[0070] Among them, the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 are arranged along the vertical direction, the lower plate 200 is located below the upper plate 100, the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 are arranged in parallel with each other, and the upper surface of the lower plate 200 is provided with liquid heat-conducting adhesive 500.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lower electrode plate 200 is arranged horizontally to prevent the liquid thermally conductive adhesive 500 from flowing on the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200. The upper electrode plate 100 can be supported by the bracket 600 to keep the upper electrode plate 100 above the lower electrode plate 200.

[0072] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the liquid thermally conductive adhesive 500 from rolling off the periphery of the lower electrode plate 200, an insulating baffle can be provided on the outer periphery of the lower electrode plate 200 in practical use.

[0073] Please refer to the figure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A temperature supply module 300 is used to generate a heat source or a cold source. In some embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is connected to a lower electrode plate 200 for heat exchange. That is, the heat source or cold source generated by the temperature supply module 300 can be directly transferred to the upper electrode plate 100. Furthermore, the lower electrode plate 200 is disposed on the temperature supply module 300.

[0074] Optionally, a thermally conductive insulating plate 900 is provided between the temperature supply module 300 and the lower electrode plate 200. Specifically, the thermally conductive insulating plate 900 is a thermally conductive silicone plate, but other thermally conductive insulating materials can also be selected.

[0075] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In other embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is connected to the upper electrode plate 100 for heat exchange. That is, the heat or cold source generated by the temperature supply module 300 can be directly transferred to the upper electrode plate 100. Furthermore, the temperature supply module 300 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper electrode plate 100 facing away from the lower electrode plate 200.

[0076] Optionally, a thermally conductive insulating plate 900 is provided between the temperature supply module 300 and the upper electrode plate 100. Specifically, the thermally conductive insulating plate 900 is a thermally conductive silicone plate, but other thermally conductive insulating materials can also be selected.

[0077] The high-voltage control module 400 is electrically connected to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 respectively. The high-voltage control module 400 is used to apply a controllable high-voltage electric field between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200, so that the liquid thermally conductive adhesive 500 forms a thermally conductive liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 under the drive of electrostatic force.

[0078] The high-voltage electrical control module 400 includes a controller and a high-voltage power supply. The controller is configured to control the on / off state of the high-voltage power supply. The high-voltage power supply is electrically connected to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200, respectively.

[0079] Optionally, the distance between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 is 5mm-15mm. It should be noted that the distance between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, for example, the distance between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 can be selected as 5.2mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 5.2mm, 6.5mm, 7.1mm, 8mm, 8.6mm, 9mm, 9.4mm, 10mm, 10.2mm, 10.5mm, 11.1mm, 11.6mm, 12mm, 12.5mm, 13mm, 13.2mm, 13.5mm, 14mm, 14.5mm or 14.8mm. It should be understood that the above is only an example and is not a limitation of the scope of protection of the present application.

[0080] Optionally, the voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply is in the range of 3KV-15KV. In actual use, the size of the voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply is determined according to the distance between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 to ensure that the heat-conducting liquid column can be better formed between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, in the present embodiment, the upper electrode plate 100 includes a substrate and an ITO conductive layer. In order to distinguish the description, the substrate of the upper electrode plate 100 is defined as the first substrate 110 and the ITO conductive layer is defined as the first ITO conductive layer 120 in the present embodiment. The first ITO conductive layer 120 is arranged on the lower surface of the first substrate 110 facing the lower electrode plate 200. The first ITO conductive layer 120 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the high-voltage power supply in the high-voltage electric control module 400, and the lower electrode plate 200 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the high-voltage power supply.

[0082] Therefore, when a high-voltage electric field is applied between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage power supply, the surface of the liquid heat-conducting adhesive 500 on the lower electrode plate 200 will be attached with negative charges. Under the driving of electrostatic force, the negative charges will move upward to the upper electrode, thereby driving the liquid heat-conducting adhesive 500 to rise and connect with the upper electrode and keep stable, so as to form a heat-conducting liquid column between the upper electrode and the lower electrode. The upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 are connected by the heat-conducting liquid column, thereby realizing heat exchange between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200.

[0083] Optionally, the first substrate 110 is a glass product, a ceramic product or a heat-conducting metal product, wherein the heat-conducting metal product includes a copper product, an aluminum product or an iron product. In the present embodiment, the lower electrode plate 200 is a copper product.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the liquid heat-conductive glue 500 forms a heat-conductive glue drop on the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200.

[0085] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In other embodiments, the liquid heat-conductive glue 500 forms a heat-conductive glue layer on the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200, that is, the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200 is covered with a heat-conductive glue layer.

[0086] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment also provides a heat transfer method, which applies the heat transfer device based on electric field regulation provided above. The heat transfer method comprises the following steps:

[0087] S10: Start the temperature supply module 300.

[0088] S20: Apply a regulatable high-voltage electric field to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage electric control module 400, so that the liquid heat-conductive glue 500 forms a heat-conductive liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 under the driving of the electrostatic force.

[0089] S30: When the temperature of the upper electrode plate 100 or the lower electrode plate 200 reaches a preset range value, stop applying the high-voltage electric field to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage electric control module 400.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the heat transfer device based on electric field regulation provided by the embodiment arranges the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 in parallel, applies a controllable high-voltage electric field between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage electric control module 400, and the liquid heat-conductive glue 500 arranged on the surface of the lower electrode plate 200 forms a heat-conductive liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 under the driving of the electrostatic force, so that the heat between the lower electrode plate 200 and the upper electrode plate 100 is transferred through the heat-conductive liquid column, and the size of the high-voltage electric field applied between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage electric control module 400 can be regulated according to actual needs (specifically by regulating the voltage value provided by the high-voltage power supply), so as to change the cross-sectional width of the formed heat-conductive liquid column, so that the heat transfer area between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 is changed, so as to realize the precise regulation of the speed and efficiency of the heat transfer between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200; when the heat transfer between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 is not needed, the high-voltage electric field applied between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by the high-voltage electric control module 400 is stopped. Therefore, the heat transfer device based on electric field regulation provided by the embodiment transfers heat through the liquid heat-conductive glue 500, has a high heat transfer coefficient, and has a guaranteed heat transfer efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption. Moreover, the heat transfer device based on electric field regulation has a simple overall structure, and the controllable high-voltage electric field can realize the precise regulation of the speed and efficiency of the heat transfer.

[0091] Embodiment Two

[0092] Please refer to Figures 6 to 12 , the embodiment provides a heat transfer device based on electric field regulation. The embodiment is improved on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment one, and compared with the above-mentioned embodiment one, the difference lies in that:

[0093] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the first ITO conductive layer 120 forms a plurality of first ITO conductive regions 121 on the first substrate 110, and each ITO conductive region is connected with the positive electrode of the high-voltage power supply. The controller in the high-voltage control module 400 can control the power-on or power-off of each ITO conductive region respectively. Alternatively, the plurality of first ITO conductive regions 121 are formed by a plurality of ITO conductive films arranged on the lower surface of the first substrate 110.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in the case that the upper surface of the lower plate 200 is covered with a layer of heat-conducting adhesive layer, when one first ITO conductive region 121 is controlled to be powered on, a high-voltage electric field is formed between the first ITO conductive region 121 and the lower plate 200, so that the liquid heat-conducting adhesive 500 forms a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the lower plate 200 and the first ITO conductive region 121, thereby realizing the heat transfer between the first ITO conductive region 121 and the lower plate 200. Similarly, if two or three first ITO conductive regions 121 are controlled to be powered on at the same time, a corresponding number of heat-conducting liquid columns are formed between the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 at the same time, respectively realizing the heat transfer between the corresponding first ITO conductive regions 121 and the lower plate 200.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in the case that the upper surface of the lower plate 200 is provided with a heat-conducting adhesive drop, when the corresponding first ITO conductive region 121 above the heat-conducting adhesive drop is controlled to be powered on, a high-voltage electric field is formed between the first ITO conductive region 121 and the lower plate 200, so that a heat-conducting liquid column is formed to connect the lower plate 200 and the first ITO conductive region 121, for realizing the heat transfer between the first ITO conductive region 121 and the lower plate 200.

The embodiment is improved on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment one, and compared with the above-mentioned embodiment one, the difference lies in that:

[0100] In the embodiment, the lower electrode plate 200 includes a substrate and an ITO conductive layer. In order to distinguish the description, the substrate of the lower electrode plate 200 is defined as the second substrate 210 and the ITO conductive layer is defined as the second ITO conductive layer 220 in the embodiment.

[0101] Therefore, when the high-voltage electric field between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 is applied by the high-voltage power supply, the surface of the liquid heat-conducting adhesive 500 on the lower electrode plate 200 will be attached with positive charges.

The controller in the high-voltage control module 400 can control the power-on or power-off of each ITO conductive area respectively. Alternatively, the plurality of second ITO conductive areas 221 are formed by a plurality of ITO conductive films arranged on the upper surface of the second substrate 210.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in the case of covering the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200 with a layer of heat conductive glue, when one second ITO conductive area 221 is powered on, a high-voltage electric field is formed between the second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100, so that the liquid heat conductive glue 500 forms a heat conductive liquid column connecting the lower electrode plate 200 and the second ITO conductive area 221, thereby realizing the heat transfer between the second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100. Similarly, if two or three second ITO conductive areas 221 are powered on at the same time, a corresponding number of heat conductive liquid columns can be formed between the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 at the same time, thereby realizing the heat transfer between the corresponding second ITO conductive areas 221 and the upper electrode plate 100 respectively.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in the case of setting a heat conductive glue drop on the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200, when the corresponding second ITO conductive area 221 above the heat conductive glue drop is powered on, a high-voltage electric field is formed between the second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100, so that a heat conductive liquid column is formed to connect the second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100, in order to realize the heat transfer between the second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100. Further, by switching to the power-on of the second ITO conductive area 221 of the adjacent area, the heat conductive glue drop moves to the second ITO conductive area 221 of the adjacent area along the upper surface of the lower electrode plate 200, and a new heat conductive liquid column is reformed on the second ITO conductive area 221, in order to realize the heat transfer between the powered second ITO conductive area 221 and the upper electrode plate 100.

[0110] Optionally, the shape of the second ITO conductive area 221 can be circular, polygonal or other regular shape. The cross-sectional shape of the corresponding formed heat-conducting liquid column is consistent with the shape of the second ITO conductive area 221.

[0111] Compared with the prior art, the heat transfer device based on electric field regulation provided in the embodiment can accurately realize heat transfer of the specified area by controlling the power supply of different second ITO conductive areas 221, so as to realize reasonable distribution of energy, more accurate temperature control, and more flexible and environmentally friendly heat transfer control.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 29 and Figure 30 , wherein, Figure 29 Figures (a) to (f) in the drawings show the change process of the temperature of the single heat-conducting liquid column 100 from 62.1℃ to 100.7℃ within 100 seconds of heat transfer based on the temperature supply module 300 supplying a temperature of 135℃. Figure 30 Figures (a) to (f) in the drawings show the change process of the temperature of the two heat-conducting liquid columns from 44℃ to 89℃ for the left heat-conducting liquid column and from 44.2℃ to 98.5℃ for the right heat-conducting liquid column within 100 seconds of heat transfer based on the temperature supply module 300 supplying a temperature of 135℃.

[0113] Embodiment Five

[0114] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 , the embodiment provides an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a PCB circuit board 700 and a heat transfer device based on electric field regulation provided by any one of the above embodiments.

[0115] The heat transfer device based on electric field regulation in the electronic device provided in the embodiment can be used for heating the PCB circuit board 700, so as to ensure that the PCB circuit board 700 can operate under normal temperature conditions in a low-temperature environment, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0116] Please refer to Figure 20 In some embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is a heater 310 for providing a heat source. The temperature supply module 300 is connected to the upper electrode plate 100 through the heat-conducting insulating plate 900, and the PCB circuit board 700 is arranged on the lower electrode plate 200, specifically on the lower surface of the lower electrode plate 200, and the PCB circuit board 700 can exchange heat with the lower electrode plate 200. Optionally, the heat-conducting insulating plate 900 can also be arranged between the PCB circuit board 700 and the lower electrode plate 200.

[0117] Thus, the high-voltage electrically controlled module 400 applies an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200, so that the liquid heat-conducting glue 500 forms a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 under the driving of the electrostatic force, and the heat source provided by the temperature supply module 300 is sequentially transmitted to the PCB circuit board 700 through the upper plate 100, the heat-conducting liquid column and the lower plate 200, thereby achieving the heating of the PCB circuit board 700.

[0118] Referring to Figure 21 In other embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is a heater 310 for providing a heat source. The temperature supply module 300 is connected to the lower plate 200 through the heat-conducting insulating plate 900, and the PCB circuit board 700 is arranged on the upper plate 100 through the heat-conducting insulating plate 900, specifically on the upper surface of the upper plate 100, and the PCB circuit board 700 can exchange heat with the upper plate 100. Thus, the high-voltage electrically controlled module 400 applies an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200, so that the liquid heat-conducting glue 500 forms a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 under the driving of the electrostatic force, and the heat source provided by the temperature supply module 300 is sequentially transmitted to the PCB circuit board 700 through the lower plate 200, the heat-conducting liquid column and the upper plate 100, thereby achieving the heating of the PCB circuit board 700.

[0119] Further, a temperature sensor can be arranged on the PCB circuit board 700 to monitor the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 in real time. When the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 exceeds a set value, the temperature sensor feeds back a signal to the high-voltage electrically controlled module 400, and the high-voltage electrically controlled module 400 adjusts the applied high-voltage electric field according to the signal fed back by the temperature sensor to change the area of the cross section of the heat-conducting liquid column and accurately control the heat transfer (the applied high-voltage electric field can be stopped when necessary), thereby ensuring that the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 is stable during operation.

[0120] Embodiment six

[0121] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 The embodiment provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a PCB circuit board 700 and a heat transfer device based on electric field adjustment provided by any one of the above embodiments.

[0122] The heat transfer device based on electric field adjustment in the electronic device provided by the embodiment can be used for heat dissipation of the PCB circuit board 700, thereby cooling and dissipating heat in time when the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 is too high, and ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0123] Please see Figure 23 In some embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is a cooler 320 used to provide a cold source. The temperature supply module 300 is connected to the upper electrode plate 100 via a thermally conductive insulating plate 900. A PCB circuit board 700 is disposed on the lower electrode plate 200, specifically on the lower surface of the lower electrode plate 200. The PCB circuit board 700 can exchange heat with the lower electrode plate 200. A thermally conductive insulating plate 900 is also disposed between the PCB circuit board 700 and the lower electrode plate 200. Thus, the high-voltage electric control module 400 applies an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200, causing the liquid thermal conductive adhesive 500 to form a thermally conductive liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 under the drive of electrostatic force. This allows the cold source provided by the temperature supply module 300 to be transferred to the PCB circuit board 700 in sequence through the upper electrode plate 100, the thermally conductive liquid column, and the lower electrode plate 200. The cold source exchanges heat with the heat source generated by the PCB circuit board 700, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the PCB circuit board 700.

[0124] Please see Figure 24 In some embodiments, the temperature supply module 300 is a cooler 320 used to provide a cold source. The temperature supply module 300 is connected to the lower electrode plate 200 via a thermally conductive insulating plate 900. The PCB circuit board 700 is disposed on the upper electrode plate 100 via the thermally conductive insulating plate 900, specifically on the upper surface of the upper electrode plate 100. The PCB circuit board 700 can exchange heat with the upper electrode plate 100. A controllable high-voltage electric field is applied to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 by a high-voltage electronic control module 400, causing the liquid thermally conductive adhesive 500 to form a thermally conductive liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 under the drive of electrostatic force. This allows the cold source provided by the temperature supply module 300 to be transferred sequentially through the lower electrode plate 200, the thermally conductive liquid column, and the upper electrode plate 100 to the PCB circuit board 700. The cold source exchanges heat with the heat source generated by the PCB circuit board 700, achieving heat dissipation for the PCB circuit board 700.

[0125] Furthermore, a temperature sensor (not shown) can be installed on the PCB circuit board 700 to monitor the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 in real time. When the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 exceeds the set value, the temperature sensor sends a signal back to the high-voltage electronic control module 400. The high-voltage electronic control module 400 receives the signal from the temperature sensor and applies an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 to form a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 for heat conduction, thereby ensuring that the operating temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 is stable.

[0126] Please see Figure 25In some embodiments, a temperature sensor is arranged corresponding to each heat-generating electronic component of the PCB circuit board 700. When the temperature detected by one or more temperature sensors exceeds the corresponding set value, the high-voltage control module 400 obtains the signal fed back by the temperature sensor to apply an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the specified area of the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 to form a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 for precise heat conduction, so as to ensure that the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 during operation is in a stable state.

The heat dissipation device 800 is arranged on the lower plate 200 through the heat-conducting insulating plate 900, and the heat dissipation device 800 is used for heat exchange with the lower plate 200. Therefore, when the heat source generated by the PCB circuit board 700 when working exceeds the preset value (which can be fed back by the temperature sensor), an adjustable high-voltage electric field is applied to the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 by the high-voltage control module 400 to form a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper plate 100 and the lower plate 200 for heat conduction. At this time, the heat source generated by the PCB circuit board 700 is transmitted to the heat dissipation device 800 through the upper plate 100, the heat-conducting liquid column and the lower plate 200, and then the heat dissipation device 800 carries away the heat, so as to ensure that the temperature of the PCB circuit board 700 during operation is in a stable state.

The heat dissipation device 800 is arranged on the upper electrode plate 100 through the heat-conducting insulation plate 900, and the heat dissipation device 800 is used for heat exchange with the upper electrode plate 100. Thus, when the heat generated by the PCB circuit board 700 when working exceeds a preset value (which can be fed back by a temperature sensor), the high-voltage electric control module 400 applies an adjustable high-voltage electric field to the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 to form a heat-conducting liquid column connecting the upper electrode plate 100 and the lower electrode plate 200 for heat conduction. At this time, the heat generated by the PCB circuit board 700 is transmitted to the heat dissipation device 800 through the lower electrode plate 200, the heat-conducting liquid column, and the upper electrode plate 100, and then the heat dissipation device 800 carries away the heat, so that the temperature for ensuring the operation of the PCB circuit board 700 is in a stable state.
