Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is noted that the aspects described below in connection with the figures and the specific embodiments are only exemplary and should not be understood as imposing any limitation on the scope of the present invention.
Because the radiating scheme of current for two-sided heat conduction device sets up the water-cooling board respectively on two sides of two-sided heat conduction device, and the water-cooling board has relatively poor temperature uniformity because of the one-way mobility of its coolant liquid, and the radiating effect can constantly worsen along with the thermal continuous accumulation of cooling liquid in the runner, consequently for improving by the radiating equilibrium of heat dissipation device, according to the utility model discloses an aspect provides a two-sided heat abstractor for carry out two-sided heat dissipation for the power device of the two-sided heat conduction of platyzization.
The flattening refers to that the shape of the power device is flattened, and the power device has two relatively flat opposite planes so as to be clamped in a gap of the double-sided heat dissipation device. The double-sided heat conduction means that the two planes are made of materials capable of conducting heat, so that the double-sided heat conduction device provided by the scheme is in contact with the two planes capable of conducting heat respectively to absorb heat.
Be two-sided heat-conducting device by the heat abstractor, realization that two-sided heat-conducting device can maximize the utility model provides a two-sided heat abstractor's radiating effect. However, in this case, only one side of the double-sided heat dissipation device is used for dissipating heat of the device to be dissipated, so the heat dissipation effect cannot meet the expectation of the original design of the present invention on double-sided heat dissipation.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the double-sided heat dissipation device 100 includes a flat heat pipe 110 and a water cooling plate 120.
The flat heat pipe 110 utilizes evaporation cooling, so that the temperature difference between two ends of the flat heat pipe 110 is large, and heat can be conducted quickly. The flat heat pipe 110 is pumped to a negative pressure state and filled with a proper working medium, and the working medium has a low boiling point and is easy to volatilize after absorbing heat.
It can be understood that the working medium with different working temperatures can be selected according to different applications of the device to be cooled, for example, when the double-sided heat dissipation module in the inverter is used for heat dissipation, the working medium in the flat heat pipe 110 can be selected to be working medium with a working temperature of 35 ℃ to 100 ℃.
It can be understood that depending on the choice of the working medium material in the flat heat pipe 110, the flat heat pipe may also be made of a material having a high thermal conductivity coefficient compatible with the working medium, thereby reducing the thermal resistance between the working medium and the flat heat pipe housing.
The flat-plate heat pipe 110 generally includes an evaporation section 111 and a condensation section 112. The evaporator end 111 is generally the area that comes into contact with the heat-dissipated device 130 for absorbing heat from the heat-dissipated device. For the same flat heat pipe 110, the region and position of the evaporation section 111 are not fixed, but the working medium inside the flat heat pipe is mainly in liquid state, and the region where the liquid working medium absorbs the heat of the heat dissipation device and evaporates, converts into gaseous working medium and transfers to the condensation area is called as the evaporation section. Correspondingly, the area and position of the condensing section 112 are not fixed, but the working medium inside the flat heat pipe is mainly gaseous working medium, and the gaseous working medium is condensed in the area, radiates heat, liquefies the gaseous working medium into liquid working medium, and transfers to the evaporating section 111, which is called as the condensing section.
The inside of the water-cooling plate 120 is filled with a cooling liquid, and the cooling liquid flows through a flow passage inside the water-cooling plate 120 to continuously absorb heat. The water-cooled plate 120 includes a device heat-dissipating section 121 and a heat pipe heat-dissipating section 122. The device heat dissipation section 121 is in contact with the heat-dissipated device 130 for absorbing heat of the heat-dissipated device 130. The heat pipe heat sink section 122 is in contact with the condenser section 112 of the flat-plate heat pipe 110 to absorb heat from the condenser section 112 of the flat-plate heat pipe 110.
It can be understood that the specific heat capacity of the coolant inside the water-cooling plate 120 is greater than the specific heat capacity of the working medium filled inside the flat heat pipe 110, so that even though the water-cooling plate 120 and the flat heat pipe 110 absorb the heat of the device 130 to be cooled at the same time, the temperature of the gaseous working medium inside the condensation section 112 of the flat heat pipe 110 is much higher than the temperature of the coolant inside the water-cooling plate 120, and therefore, even though the coolant after absorbing the heat of the device 130 to be cooled still has a temperature lower than the temperature of the working medium inside the flat heat pipe 110, the heat can be dissipated to the condensation section 112 of the flat heat pipe 110.
It can be understood that, since the water-cooling plate 120 needs to be in contact with the flat heat pipe 110 and the heat-dissipated device 130, there may be a thickness difference between the device heat dissipation section 121 of the water-cooling plate 120 and the heat pipe heat dissipation section 122, that is, the thickness of the device heat dissipation section 121 is thinner than that of the heat pipe heat dissipation section 122, so that the device heat dissipation section 121 of the water-cooling plate 120 is disposed opposite to the evaporation section 111 of the flat heat pipe 110 and a certain gap exists for disposing the heat-dissipated device 130.
Because the working medium in the flat heat pipe 110 has the starting temperature, when the device 130 to be cooled works in a low-temperature environment or is in a low-power operation state, the flat heat pipe 110 is not started, and the device to be cooled is cooled only by the water cooling plate 120; when the power of the device to be cooled is increased, the surface temperature is increased, or the environmental temperature is increased to reach the working temperature range of the working medium, the flat heat pipe starts to work, and the cooling efficiency of the device to be cooled is increased.
It can be understood that the double-sided heat dissipation device 100 formed by combining the flat heat pipe 110 and the water cooling plate 120 can enhance the heat dissipation capability and expand the working range of the heat dissipation device. Meanwhile, the good balanced heat dissipation performance of the flat heat pipe can also ensure that no high temperature point exists on the surface of the heat-dissipated device, and further ensure the safety and reliability of the heat-dissipated device.
To describe the internal configuration of the flat heat pipe 110 and the water-cooled plate 120 in further detail, the double-sided heat dissipation apparatus 100 is cut along line AB in fig. 1, and the cross-section of the flat heat pipe 110, the water-cooled plate 120 and the heat-dissipated device 130 is shown in fig. 2.
The interior of flat-plate heat pipe 110 includes a plurality of parallel vapor channels 210 to facilitate the transfer of gaseous working fluid from evaporator section 111 to condenser section 112. The vapor channels 210 are uniformly and radially distributed inside the flat heat pipe 110, and are as close as possible to the outer surface of the flat heat pipe 110 to reduce the thermal resistance between the flat heat pipe 110 and the heat-dissipated device 130 and the water cooling plate 120.
It is understood that the number of vapor channels in the flat heat pipe 110 may be set differently according to the size of the heat-dissipating device.
It is understood that, in order to increase the heat conduction performance of the flat heat pipe 110, the intervals between the vapor channels 210 are reduced as much as possible to increase the volume of the vapor channels 210. In a preferred embodiment, the steam channels 210 are spaced 4 mm apart.
Preferably, the vapor channels 210 include a wire mesh wick 211 around the periphery thereof, and the wire mesh wick 211 is made of a porous material and has a capillary force for facilitating the flow of the liquid. When the evaporation section 111 of the flat heat pipe 110 is heated, the liquid working medium in the wire mesh liquid absorption core 211 is rapidly evaporated, the gaseous working medium flows to the other end, namely the condensation section 112, under a slight pressure difference, and is cooled at the condensation section to release heat, and is condensed into liquid again, and the liquid working medium flows back to the evaporation section 111 along the wire mesh liquid absorption core 211 under the action of capillary force.
By the cooperation of the vapor channels 210 and the working mechanism of the wire mesh wick 211, heat is continuously transferred from the evaporation section 111 to the condensation section 112, and thus is circulated. With this rapid cycling, heat can be conducted away from the heat source.
Preferably, the vapor channel 210 includes a plurality of grooves around the periphery thereof, and the wire-mesh wick 211 covers the grooves, and the grooves increase the heat exchange area of the flat heat pipe 110, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency.
It is understood that the grooves may be of any regular geometric shape, such as square, rectangular or diamond, or of any irregular shape, etc.
In a more preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the cross section of the grooves 311 of the steam channel 210 is inverted trapezoid, and the longer bottom edge of the grooves 311 is close to the outer surface of the flat heat pipe 110, so as to further increase the heat exchange area between the steam channel 210 and the heat-dissipated device 130 or the water-cooled plate 120.
In a preferred simple embodiment, the water-cooled plate 120 has a one-way C-shaped flow channel, as shown in FIG. 1, the water-cooled plate 120 has a liquid inlet 123 and a liquid outlet 124. As shown in fig. 2, the liquid inlet 123 forms a liquid inlet flow passage 222 inside the water-cooled plate, and the liquid outlet 124 forms a liquid outlet flow passage 223 inside the water-cooled plate. Preferably, the liquid inlet channel 222 is divided into a plurality of fins 224, the liquid outlet channel 223 is divided into a plurality of fins 225, and the fins 224, 225 increase the heat dissipation area of the liquid in the liquid inlet channel 222 and the liquid outlet channel 223 and the heat dissipation device 130 or the flat heat pipe 110.
It should be understood that although the water cooling plate in the present application uses a unidirectional C-shaped flow channel with fins, in other embodiments, the water cooling plate may also use S-shaped flow channels with fins or other shapes, and only the number of fins inside the flow channel needs to be changed.
It can be understood that, although 7 fins are respectively illustrated in the liquid inlet channel 222 and the liquid outlet channel 223 of the water cooling plate 120 shown in fig. 2, the number of fins in the channel of the water cooling plate 120 may vary according to the shape and width of the channel.
It can be understood by those skilled in the art that due to the defects of the existing manufacturing process, even if the flat heat pipe 110 and the water cooling plate 120 are made of good heat conductive materials such as aluminum, steel or aluminum alloy, the phenomena that the heat conduction is not facilitated due to the unevenness or gaps and the like existing in the respective planes when in contact with each other are unavoidable, and thus, the heat dissipated by the device, the flat heat pipe or the water cooling plate mutually has unavoidable contact thermal resistance. In order to reduce the contact thermal resistance, the heat-dissipated device 130 and the flat heat pipe 110 and/or the heat-dissipated device 130 and the water-cooled plate 120 and/or the flat heat pipe 110 and the water-cooled plate 120 may be in contact through a thermal pad. The heat conducting pad can be an additive which takes an organic silicon material as a matrix and has a good auxiliary heat conducting function, so that good heat conductivity is achieved.
Preferably, the heat-dissipated device 130 and the flat heat pipe 110 and/or the heat-dissipated device 130 and the water-cooled plate 120 and/or the flat heat pipe 110 and the water-cooled plate 120 may be contacted by a thin thermal pad, such as a 0.5 mm thermal pad, which preferably has good compression resilience, so that the heat-dissipated device 130 and the flat heat pipe 110 and/or the heat-dissipated device 130 and the water-cooled plate 120 and/or the flat heat pipe 110 and the water-cooled plate 120 can be tightly attached.
It is understood that the heat-dissipated device 130 may be a double-sided water-cooled module existing in an inverter.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an inverter, comprising a power device and a double-sided heat dissipation device for dissipating heat of the power device in any of the above embodiments.
