Description

Heatsink

The present invention relates to a heat sink, more specifically, to arrange the heat dissipation fin and the blade in a multi-stage concentric circle, and then divide the area of the heat dissipation fin composed of the multi-stage concentric circles by mutual coupling to improve the flow of air to improve the cooling efficiency. It is about a heatsink which makes it possible.

Recently, according to the trend of high integration, high performance, and miniaturization of semiconductor chips and packages including the same, electronic products are rapidly becoming high performance. Accordingly, the performance of electronic products can be improved by quickly and efficiently dissipating heat generated therein during operation of electronic products. Various attempts have been actively made to keep it smooth, and this heat emission problem has become an important factor in the development of electronic products.

In particular, as the capacity of the CPU and the peripheral electronic components used in the electronic equipment becomes relatively large, the heat generation amount is extremely increased.

Thus, cooling means have been provided to stably provide the functions of electronic products.

First, the electronic chip cooling apparatus disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2004-52010 includes a terminal base which directly contacts a heating element such as a CPU and conducts heat, a heat pipe soldered on the upper end of the terminal base, A heat dissipation block soldered to the end of the heat pipe, a fan motor positioned at the center thereof to supply cooling fluid to the heat dissipation block, a base frame to which the fan motor and the terminal base are fixed, and a fan motor of the base frame. In the electronic chip cooling device consisting of a fan cover for blocking the most of the installation unit except the top center so that the cooling fluid can be efficiently introduced and discharged, by soldering the fan cover formed under the installation line of the heat pipe to the heat pipe By integrating, the heat pipe conducts heat to the room It is configured to be used as a heat sink to.

The electronic chip cooling device conducts heat generated from a heating element such as a CPU to the heat pipes 120 and 130 through the terminal base 110 and is moved to the heat dissipation blocks 140 and 150 formed at each end of the heat pipes 120 and 130. The heat moved to the heat dissipation blocks 140 and 150 is cooled by causing forced convection by driving the fan motor 160.

In addition, the cooling device for computer parts presented in the Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-600448 is a device for cooling the heat generating parts that generate heat during operation of the components built into the computer, can receive the heat generated from the heat generating parts. A heat transfer block which is tightly coupled to the heat generating parts; At least one heat pipe including a heat transfer block coupling portion coupled to the heat transfer block so as to receive heat from the heat transfer block, and a heat radiation fin coupling portion bent to form a curved shape; And a plurality of heat dissipation fins coupled to the heat dissipation fin coupling portion of the heat pipe, and spaced apart from each other along the heat dissipation fin coupling portion.

The cooling device for a computer component configured as described above serves to cool the heat by dissipating heat into the air from the part of the portion coupled to the heat block 10 through the heat pipe when heat is transferred from the heat-generating electronic component to the heat block. The plurality of heat dissipation fins are configured to cool the computer components by allowing the air flow generated by the cooling fan to pass through the heat dissipation fins to allow the air flow to be discharged to the outside in a spiral manner with respect to the rotation axis of the cooling fan.

However, the cooling device of the prior art as described above is made by applying an axial fan to flow the outside air along the rotational axis of the fan to pass through the heat radiating fins and then flow out in the axial direction. There was a problem falling.

That is, the temperature of the heat dissipation fin is cooled through an axial fan installed on the upper part of the heat dissipation fin through which heat of a heat generating component such as a CPU is transferred. The upper part of the heat dissipation fin is first touched by the wind by the wind generated by the axial fan. As it cools, it is allowed to cool in turn through a plurality of lower heat radiation fins.

At this time, the wind generated from the axial fan has a problem that the cooling intensity is lowered due to the low wind strength by the interference of the heat radiation fins.

As described above, as the cooling power of the lower portion of the heat sink fin close to the CPU drops due to the interference of the heat sink fins, the lower part of the heat sink fin near the CPU has a higher temperature, whereas the upper part of the heat sink fin far from the CPU has a relatively high temperature. There was a problem that the phenomenon that the lower the heat emission efficiency is lowered.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to form a heat sink by combining the heat sink with a centrifugal fan arranged in concentric circles of multiple stages, and then rotate the centrifugal fan so that each stage of the fin is repeatedly divided in and out of the air. To improve the flow.

In order to achieve this object, the heat sink of the present invention is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins spaced at equal intervals, and then arranged in concentric circles of multiple stages to form a channel between each single layer and a passage between the heat dissipation fins sequentially spaced at each end. By forming a plurality of heat sinks and a plurality of blades arranged in concentric circles of the plurality of stages so as to be disposed between the channels, the channel and the passages of each stage are alternately blocked by rotation, so that the difference between the internal and external air pressures by coupling with the heat sinks It is composed of a centrifugal fan that generates and introduces external air to the inside to release it to the outside.

According to the present invention, the heat dissipation plate is provided with a second flange for mounting the heat dissipation fins vertically upwards, and is configured by mounting the motor vertically upwards on the second flanges upper surface.

According to the present invention, the centrifugal fan provides a first flange for mounting the blade vertically downward on the bottom surface to form an inlet hole in the center of the first flange, the coupling block supported by the rib on the top surface is the center of the inlet hole It is positioned so as to be fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor by the coupling hole formed in the coupling block is configured to rotate the centrifugal fan.

According to the present invention, the passage has a space between the radiating fins sequentially spaced at equal intervals in a state in which the radiating fins are arranged in concentric circles in a plurality of stages, and the space is radially formed outwardly from the center of the second flange in a virtual arc shape.

According to the present invention, the blade is configured to be arranged to cross between the channel and the passage of each stage of the heat sink.

According to the present invention, the heat dissipation fin and the blade is formed so that one side has an inclined surface, the inclined surface is formed to have an angle from the outside to the inclined surface in the rotational direction of the centrifugal fan.

As described above, in the heat sink of the present invention, a heat sink is formed by combining a heat sink with a centrifugal fan having concentric fins arranged in multiple stages, and then rotating the centrifugal fan so that each end of the fin is repeatedly divided. There is an effect of improving the cooling efficiency by increasing the outside air inflow by making a difference in the pressure inside and outside the sink.
