[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an ultra-thin VC heat exchange plate with spiral curve etched channels. As can be seen from the figure, the structure of the VC heat exchange plate of the present invention only includes two components: the upper cover plate 1 of the VC heat exchange plate and the lower cover plate 2 of the VC heat exchange plate. It does not use 200-250 mesh capillary copper mesh, which effectively reduces the complexity of the process and the product cost.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, the top cover 1 is etched in a wave shape, which increases the heat dissipation area and enhances the heat dissipation effect while effectively reducing the weight.
[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the VC heat exchanger plate 2 is provided with a coolant filling port 3 and an exhaust port 4. The end face of the lower cover plate is a welding surface 6 (the surface that has not been etched). Three cooling units with spiral curve etched channels and an edge coolant reservoir 14 for receiving coolant are provided in the main body of the lower cover plate. The VC heat exchanger plate 1 and the VC heat exchanger plate 2 are fixed by welding.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to ensure rapid cooling of the entire cooling area and control of the temperature difference within the cooling area to within the range of 1–3°C, the present invention sets up three cooling units: cooling unit IA (core cooling area), located at the same position as the high-temperature area of the electronic component; cooling units IIB and IIIC, located adjacent to cooling unit IA on both sides. Each cooling unit includes an initial liquid storage tank, multiple spiral curve etching channels connected to the initial liquid storage tank, and multiple equilibrium temperature liquid storage tanks disposed on the spiral curve etching channels. The initial liquid storage tank, spiral curve etching channels, equilibrium temperature liquid storage tanks, and edge coolant storage tanks all employ a semi-etching method.
[0053] Infrared thermography, used to inspect electronic components such as circuit boards, can visually reveal the temperature, size, and shape of high, medium-high, and low temperature regions. Figure 2 The diagram shows the temperature range of the heat-generating electronic components. The high-temperature zone 15 is between 50 and 60°C, the medium-high temperature zone 16 is between 40 and 50°C, and the low-temperature zone 17 is between 35 and 40°C.
[0054] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the setting of the spiral curve etching channel satisfies the Archimedes spiral curve formula:
[0055] r x ((ω / v) x θ + 1),
[0056] Wherein, the position of the circular initial liquid reservoir is the same as the high temperature area of the electronic component;
[0057] r is the radius of the high temperature area of the electronic component, which is taken as the radius of the initial liquid reservoir;
[0058] The cooling liquid in the initial liquid reservoir expands under heat, ω is the linear motion speed of the cooling liquid flowing from the center of the initial liquid reservoir to each outlet, v is the circular flow speed of the cooling liquid along the initial liquid reservoir, ω / v≈1 is basically unchanged, and the Archimedes spiral curve etching channel is designed by the 45° tangent method.
[0059] Thus, the Archimedes spiral curve formula is derived as ρ=r x (θ+1) under the condition of ω≈v, r is the known radius of the high temperature area; the Archimedes spiral curve belongs to the equal speed ratio and equal distance ratio spiral curve, under the condition of different temperatures in the high temperature area, the flow speed of the cooling liquid will change, but no matter how the flow speed of the cooling liquid changes, the linear motion speed ω and the circular flow speed v change at the same ratio, ω / v≈1 is basically unchanged, and the curve shape and the pitch are unchanged.
[0060] Accordingly, the Archimedes spiral curve etching channel is designed by the 45° tangent method, and this example is explained by taking the circular initial liquid reservoir as an example. In actual design, the number of etching channels can be adjusted according to the temperature control, the temperature uniformity of the heating surface, the heat dissipation efficiency and other requirements. The more the number of etching channels, the more accurate the temperature control, the higher the temperature uniformity of the heating surface, and the heat dissipation efficiency will be proportionally greatly improved according to the increase in the number of etching channels, which is suitable for the high temperature area of the electronic component, especially for the heat dissipation and temperature control of the electronic component with small and medium-sized heating area and obvious high, medium-high and low temperature area.
[0061] As shown in Figure 4 , the cooling liquid is vaporized under heat and flows from the circular initial liquid reservoir I 7 to the circular initial liquid reservoir II 10 and the initial liquid reservoir III 11, wherein F is the flow direction of the cooling liquid. The width of the spiral curve etching channel 8 is unchanged, the circular balance temperature liquid reservoir 9 is at the point of the 45° tangent of the Archimedes spiral curve, and the diameter is 1.5-2 times the width of the etching channel at the corresponding position, which is a key structure form for further uniform and balanced heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation surface. There is no spiral curve in the initial liquid reservoir, which is shown by a dashed line to maintain the integrity of the spiral curve.
[0062] As shown in Figure 5As shown, when the cooling liquid is heated and vaporized, it flows from the circular initial liquid tank 17 to the edge cooling liquid tank 14, and the spiral curve etched channel 8 gradually widens. The circular balanced temperature liquid tank 9 is at the point of the 45° tangent of the Archimedes spiral curve, and the diameter is 1.5-2 times the width of the etched channel at the corresponding position, which is a key structure form for further uniform and balanced heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation surface.
[0063] As shown in Figure 6 , the cooling liquid is liquefied by cooling, and flows back from the edge cooling liquid tank 14 to the circular initial liquid tank 17, and the spiral curve etched channel 8 gradually widens. The circular balanced temperature liquid tank 9 is at the point of the 45° tangent of the Archimedes spiral curve, and the diameter is 1.5-2 times the width of the etched channel at the corresponding position, which is a key structure form for further uniform and balanced heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation surface.
[0064] As shown in Figure 7 , taking 3 cooling units and 6 spiral curve etched channels in each cooling unit as an example. Between the cooling unit IA (core unit, refer to the cooling liquid flow in Figure 3 ) and the cooling unit IIB and the cooling unit III C, there are 2 Archimedes spiral curve etched channels connected, that is, the number of channels N 连 connecting adjacent cooling units = 2 (i.e. etched channel communication area ID and etched channel communication area IE, 1#-2# etched channel and 3#-4# etched channel), and the width of the etched channel is unchanged. The cooling liquid of the initial liquid tank 17 flows to the initial liquid tank 10 and the initial liquid tank 11 respectively, in order to uniformly balance the temperature of the overall heating component.
[0065] In the cooling unit IA, N 出 = 1, that is, one cooling liquid phase change outflow channel 12 is directly connected with the edge cooling liquid tank 14 (5# etched channel), and the wider the involute etched channel is, the closer to the edge cooling liquid tank 14. In the cooling unit IA, N 回 = 1, that is, one cooling liquid phase change backflow channel 13 is connected with the edge cooling liquid tank 14 (6# etched channel), which is a communication channel for backflow to the initial liquid tank 17, and the wider the involute etched channel is, the closer to the initial liquid tank.
[0066] In the cooling unit IIB and the cooling unit III C, the outlets of the remaining 4 spiral curve heat dissipation etched channels are directly connected with the edge cooling liquid tank 14, that is, the number of cooling liquid phase change outflow channels N 出 = 4, and the wider the involute etched channel is, the closer to the edge cooling liquid tank 14, and the widest part is 2-3 times the narrowest part.
[0067] The cooling liquid in the initial liquid storage tank I 7, the initial liquid storage tank II 10 and the initial liquid storage tank III 11 is vaporized by heat, and gradually liquefied by the spiral curve etching channel, the balanced temperature liquid storage tank, and finally mixed in the cooling liquid edge storage tank 14 to form the liquid cooling liquid with uniform temperature, and then returned to the initial liquid storage tank I 7 through the cooling liquid phase change return channel 13. In this process, the cooling liquid at the cooling liquid phase change outflow channel 12 in the core cooling unit IA is still in a vaporized state due to the high temperature in this area, and flows out directly from the outlet to quickly reduce the temperature. The cooling liquid in other outflow channels flows out in a liquefied state or a vapor-liquid mixed state.
[0068] A cooling liquid circulation flow adjusting port 5 is arranged beside the inlet of the cooling liquid phase change return channel 13, which can increase the pressure of the cooling liquid returned to the initial liquid storage tank I 7 and ensure the normal circulation of the cooling liquid in the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14. The structure of the cooling liquid circulation flow adjusting port 5 can be a straight channel or a channel gradually increasing in the direction of the cooling liquid flow (as shown in Figure 8 The width ratio of the small end to the large end is 1:2-3, and the design is based on the pressure adjustment requirement and serves as a relay pressure increasing function.
[0069] VC uniform heating plate processing:
[0070] An Archimedes spiral curve cooling liquid phase change outflow etching channel, a cooling liquid phase change return etching channel, an initial liquid storage tank, a balanced temperature liquid storage tank, an edge cooling liquid storage tank, a cooling liquid filling port and an exhaust port are etched on the lower cover plate, and the upper cover plate is wavy in shape. The upper and lower cover plates are welded together by atomic diffusion welding. Vacuumization and cooling liquid filling are performed, and secondary degassing is performed. The liquid injection port and the exhaust port are welded to complete the manufacturing of the VC uniform heating plate.
[0071] The upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 of the VC uniform heating plate can be made of copper alloy material with t=0.08-0.1 mm, so that the total thickness of the VC uniform heating plate is reduced to 0.16-0.2 mm, which is reduced by 40%-60% based on the original 0.3-0.4 mm. The 200-250 mesh capillary copper mesh is not used, and the upper cover plate 1 of the VC uniform heating plate is etched into a wavy shape (as shown in Figure 9 The wavy shape increases the heat dissipation area and enhances the heat dissipation effect, while effectively reducing the weight, and the overall weight is reduced by more than 30%.
[0072] VC uniform heating plate working principle:
[0073] The initial liquid tank I 7 is located in a high temperature zone. The cooling liquid is vaporized under the increased pressure caused by the heat. The cooling liquid flows through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Archimedes spiral curve etching channels with the same width to the initial liquid tank II 10 and the initial liquid tank III 11, and then flows out of the etching channels (the etching channels gradually widen) through the remaining 4 Archimedes spiral curves of the initial liquid tank II 10 and the initial liquid tank III 11 respectively, and then flows to the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14. At this time, the cooling liquid is cooled and liquefied, and the pressure in the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14 increases. If the temperature of the high temperature zone where the initial liquid tank I 7 is located is too high, the cooling liquid can be directly vaporized, and then flows out of the etching channel 12 (the etching channel gradually widens) through the 5th Archimedes spiral curve, and then directly flows into the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14.
[0074] The liquefied cooling liquid in the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14 flows back to the initial liquid tank I 7 through the 6th Archimedes spiral curve etching channel 13. There is a cooling liquid circulation flow adjusting port 5 beside the inlet of the 6th etching channel. The cooling liquid circulation flow adjusting port 5 can increase the pressure of the cooling liquid flowing back to the initial liquid tank I 7, and can also ensure the normal circulation of the cooling liquid in the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14.
[0075] The Archimedes spiral curve etching channels between the initial liquid tank I 7 and the initial liquid tank II 10, the initial liquid tank III 11, the initial liquid tank II 10 and the initial liquid tank III 11 and the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14, and the initial liquid tank I 7 and the edge cooling liquid storage tank 14 are respectively in the form of etching channels with the same width, gradually widening and gradually narrowing. The etching channels can be adjusted according to the actual temperature control requirements of the electronic components.
[0076] There are several circular balance temperature liquid tanks on each Archimedes spiral curve etching channel. The width of the circular balance temperature liquid tank is 1.5-2 times the width of the etching channel at the corresponding position. The circular balance temperature liquid tank is used to balance the temperature difference at the local position. There are four cases.
[0077] ① The vaporized cooling liquid flows through the high temperature zone, balances the temperature of the high temperature zone through heat conduction, and then flows into the edge cooling liquid storage tank;
[0078] ② The vaporized cooling liquid flows through the low temperature zone, and then flows into the edge cooling liquid storage tank after the vaporized cooling liquid is liquefied by releasing heat when flowing through the low temperature zone;
[0079] ③ The liquefied cooling liquid flows through the high temperature zone, and then flows into the edge cooling liquid storage tank by vaporizing the cooling liquid to take away the heat of the high temperature zone;
[0080] ④ The liquefied cooling liquid flows through the low temperature zone, balances the temperature of the low temperature zone through heat conduction, and then flows into the edge cooling liquid storage tank.
[0081] The present application drives the cooling liquid from the initial liquid storage tank in high temperature area to the edge cooling liquid storage tank through the etching groove with equal width and gradually widened by the pressure difference between the vaporization of the cooling liquid in the initial liquid storage tank and the liquefaction of the cooling liquid in the edge cooling liquid storage tank, and the cooling liquid returns to the initial liquid storage tank I through the return inlet of the etching groove by the phase change of the cooling liquid along the 6# Archimedes spiral curve. In order to ensure the required pressure for the rapid circulation of the cooling liquid, the cooling liquid circulation flow regulating port is designed beside the 6# return inlet to increase the pressure of the cooling liquid returning to the initial liquid storage tank I, and at the same time to ensure the normal and rapid circulation of the cooling liquid in the edge cooling liquid storage tank. The number of Archimedes spiral curves, the number of direct outflow channels, the number of direct return channels, the number of communication channels between different initial liquid storage tanks, and the width size of the etching groove can be designed according to the temperature control and surface temperature difference control requirements of the product.
[0082] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application; although the present application is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
