As shown in fig. 1, amodular heat sink 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a topheat spreader plate 10, an intermediateheat spreader plate 20, and a bottomheat spreader plate 30.
Wherein the middleheat dissipation plate 20 is stacked below the topheat dissipation plate 10; the bottomheat dissipation plates 30 are selectively stacked below the middleheat dissipation plates 20 and the number of the bottom heat dissipation plates is adjustable, cooling spaces are defined between the topheat dissipation plate 10 and the middleheat dissipation plate 20, between the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plates 30, and between two adjacent bottomheat dissipation plates 30.
Specifically, themodular heat sink 100 of the present embodiment may be configured according to the use requirement, and a plurality ofheat sources 200 or oneheat source 200 may be disposed between themiddle heat sink 20 and thetop heat sink 10 for cooling; or between themiddle heat sink 20 and thetop heat sink 10; theheat sources 200 are arranged between the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30, so that theheat sources 200 with lower cooling requirements or lower heating values are cooled through the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the topheat dissipation plate 10, and theheat sources 200 with higher cooling requirements or higher heating values are cooled through the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30;
furthermore, when there aremany heat sources 200 that need to be cooled, and only one bottomheat dissipation plate 30 is provided, and the cooling space of the modular cooling device cannot accommodate all theheat sources 200, one or more bottomheat dissipation plates 30 may be provided below the bottomheat dissipation plates 30, so as to meet the use requirements of different situations.
According to the modularheat dissipation device 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the topheat dissipation plate 10, the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 which are selectively stacked are arranged, the number of the bottomheat dissipation plates 30 is adjustable, and the number of heat dissipation spaces is adjusted by adjusting the number of the bottomheat dissipation plates 30, so that on the premise that the use requirements are met and the heat dissipation effect is ensured, on one hand, the modularheat dissipation device 100 is higher in universality, can meet the use requirements under various environments, improves the product competitiveness, does not need to be redesigned, and reduces the development cost; on the other hand, the cooling capacity of the cooling space defined by the middle cooling plate and thetop cooling plate 10 is lower than the cooling capacity of the cooling space defined by thebottom cooling plate 30, themiddle cooling plate 20 and the two adjacentbottom cooling plates 30, so that theheat sources 200 with different cooling requirements can be arranged in different cooling spaces, and different cooling requirements are met.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 includes: a bottom heatdissipation plate body 31, afirst side plate 32 and a second side plate 33 positioned at two ends of the bottom heatdissipation plate body 31;
as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the intermediateheat dissipation plate 20 includes: a middle heatdissipation plate body 21, and third andfourth side plates 22 and 23 located at both ends of the middle heatdissipation plate body 21; thefirst side plate 32 and thethird side plate 22 are located at one end of the same side, and the second side plate 33 and thefourth side plate 23 are located at the other end of the same side.
In this way, thethird side plate 22 and thefourth side plate 23 at both ends of the intermediate heatsink plate body 21 are stacked and disposed above thefirst side plate 32 and the second side plate 33 of the bottom heatsink plate body 31, respectively, and the heights of thefirst side plate 32 and the second side plate 33 and the heights of thethird side plate 22 and thefourth side plate 23 define the thickness of the cooling space between the adjacent bottomheat sink plates 30 and the thickness of the cooling space between the intermediateheat sink plate 20 and the bottomheat sink plates 30, respectively.
Therefore, the height of thefirst side plate 32 and the second side plate 33 or the height of thethird side plate 22 and thefourth side plate 23 can be adjusted, so that the size adjustment of the cooling space is simpler and more convenient, and the stacking placement between the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 is firmer and more reliable.
It can be understood that the bottom heatdissipation plate body 31 has a first cooling flow channel therein, thefirst side plate 32 and the second side plate 33 are configured as a cavity structure, a first water inlet and a first water outlet are respectively defined in thefirst side plate 32 and the second side plate 33, and both the first water inlet and the first water outlet are communicated with the first cooling flow channel. Therefore, the cooling liquid can flow into the first cooling flow channel through the first water inlet and flow out of the first cooling flow channel through the first water outlet, so that the cooling effect of the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 is better.
Similarly, a second cooling flow channel is formed in the middle heatdissipation plate body 21, a second water inlet e and a second water outlet f are respectively defined in thethird side plate 22 and thefourth side plate 23, and the second water inlet e, the second water outlet f and the second cooling flow channel are communicated. Therefore, the cooling liquid can flow into the second cooling flow channel through the second water inlet e and flow out of the second cooling flow channel through the second water outlet f, so that the cooling effect of the intermediateheat dissipation plate 20 is better.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first water inlet includes: a water inlet blind hole portion b and a water inlet through hole portion a communicating with each other, the first water outlet port including: the water inlet blind hole part b and the water outlet blind hole part c are respectively communicated with two ends of the first cooling flow channel, and the water inlet through hole part a is communicated with the second water inlet e, and the water outlet through hole part d is communicated with the second water outlet f.
That is, the water inlet blind hole portion b and the water outlet blind hole portion c communicate with the first cooling flow passage to define a cooling circuit of the bottomheat dissipation plate 30, the water inlet through hole portion a, the second water inlet e, the second cooling flow passage, the second water outlet f, and the water outlet through hole portion d communicate to define a cooling circuit of the middleheat dissipation plate 20.
Thus, the cooling liquid of the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the cooling liquid of the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 can be supplied through the same circulation loop, so that the structure of the modularheat dissipation device 100 is simpler, and the connection with the external circulation loop is more convenient and reliable.
It can be understood that, when there are a plurality of bottomheat dissipation plates 30, the water inlet through hole portion a and the water outlet through hole portion d of the uppermost bottomheat dissipation plate 30 are respectively communicated with the second water inlet e and the second water outlet f, and the plurality of bottomheat dissipation plates 30 located below are sequentially communicated with each other.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the topheat dissipation plate 10 includes: a top heat radiation plate body 11, afifth side plate 12 and a sixth side plate 13 which are positioned at two ends of the top heat radiation plate body 11, and one side of the top heat radiation plate body 11 departing from the middle heatradiation plate body 21 is constructed as aheat radiation fin 111. Therefore, thefifth side plate 12 and the sixth side plate 13 are provided to make the connection between thetop heat sink 10 and the intermediate heat sink 20 more firm and reliable, and theheat dissipation fins 111 are provided to make the heat dissipation effect of thetop heat sink 10 more stable and reliable.
In some embodiments, a first sealing member is disposed between the first water inlets of the two adjacent bottomheat dissipation plates 30 and between the first water outlets of the two adjacent bottomheat dissipation plates 30, and a second sealing member is disposed between the first water inlets of the bottomheat dissipation plates 30 and the second water inlets e of the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and between the first water outlets of the bottomheat dissipation plates 30 and the second water outlets f of the middleheat dissipation plate 20. Thus, the sealing performance of themodular heat sink 100 can be improved, so as to prevent theheat source 200 from being damaged due to the overflow of the cooling liquid, and improve the safety of themodular heat sink 100.
It can be understood that a first positioning assembly is disposed between two adjacent bottomheat dissipation plates 30, and a second positioning assembly is disposed between the middleheat dissipation plate 20 and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30. Thus, the assembly accuracy of themodular heat sink 100 can be improved, thereby further improving the sealing performance.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the middleheat dissipation plate 20 is provided withfirst mounting lugs 24 in the circumferential direction, and the bottomheat dissipation plate 30 is provided withsecond mounting lugs 34 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the assembling effect of themodular heat sink 100 can be further improved, and theheat source 200 in the cooling space can be more stably and reliably fixed.
