A specific structure of an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 1 and 2.
The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, includes a housing 1, a heat sink 2, and a driving mechanism; an accommodating space is arranged inside the shell 1, and the heat sink 2 and the driving mechanism are both arranged in the accommodating space; the driving mechanism is connected with the heat dissipation member 2, and the heat dissipation member 2 can move in the accommodating space under the driving of the driving mechanism.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the drive mechanism comprises: a first drive assembly and a second drive assembly; the first driving assembly is connected with the second driving assembly, the first driving assembly is connected with the heat sink 2, and the second driving assembly is connected with the shell 1; the first driving component drives the heat sink 2 to move in a first direction relative to the housing 1, and the second driving component drives the first driving component to drive the heat sink 2 to move in a second direction relative to the housing 1.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the first driving assembly can be used to drive the heat sink 2 to move in a first direction, such as an X-axis direction or a transverse direction. The second driving component can be used to drive the first driving component to move the heat sink 2 connected thereto in a second direction, i.e., to drive and control the heat sink 2 to move in the second direction, where the second direction is, for example, a Y-axis direction or a longitudinal direction. The second direction is, for example, perpendicular to the first direction.
In the solution of the present application, the driving control of the moving position of the heat dissipation member 2 in the electronic device can be realized by the first driving component and the second driving component. That is, the heat dissipation member 2 can move relative to the housing 1 to move to a target position (i.e., a heat generation region) according to a heat source distribution condition in the electronic device, so that heat dissipation can be performed on the heat generation region in the electronic device, and heat is prevented from being accumulated inside the electronic device and damaging internal electronic devices.
In the related art, a heat sink is generally installed at a heat source position inside an electronic device and covers the heat source. Taking a smart phone as an example, the heat sources include a CPU, a UFS, a 5G radio frequency chip, a battery, a charging chip, a camera module, a speaker, and the like, and these heat sources are actually distributed at different positions in the phone. Under different application scenes, the working devices are different, and the positions of heating areas are different. Due to the limitations of space and structure in the electronic device, the size of the installed heat dissipation device cannot actually ensure to cover all heat sources in the electronic device, so that it is difficult to achieve an effective heat dissipation effect, and heat is still easily accumulated in the electronic device, which results in serious heat generation of the electronic device.

The first magnet 12 is connected to one end of the first slide rail 14, and the first slider 13 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 14. When a first current is applied to the first coil, the first slider 13 moves along the first slide rail 14 in a direction approaching the first magnet 12; when the first coil is energized with the second current, the first slider 13 moves along the first slide rail 14 in a direction away from the first magnet 12. Optionally, the first magnet 12 is a permanent magnet.
The first magnet 12 is capable of generating a permanent magnetic field.
After being electrified, the first coil cooperates with the first magnet 12, i.e. the first coil can generate driving force for the movement of the first slider 13 on the first slide rail 14.
By controlling the direction of the current passing through the first coil, and changing the stress condition of the first slider 13 in the magnetic field according to the characteristics of like mutual repulsion and opposite attraction, the first slider 13 can slide on the first slide rail 14, so that the heat sink 2 can be driven to move in a first direction (the X-axis direction or the transverse direction in fig. 2).
Wherein the first current is in an opposite direction to the second current.
In this way, the first coil can generate magnetic fields in different directions, so that the first coil and the permanent magnetic field of the first magnet 12 form the condition of like polarity repulsion and opposite polarity attraction.
Furthermore, the displacement distance of the first slider 13 on the first slide rail 14 can be adjusted by controlling the magnitudes of the first current and the second current, so that the heat sink 2 can be driven to move to a target position in, for example, a first direction.
The first coil may be wound around an outer wall of the first slider 13, for example, and is integrated with the first slider 13.

The first stop member 15 can be used to limit the maximum travel of the first slider 13 on the first slide rail 14, and also prevent the first slider 13 from slipping off the first slide rail 14, so as to ensure that the heat sink 2 can move normally in the first direction.
Referring to fig. 2, in this embodiment, the second driving assembly is similar in structure to the first driving assembly except that the second driving assembly is arranged in a different direction, and is used for driving the heat sink 2 to move in a second direction.
For example, referring to fig. 2, the second driving assembly includes a second magnet 16, a second slider 17 and a second slide rail 18, and a second coil is disposed on the second slider 17. The second magnet 16 is fixedly arranged on the housing 1, and the second slider 17 is connected with the first slide rail 14. The second magnet 16 is connected to one end of the second slide rail 18, and the second slider 17 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 18. When a third current is applied to the second coil, the second slider 17 moves along the second slide rail 18 in a direction approaching the second magnet 16. When the second coil is energized with a fourth current, the second slider 17 moves along the second slide rail 18 in a direction away from the second magnet 16. The second magnet 16 may be the same as the first magnet 12, such as a permanent magnet.
The second magnet 16 is capable of generating a permanent magnetic field.
After the second coil is energized, it cooperates with the second magnet 16, i.e. it can generate a driving force for the movement of the second slider 17 on the second slide rail 18.
By controlling the direction of the current passing through the second coil, and changing the stress condition of the second slider 17 in the magnetic field according to the characteristics of like mutual repulsion and opposite attraction, the second slider 17 can slide on the second slide rail 18, so that the first driving assembly and the heat sink 2 can be driven to move in a second direction (Y-axis direction or longitudinal direction in fig. 2).
Wherein the third current is in an opposite direction to the fourth current.
In this way, the second coil can generate magnetic fields in different directions, so as to form the condition of like polarity repulsion and opposite polarity attraction with the permanent magnetic field of the second magnet 16.
Furthermore, the displacement distance of the second slider 17 on the second slide rail 18 can be adjusted by controlling the magnitudes of the third current and the fourth current, so that the heat sink 2 can be driven to move to a target position in, for example, a second direction.
The second coil may be wound around an outer wall of the second slider 17, for example.
The second sliding block 17 may be made of a plastic material or a metal material, which is not limited in this application. The material of the second sliding block 17 may be the same as or different from the material of the first sliding block 13, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the material according to specific situations.
It should be noted that specific magnitudes and directions of the first current, the second current, the third current, and the fourth current may be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and this is not limited in this application.
Optionally, the first slide rail 14 of the first driving assembly is fixedly connected with the second slide block 17. In this way, the second slider 17 can carry the whole first driving assembly to move in the second direction (the longitudinal direction or Y-axis direction shown in fig. 2), so that the heat dissipation member 2 connected with the first driving assembly can be carried to move in the second direction, and the final purpose is to realize the position adjustment of the heat dissipation member 2 in the second direction.
Optionally, a second stop 19 is provided at an end of the second slide rail 18 remote from the second magnet 16.
The second stop 19 may be identical to the first stop 15, for example a stop.
The second stop member 19 can be used to limit the maximum travel of the second slider 17 on the second slide rail 18, and also can prevent the second slider 17 from slipping off the second slide rail 18, so as to ensure that the first driving assembly connected to the second slider 17 can stably drive the heat sink 2 to move in the second direction, so as to adjust the position of the heat sink 2 in the second direction.
For example, a groove is formed on the first slide rail 14, a steel ball is arranged at the moving end of the first slider 13, the steel ball is embedded in the groove and can slide in the groove, and the first slider 13 can slide on the first slide rail 14. Thus, the steel ball slide rail structure is formed, and has the characteristics of easy disassembly and assembly and smoothness and soundless motion.
The second slider 17 may have the same structure as the first slider 13, and the second slide rail 18 may have the same structure as the first slide rail 14. The second slide block 17 and the second slide rail 18 also form a structural form of a steel ball slide rail.
Referring to fig. 2, the embodiment can also achieve the effect of adjusting the position of the heat sink 2, thereby achieving efficient heat dissipation. The electromagnetic drive is utilized, and the electromagnetic drive has the characteristics of sensitive response, high control precision, small volume and light weight.
In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the heat sink 2 is a vapor chamber.
The vapor chamber has excellent heat-conducting property, heat generated by a heat source in the electronic equipment is transmitted to the evaporation end of the vapor chamber, and the internal condensate liquid quickly absorbs the heat and is converted into gas to absorb the heat; the gas is diffused to the condensation end under the driving of vapor pressure, is condensed into liquid and releases heat, and finally flows back to the evaporation end through the capillary structure. That is, the condensate is circulated in a 'gas-liquid/heat absorption-heat release' mode uninterruptedly, so that the high-efficiency heat conduction is realized, and the effect of reducing the temperature of a heat source is finally achieved.
Wherein, a heat-conducting gel layer is arranged on the bottom surface of the soaking plate.
The bottom of the soaking plate is coated with heat-conducting gel which has strong fluidity and is beneficial to heat conduction.

The heat dissipation member 2 is arranged inside the electronic device, and the heat dissipation member 2 can be driven by the first driving assembly and/or the second driving assembly to move in position, so that efficient heat dissipation is realized, and the electronic device is prevented from generating heat seriously.
The housing 1 is, for example, a middle frame of an electronic device, and the housing 1 and the rear cover may form an outer shell of the electronic device. The display screen is used for displaying information of the electronic equipment.
The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application is, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and the like, and the specific type of the electronic device is not limited in the application.
The application also provides a heat dissipation method, and the heat dissipation method is applied to the electronic equipment.
The heat dissipation method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps:
and S1, determining the heat generation area of the electronic equipment.
For example, the system collects the temperature inside the electronic device from a temperature sensor (NTC) integrated within the electronic device and identifies heat generating areas.
S2, when the heat dissipation member 2 is not located in the heat generation region, activating the driving mechanism (e.g., at least one of the first driving component and the second driving component) to move the heat dissipation member 2 to the heat generation region for heat dissipation.
Wherein, the system will judge whether the heat sink 2 covers the heating area first.
If the heat dissipation member 2 just covers the heating area, the heat dissipation member 2 can directly perform heat dissipation processing on the heating area, and at this time, the heat dissipation member 2 does not need to be driven and controlled to move in the electronic device.
If the heat dissipation member 2 does not cover the heat generation area, the relative distances Δ x and Δ y between the heat dissipation member 2 and the heat generation area need to be obtained (see fig. 1 and 2); the heat sink 2 is moved by the first drive assembly in the X-axis direction (i.e., laterally) by a distance ax, and the first drive assembly together with the heat sink 2 is moved by the second drive assembly in the Y-axis direction (i.e., longitudinally) by a distance ay. By adjusting the position of the heat radiating member 2 through this process, the heat generating area can be effectively covered.
Wherein, the heat sink 2 is selected to adopt a soaking plate.
When adjusting the position of the heat sink 2, the adjustment is not limited to the adjustment in the X direction and then the adjustment in the Y direction. The Y direction may be adjusted first and then the X direction, or only one of the two directions may be adjusted, which is related to the relative position of the heat dissipation member and the heat generation region, and this is not limited in this application.
S3, moving the heat sink 2 to a low temperature region to release heat after the temperature of the heat generating region is lowered to a target temperature, wherein the temperature of the low temperature region is lower than the target temperature.
For example, a temperature value of the heat-generating region is collected by a temperature sensor (i.e., NTC) in the electronic device, and when the heat-generating region is lowered to a target temperature and maintained at the target temperature for a certain period of time, the heat-dissipating member 2 may be moved to other lower temperature positions, so that the heat-dissipating member 2 can perform rapid heat dissipation.
The heat dissipation method can meet the heat dissipation requirements of heat sources at different positions in the electronic equipment.
