heat receiving plate 12 by the introduction pipe 23, and part of the refrigerant receives heat from the heat receiving plate 12. Then, the gas is boiled and vaporized, and diffused radially on the diffusion portion 22 as a high-speed multiphase flow (gas phase and liquid phase) from the gap between the opening of the introduction pipe 23 and the diffusion portion 22 to the outer peripheral portion by rapid volume expansion. A region indicated by hatching in FIG. 4B represents a multiphase flow diffusion region indicated by an arrow in FIG.

この拡散部22は、放射状の流路である溝22aが中心部から外周部へ拡大する構造をしており広い沸騰表面積を有している。初期沸騰の後、未沸騰の液相の冷媒10は、この拡散部22の表面に薄い膜状で広がることになる。そして、半導体スイッチング素子6からの継続的な加熱により、この放射状の流路において一瞬にして加熱され気化するため、極めて高い伝達係数を維持した高効率な受熱性能を達成することが可能である。   The diffusion portion 22 has a structure in which the groove 22a, which is a radial flow path, expands from the central portion to the outer peripheral portion, and has a wide boiling surface area. After the initial boiling, the non-boiling liquid phase refrigerant 10 spreads in the form of a thin film on the surface of the diffusion portion 22. Then, the continuous heating from the semiconductor switching element 6 heats and vaporizes instantaneously in this radial flow path, so that it is possible to achieve highly efficient heat receiving performance while maintaining an extremely high transfer coefficient.

本実施の形態では、例えば、冷媒10に水を使用した場合などでは、受熱空間13内の圧力を大気圧よりも低く設定すること(外気温20℃の場合、水の飽和蒸気圧は−97KPa程度)で、大気圧中の水の沸騰に比べて低い温度で沸騰させることができるため、高い冷却性能を可能としている。   In the present embodiment, for example, when water is used as the refrigerant 10, the pressure in the heat receiving space 13 is set to be lower than the atmospheric pressure (when the outside air temperature is 20 ° C., the saturated vapor pressure of water is −97 KPa). Therefore, it is possible to boil at a temperature lower than that of water at atmospheric pressure, so that high cooling performance is possible.

これにより、半導体スイッチング素子6の熱を効率的に奪い、冷却することができる。つまり、水の蒸発潜熱によって、半導体スイッチング素子6の熱を奪うものであって、かつ前記したように受熱板12上で薄い膜状に広がった冷媒10を一瞬にして加熱し気化させることで、単に溜め込んだ水を加温し沸騰させるものに比べて、非常に高い熱伝達係数が得られ、奪う熱量も極めて大きくすることが可能である。   Thereby, the heat of the semiconductor switching element 6 can be efficiently taken and cooled. That is, the heat of the semiconductor switching element 6 is taken away by the latent heat of evaporation of water, and the refrigerant 10 spreading in a thin film shape on the heat receiving plate 12 as described above is heated and vaporized instantaneously. The heat transfer coefficient is much higher than that obtained by simply warming and boiling the accumulated water, and the amount of heat lost can be greatly increased.

以上の様な受熱空間13内での連続的な沸騰を可能とすることで、規則的な受放熱のサイクルが、維持でき、高性能な冷却装置を実現することができることになる。   By enabling continuous boiling in the heat receiving space 13 as described above, a regular heat receiving and radiating cycle can be maintained, and a high-performance cooling device can be realized.

このように半導体スイッチング素子6の冷却を安定して行なうことができるので、特に気相と液相の冷媒循環方向に関しては、逆止弁によって一方向に固定可能であるためフラッティング現象(冷媒が逆流することで熱輸送方向が定まらず冷却効率が著しく低下する状態)のような課題も防止でき、冷却装置の動作安定性を向上させることができる。   Since the semiconductor switching element 6 can be stably cooled in this way, the flattening phenomenon (refrigerant is reduced in particular) can be fixed in one direction by the check valve, particularly in the gas-phase and liquid-phase refrigerant circulation directions. The reverse flow can prevent problems such as a state in which the heat transport direction is not determined and the cooling efficiency is significantly reduced, and the operational stability of the cooling device can be improved.

また、本発明による冷却装置での冷媒駆動力は、前記した通り、沸騰による受熱空間13の圧力と外気により低温低圧状態である放熱体17との間の圧力差によって発生するものであり、他の特別な冷媒駆動装置を全く必要としない構成となっている点は、省エネルギーの観点からも極めて有効な冷却装置を実現することを可能とするものである。   In addition, as described above, the refrigerant driving force in the cooling device according to the present invention is generated by the pressure difference between the pressure in the heat receiving space 13 due to boiling and the radiator 17 that is in a low temperature and low pressure state due to the outside air. The point that the special refrigerant driving device is not required at all makes it possible to realize a very effective cooling device from the viewpoint of energy saving.

また、このように冷媒10は、前記した通り冷却装置7内の圧力バランスにより駆動されるため、受熱部8と放熱部9とを離して配置することも可能である。   Since the refrigerant 10 is driven by the pressure balance in the cooling device 7 as described above, the heat receiving portion 8 and the heat radiating portion 9 can be arranged separately from each other.

言い換えれば塵埃や水滴に弱いインバータ回路5と外気を当てて効率よく冷却を行ないたい放熱部9とを電気自動車1のフロントグリル4aと車室前方4といったように離して設置することも可能となるため信頼性の面でも有利であり、電気自動車1のより安定した走行性能を確保することに大きく貢献できることになる。   In other words, the inverter circuit 5 that is sensitive to dust and water droplets and the heat dissipating part 9 that is to be cooled efficiently by applying outside air can be installed separately such as the front grill 4a of the electric vehicle 1 and the front 4 of the passenger compartment. Therefore, it is advantageous in terms of reliability, and can greatly contribute to ensuring more stable running performance of the electric vehicle 1.

さて、以上のように本発明の基本部分について説明をしたが、以下に本実施の形態において最も重要な特徴である、発熱体の面積が大きくなった場合の、導入管23について、図5〜図7を用いて説明を加える。各図(b)のハッチングで示す領域は、各図(a)で示す矢印の混相流の拡散域を表している。   Now, the basic portion of the present invention has been described as above, but the introduction pipe 23 when the area of the heating element, which is the most important feature in the present embodiment, is increased as shown in FIG. A description will be added with reference to FIG. The area indicated by hatching in each figure (b) represents the diffusion region of the multiphase flow indicated by the arrow shown in each figure (a).

図7(a)は、課題で説明した、図4の発熱体の面積が大きくなり、発熱体の大きさに合わせて受熱板を大きくしただけの従来の場合で、図7(b)は混相流の拡散域が拡散部22全体まで広がらない状態を示している。   FIG. 7A shows a conventional case where the area of the heating element shown in FIG. 4 is increased, and the heat receiving plate is enlarged according to the size of the heating element, and FIG. The flow diffusion region does not extend to the entire diffusion portion 22.

これに対し、本実施形態の図5(a)は、導入管23aの内径を流入管24の内径の約3倍とした構成となっている。この導入管23aにより、逆止弁20から受熱空間13内へ供給された冷媒は、図7(a)に示す導入管23aの内径と流入管24の内径が同じ場合に比べ、図5(b)、図7(b)に示すように、図5の方が拡散域が広範囲となり、拡散部22全面に冷媒の混相流が供給され、拡散部22全体での沸騰気化により冷却効率を高めることが可能となる。   On the other hand, FIG. 5A of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the inner diameter of the introduction pipe 23 a is about three times the inner diameter of the inflow pipe 24. The refrigerant supplied from the check valve 20 into the heat receiving space 13 by the introduction pipe 23a is compared with the case where the inner diameter of the introduction pipe 23a and the inner diameter of the inflow pipe 24 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, the diffusion region is wider in FIG. 5, and the mixed phase flow of the refrigerant is supplied to the entire surface of the diffusion unit 22, and the cooling efficiency is increased by boiling and vaporization in the entire diffusion unit 22. Is possible.

すなわち、導入管23aの内径を流入管24の内径より大きくした構成により、冷媒の拡散速度が最高になる位置X(=開口面積が最小になる位置)が、冷媒流入部21からより遠くなり、拡散部22全面に冷媒の混相流が供給される。   That is, with the configuration in which the inner diameter of the introduction pipe 23a is made larger than the inner diameter of the inflow pipe 24, the position X at which the refrigerant diffusion speed is highest (= the position where the opening area is minimized) is further away from the refrigerant inflow section 21; A multiphase flow of refrigerant is supplied to the entire surface of the diffusion unit 22.

また、逆止弁20の流入管24内の位置は、受熱部8側先端に近い方がよい。図5(a)に示すように、受熱部8側先端に逆止弁20を設けた場合、逆止弁20から受熱空間13内へ供給され気化した冷媒は、受熱板12に沿って水平方向に広がりやすく、拡散速度ベクトルはほとんどが水平成分となり、導入管23aから拡散部22の溝22a内への移動後も拡散速度ベクトルの水平成分が残っており、水平方向に広がりやすい。   Further, the position of the check valve 20 in the inflow pipe 24 is preferably close to the tip of the heat receiving portion 8 side. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the check valve 20 is provided at the end of the heat receiving portion 8, the vaporized refrigerant supplied from the check valve 20 into the heat receiving space 13 is horizontal along the heat receiving plate 12. Most of the diffusion velocity vector becomes a horizontal component, and the horizontal component of the diffusion velocity vector remains after moving from the introduction tube 23a into the groove 22a of the diffusion portion 22, and is easily spread in the horizontal direction.

また、導入管23aの長さは、導入管23a下端面と受熱板12上面との距離から決められ、図5(a)に示すように、1mm程度の隙間となる長さが好ましい。隙間を開けることにより、拡散部22の溝22aだけでなく、拡散部22全体に冷媒の混相流が広がり、拡散部22全体を伝熱面とできる。ただし、隙間が大きくなると、この隙間を含めた開口を通過する混相流の冷媒の拡散速度が遅くなり、図5(b)のハッチングで示した拡散域全体に冷媒が広がらない恐れがあり、隙間の大きさは、この開口部の拡散速度が拡散域全体に冷媒が広がる速度となるように決められる。   Further, the length of the introduction pipe 23a is determined from the distance between the lower end surface of the introduction pipe 23a and the upper surface of the heat receiving plate 12, and as shown in FIG. By opening the gap, the multiphase flow of the refrigerant spreads not only in the groove 22a of the diffusion portion 22 but also in the entire diffusion portion 22, and the entire diffusion portion 22 can be used as a heat transfer surface. However, if the gap becomes large, the diffusion speed of the refrigerant in the multiphase flow passing through the opening including this gap becomes slow, and the refrigerant may not spread over the entire diffusion region indicated by hatching in FIG. Is determined so that the diffusion speed of the opening is a speed at which the refrigerant spreads over the entire diffusion region.

また、導入管23aの径は、溝22aの長さの約1/2としたが、冷媒10の拡散速度に大きく影響するため、発熱体の面積に応じて決定される必要があり、拡散部22上へ均一に冷媒10を広げることが可能な拡散速度が得られる導入管23aの径を選択することが望ましい。   Further, although the diameter of the introduction pipe 23a is about ½ of the length of the groove 22a, it greatly affects the diffusion speed of the refrigerant 10 and therefore needs to be determined according to the area of the heating element. It is desirable to select the diameter of the introduction pipe 23a that provides a diffusion rate that can spread the refrigerant 10 uniformly over the area 22.

また、導入管23aは受熱カバー14と一体で形成することにより、製造も容易になり、前述した隙間の精度も向上できる。   Further, by forming the introduction pipe 23a integrally with the heat receiving cover 14, the manufacture becomes easy, and the accuracy of the gap described above can be improved.

このように、図5の構成によって、発熱体の面積が大きくなっても、発熱体の面積が標準の場合とほとんど変わらない、極めて高い伝達係数を維持した高効率な受熱性能を達成することが可能となる。   Thus, the configuration of FIG. 5 can achieve highly efficient heat receiving performance with an extremely high transfer coefficient that is almost the same as the standard case even when the area of the heating element is increased. It becomes possible.

(実施の形態2)
図5と同じ構成は同一番号を付し、詳細な説明は省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
The same components as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

図6の導入管23bは、図5の導入管23aとは形状が異なり、その内径が受熱カバー14側から受熱板12側へ漸次拡大している。   The introduction pipe 23b in FIG. 6 is different in shape from the introduction pipe 23a in FIG. 5, and its inner diameter gradually increases from the heat receiving cover 14 side to the heat receiving plate 12 side.

この構成により、逆止弁20から受熱空間13内へ供給され一部気化した冷媒は、導入管23bの内壁の緩やかな傾斜に沿ってほぼ斜め下方向に広がりやすく、拡散速度ベクトルも垂直成分より水平成分の方が大きいため、図5と同様、導入管23bの最下面から拡散部22の溝22a内への移動後も拡散速度ベクトルの水平成分が残っており、水平方向に広がりやすい。   With this configuration, the refrigerant that is supplied from the check valve 20 into the heat receiving space 13 and partially vaporized is likely to spread substantially obliquely downward along the gentle slope of the inner wall of the introduction pipe 23b, and the diffusion velocity vector also has a higher vertical component than the vertical component. Since the horizontal component is larger, the horizontal component of the diffusion velocity vector remains after the movement from the lowermost surface of the introduction tube 23b into the groove 22a of the diffusion portion 22 as in FIG. 5, and it tends to spread in the horizontal direction.

導入管23bの径と長さ、および受熱カバー14との一体形成についても、図5と同様で、図5と比べたメリットは、混相流の導入管23bとの衝突が緩和、すなわち図5のような直交的な衝突がなく、圧損が少ない状態で、導入管23b最下面の最小開口部を通過するため、図5に比べ開口部を通過する拡散速度が速くなる点であり、より確実に冷媒を拡散域全体に広げることができる。   The diameter and length of the introduction pipe 23b and the integral formation with the heat receiving cover 14 are the same as in FIG. 5, and the merit compared to FIG. 5 is that the collision with the introduction pipe 23b of the multiphase flow is reduced, that is, in FIG. Since there is no such an orthogonal collision and there is little pressure loss, it passes through the minimum opening on the lowermost surface of the introduction pipe 23b, so the diffusion speed passing through the opening is faster than in FIG. The refrigerant can be spread over the entire diffusion zone.

以上のように、導入管23a、23bの受熱板12側先端の内径を流入管24の内径より大きくしたことにより、受熱空間内に供給された冷媒10は、受熱板12側だけではなく、水平方向にも放射状に広がろうとし、導入管の内壁まで広がった後、拡散部22上を高速に拡散する。   As described above, since the inner diameters of the leading ends of the introduction pipes 23a and 23b on the side of the heat receiving plate 12 are made larger than the inner diameter of the inflow pipe 24, the refrigerant 10 supplied into the heat receiving space is not limited to the heat receiving plate 12 side. It spreads radially in the direction, spreads to the inner wall of the introduction tube, and then diffuses on the diffusion portion 22 at high speed.

従って、拡散部22全体に冷媒10の混相流が供給され、拡散部22全体から気化熱を奪い、冷却することができる。すなわち、冷媒の拡散速度が最高になる位置X(=開口面積が最小になる位置)を冷媒流入部からより遠い位置とすることにより、拡散部22全体に十分な冷媒10の混相流を供給できるようになり、面積が大きな発熱体に対しても冷却効率を向上させることが可能な冷却装置を提供することができるのである。   Therefore, the mixed phase flow of the refrigerant 10 is supplied to the entire diffusion unit 22, and the heat of vaporization can be taken from the entire diffusion unit 22 to be cooled. That is, by setting the position X at which the refrigerant diffusion speed is maximum (= the position where the opening area is minimum) as a position farther from the refrigerant inflow part, a sufficient mixed phase flow of the refrigerant 10 can be supplied to the entire diffusion part 22. Thus, it is possible to provide a cooling device capable of improving the cooling efficiency even for a heating element having a large area.

本発明によれば、発熱体の大きさに因らず、規則的な受熱と放熱のサイクルを維持し、冷却性能の安定した冷却装置が得られるので、電気自動車の駆動装置としての電力変換装置や高速演算処理装置等の冷却に有用である。   According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a cooling device that maintains a regular heat receiving and radiating cycle regardless of the size of the heating element and has a stable cooling performance. And is useful for cooling high-speed arithmetic processing devices.
