The semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 can be cooled and heated by using a direct current in its operation, and the cooling or heating on the same refrigeration sheet is determined by changing the polarity of the direct current. The semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 is a P-N junction formed by using a special semiconductor material, forms a thermocouple pair, and generates a peltier effect, and is referred to as a three-large refrigeration mode of semiconductor refrigeration, compression refrigeration, and absorption refrigeration. The working principle of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 is as follows: when an N-type semiconductor material and a P-type semiconductor material are connected into a couple pair, after direct current is connected in the circuit, energy transfer can be generated, the current absorbs heat from the joint of the N-type element to the P-type element to become a cold end, and the joint of the P-type element to the N-type element releases heat to become a hot end. The magnitude of the heat absorption and release is determined by the magnitude of the current and the number of pairs of elements of the semiconductor material N, P.

Therefore, the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 has a cold end and a hot end, the cold end is connected to the radiator 220 to transfer cold, the radiator 220 is connected to a sidewall of the compartment 101 to input cold into the compartment 101, and the hot end is connected to the radiator 230 to help heat dissipation, and the radiator 230 is generally arranged outside the case 100 to facilitate heat dissipation while preventing heat from entering the compartment 101 to avoid affecting the performance of the refrigerator, considering the shape and structure of the refrigerator.
It will be appreciated that the heat dissipation capacity of the heat sink 230 is related to the volume, and the heat sink 230 is generally designed to be small in size in consideration of the external shape and use of the refrigerator, which limits the refrigerating capacity of the semiconductor refrigeration module 200. The outer wall of the case 100 has a larger area, but is not utilized, so the heat-conducting pad 300 is disposed between the case 100 and the heat sink 230, a part of heat of the heat sink 230 is transferred to the case 100 by the heat-conducting pad 300, and the outer wall of the case 100 is utilized to help dissipate heat, thereby improving the refrigerating capacity of the semiconductor refrigerating module 200.

In addition, the heat conducting gasket 300 is in close contact with the box body 100 and the radiator 230, and has a large heat conducting area, thereby being beneficial to heat transfer.
In operation of the refrigerator, the semiconductor refrigeration module 200 is started, the cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 forms a low temperature region, the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 forms a high temperature region, the cold end transmits cold energy to the compartment 101 through the radiator 220 to help to cool, and the hot end radiates heat through the radiator 230 to maintain normal operation of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210. Moreover, by providing the heat conductive pad 300 between the case 100 and the heat sink 230, part of heat of the heat sink 230 is transferred to the outer wall of the case 100 by using the heat conductive pad 300, thereby helping to radiate heat, helping to improve the heat radiation effect, helping to improve the refrigerating capacity of the semiconductor refrigerating module 200, and the semiconductor refrigerating module 200 can be provided.
In some embodiments of the present utility model, the heat-conducting pad 300 is made of a flexible material, and the heat-conducting pad 300 has a heat conductivity coefficient of 1 to 8W/(m×k), which is a material 1m thick under a stable heat transfer condition, and a temperature difference between two side surfaces is 1 degree (K, °c), and the heat transferred through 1 square meter area is expressed in watts/(m×c) within one hour. It should be appreciated that the flexible thermal pad 300 facilitates the bonding of the case 100 and the heat sink 230, and that the case 100 and the heat sink 230 sandwich the thermal pad 300 when the semiconductor refrigeration module 200 is assembled, and that the thermal pad 300 may be partially deformed by the characteristics of the flexible material, so that the thermal pad 300 is bonded to the case 100 and the heat sink 230 without leaving a gap, thereby facilitating the heat transfer.

In addition, during the assembly process, the tightening bolt 110 applies a force to the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210, and the flexible heat-conducting gasket 300 can absorb a certain force to prevent the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 from being damaged due to excessive stress, which is beneficial to protecting the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210.
It will be appreciated that the coverage area of the heat conducting pad 300 is larger than the area where the bolt 110 is located, so as shown in fig. 5, the heat conducting pad 300 is provided with a through hole 301 for the bolt 110 to pass through, and after the heat conducting pad 300 is assembled to surround the bolt 110, the heat conducting pad 300 can be positioned by using the bolt 110 to prevent the heat conducting pad 300 from deviating.
Of course, the coverage area of the heat-conducting pad 300 may be smaller than the area where the bolts 110 are located, the heat-conducting pad 300 is provided with the bolts 110 distributed on the outer side of the heat-conducting pad 300, and the heat sink 230 may be provided with positioning grooves to define the heat-conducting pad 300, so as to prevent the heat-conducting pad 300 from deviating.
It can be understood that the refrigerator case 100 has the foaming layer 102, the foaming layer 102 injects the foaming material into the interlayer of the refrigerator case 100, and the foaming material solidifies and fixes after reacting, due to the limitation of the bolts 110, the deformation of the refrigerator case 100 around the bolts 110 is smaller, and the deformation of the refrigerator case 100 is relatively larger at the edge position of the heat conducting gasket 300, so that the heat conducting gasket 300 is set to be in a shape with thin center and thick periphery, that is, the thickness of the heat conducting gasket 300 gradually decreases along the direction that the edge of the heat conducting gasket 300 extends to the middle part, in the foaming process, the thickness of the periphery of the heat conducting gasket 300 is larger, the deformation of the periphery of the heat conducting gasket 300 can apply pressure to the refrigerator case 100, thereby balancing the expansion force of the foaming material, making the heat conducting gasket 300 closely fit with the refrigerator case 10, not generating gaps, being beneficial to transferring heat, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the radiator 220 is disposed in the foaming layer 102, the radiator 230 is provided with the heat conductive block 231, the heat conductive block 231 is also disposed in the foaming layer 102, and the heat conductive block 231 abuts against the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210, the radiator 230 and the heat conductive block 231 are generally disposed as a rectangular body, so four bolts 110 are used, the heat conductive pad 300 is also provided with four through holes 301, and the four through holes 301 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the heat conductive block 231, one through hole 301 is disposed at each of four corners of the heat conductive block 231, or one through hole 301 is disposed at each of middle regions of four sides of the heat conductive block 231, and the four bolts 110 are used for fixing, so that the structure is stable, and the stress is balanced. Of course, three bolts 110 or other numbers of bolts 110 may be used, and the design may be performed according to the shape of the heat conducting block 231.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, it can be appreciated that the radiator 230 is generally made of a metal material with a high thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, and considering that a side of the radiator 230 facing away from the case 100 is an open space, a fin or other structure is generally provided to help dissipate heat, while a side of the radiator 230 facing the case 100 is set to be a first side, for the first side to be attached to the thermal pad 300, the first side may be set to be a plane, and the shape of the thermal pad 300 is designed to be the same as that of the first side, so that the thermal pad 300 is attached to the first side, thereby eliminating gaps and facilitating heat transfer. In addition, the area of the heat-conducting pad 300 may be equal to the area of the first side, or the area of the heat-conducting pad 300 may be larger than the area of the first side, so that the heat-conducting pad 300 has a larger contact area with the box 100, and the heat-conducting effect is better.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments of the present utility model, a heat dissipating fan 232 is further connected to the heat sink 230, the heat dissipating fan 232 is mounted on a side of the heat sink 230, and the heat dissipating fan 232 is located on a side of the heat sink 230 facing away from the case 100. Considering the blockage of the airflow by the case 100, it is common that the radiator 230 is located at the air suction side of the radiator fan 232, and the airflow passes through the radiator 230 and then enters the radiator fan 232. The radiator 230 may be made of aluminum alloy, and is provided with a structure such as a radiating fin, so that the contact area between the radiator 230 and air is increased, and heat dissipation is accelerated.
It can be appreciated that, due to the addition of the heat-conducting gasket 300, part of heat of the radiator 230 is transferred to the box body 100 to help heat dissipation, so that the higher the heat transfer efficiency of the box body 100 is, the better the heat transfer efficiency is, the outer wall of the box body 100 can be set to be a metal shell, the metal shell has better heat conductivity coefficient and heat dissipation speed, the heat-conducting gasket 300 is attached to the metal shell, and the heat transferred to the metal shell can be quickly diffused to the whole metal shell to accelerate heat dissipation.

The working principle of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 is: when an N-type semiconductor material and a P-type semiconductor material are connected into a couple pair, after direct current is connected in the circuit, energy transfer can be generated, the current absorbs heat from the joint of the N-type element to the P-type element to become a cold end, and the joint of the P-type element to the N-type element releases heat to become a hot end. The magnitude of the heat absorption and release is determined by the magnitude of the current and the number of pairs of elements of the semiconductor material N, P. Therefore, the semiconductor refrigeration chip 210 has a cold end and a hot end, the cold end is connected to the radiator 220 to transfer cold, the radiator 220 is connected to the metal liner to input cold into the compartment 101, and the hot end is connected to the radiator 230 to help heat dissipation, and the radiator 230 is generally arranged outside the case 100 to facilitate heat dissipation while preventing heat from entering the compartment 101 to avoid affecting the performance of the refrigerator, considering the shape and structure of the refrigerator.
It will be appreciated that the heat transfer capability of the heat spreader 220 and the heat sink 230 is volume dependent, and that the heat spreader 220 and the heat sink 230 are generally designed to be small in size in consideration of the external shape of the refrigerator and the use scenario, which limits the refrigerating capability of the semiconductor refrigeration module 200. The outer wall of the case 100 has a larger area, but is not utilized, so the heat-conducting pad 300 is disposed between the case 100 and the heat sink 230, a part of heat of the heat sink 230 is transferred to the case 100 by using the heat-conducting pad 300, and the heat dissipation is assisted by the outer wall of the case 100, so as to improve the refrigerating capacity of the semiconductor refrigerating module 200. Similarly, the metal liner has a larger area, but is not utilized, so the cold guide gasket 400 is arranged between the metal liner and the cold sink 220, the heat of the cold sink 220 is transferred to the metal liner by the cold guide gasket 400 in an accelerating way, and the cold is transferred by the aid of the metal liner, so that the refrigerating efficiency of the semiconductor refrigerating module 200 is improved.
It should be understood that the heat conductive gasket 300 and the cold conductive gasket 400 function to transfer heat or cold, and thus the heat conductive gasket 300 and the cold conductive gasket 400 are made of high performance heat conductive materials having excellent heat conductivity. Also, the heat conductive gasket 300 and the cold conductive gasket 400 eliminate gaps on the transfer path.
In some embodiments of the present utility model, the heat-conducting gasket 300 and the cold-conducting gasket 400 are made of flexible materials, and the heat-conducting coefficients of the heat-conducting gasket 300 and the cold-conducting gasket 400 can be 1 to 8W/(m×k), so that the heat-conducting gasket has good performance. It should be appreciated that the flexible thermal pad 300 facilitates the bonding of the case 100 and the heat sink 230, and that the case 100 and the heat sink 230 sandwich the thermal pad 300 when the semiconductor refrigeration module 200 is assembled, and that the thermal pad 300 may be partially deformed by the characteristics of the flexible material, so that the thermal pad 300 is bonded to the case 100 and the heat sink 230 without leaving a gap, thereby facilitating the heat transfer. Similarly, the flexible cold guide gasket 400 is beneficial to attaching the metal liner and the cold sink 220, when the semiconductor refrigeration module 200 is assembled, the metal liner and the cold sink 220 clamp the cold guide gasket 400, and the cold guide gasket 400 can generate partial deformation by utilizing the characteristic of the flexible material, so that the cold guide gasket 400 is attached to the metal liner and the cold sink 220 without leaving a gap, and the cold transfer is facilitated.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the case 100, the radiator 220, and the radiator 230 are fixedly connected through the bolts 110, the case 100 and the radiator 220 are provided with circular holes, the radiator 230 is provided with screw holes, and when assembled, the bolts 110 pass through the circular holes provided in the case 100 and the radiator 220 and are screwed into the screw holes of the radiator 230, and the case 100 and the radiator 230 are continuously closed in the process of tightening the bolts 110, thereby clamping the heat conductive gasket 300 and the cold conductive gasket 400, and the heat conductive gasket 300 and the cold conductive gasket 400 are slightly deformed, thereby eliminating the gap.
It will be appreciated that the coverage area of the heat-conducting gasket 300 and the cold-conducting gasket 400 is larger than the area where the bolt 110 is located, so, as shown in fig. 5, the heat-conducting gasket 300 is provided with a through hole 301 for the bolt 110 to pass through, and after the heat-conducting gasket 300 is assembled to surround the bolt 110, the heat-conducting gasket 300 can be positioned by using the bolt 110 to prevent the heat-conducting gasket 300 from deviating. The cold guide gasket 400 is also provided with a through hole for the bolt 110 to pass through, and the bolt 110 is used for helping to position the cold guide gasket 400, so that the cold guide gasket 400 is prevented from deviating.
It can be understood that the refrigerator case 100 has the foaming layer 102, the foaming layer 102 injects the foaming material into the interlayer of the refrigerator case 100, and the foaming material solidifies and fixes after reacting, due to the limitation of the bolts 110, the deformation of the refrigerator case 100 around the bolts 110 is smaller, and the deformation of the refrigerator case 100 is relatively larger at the edge of the heat-conducting gasket 300, so that the heat-conducting gasket 300 is set to a shape with thin center and thick periphery, that is, the thickness of the periphery of the heat-conducting gasket 300 is larger than that of the center, in the foaming process, the periphery of the heat-conducting gasket 300 is larger, the deformation of the periphery of the heat-conducting gasket 300 can apply pressure to the refrigerator case 100, so that the expansion force of the foaming material is balanced, the heat-conducting gasket 300 and the refrigerator case 100 are tightly attached, no gap is generated, heat transfer is facilitated, and heat dissipation efficiency is improved. Similarly, the cold guide gasket 400 may be formed to have a thin center and thick periphery, which helps to eliminate gaps.
The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
