Abstract

This invention relates to the field of SSD module heat dissipation technology, specifically to an SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure, comprising: a positioning plate at one end of the SSD module, a front fan on one side of one set of positioning plates, a rear fan on the other side of another set of positioning plates, a mounting frame on the inner side of the positioning plates, and a heat pipe within the mounting frame; the beneficial effect is that the SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure proposed in this invention first activates the front fan to draw in cool air from the outside, and then activates the rear fan to expel the hot air from the heat pipe.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of SSD module heat dissipation technology, specifically to an SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives, also known as SSDs, consist of a control unit and storage units (FLASH chips and DRAM chips).

[0003] In the prior art, in order to prevent the heat inside the SSD template from being difficult to dissipate, heat dissipation vents are opened on the side of the mounting frame of the SSD template to increase the heat loss inside the mounting frame.

[0004] However, traditional SSD modules simply create ventilation holes on the side of the mounting frame for heat dissipation. But relying solely on ventilation holes for heat dissipation is insufficient when the SSD module is in operation for extended periods. The heat cannot be dissipated quickly enough, which may lead to overheating and reduced lifespan of the SSD module. To address this issue, we propose an SSD module with a convection cooling structure to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure, including an SSD template, a screw is provided at one end of the SSD template, a positioning plate is sleeved on the surface of the screw, a heat dissipation vent is provided on the side of the positioning plate, a positioning ring and a mounting frame are provided on the inner side of the positioning plate, and a heat dissipation pipe is inserted into the positioning ring;

[0007] The heat sink has a front fan inside, a mounting plate on the side of the positioning plate, a second heat sink inside the mounting plate, and a rear fan inside the second heat sink.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning plates are provided in two sets, which are symmetrically distributed about the SSD template. Positioning nuts are screwed onto the surface of the screw, and the positioning plates are fixed to the end face of the SSD template by the positioning nuts.

[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the positioning plate is provided with a fixing block, and one end of the mounting frame is provided with a fixing groove, into which the fixing block can be inserted. The fixing block has a square plate-shaped structure, and the mounting frame has a transparent structure.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning ring is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate, one end of the heat dissipation pipe can be inserted into the positioning ring, one end of the heat dissipation pipe is aligned with the heat dissipation port, and a heat inlet is opened on the surface of the heat dissipation pipe, which is aligned with the surface of the SSD template.

[0011] Preferably, the heat dissipation frame is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate. There are two sets of heat dissipation frames, which are symmetrically distributed about the center point of the long side of the positioning plate surface. The front fan is located inside the heat dissipation port and can draw in external cold air into the heat dissipation pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of positioning plates. There are two sets of mounting plates, which are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the long side of the positioning plate surface. The mounting plate has a placement groove on its side, and a positioning block is inserted into the placement groove. One end of the positioning block is fixedly connected to the side of the second heat sink frame. The rear fan in the second heat sink frame is located in the heat sink vent and can exhaust the hot air in the heat sink pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting plate has a second placement groove at one end, a through hole on the side of the second placement groove, a spring at one end of the second placement groove, and a limit plate at one end of the spring. The limit plate has an "L" shaped plate structure.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the end face of the second placement groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate, which can limit the vertical displacement of the positioning block.

[0015] Preferably, the inner surface of the mounting plate is provided with a buffer pad, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, and the other end of the buffer pad is provided with a protective plate, which has an arc-shaped plate structure.

[0016] Preferably, a connecting pipe is provided on the side of the heat dissipation pipe, and a heat inlet is also provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe. An auxiliary power supply is provided on the side of the heat dissipation frame, which can be used to charge the rear fan and the front fan. The auxiliary power supply is electrically connected to the rear fan and the front fan.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] This invention proposes an SSD module with a convection-driven heat dissipation structure. During operation, the front fan first draws in cool air from the outside, and then the rear fan expels hot air from the heat pipes. The combination of front and rear fans, drawing in cool air and expelling it, creates a powerful convection airflow for efficient heat dissipation. This significantly improves the heat dissipation of the SSD module, avoiding the limitations of traditional SSD modules that rely solely on ventilation holes on the side of the mounting frame. In such cases, the ventilation holes become insufficient during prolonged operation, leading to overheating and reduced lifespan of the SSD module. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides a technical solution: an SSD module with a convection heat dissipation structure, including an SSD template 1, a screw 2 at one end of the SSD template 1, a positioning plate 3 on the surface of the screw 2, a heat dissipation port 4 on the side of the positioning plate 3, a positioning ring 5 and a mounting frame 7 on the inner side of the positioning plate 3, a heat dissipation pipe 6 inserted in the positioning ring 5; a heat dissipation frame 8, a front fan 9 disposed in the heat dissipation frame 8, a mounting plate 10 on the side of the positioning plate 3, a second heat dissipation frame 11 disposed in the mounting plate 10, and a rear fan 12 disposed in the second heat dissipation frame 11;

[0033] When in use, the front fan 9 is first turned on to draw in cool air from the outside, and then the rear fan 12 is turned on to expel the hot air from the heat pipe 6. The front fan 9 draws in cool air and the rear fan 12 then exhausts it. The combination of the front fan 9 and the rear fan 12 creates a powerful airflow for cooling, which allows the hot air drawn into the heat pipe 6 to be expelled quickly, greatly improving the heat dissipation effect of the SSD module 1.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, a positioning plate 3 is provided. Two sets of positioning plates 3 are provided, symmetrically distributed about the SSD template 1. Positioning nuts 13 are screwed onto the surface of the screw 2, and the positioning plates 3 are fixed to the end face of the SSD template 1 using the positioning nuts 13. A fixing block 14 is provided on the inner side of the positioning plate 3. A fixing groove 15 is provided at one end of the mounting frame 7, into which the fixing block 14 can be inserted. The fixing block 14 has a square plate-like structure. The mounting frame 7 has a transparent structure. A heat dissipation frame 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate 3. Two sets of heat dissipation frames 8 are provided, symmetrically distributed about the center point of the long side of the positioning plate 3. A front fan 9 is located inside the heat dissipation vent 4, and the front fan 9 can draw external cool air into the heat pipe 6. Mounting plate 1... The mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of positioning plates 3. There are two sets of mounting plates 10, which are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the long side of the surface of the positioning plate 3. The mounting plate 10 has a placement groove 17 on its side, and a positioning block 18 is inserted into the placement groove 17. One end of the positioning block 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the second heat sink frame 11. The rear fan 12 in the second heat sink frame 11 is located in the heat sink 4 and can exhaust the hot air in the heat sink 6. The heat sink 6 has a connecting pipe 25 on its side, and a heat inlet 16 is also opened at the bottom of the connecting pipe 25. The heat sink frame 8 has an auxiliary power supply 26 on its side, which can be used to charge the rear fan 12 and the front fan 9. The auxiliary power supply 26 is electrically connected to the rear fan 12 and the front fan 9.

[0036] When heat dissipation is required for the SSD module 1 during use, the front fan 9 and the rear fan 12 can be activated simultaneously. The rear fan 12 exhausts hot air from the heat pipe 6, while the front fan 9 draws in cool air, which is then exhausted by the rear fan 12. This in-and-out exhaust and intake by the front fan 9 and rear fan 12 creates convection current within the heat pipe 6. The heat generated by the SSD module 1 during operation is channeled through the heat pipe 6 and connecting pipe 25 into the heat inlet 16. The accelerated airflow within the heat pipe 6 further increases the heat output. The heat inlet 16, facing the SSD template 1, allows for convenient and concentrated heat collection into the heat pipe 6. The auxiliary power supply 26 enhances the battery life of the front fan 9 and the rear fan 12. The transparent mounting frame 7 allows easy observation of the SSD template 1. When the mounting frame 7 needs to be removed, the positioning nut 13 can be rotated to disengage from the screw 2, allowing the positioning plate 3 to be removed from the screw 2. Then, the fixing block 14 can also be disengaged from the fixing groove 15, making it convenient to remove the mounting frame 7 and the positioning plate 3 from the SSD template 1.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Based on Embodiment 2, a mounting plate 10 is provided, which is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of positioning plates 3. Two sets of mounting plates 10 are provided, symmetrically distributed about the center line of the long side of the surface of the positioning plates 3. A placement groove 17 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 10, and a positioning block 18 is inserted into the placement groove 17. One end of the positioning block 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the second heat sink frame 11. The rear fan 12 inside the second heat sink frame 11 is located inside the heat dissipation vent 4, which can exhaust hot air from the heat dissipation pipe 6. A second placement groove 19 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 10. A through hole 20 is provided on the side of the second placement groove 19. A spring 21 is provided at one end of the second placement groove 19. A limiting plate 22 is provided at one end of the spring 21. The limiting plate 22 has an "L" shaped plate structure. One end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the end face of the second placement groove 19, and the other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 22. The limiting plate 22 can limit the vertical displacement of the positioning block 18. A buffer pad 23 is provided on the inner surface of the mounting plate 10. The bottom of the buffer pad 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 10. A protective plate 24 is provided at the other end of the buffer pad 23. The protective plate 24 has an arc-shaped plate structure.

[0039] When the second heat sink 11 needs to be removed during use, first pull the limiting plate 22 to move it backward in the second placement slot 19. This will cause the limiting plate 22 to lose its limiting effect on the positioning block 18, and the second heat sink 11 can be directly removed. The spring 21 allows the limiting plate 22 to automatically reset after being pulled, which is convenient for subsequent re-fixing of the second heat sink 11. The buffer pad 23, together with the protective plate 24, can improve the buffering of the rear fan 12 during operation and prevent the rear fan 12 from vibrating and causing damage to its internal parts during long-term operation.

[0040] In actual use, the front fan 9 is first activated to draw in cool air from the outside, and then the rear fan 12 is activated to expel the hot air from the heat pipe 6. The combination of the front fan 9 drawing in cool air and the rear fan 12 expelling it creates a powerful airflow for stronger heat dissipation, allowing the hot air drawn into the heat pipe 6 to be quickly expelled, greatly improving the heat dissipation effect of the SSD template 1. This avoids the problem of traditional SSD templates simply opening a heat dissipation vent 4 on the side of the mounting frame 7 for heat dissipation. However, when the SSD template 1 is working for a long time, the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation vent 4 cannot meet the needs of the SSD template 1, and the heat cannot be dissipated quickly from the heat dissipation vent, which may lead to the SSD template 1 overheating and reduce its lifespan.

[0041] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
