[0048] Next, a method for manufacturing the cold plate 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the manufacturing method of the cold plate 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0050] Step S1 , obtaining a first substrate 110 , wherein the first substrate 110 comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the first surface of the first substrate 110 is used for connecting an object to be cooled.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the first substrate 110 is a first surface, which is used to connect to the object to be cooled to dissipate heat from the object to be cooled.

[0052] In step S2 , the second surface of the first substrate 110 is reamed to form a plurality of fins 112 .

[0053] The second surface of the first substrate 110 is raked to form Figure 3 The structure shown, that is, the first substrate includes a main body and fins 112. The fins 112 are formed by a shovel-tooth method, which is simple in process and high in efficiency.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second substrate 120 includes a side plate 121 and a bottom plate 122. The side plate 121 is arranged around the edge of the second surface of the first substrate 110, and the bottom plate 122 is connected to the bottom end (the first end in the height direction) of the side plate 121 to form a trough body with an opening at the top, and a socket corresponding to and penetrating the fins 112 is formed on the bottom plate 122.

[0056] Step S4, insert the multiple fins 112 of the first substrate 110 into the multiple sockets one by one, and connect the second end of the side plate 121 in the height direction to the second surface of the first substrate 110, the side plate 121, the bottom plate 122 and the first substrate 110 can enclose a chamber, the chamber is used to contain the cooling liquid, the two ends of the fins 112 in the length direction are at a predetermined distance from the inner wall of the chamber, and the height of the fins 112 is greater than the height of the side plate 121 (enabling the fins 112 to pass through the second substrate 120).

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the fin 112 of the first substrate 110 is inserted into the insertion hole of the bottom plate 122 of the second substrate 120 , and the top end (the second end in the height direction) of the side plate 121 of the second substrate 120 is connected to the second surface of the first substrate 110 .

[0058] The bottom plate 122 of the second substrate 120, the side plate 121 and the second surface of the first substrate 110 enclose a chamber capable of accommodating cooling liquid, and the liquid inlet 123 and the liquid outlet are arranged in the side plate 121 at positions adjacent to the two ends of the fin 112 in the length direction.

[0059] The coolant can flow into the chamber from the liquid inlet hole 123, then flow into the gap between the chamber inner wall and the first end of the length direction of the fin 112, then pass through the gaps between a plurality of adjacent fins 112, then flow into the gap between the chamber inner wall and the second end of the length direction of the fin 112, and finally flow into the liquid outlet hole to flow out of the chamber. The fins 112 in the chamber can increase the contact area between the coolant and the cold plate 100, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency.

[0060] In the above manufacturing method of the cold plate 100, the first surface of the first substrate 110 is used to connect the object to be cooled, the second surface of the first substrate 110 is shoveled to form fins 112, the second substrate 120 forms a groove body through the side plate 121 and the bottom plate 122, the fins 112 of the first substrate 110 are inserted into the jack of the bottom plate 122, the second surface of the first substrate 110 is connected to the top of the side plate 121 of the second substrate 120, and then enclosed to form a chamber that can accommodate the coolant, the liquid inlet 123 and the liquid outlet are arranged in the side plate 121 at positions adjacent to the two ends of the fin 112 in the length direction, and the coolant can flow into the chamber from the liquid inlet 123 and flow out of the chamber from the outlet. In this way, a cold plate 100 combining liquid cooling and air cooling can be formed, which can meet the heat dissipation of the object to be cooled with large heat fluctuations or the use of the object to be cooled with high / very high heat generation during use, and has a stable structure, simple manufacturing, and low cost.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method for manufacturing the cold plate 100 further includes step S5.

[0062] Step S5, according to the heat dissipation requirements of the object to be cooled, perform one of the following processing on the liquid inlet hole 123 and the liquid outlet hole: 1) Obtain a first plug and a second plug, block the liquid outlet hole through the first plug, inject a predetermined volume of coolant into the chamber through the liquid inlet hole 123, and block the liquid inlet hole 123 through the second plug. 2) Obtain a first joint and a second joint, connect the first joint to the liquid inlet hole 123, and connect the second joint to the liquid outlet hole. The first joint and the second joint are used to connect to the external coolant circulation mechanism.

[0063] That is, the cold plate 100 has two optional structures to achieve diversified heat dissipation.

[0064] Structure 1: Obtain a first plug and a second plug, plug the liquid outlet through the first plug, inject a predetermined volume of coolant into the chamber through the liquid inlet 123, and plug the liquid inlet 123 through the second plug.

[0065] The cold plate 100 dissipates heat through air cooling and the coolant retained in the chamber, which can meet the heat dissipation needs of objects to be cooled with high heat dissipation requirements, or meet the heat dissipation needs of objects to be cooled with large heat dissipation fluctuations, or meet the heat dissipation needs of objects to be cooled with high heat dissipation requirements but low usage frequency.

[0066] Structure 2: Obtain a first joint and a second joint, connect the first joint to the liquid inlet 123, and connect the second joint to the liquid outlet. The first joint and the second joint are used to connect to a circulating cooling mechanism of an external coolant.

[0067] The cold plate 100 dissipates heat through air cooling and the coolant flowing in the chamber (the circulating cooling mechanism cools and circulates the coolant, which may be the cooling device 320 described below), and can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the object to be cooled with a high heat dissipation requirement.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S4, the connection between the side plate 121 and the first substrate 110, and the connection between the bottom plate 122 and the fins 112 are both brazed by means of a brazing plate.

[0069] Liquid leakage in the chamber can be avoided by soldering the connection between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 (ie, the connection between the side plate 121 and the first substrate 110 , and the connection between the bottom plate 122 and the fins 112 ) with a solder plate.

[0070] It should be noted that the above are only optional examples, and laser welding may also be performed on the connection between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 by laser, which should be understood to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, step S6 is further included between step S2 and step S3, and step S6 includes: step S61, grooving the first surface of the first substrate 110 to form a groove 111; step S62, obtaining a heat pipe 400, the size of which is adapted to the groove 111; step S63, burying the heat pipe 400 in the groove 111. The heat pipe 400 is a known technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0072] The heat pipe 400 is embedded in the groove 111 of the first substrate 110, which can increase the contact area between the heat pipe 400 and the first substrate 110. The heat pipe 400 has a high thermal conductivity, and can more quickly exchange heat from the object to be cooled with the area of ​​the cold plate 100 that is not in contact with the object to be cooled, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0073] Furthermore, step S6 also includes: step S64, extruding the heat pipe 400 so that the upper surface of the heat pipe 400 is flush with the first surface of the first substrate 110; step S65, obtaining thermal conductive resin, and filling the thermal conductive resin into the gap between the heat pipe 400 and the groove 111.

[0074] The heat pipe 400 is forced to be flush with the first surface of the first substrate 110, which can increase the contact area between the heat pipe 400 and the object to be cooled, increase the heat exchange efficiency, and increase the contact between the heat pipe 400 and the first substrate 110, reducing thermal resistance. The thermal conductive resin can further reduce the thermal resistance between the heat pipe 400 and the first substrate 110, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the cold plate 100.

[0075] The cooling system according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below. The cooling system includes a cold plate 100 , a temperature sensor and a fan 200 .

[0076] The cold plate 100 is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the cold plate 100 described above. The temperature sensor is used to connect to the object to be cooled to detect the temperature of the object to be cooled. The fan 200 faces the fins 112 of the cold plate 100 .

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the fan 200 is disposed on the side of the cold plate 100, facing the fins 112, so as to form forced convection heat exchange and improve heat exchange efficiency. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the object to be cooled, and can timely and accurately obtain the temperature of the object to be cooled so as to make corresponding adjustments.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling system further includes a water pump 310 and a cooling device 320. The liquid inlet of the water pump 310 is connected to the liquid outlet of the cold plate 100. The liquid outlet of the cooling device 320 is connected to the liquid outlet of the water pump 310 to cool the coolant, and the liquid outlet of the cooling device 320 is connected to the liquid inlet 123 of the cold plate 100.

[0079] The water pump 310 can extract the coolant in the cold plate 100 and transport the coolant to the cooling device 320. The cooling device 320 cools the coolant and then transports the cooled coolant back to the cold plate 100. Thus, the coolant in the chamber of the cold plate 100 can be kept at a low temperature.

[0080] Furthermore, the cooling device 320 includes a metal shell 321 and a semiconductor refrigerator 322. The metal shell 321 can contain cooling liquid, and the cooling device 320 connects the liquid outlet of the water pump 310 and the liquid inlet hole 123 of the cold plate 100 through the metal shell 321. The semiconductor refrigerator 322 is attached to the surface of the metal shell 321, and the semiconductor refrigerator 322 can cool the metal shell 321.

[0081] The semiconductor refrigerator 322 cools the metal shell 321 , and the metal shell 321 exchanges heat with the cooling liquid, thereby reducing the temperature of the cooling liquid in the metal shell 321 .

[0082] Furthermore, the metal shell 321 and the semiconductor refrigerator 322 each include a plurality of metal shells 321 and semiconductor refrigerators 322, and the metal shells 321 correspond to each other one by one. The metal shells 321 are formed into a column, and two adjacent metal shells 321 are threadedly connected. The cooling device 320 also includes a metal filter, which is arranged at the connection between two adjacent metal shells 321.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, a semiconductor refrigerator 322 is arranged on a metal shell 321. According to the heat dissipation requirements of the object to be cooled, a suitable number of metal shells 321 can be selected. The more metal shells 321 there are, the stronger the cooling capacity is. After the number of metal shells 321 is selected, the metal shells 321 are combined (two adjacent metal shells 321 are threadedly connected). The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the cooling device 320 are respectively arranged at the first and the last of the multiple metal shells 321.

[0084] A metal filter is provided between adjacent metal shells 321, which can reduce pollutants (impurities, particles, etc.) in the coolant, increase the cleanliness of the coolant, and increase the contact area between the coolant and the cooling device 320, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0085] Optionally, in the case of including multiple metal filters, the mesh size of the metal filter closer to the liquid outlet of the cooling device 320 is smaller and denser, thereby achieving a progression from coarse filtration to fine filtration, further improving the cleanliness of the cooling and avoiding clogging of the metal filter.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling device 320 also includes a controller, which is connected to the temperature sensor, the fan 200, the water pump 310 and the semiconductor refrigerator 322, so as to start the fan 200 based on the temperature of the coolant detected by the temperature sensor being higher than the first predetermined temperature, and to start the water pump 310 and the semiconductor refrigerator 322 based on the temperature of the coolant monitored by the temperature sensor being higher than the second predetermined temperature, and the first predetermined temperature is lower than the second predetermined temperature.

[0087] That is, according to the temperature of the object to be cooled monitored by the temperature sensor, the controller controls and adjusts the fan 200, the water pump 310 and the semiconductor refrigerator 320 as follows:

[0088] 1) The temperature of the object to be cooled is lower than a first predetermined temperature.

[0089] In this case, the object to be cooled is cooled by natural convection of air cooling and the coolant retained in the multifunctional cold plate 100 .

[0090] 2) The temperature of the object to be cooled is higher than the first predetermined temperature and lower than the second predetermined temperature.

[0091] In this case, the controller controls the fan 200 to start. The object to be cooled is cooled by forced convection of air cooling and the coolant retained in the multifunctional cold plate 100 .

[0092] 3) The temperature of the object to be cooled is higher than the second predetermined temperature.

[0093] In this case, the controller controls the water pump 310 and the cooling device 320 to start up based on the start-up of the fan 200. The cooling object is cooled by forced convection of air cooling and the coolant flowing and refrigerated by the cooling device 320.

[0094] The above cooling system can be adjusted in time according to the temperature of the object to be cooled, can reduce energy consumption, and has high heat dissipation efficiency for the object to be cooled.

[0095] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
