[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 - Figure 6 This application describes a thermal management apparatus and an electronic device according to embodiments thereof.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a thermal management device is provided according to some embodiments of this application, the thermal management device comprising:

[0030] The substrate includes a first substrate 13 and a second substrate 23;

[0031] An electrode layer is disposed between the first substrate 13 and the second substrate 23. The electrode layer includes a first electrode 1 and a second electrode 2. Both the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 include a current collector layer and a thermoelectric layer.

[0032] A membrane layer 4 is disposed between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2;

[0033] When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, the thermal management device can store heat while cooling the heat source.

[0034] See Figure 5 When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, the first electrode 1 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply and the second electrode 2 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. Since there is no current path inside the thermal management device, the charging process of the thermal management device can achieve energy storage by forming a double-layer capacitor through charge separation at the interface between the electrolyte and the electrolyte liquid by applying an external voltage.

[0035] The diaphragm layer 4 is arranged between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2. On the one hand, it can isolate the thermoelectric layer of the first electrode 1 and the thermoelectric layer of the second electrode 2 to prevent short circuit caused by contact between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2. On the other hand, it can conduct the electrolyte ion circulation channel in the electrolyte to ensure the rapid charging and discharging process of the thermal management device.

[0036] Furthermore, the thermal management device provided in this application embodiment is simple and compact, and compared to traditional active thermal management devices, it eliminates moving parts, enabling efficient cooling and heat storage through simple charging and discharging. Moreover, the operation of the thermal management device involves no chemical reactions, improving its reliability.

[0037] The thermal management device provided in this application includes a substrate, which includes a first substrate 13 and a second substrate 23; an electrode layer disposed between the first substrate 13 and the second substrate 23, the electrode layer including a first electrode 1 and a second electrode 2, both the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 including a current collector layer and a thermoelectric layer; and a membrane layer 4 disposed between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2. When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, cooling capacity is generated at the interface between the current collector layer and the thermoelectric layer of the first electrode 1 and at the interface between the current collector layer and the thermoelectric layer of the second electrode 2, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the thermal management device.

[0038] Optionally, see Figure 1 He Ru Figure 2 The first electrode 1 includes a current collector layer of a first current collector layer 11 and a thermoelectric layer of a P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, wherein the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is disposed on the side of the first current collector layer 11 facing the membrane layer 4.

[0039] The second electrode 2 includes a current collector layer of the second current collector layer 21 and a thermoelectric layer of N-type thermoelectric material layer 22. The N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is disposed on the side of the second current collector layer 21 facing the membrane layer 4. An electrolyte 3 is disposed between the second electrode 2 and the first electrode. The electrolyte 3 can wet the membrane layer 4.

[0040] Specifically, the second electrode 2 is opposite to the first electrode 1, and a gap is formed between the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22; the gap is used to place the electrolyte 3, the membrane layer 4 is disposed in the gap and separates the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, and the electrolyte 3 can wet the membrane layer 4 so as to conduct the electrolyte ion circulation channel in the electrolyte 3 through the membrane layer 4.

[0041] Specifically, the second electrode 2 and the first electrode 1 can form a two-electrode capacitor, and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 form a gap facing each other; the electrolyte 3 fills the gap, and the gap can be sealed by the sealing ring 5 surrounding the second electrode 2 and the first electrode 1 to prevent the electrolyte 3 from leaking from the gap.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The lower layer of the thermal management device is a first electrode 1, which includes a first current collector layer 11 with a P-type thermoelectric material deposited on its surface. The P-type thermoelectric material can be a Mg2Si-based thermoelectric material or an Ag-based coordination polymer, so as to form a complete P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 on one side of the first current collector layer 11. The middle layer is an electrolyte 3 and a membrane layer 4. The upper layer is a second electrode 2, which includes a second current collector layer 21 with an N-type thermoelectric material deposited on its surface. The N-type thermoelectric material can be a PbS thermoelectric material or an AgInSe2 thermoelectric material, so as to form a complete N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 on one side of the second current collector layer 21.

[0043] During the charging process of the thermal management device, charge carriers such as electrons and holes are transferred through the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 21 to the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 and stored there. A Peltier effect occurs at the interface between the first current collector layer 11 and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, and at the interface between the second current collector layer 21 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, generating cooling through the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2. The thermal management device combines thermoelectric cooling with a supercapacitor to form an active cooling capacitor, enabling heat exchange with the heat source. While cooling the heat source, heat is stored in the thermal management device.

[0044] When the device temperature is low, the thermal management device can discharge after the voltage is applied. Charge carriers flow out from the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, and heat is released at the interface between the first current collector layer 11 and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, and at the interface between the second current collector layer 21 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, to heat the device at low temperature. This achieves low-temperature cold storage and high-temperature cooling without the need for phase change materials such as the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22. While miniaturizing the thermal management device, the cooling capacity of the thermal management device is increased, and the heat exchange effect of the thermal management device is improved.

[0045] Specifically, the first substrate 13 can be a ceramic substrate or an aluminum carbide substrate. When the first substrate 13 is attached to the side of the first current collector layer 11 away from the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, that is, when the first substrate 13 is located on the outermost side of the thermal management device, it can facilitate the connection between the thermal management device and external devices while protecting the first electrode 1.

[0046] Specifically, the second substrate 23 can be a ceramic substrate or an aluminum carbide substrate. When the second substrate 23 is attached to the side of the second current collector layer 21 away from the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, that is, when the second substrate 23 is located on the outermost side of the thermal management device, it can facilitate the connection between the thermal management device and external devices while protecting the second electrode 2.

[0047] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first current collector layer 11 includes a first planar portion and a plurality of first protrusions 111. The plurality of first protrusions 111 are arranged side by side on the side of the planar portion facing the membrane layer 4. The P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is coated on the first planar portion and the first protrusions 111.

[0048] Specifically, the first protrusion 111 forms a protruding position on the surface of the first planar portion and a recessed position between adjacent first protrusions 111. When the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is coated on the first planar portion and the first protrusion 111, that is, the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is provided at both the protruding position and the recessed position formed by the first protrusion 111. On the one hand, it can increase the area of ​​the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12. On the other hand, it can quickly dissipate the cold or heat generated at the interface between the first current collector layer 11 and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management device.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 4 The second current collector layer 21 includes a second planar portion and a plurality of second protrusions 211. The plurality of second protrusions 211 are arranged side by side on the side of the second planar portion facing the membrane layer 4. The N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is coated on the second planar portion and the second protrusions 211.

[0050] Specifically, the second protrusion 211 forms a protruding position where the second protrusion 211 is located and a recessed position between adjacent second protrusions 211 on the surface of the second planar portion. When the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is coated on the second planar portion and the second protrusion 211, that is, the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is provided at both the protruding position and the recessed position formed by the second protrusion 211. On the one hand, it can increase the area where the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is provided. On the other hand, it can quickly dissipate the cold or heat generated at the interface between the second current collector layer 21 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management device.

[0051] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3Both the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211 are sheet-like structures, and the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0052] Specifically, the first protrusion 111 can be a sheet-like structure vertically disposed on the first flat portion and facing the second flat portion; while the second protrusion 211 can be a sheet-like structure vertically disposed on the second flat portion and facing the first flat portion; when the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211 are parallel to each other, it is convenient for the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211 to form a mutually embedded fit relationship, thereby increasing the relative area between the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 and ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management device.

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first flat portion has a plurality of first protrusions 111 arranged side by side, and the second flat portion has a plurality of second protrusions 211 arranged side by side, with one first protrusion 111 located between two adjacent second protrusions 211.

[0054] Specifically, when the second electrode 2 and the first electrode 1 are opposite each other, the first protrusion 111 faces the second protrusion 211, and the second protrusion 211 faces the first protrusion 111; the gap formed between adjacent first protrusions 111 can facilitate the insertion of the second protrusion 211, and the gap formed between adjacent second protrusions 211 can also facilitate the insertion of the first protrusion 111, so as to form a nested structure of the second electrode 2 and the first electrode 1, reduce the size of the thermal management device, and realize the miniaturization of the thermal management device.

[0055] Optionally, the surface of the first current collector layer 11 is planar, and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is coated on the surface of the first current collector layer 11.

[0056] Specifically, by coating the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 onto the surface of the first current collector layer 11 with the planar first current collector layer 11, a flat P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 can be formed. By simplifying the coating process of the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, the thickness of the thermal management device can be reduced, thereby achieving miniaturization of the thermal management device.

[0057] Optionally, the surface of the second current collector layer 21 is planar, and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is coated on the surface of the second current collector layer 21.

[0058] Specifically, based on the planar second current collector layer 21, coating the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 onto the surface of the second current collector layer 21 can form a flat N-type thermoelectric material layer 22. Based on simplifying the coating process of the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22, the thermal management device can be further thinned by the cooperation of the two flat electrodes, the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2.

[0059] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The membrane layer 4 includes a plurality of membrane units 41, each membrane unit 41 being located between two adjacent first protrusions 111 and second protrusions 211, and being parallel to the first protrusions 111 and second protrusions 211.

[0060] Specifically, when the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211 are arranged parallel to each other, two adjacent first protrusions 111 and second protrusions 211 form a protrusion group. Multiple protrusion groups are arranged between the first flat portion and the second flat portion. Each protrusion group is provided with a diaphragm unit 41 to separate the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 211. At the same time, the electrolyte ion circulation channel in the electrolyte 3 is opened through the diaphragm unit 41.

[0061] In addition, when the diaphragm unit 41 is parallel to the first protrusion 111 or the second protrusion 211, the diaphragm unit 41 can completely separate the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 on the first protrusion 111 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 on the second protrusion 211, preventing the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2 from contacting each other and causing a short circuit.

[0062] Optionally, the first current collector layer 11 is a porous carbon layer, and / or the second current collector layer 21 is a porous carbon layer.

[0063] Specifically, when the first current collector layer 11 is a porous carbon layer, the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12 is disposed on the surface of the first current collector layer 11 and can be embedded in the porous channels of the first current collector layer 11 to increase the surface area of ​​the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12; while when the second current collector layer 21 is a porous carbon layer, the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 is disposed on the surface of the second current collector layer 21 and can be embedded in the porous channels of the second current collector layer 21 to increase the surface area of ​​the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 and improve the cooling and heating efficiency of the thermal management device.

[0064] This application also provides an electronic device, which includes the thermal management device 100.

[0065] Specifically, the electronic device has a number of electronic components, and the thermal management device 100 can cool the electronic components when they are hot and heat them when they are cold, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the electronic device.

[0066] Optionally, see Figure 6 The electronic device includes a housing (not shown) and a screen 200 disposed on the housing, and the thermal management device 100 is located between the screen 200 and the housing.

[0067] Specifically, the number of thermal management devices 100 in the electronic device can be one or more. When multiple thermal management devices 100 are placed between the screen 200 and the housing, they can exchange heat for multiple electronic components in the electronic device, thereby ensuring the stability and lifespan of the multiple electronic components in the electronic device.

[0068] Optionally, see Figure 6 The electronic device includes a processor 300, which is disposed between the screen 200 and the housing;

[0069] The thermal management device 100 is in contact with the processor 300 and is used to cool the processor 300.

[0070] Specifically, the thermal management device 100 can be arranged around the processor (CPU) 300, for example, the thermal management device 100 can be arranged at the corner of the square processor 300.

[0071] The electronic device may be equipped with a sensor to monitor the temperature of the processor 300. When the sensor detects that the temperature of the processor 300 has reached a high temperature threshold, the thermal management device 100 can be activated by charging the battery. One side of the thermal management device 100 is close to the processor 300, and the other side is close to the screen 200. While charging, the thermal management device 100 can simultaneously cool the processor 300 and the screen. At the same time, the electronic device can transfer the cooling energy generated by the thermal management device 100 to the processor 300 and the surface of the electronic device through the metal casing and the screen 200, so as to control the temperature of the processor 300 and reduce the temperature of the surface of the electronic device.

[0072] When the electronic device is charging or the screen is off, the thermal management device 100 discharges and releases heat. Therefore, the thermal management device 100 can cool and store heat when the electronic device is at a high temperature, and release heat when the electronic device is at a low temperature or when it is not in handheld mode, effectively reducing the temperature of the electronic device in the usage scenario, and improving the user's handheld experience while ensuring the performance of the electronic device.

[0073] In addition, the electronic components of the electronic device may include a circuit board 400 in addition to the processor 300, and the thermal management device 100 may contact the circuit board 400 and cool the processor circuit board 400.

[0074] In addition, the electronic device also includes a heat spreader 500, which is connected to the thermal management device 100 to facilitate the rapid transfer of the cooling or heating capacity of the thermal management device 100.

[0075] When the electronic device is in a cooling and heat storage scenario, that is, when the sensor temperature inside the electronic device reaches the high temperature threshold, the thermal management device 100 is charged. Charge carriers flow into and accumulate at the interface between the first current collector layer 11 and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, and at the interface between the second current collector layer 21 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22 in the thermal management device 100, and the Peltier effect occurs to release cold energy, so as to cool the casing and the screen at the same time, and to control the temperature of the processor and the surface temperature of the electronic device.

[0076] When the electronic device is in a heat release and cold storage scenario, that is, when the electronic device is charging or in a screen-off state, the thermal management device 100 discharges. Charge carriers flow out at the interface between the first current collector layer 11 and the P-type thermoelectric material layer 12, and at the interface between the second current collector layer 21 and the N-type thermoelectric material layer 22. The thermal management device 100 releases heat and stores cold energy. Through the above-mentioned working mode of the thermal management device 100, which cools and stores heat at high temperatures and releases heat and stores cold energy at low temperatures, the heat generated by the electronic device at high temperatures can be transferred to the electronic device at low temperatures, realizing dynamic thermal management of the electronic device.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0078] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
