Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water-cooled radiators, and in particular to a liquid-cooled radiator device for heat dissipation of a computer processor and a liquid injection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liquid cooling radiators are commonly used to dissipate heat in computer processors by circulating coolant. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a computer water cooling radiator device according to an embodiment of the prior art; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the water injection port of a computer water cooling radiator device according to an embodiment of the prior art. The entire device includes a water cooling pump head 101, a pipe 102, a heat sink 103, and an L-shaped elbow 104, etc. The water injection port 105 is installed on the mounting hole 108 of the heat sink 103. After the assembly is completed, it needs to be filled with water cooling liquid. The filling process is to first seal the water channel device, evacuate the vacuum through the only opening - the liquid injection port, and then switch the pipeline to introduce the liquid, and inject the water cooling liquid into the device through atmospheric pressure until it is full.

[0003] See also Figure 2 Generally, the water-cooling liquid filling port is set on the water-cooling row or water-cooling pump head. Figure 2 The water injection port of the embodiment is arranged on the heat sink 103. When no water is injected, the water injection port 105 is blocked by the sealing screw 107 and the sealing rubber 106.

[0004] The actual manufacturing process of the water injection port of the prior art is as follows:

[0005] 1. Make a metal liquid injection port on the water-cooled radiator through drilling, installation, high-temperature furnace welding and other processes, and seal it by tightening the sealing ring with screws.

[0006] 2. Reserve a water inlet on the internal structure of the water-cooled pump head, which is usually a concave countersunk hole on the plastic body, and seal it by tightening the sealing ring with screws.

[0007] The position of the liquid injection port in the prior art has the following disadvantages:

[0008] (I) Installing the water injection port on the water cooling radiator will bring three problems: 1. Increase the manufacturing cost. Installing the water injection port requires drilling, assembly, welding and other processes on the water cooling radiator, which increases the cost and improves the defect rate; 2. There is a risk of leakage. Welding defects and other problems may cause leakage; 3. It affects the outer dimensions of the water cooling radiator and causes compatibility issues. It will not be installed in the right position.

[0009] (II) The filling port set on the water-cooled pump head will also bring three problems: 1. The internal space of the water-cooled pump head is limited, and setting it on the water-cooled pump head will increase the structural difficulty; 2. The filling operation is inconvenient and it is difficult to develop the filling fixture; 3. The positions of the filling ports of different water-cooled pump heads cannot be unified, which increases the number of fixtures and the difficulty of switching products on the production line.
