Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat dissipation technology, and more particularly to a water cooling system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of water cooling, water-cooled plates are a common component. Traditional water-cooled plates are generally two separate parts, machined to form the flow channels and then assembled. The middle area of ​​the two separate water-cooled plates is generally not sealed, and there will be internal leakage between the upper and lower layers in the middle area, which is not conducive to adding temperature probes and other circuit devices. On the other hand, the integrated water-cooled plates are difficult to machine due to the difficulty of deep hole machining and the complexity of flow channel design, making it difficult to form water flow channels and resulting in poor heat dissipation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water cooling system that uses an integrated water cooling plate and forms a water flow channel through plugs and various water channels, resulting in good heat dissipation.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A water-cooling system includes a water-cooling plate, a piping assembly, and a drive plate for controlling water flow, wherein the water-cooling plate is connected to the piping assembly, and the drive plate is electrically connected to the piping assembly.

[0006] The water-cooled plate includes a plate body and multiple inserts. The plate body is provided with an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and multiple branch channels. The inlet channel, the outlet channel, and the multiple branch channels all extend from the inside of the plate body to the outside of the plate body. The inlet channel and the outlet channel are connected. The branch channels are connected to the inlet channel or the outlet channel. The insert includes a flow divider plate and an end fixed to one end of the flow divider plate. The end is blocked at the end of the branch channel near the outer wall of the plate body. The flow divider plate is engaged in the branch channel, so that the branch channel forms a water flow channel. The length of the branch channel is greater than the length of the insert.

[0007] Preferably, the branch waterway is vertically connected to the inlet or outlet waterway, and multiple branch waterways are arranged in parallel at intervals.

[0008] Preferably, the end is threadedly connected to the branch waterway, and the end is provided with a socket.

[0009] Preferably, the piping assembly includes a cooling water inlet, a first control valve group, a second control valve group, and a cooling water outlet. The cooling water inlet is connected to the first control valve group, the first control valve group is connected to the water inlet channel of the water-cooled plate, the water outlet channel of the water-cooled plate is connected to the second control valve group, and the second control valve group is connected to the cooling water outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the first control valve group includes a first valve, a second valve, and a third valve connected in sequence, the first valve being connected to the third valve, the first valve being connected to the cooling water inlet, and the third valve being connected to the water inlet channel.

[0011] Preferably, the first control valve group further includes a normally closed valve, a normally open valve, and a first solenoid valve.

[0015] Preferably, the piping assembly further includes a second temperature sensor, which is disposed on the water-cooled plate and electrically connected to the drive board through the second temperature sensor.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] The water cooling system disclosed in this application includes a water cooling plate and a plug-in. The water cooling plate has an inlet channel, an outlet channel and multiple branch channels that are interconnected.

[0028] To better understand the specific technical solutions, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a water cooling system including a water cooling plate 10, a pipe assembly 40, and a drive plate 50 for controlling water flow. The water cooling plate 10 is connected to the pipe assembly 40, and the drive plate 50 is electrically connected to the pipe assembly 40.

[0031] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the water-cooled plate 10 includes a plate body 14 and multiple inserts 13. The plate body 14 is provided with an inlet channel 11, an outlet channel 12, and multiple branch channels 15. The inlet channel 11, the outlet channel 12, and the multiple branch channels 15 all extend from the inside of the plate body 14 to the outside of the plate body 14. The inlet channel 11 and the outlet channel 12 are connected. The branch channels 15 are connected to the inlet channel 11 or the outlet channel 12. The insert 13 includes a diverter plate 132 and an end 131 fixed to one end of the diverter plate 132. The end 131 blocks the end of the branch channel 15 near the outer wall of the plate body 14. The diverter plate 132 is engaged in the branch channel 15, so that the branch channel 15 forms a water flow channel, and the length of the branch channel 15 is greater than the length of the insert 13.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the water cooling system disclosed in this application includes a water-cooled plate 10 and a plug-in 13, wherein the water-cooled plate 13 is provided with an inlet channel 11, an outlet channel 12, and a plurality of branch channels 15 that are interconnected. Figure 6 As shown, the diverter plate 132 engages within the branch channel 15, forming two hemispherical water channels for water flow. The length of the branch channel 15 is greater than the length of the insert 13, allowing water to flow from one hemispherical channel to the other. This creates a large-area water flow between the inlet channel 11, the multiple branch channels 15 (the hemispherical channels within), and the outlet channel 12, effectively carrying away heat and improving heat dissipation.

[0033] In addition, the water inlet channel 11, the water outlet channel 12 and the multiple branch water channels 15 all extend from the inside of the plate body 14 to the outside of the plate body 14. In this way, when processing the water inlet channel 11, the water outlet channel 12 and the multiple branch water channels 15, these water channels can be obtained by drilling directly from the outside of the plate body 14, which makes the processing more convenient.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 5As shown, the branch water channels 15 are vertically connected to the inlet water channel 11 or the outlet water channel 12, and multiple branch water channels 15 are arranged parallel at intervals. This allows for a larger contact area between the water channels and the plate 14, which is more conducive to heat dissipation and also to the processing of the water channels. The end 131 is threadedly connected to the branch water channel 15, and the end 131 is provided with a socket 133, which allows the plug 13 to be screwed into the branch water channel 15, thus facilitating the installation of the plug 13.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the piping assembly 40 includes a cooling water inlet 41, a first control valve group 20, a second control valve group 30, and a cooling water outlet 42. The cooling water inlet 41 is connected to the first control valve group 20, the first control valve group 20 is connected to the water inlet channel 11 of the water-cooled plate 10, the water outlet channel 12 of the water-cooled plate 10 is connected to the second control valve group 30, and the second control valve group 30 is connected to the cooling water outlet 42. The piping assembly 40 also includes a second temperature sensor (not shown), which is disposed on the water-cooled plate 10, and the water-cooled plate 10 is electrically connected to the drive plate 50 through the second temperature sensor.

[0036] In the above embodiment, water enters the first control valve group 20 through the cooling water inlet 41, then enters the inlet channel 11, branch channel 15, and outlet channel 12 of the water-cooled plate 10, then flows into the second control valve group 30, and finally flows out from the cooling water outlet 42. Both the first control valve group 20 and the second control valve group 30 can control the inflow and outflow of water and the flow rate. The second temperature sensor can transmit water temperature information to the drive plate, and the drive plate can control the first control valve group 20 and the second control valve group 30 according to the water temperature and flow rate information, thereby controlling the flow rate.

[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first control valve group 20 includes a first valve 21, a second valve 22, a third valve 23, a normally closed valve 24, a normally open valve 25, and a first solenoid valve 26 connected in sequence. The first valve 21 is connected to the third valve 23 and is connected to the cooling water inlet 41. The third valve 23 is connected to the water inlet channel 11. The first valve 21 is connected to the second valve 22 through the normally open valve 25, the second valve 22 is connected to the third valve 23 through the first solenoid valve 26, and the first valve 21 is connected to the third valve 23 through the normally closed valve 24.

[0038] In the above embodiment, after water flows through the first valve 21, it generally flows into the second valve 22 through the normally open valve 25, then through the first solenoid valve 26, and from the first solenoid valve 26 into the third valve 23, finally flowing into the water inlet channel 11 from the third valve 23. The first solenoid valve 26 is electrically connected to the drive plate 50, which controls the opening of the first solenoid valve 26. When the first solenoid valve 26 is open, water can flow into the water-cooled plate 10, and the water-cooling system provides cooling. When the first solenoid valve 26 is closed, water cannot flow into the water-cooled plate 10, and the water-cooling system does not provide cooling. When the normally closed valve 24 is open, the water flow rate can be increased.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second control valve assembly 30 includes an electrically controlled valve 31, a flow meter 32, a fourth valve 33, and a fifth valve 34 connected in sequence, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the second control valve group 30 also includes the first temperature sensor (not shown), the second solenoid valve 36, and the mounting base 35. The electrically controlled valve 31 is connected to the water outlet 12, and the fifth valve 34 is connected to the cooling water outlet 42. Both the electrically controlled valve 31 and the flow meter 32 are signal-connected to the drive board 50. The fourth valve 33 is electrically connected to the drive board 50 through the first temperature sensor, and the fifth valve 34 is connected to the second valve 22 through the second solenoid valve 36.

[0040] In the above embodiment, after the water in the water-cooled plate 10 flows out of the outlet 12, it first flows through the electrically controlled valve 31, then through the flow meter 32, the fourth valve 33, and the fifth valve 34, and finally flows out from the cooling water outlet 42. Figure 2 In this configuration, the first temperature sensor is mounted on the mounting base 35. Water flows out from the electrically controlled valve 31 and then through the fourth valve 33, flow meter 32, mounting base 35, and fifth valve 34. To prevent short circuits, the drive board 50 (not shown) is located away from the pipeline assembly 40. The flow meter 32 outputs flow information to the drive board 50, and the first temperature sensor transmits temperature information to the drive board 50. The drive board 50 then outputs a control signal to the electrically controlled valve 31 based on the flow and temperature information. The electrically controlled valve 31 controls the water flow rate according to the control signal. The drive board 50 controls the opening of the second solenoid valve 36. When the second solenoid valve 36 is open, the water in the second valve 22 flows directly through the second solenoid valve 36 into the fifth valve 34 and then out, at which point the water cooling system has no cooling. When the second solenoid valve 36 is closed, the water in the second valve 22 flows through the first solenoid valve 26 into the third valve 23, at which point the water cooling system begins to cool.

[0041] Preferably, the first valve 21, the second valve 22, the third valve 23, the fourth valve 33, and the fifth valve 34 are all three-way valves, and the valves are connected to each other via water pipes. Figure 2 As shown, the other ends of both the third valve 23 and the fourth valve 33 are connected to through-plate connectors 331, which facilitate installation. Figure 8 As shown, the electrically controlled valve 31 includes a housing 311, a pipe 312, and a switch 313. The electrically controlled valve 31 is connected to the water-cooled plate 10 through the pipe 312, and the user can control the opening of the electrically controlled valve 31 through the switch 313.

[0042] In summary, this water cooling system improves heat dissipation by forming a large-area water flow through the inlet channel 11, outlet channel 12, plug-in 13 and branch channel 15 in the water cooling plate; and it achieves automated control of water flow through the pipeline assembly 40 and drive board 50.
