On the basis of the passive heat dissipation scheme, the heat conduction to the air is quickened in a mode of improving the temperature difference between the heat dissipation fins 4 and the air by bringing more heat to the heat dissipation fins 4, so that the heat dissipation device is more efficient than a pure passive heat dissipation scheme.
As shown in fig. 1-2, in a preferred embodiment, the thermally conductive cover 2 is capable of wrapping around a PCB circuit board 11.
According to the present embodiment, the heat conducting cover 2 can completely wrap the PCB 11, so as to avoid the possibility of condensed water generated on the other surface (surface without the chip to be cooled) of the PCB 11 in case of failure of the temperature sensor 6.
In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, an upper region of the rectangular thin-walled PCB 11 is fixed with a rectangular frame to form the chip slot 111. A chip 12 is provided in the central region of the chip slot 111. One side of the chip 12 is fixed against the chip groove 111, and the opposite side is coated with a heat conductive agent 13 to enhance heat conductive performance. A first interface 112 for electrically connecting the temperature sensor 6 to the PCB 11 is provided in the chip slot 111 at a side lower part of the chip 12. 4 threaded holes are symmetrically excavated in four corners of the PCB 11. And a second interface 113 for electrically connecting the semiconductor refrigerator 3 to the PCB circuit board 11 is opened at the lower left corner of the PCB circuit board 11. The heat conductive cover 2 is also a rectangular parallelepiped thin-walled plate. The front part of the heat conductive cover 2 has a boss centering the elastic sealing ring 5 to be fastened to the elastic sealing ring 5. The thermally conductive cover 2 is hollow and has a groove structure 21 inside. And the bulge of the heat conduction cover 2 is tightly attached to the PCB 11 through the elastic sealing ring 5 after being buckled to the elastic sealing ring 5, so as to form a sealing space. Under the condition of thermal expansion and contraction of different materials, the inside of the heat conduction cover 2 is sealed relatively. The size of the heat conducting cover 2 is matched with that of the PCB 11, four corners of the heat conducting cover are symmetrically provided with four through holes, and the positions of the four through holes correspond to the positions of the four threaded holes respectively. In this way, the heat conductive cover 2 and the PCB circuit board 11 may be coupled together by four screws which are screwed to four screw holes through four through holes. A temperature sensor 6 is provided in the inner space of the heat conductive cover 2, and the temperature sensor 6 is connected to the first interface 112 through an electric wire. The rear plane of the heat conducting cover 2 is closely attached to the refrigerating surface of the semiconductor refrigerator 3 to enhance the refrigerating effect. The top of the semiconductor refrigerator 3 is lower than the bottom of the chip 12. The semiconductor refrigerator 3 is connected to the second interface 113 by an electric wire. The temperature sensor 6 detects the temperature of the chip 12 in real time and establishes connection with the PCB 11, the PCB 11 controls the semiconductor refrigerator 3 to stop working when receiving a temperature signal which is transmitted by the temperature sensor 6 and is lower than the room temperature, and the PCB 11 starts the semiconductor refrigerator 3 after receiving a temperature signal which is transmitted by the temperature sensor 6 and is higher than the room temperature. The condensation water can be collected to the groove structure 21 in a short time when the temperature sensor 6 fails, resulting in protection of the chip 12. The heat-generating surface of the semiconductor refrigerator 3 is closely attached to the heat sink 4. The heat sink 4 provides passive heat dissipation. And the PCB circuit board 11, the heat conductive cover 2, the semiconductor refrigerator 3 and the heat sink 4 form an ultra-thin heat dissipation structure arranged vertically.
The air cooling scheme of the chip 12 is stable and reliable but has large volume noise, and if the chip 12 needs to be ensured to be at a low temperature, larger volume or noise is needed. The air-cooled heat dissipation scheme utilizes heat transfer to dissipate heat to air, and the semiconductor refrigerator 3 is utilized to actively improve the temperature difference, so that the efficiency of heat dissipation to the air is improved, the volume is reduced, and the noise is reduced.
The liquid cooling scheme of the chip 12 is relatively costly or unreliable, and the low cost liquid cooling scheme can damage the electronic devices such as the chip 12 when liquid leaks. The present disclosure does not use a cooling liquid, and has the characteristics of small volume, small weight, and low cost.
The passive heat dissipation scheme of the chip 12 has low heat dissipation efficiency, and cannot guarantee effective cooling of the chip 12. The present disclosure may accelerate the conduction of heat to air by bringing more heat to the heat sink 4 based on the passive heat dissipation scheme to increase the temperature difference between the heat sink 4 and air, thereby enabling more efficient than the pure passive heat dissipation scheme.
Compressor refrigeration and semiconductor refrigeration present a temperature control risk. According to the heat-conducting cover 2, the temperature of the temperature sensor 6 is controlled, the sealing ring and the cover form a sealing structure, the refrigerating end is lower than the dislocation arrangement of the chip 12, the design of the lower part Fang Aocao in the heat-conducting cover 2 is achieved, the safety of the chip 12 and other equipment is ensured, and a safe, reliable, ultrathin and efficient heat-radiating device can be formed without using a high-cost processing technology for ensuring the air tightness.
The heat conduction cover 2, the semiconductor refrigerator 3 and the radiating fins 4 are sequentially arranged on the chip assembly 1 by fully considering the heat dissipation efficiency, the volume, the noise, the safety, the cost and the like, wherein the heat conduction cover 2 can conduct heat for the chip 12, the semiconductor refrigerator 3 actively dissipates heat for the chip 12, and the radiating fins 4 passively dissipate heat for the chip 12, so that an ultrathin heat dissipation structure which is vertically arranged is formed.
The semiconductor refrigerator 3 is controlled using a temperature sensor 6 located at the inner surface of the heat conductive cover 2 to avoid supercooling problems.
The heat conducting cover 2 seals the chip 12 through the elastic sealing ring 5, and forms a relative sealing space under the condition that the heat conducting cover 2 is of a hollow structure so as to prevent water vapor from being infinitely led in when the temperature sensor 6 fails, thereby forming excessive condensed water.
The heat conductive cover 2 is internally provided with a groove structure 21 for accommodating a small amount of condensed water when the temperature sensor 6 fails, providing additional safety redundancy.
The semiconductor refrigerator 3 is placed under the chip 12 so that condensed water does not flow onto the chip 12 or the PCB circuit board 11 when the temperature sensor 6 fails.
For passive heat dissipation, the heat dissipation efficiency is improved by increasing the temperature of the heat dissipation fins 4, so that a more efficient passive heat dissipation scheme is realized.
According to the application, the temperature control of the temperature sensor 6, the sealing structure formed by the elastic sealing ring 5 and the heat conducting cover 2, the staggered arrangement of the refrigerating end lower than the chip 12, the design of the groove structure 12 below the inner part of the heat conducting cover 2 and other methods are adopted, so that the safety of the chip 12 and other devices is ensured, and a safe, reliable, ultrathin and efficient heat radiating device can be formed without using a high-cost processing technology for ensuring the air tightness.
