A cactus spine-inspired directional heat dissipation structure

Abstract

This invention discloses a cactus-inspired biomimetic directional airflow heat dissipation structure, belonging to the field of thermal management biomimetic technology. This structure mimics the conical arrangement and tilted airflow characteristics of cactus epidermal spines. It consists of a heat dissipation substrate, conical biomimetic spines, and a flow-guiding angle. The biomimetic spines are arranged in an array on the surface of the heat dissipation substrate, with all spines tilted at a set angle in the same direction. The conical spines disturb the airflow, and the tilted angle achieves directional airflow guidance, accelerating air convection heat transfer. This solves the problems of low heat dissipation efficiency and turbulent airflow in enclosed spaces and outdoor equipment, and is suitable for scenarios such as heat sinks for electronic devices, photovoltaic panel backplane heat dissipation, and industrial equipment heat dissipation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal management and heat dissipation technology, specifically to a cactus spine-inspired directional heat dissipation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the heat dissipation structures of electronic devices, photovoltaic modules, and industrial equipment mostly adopt heat sink fins and air cooling modes. Traditional fin structures are prone to airflow stagnation and turbulence, limiting the efficiency of air convection heat transfer and preventing the equipment from dissipating heat quickly. Cacti grow in high-temperature desert environments, and their cone-shaped spines can guide airflow and disturb the air to achieve rapid cooling of the skin. There is a significant gap in the application of this biomimetic characteristic in the field of heat dissipation. Existing heat dissipation structures do not fully utilize the biomimetic directional airflow principle, and the bottleneck in improving heat dissipation efficiency is obvious. Therefore, there is a need for a biomimetic directional airflow heat dissipation structure based on cactus spines. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing heat dissipation structures, such as turbulent airflow and low heat exchange efficiency, this invention provides a cactus-spine biomimetic directional airflow heat dissipation structure. Through a conical biomimetic spine array and tilted angle design, it achieves directional airflow disturbance and guidance, significantly improving convective heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: Conical biomimetic spikes are arranged in an array on the surface of the heat dissipation substrate. The spikes are uniformly tilted at an angle to form a flow direction. The conical structure disrupts the laminar flow state of the airflow, increases the heat exchange area between the air and the heat dissipation structure, and the hollow spikes and microchannels further enhance heat conduction, ultimately achieving efficient directional heat dissipation.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The directional airflow design eliminates airflow turbulence, improving heat dissipation efficiency by 25%~30%; 2. The conical spike increases the heat exchange area, and the compact structure does not occupy extra space; 3. The material has excellent thermal conductivity, the processing technology is simple, and it is suitable for various high-temperature equipment heat dissipation scenarios. Detailed Implementation

[0006] Example 2: A cactus spine biomimetic directional heat dissipation structure, with a heat dissipation substrate thickness of 2mm, a conical biomimetic spine height h=10mm, a taper α=10°, an inclination angle β=20°, a spacing between adjacent spines d=0.7h=7mm, and a 0.25mm deep spiral microchannel on the inner wall of the spine; the material is a copper-aluminum composite thermally conductive material, and the surface is coated with a nano-graphene oxide coating; According to heat dissipation tests, the structure achieves a heat transfer coefficient of 125 W / (m²·K) under natural air cooling conditions, which is 28% higher than that of traditional heat dissipation fins. The formula for convective heat transfer efficiency is: η = (h1 - h2) / h1 × 100% In the formula: η is the heat dissipation efficiency; h1 is the heat transfer coefficient of the substrate surface without the biomimetic structure; h2 is the heat transfer coefficient of the substrate surface after the biomimetic structure is added.
