Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of laser water-cooled plate technology, specifically relating to a water-cooled plate and a laser thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing laser products use water-cooled plates for heat dissipation. However, due to different operating environments and conditions, these water-cooled plates often become clogged after prolonged use, for example, when the channels become filled with mud, sand, or leaves. Once this happens, the heat-generating components on the laser will be damaged in a very short time, requiring the entire unit to be replaced during repair. This not only results in a significant waste of resources but also increases costs.

[0003] Existing laser water-cooling plates typically prevent blockage by widening the flow channels. However, this method is only barely applicable when the heat generation is not large. As the power of lasers gradually increases, the heat generation becomes larger and larger. If the flow channels are still widened to prevent blockage, it will result in insufficient cooling area and significantly reduced heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the main objective of this application is to provide a water-cooled plate and its laser to solve the clogging problem of water-cooled plates in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] A water-cooled plate includes a plate body, wherein at least one deposition chamber is provided inside the plate body, and the deposition chamber is connected to a cooling channel in the plate body for containing target particles carried by the flow of cooling water.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the deposition chamber has a deposition guiding surface, which is set at a preset angle to the horizontal plane.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the plate is also provided with a maintenance through hole that communicates with the deposition chamber, and the maintenance through hole can be detachably connected to a sealing component outside the plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the deposition chamber is located at the end of the plate, and the deposition guiding surface is formed by milling the end of the plate at the preset angle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the preset included angle is 5° to 30°.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the water-cooled plate further includes a quick-connect connector, which includes a first quick-connect section and a second quick-connect section in sequence along the axial direction. The quick-connect connector has a guide channel through which cooling water is directed in a spiral manner. The first quick-connect section is used to connect to the water inlet of the plate, and the second quick-connect section is used to connect to the cooling water source through a water pipe.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the flow channel is configured as a spiral groove continuously arranged along the axial direction on the inner wall of the quick-connect connector.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the outer edge of the second quick-installation section is provided with a guide slope along the circumferential direction so that the water pipe can be sleeved on the outside of the second quick-installation section.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the guide slope is provided with a plurality of stepped protrusions arranged at intervals.

[0015] As another aspect of this application, a laser is also proposed, which includes the water-cooled plate of any of the above embodiments.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By setting a deposition chamber inside the plate, target particles such as silt, debris, and scale in the cooling water can be effectively trapped, preventing them from accumulating and clogging in the narrow cooling channels. Simultaneously, the deposition guiding surface of the deposition chamber provides a low-velocity environment for these particulate materials, allowing them to settle quickly and facilitating waste removal. Furthermore, by setting a flow guide channel inside the quick-connect connector, water can enter the water-cooling plate in a spiral shape. The spiral water flow has centrifugal force, allowing silt and other particulate materials to flow along the inner wall of the connector without clogging. The water-cooling plate of this application ensures normal circulation of internal cooling water, providing a stable and continuous cooling effect for the laser. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0028] Definition: The vertical relationship between the various components of the water-cooled plate in this application is defined as the state in which the water-cooled plate is placed horizontally on a horizontal plane. The first direction X is the extension direction of a single cooling channel in the water-cooled plate, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0029] In one embodiment, the cooling channel can be configured as one or multiple channels. This application will use a configuration of multiple branch channels as an example for illustration.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the water-cooled plate in the embodiment of this application.

[0031] The water-cooled plate disclosed in this application includes a plate body 200, and at least one deposition chamber 204 is provided inside the plate body 200. The deposition chamber 204 is connected to the cooling channel in the plate body 200 and is used to contain target particles carried by the flow of cooling water.

[0032] Compared to existing technologies, the water-cooled plate of this application can effectively trap target particles such as mud, sand, debris, and scale in the cooling water through the deposition chamber during use, preventing them from accumulating and clogging in the narrow cooling channels. This ensures the normal flow of cooling water inside the water-cooled plate and provides a stable and continuous cooling effect for the laser.

[0033] Now refer to Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution of this application will be explained in further detail below.

[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the plate 200 in this embodiment. The plate 200 has multiple cooling channels 203 extending along a first direction X, and these channels are arranged along a second direction Y, forming the main cooling area of ​​the water-cooled plate, which can be used to mount a laser. Cooling water enters the collector chamber (not shown in the figure) from the inlet 201 and is then distributed to each cooling channel 203, ensuring uniform temperature distribution in the cooling area and avoiding the generation of local hot spots.

[0035] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the cooling channel 203 along its radial direction can be designed as circular, U-shaped, trapezoidal, parabolic, rectangular, or toothed, depending on the heat dissipation requirements.

[0036] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the plate along the second direction Y in an embodiment of this application. The deposition chamber 204 is located at one end of the cooling channel 203, distinct from the water inlet, and has a deposition guiding surface 204b set at a predetermined angle to the horizontal plane. The deposition guiding surface 204b is the bottom surface of the deposition chamber 204. The connection point between the deposition chamber 204 and the collection chamber is higher than the highest point of the deposition guiding surface 204b.

[0037] Optionally, the deposition chamber 204 is configured to be at least one, and the number of such chambers may be multiple, depending on the predicted amount of particles to be deposited.

[0038] Preferably, the preset angle between the deposition guiding surface 204b and the horizontal plane is 5° to 30°.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 The plate 200 is also provided with a maintenance through hole (not shown in the figure) that communicates with the deposition chamber 204. This maintenance through hole can be detachably connected to the sealing component 205 on the outside of the water-cooling plate. Users can directly clean the particles in the deposition chamber 204 by removing the sealing component 205, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0040] It is understandable that the maintenance through holes are opened at the bottom or side wall of the sedimentation chamber 204 and are located near the lowest point of the sedimentation guiding surface 204b. This ensures that the particles naturally accumulate in the through hole opening area due to gravity, making it easy to clean them.

[0041] Optionally, the diameter of the maintenance through hole can be freely designed according to the estimated amount of sediment, so as to ensure cleaning efficiency while avoiding the impact on the structural strength of the water-cooled plate due to excessive hole diameter.

[0042] In one embodiment, the connection between the sealing element 205 and the maintenance through hole can be achieved by screwing in, snap-locking, or magnetic adsorption, which enhances the sealing performance of the water-cooled plate and the convenience of maintenance while ensuring flexible opening and closing.

[0043] It is understandable that after the cooling water flows through the cooling channel 203, the particles it carries enter the deposition chamber 204 under the action of gravity. Since the lower end of the deposition guide surface 204b points towards the maintenance through hole, the particles can slide along the deposition guide surface 204b to the vicinity of the lower end under the action of gravity, avoiding disorderly accumulation in the deposition chamber 204. By guiding the deposited particles to the lowest point of the deposition chamber 204, it is also possible to prevent the deposited particles from re-entering the collection chamber and participating in the flow of cooling water in the water-cooled plate under the disturbance of the water flow.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The inlet 201 and outlet 202 are located at the head of the water-cooled plate, and the deposition chamber 204 is located at the end of the water-cooled plate. The deposition guide surface 204b is formed by milling the end of the end at a preset angle.

[0045] Optionally, the deposition chamber 204 also has a flushing surface 204a, which is the side of the deposition chamber, perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and angled with the second direction Y. This further makes the deposition chamber 204 an irregularly elongated cavity. Viewed from the second direction Y, the narrower end of the cavity is away from the maintenance through-hole, while the wider end is close to the maintenance through-hole, thereby further enabling particulate matter to be deposited at the maintenance through-hole for easy cleaning.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1The water-cooled plate disclosed in this application also includes a quick-connect connector 100. The quick-connect connector, along the axial direction, sequentially includes a first quick-release section 110 and a second quick-release section 120. The first quick-release section 110 has a through-flow channel 130 for allowing cooling water to flow in a spiral pattern. The second quick-release section 120 is used to connect to the water inlet 201 of the plate body 200. In use, the water-cooled plate of this application, the external water pipe (not shown in the figure), the flow channel in the quick-connect connector, and the cooling channel in the plate body form a complete channel for cooling water flow, providing cooling for the laser mounted on it.

[0047] It is understood that by installing a quick-connect fitting with a built-in spiral flow channel on the water-cooled plate, this application allows water to enter the water-cooled plate in a spiral shape. The spiral-shaped water flow has centrifugal force, which allows particulate matter such as mud and sand in the water to flow along the inner wall of the fitting without clogging it.

[0048] Please refer to again Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the water-cooled plate quick-connect connector 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is an axial sectional view of the quick-connect fitting 100.

[0049] The quick-connector 100 has a flow channel 130 that runs through the first quick-connect section 110 and the second quick-connect section 120. The design of the flow channel 130 allows cooling water to be introduced into the quick-connector 100 in a spiral shape and enter the inlet 201 of the plate 200. This spiral cooling water causes particles such as sand to flow along the inner wall of the connector under centrifugal force, thus preventing blockage at the connector. For small particles of silt, the risk of them adhering to the flow channel is effectively reduced; for larger particles of silt, the tangential force generated by the flow channel also reduces the possibility of them getting stuck in the quick-connector 100.

[0050] In one embodiment, the flow channel 130 is configured as a spiral groove continuously arranged along the axial direction of the inner wall of the quick-connect connector 100. Through this continuous spiral groove, the flow direction of the cooling water can be changed to a large extent, providing sufficient force to prevent particles such as mud and sand from clogging the connector.

[0051] Optionally, the pitch and diameter of the spiral flow channel are optimized according to the expected cooling water flow rate and silt particle size to ensure that sufficient flow rate and power can be provided to the cooling water to move particulate matter such as silt.

[0052] In one embodiment, the outer edge of the second quick-installation section 120 is further provided with a guide slope 121 along the circumferential direction, so that an external water pipe can be sleeved on the outside of the second quick-installation section 120.

[0053] Optionally, the portion containing the guide ramp 121 is frustum-shaped.

[0054] To improve the stability of the connection between the second quick-assembly section 120 and the external water pipe and to enhance the overall sealing, the guide slope 121 is also provided with a number of spaced stepped protrusions to enhance the friction between the outer wall of the second quick-assembly section 120 and the external water pipe and prevent relative sliding between the second quick-assembly section 120 and the external water pipe.

[0055] Optionally, a sealing ring may be provided at the junction of the second quick-connect section 120 and the external water pipe. The sealing ring may be made of silicone.

[0056] In addition, by using the water-cooled plate of this application, the sealing part 205 can be opened in winter or when the ambient temperature is low to release the cooling water in the water-cooled plate appropriately, thereby reducing the cooling water in the plate 200 and preventing it from freezing and cracking.

[0057] According to another aspect of this application, a laser is also proposed, which includes the water-cooled plate described in any of the above embodiments.

[0058] Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this application has the following advantages: By setting a deposition chamber inside the plate, target particles such as silt, debris, and scale in the cooling water can be effectively trapped, preventing them from accumulating and clogging in the narrow cooling channels. Simultaneously, the deposition guiding surface of the deposition chamber provides a low-velocity environment for these particulate materials, allowing them to settle quickly and facilitating waste removal. By setting a flow guide channel inside the quick-connect connector, water can enter the water-cooling plate in a spiral shape. The spiral water flow has centrifugal force, allowing silt and other particulate materials to flow along the inner wall of the connector without clogging. The water-cooling plate of this application can ensure the normal flow of internal cooling water, providing a stable and continuous cooling effect for the laser.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them; under the concept of this application, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of this application as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
