[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. The embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be implemented through various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The present invention provides a printed circuit board device with an embedded heat dissipation structure for components, including a heat-generating component 1, a fluid connector 2, an upper printed circuit board 3, a coolant flow channel plate 4, and a lower printed circuit board 5.

[0042] The lower printed circuit board is placed horizontally on the PCB lamination platform. The upper surface of the lower printed circuit board is machined with a groove 6 for assembling the coolant flow channel plate. The shape and size of the groove are the same as those of the coolant flow channel plate. The surface of the groove is provided with a heat-conducting copper sheet or other heat-conducting metal.

[0043] The upper and lower surfaces of the coolant flow channel plate are coated with thermal grease, and the coolant flow channel plate 4 is horizontally installed in the groove 6. After the coolant flow channel plate 4 is installed in the groove, its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the lower printed circuit board.

[0044] The above solution allows for the embedding of a coolant channel plate inside the printed circuit board, avoiding the problems of traditional heat dissipation methods, such as the need to reserve external fans and cooling fins in the equipment, the large space occupied by the coolant channel plate, the need for frequent disassembly and assembly, and the high failure rate. This reduces the installation space of the cooling equipment and improves the reliability of the equipment and devices.

[0045] Furthermore, PCB interlayer adhesive is horizontally laid on the upper surface of the lower printed circuit board at the location not in contact with the coolant channel plate (i.e., the location outside the groove of the lower printed circuit board). PP adhesive can be used for this PCB interlayer adhesive. The upper printed circuit board is assembled on the lower printed circuit board, with the lower surface of the upper printed circuit board in close contact with the upper surface of the lower printed circuit board and the upper surface of the coolant channel plate. Thermal grease is applied between the lower surface of the upper printed circuit board and the upper surface of the coolant channel plate. The upper and lower printed circuit boards are fixed together by PP adhesive and pressing, with the coolant channel plate pressed into the groove between the upper and lower printed circuit boards. After the upper printed circuit board, coolant channel plate, and lower printed circuit board are pressed together, holes are drilled at the contact points between the upper and lower printed circuit boards (excluding the coolant channel plate location). Metal pads are created at the drilled locations to achieve electrical signal connection between the upper and lower printed circuit boards.

[0046] By embedding and fixing the coolant flow channel plate between the upper and lower printed circuit boards in the above manner, the cooling equipment does not need to be externally placed, making the spatial structure of the instrument and equipment more compact, occupying less space, and more suitable for the development and design of precision instruments and equipment.

[0047] The fluid connector is mounted on the upper surface of the printed circuit board and fixed between it and the coolant flow channel plate and the lower printed circuit board. The fluid connector includes a first fluid connector 2.1 and a second fluid connector 2.2. Both the first and second fluid connectors have cooling medium flow ports. The coolant flow channel plate has an inlet 4.1 and an outlet 4.2. The cooling medium flow port of the first fluid connector is connected to the inlet, and the cooling medium flow port of the second fluid connector is connected to the outlet. The fluid connectors introduce the cooling medium into the coolant flow channel plate and draw the cooled medium out of the coolant flow channel plate after heat exchange, achieving the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0048] In one embodiment, the lower printed circuit board is further provided with a threaded hole I 7, the coolant flow channel plate is further provided with a threaded hole II 8 corresponding to the threaded hole I, the upper printed circuit board is provided with a clearance slot 9, and both the first fluid connector and the second fluid connector are provided with threaded holes III. After the upper printed circuit board, the coolant flow channel plate and the lower printed circuit board are assembled, the first fluid connector and the second fluid connector are installed in the clearance slot of the upper printed circuit board and communicate with the inlet and outlet of the coolant flow channel plate, respectively. The screws are assembled from the lower surface of the lower printed circuit board upwards, passing through the threaded hole I and the threaded hole II in sequence, and finally being threaded into the threaded hole III on the first fluid connector and the second fluid connector, thereby assembling and fixing the first fluid connector and the second fluid connector to the upper printed circuit board.

[0049] Furthermore, a heating element 1 is also installed on the upper printed circuit board. Specifically, the heating element 1 is located on the upper surface of the upper printed circuit board at the contact position with the coolant flow channel plate.

[0050] In one embodiment, the heating element 1 is disposed between the first fluid connector and the second fluid connector.

[0051] Furthermore, the heating element can be attached to the surface of the upper printed circuit board by means of, but not limited to, surface mount soldering, through-hole soldering, screw fastening, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, the heat-generating components are electronic components that require heat dissipation and cooling, such as CPU chips, power chips, power modules, or other high-power heat-generating devices.

[0053] The upper and lower printed circuit boards are printed circuit boards laminated together during the production process at a printed circuit board factory. In one embodiment, both the lower surface of the upper printed circuit board and the upper surface of the lower printed circuit board are covered with thermally conductive copper foil or other thermally conductive metal. The first fluid connector and the second fluid connector are a coolant inlet connector and a coolant outlet connector for the printed circuit board, respectively.

[0054] Although not shown in the diagram, those skilled in the art will recognize that the coolant flow channel plate should contain microchannels for the flow of the cooling medium, which can be rectangular or circular. The cooling medium enters the coolant flow channel plate from the first fluid connector, flows within the microchannels of the coolant flow channel plate, and finally enters the second fluid connector from the outlet. Through the circulation of the cooling medium, the heat generated by the heat-generating components is carried away, achieving the purpose of heat dissipation for the printed circuit board.

[0055] The present invention uses the above solution to embed a coolant flow channel plate inside the printed circuit board for heat dissipation, which makes the spatial structure of the instrument more compact, occupies less space, and is more suitable for the development and design of precision instruments and equipment.

[0056] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. The present invention can also have other embodiments based on the above structure and function, which will not be listed hereafter. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
