[0002] The power assembly is an indispensable part of the converter, which includes multiple groups of power tubes. The power tubes generate a large amount of heat during work. If the heat is not dissipated in time and effectively, the power assembly will be damaged due to overheating. To solve the problem of heat dissipation of the power assembly, the prior art proposes to dissipate heat for the power assembly by liquid cooling. Specifically, the power tubes can be fixedly installed on the surface of the liquid cooling plate, and the cooling liquid circulating in the liquid cooling plate is used to take away the heat of the power tubes.

However, the liquid cooling plate with this structure has the following defects: in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the power tubes, the upper and lower cover plates should be as thin as possible, but the mechanical strength of the upper and lower cover plates that are too thin cannot meet the requirements of fixedly installing the power tubes.

[0015] From the above description of the present application, relative to the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The technical scheme one provides a liquid cooling heat dissipation device, which comprises a main body, an inlet, an outlet and a flow channel connecting the inlet and the outlet are arranged on the main body; during operation, the cooling liquid with low temperature is poured into the main body through the inlet, and the cooling liquid is transported through the flow channel and then reaches the outlet; in this process, the cooling liquid absorbs the heat emitted by the heat dissipation component on the main body, and the cooling liquid with high temperature is sent out of the main body through the outlet.
[0017] The main body comprises at least one set of heat dissipation cover plates, the heat dissipation cover plates comprise an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate, the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are arranged opposite to each other in the Z-axis direction, and at least one of the opposite surfaces of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate is provided with fins; the space between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate forms the flow channel; compared with the sandwich structure liquid cooling plate in the background art, the fins are directly formed on the upper cover plate and / or the lower cover plate in the liquid cooling heat dissipation device provided by the technical scheme, and the flow channel plate is not needed to be arranged, and the structural strength of the upper cover plate and / or the lower cover plate is enhanced through the fins; the fins themselves increase the contact area of the heat dissipation cover plate and the cooling liquid, which is beneficial to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0018] In the conventional sandwich structure liquid cooling plate, a plurality of fins are arranged on the two sides of the flow channel plate, and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are attached to the top ends of the fins; for example, the heat dissipation component is arranged on the upper cover plate, the upper cover plate, the fins and the side surface of the flow channel plate cooperate to form a plurality of flow channels; the heat dissipation path of the liquid cooling plate of this structure comprises: the heat dissipation component transmits heat to the upper cover plate, the upper cover plate transmits heat to the cooling liquid in contact with the upper cover plate, and a part of the heat is directly taken away by the cooling liquid, and the other part of the heat is transmitted to the flow channel plate, the flow channel plate is heated, and the heat is transmitted to the cooling liquid through the part of the flow channel plate in contact with the cooling liquid, and then the heat is taken away by the cooling liquid; compared with the above, the heat dissipation path is adjusted, and the heat dissipation efficiency is higher; specifically, for example, the heat dissipation component is arranged on the upper cover plate, the heat dissipation component transmits heat to the upper cover plate, and the upper cover plate directly transmits heat to the cooling liquid in contact with the upper cover plate; it should be noted that at this time, the part of the cooling liquid in contact with the upper cover plate includes the area increased by the fins arranged on the upper cover plate in addition to the side surface of the upper cover plate; in this process, since the fins are directly arranged on the upper cover plate, the flow channel plate is no longer needed to indirectly conduct heat, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency; at the same time, the large amount of surface of the fins can also directly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the upper cover plate or the lower cover plate.
[0019] In addition, when only one of the upper cover plate or the lower cover plate is provided with fins, the component to be cooled is arranged on the cover plate provided with fins, so as to ensure the structural strength of the corresponding cover plate; when fins are arranged on both the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, both the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate have good heat dissipation effect and structural strength, and the component to be cooled can be arranged on both the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, so as to reduce the volume of the corresponding power assembly.
[0020] In the second technical scheme, the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are both provided with fins, both of which have good heat dissipation effect and high structural strength, and the fins extend along the X-axis direction, the side surface formed by the extension of the fins can increase the surface area of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate in contact with the cooling liquid, and improve the heat dissipation effect; meanwhile, a plurality of fins are arranged along the Y-axis direction, which can further increase the contact area with the cooling liquid; in addition, the width of the fins in the Y-axis direction gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, forming a shape of wide bottom and narrow top, when the heat is transferred from the outer surface of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate to the inner surface, the fins have a larger contact part, and the space between the fins is larger, which can improve the flow rate of the flow channel, and the two cooperate with each other, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation cover plate is effectively improved; in addition, the fins are arranged on both the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, so that the thickness of the entire heat dissipation cover plate can be kept within a proper range, and the screws can be easily locked.
[0021] In the third technical scheme, the teeth structure is arranged on both sides of the fin, which increases the contact area of the fin with the cooling liquid and improves the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0022] In the fourth technical scheme, the partition plate is arranged between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, the partition plate can divide the flow channel in the heat dissipation cover plate into two independent parts, by reducing the flow area of the flow channel, the cooling liquid in the flow channel can flow faster under the same flow condition, so as to take away the heat faster; meanwhile, when the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are both provided with components to be cooled, the two parts of the flow channel can independently cool the two groups of components to be cooled, avoiding mutual influence, and at the same time, the partition plate can assist the side with higher temperature to cool the side with lower temperature.
[0023] In the fifth technical scheme, at the liquid inlet end of the heat dissipation cover plate, a gradually decreasing gap is formed between the partition plate and the upper and lower cover plates, through the gap, when the cooling liquid just enters the flow channel, the boundary layer does not appear on the surface close to the partition plate, the boundary layer will cause the flow rate of the cooling liquid in the flow channel to be different at different positions in the Z-axis direction, resulting in a decrease in the heat conduction effect of the cooling liquid; then the cooling liquid is guided to the part where the partition plate and the top of the fin meet, because the cooling liquid has passed through the gap before, the boundary layer phenomenon of the cooling liquid is weakened to the minimum, and the cooling liquid can have high heat dissipation efficiency; in addition, the tooth structure arranged on the fin can also effectively destroy the boundary layer of the cooling liquid close to the surface of the fin.
[0024] In the sixth technical solution, a notch is arranged on each fin on the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate every preset length along the X-axis direction. The originally independent flow of the cooling liquid between the fins will be mixed at the position of the notch, thereby reducing the influence of the cooling liquid boundary layer.
[0025] In the seventh technical solution, the main body includes a plurality of frames. The frames and the heat dissipation cover plate can be fixed as a whole through tailor welding or other processes, thereby reducing the machining process of the main body and reducing the manufacturing cost. Meanwhile, the upper cover plate, the lower cover plate and the partition plate in the heat dissipation cover plate are connected with the frames. The heat of the to-be-cooled component can be transmitted to the frames through the heat dissipation cover plate. The low air temperature at the frames can achieve heat dissipation of the frames, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the to-be-cooled component.
[0026] In the eighth technical solution, the fifth frame can close the edges of the two groups of heat dissipation cover plates. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are arranged on the first frame, and the cooling liquid is reversed through the second frame. The overall flow channel is easy to process and manufacture, and the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced.
[0027] In the ninth technical solution, the flow outlet is arranged on the main body, so that the cooling liquid in the flow channel can be quickly emptied, and the liquid cooling heat dissipation device is convenient to maintain and repair.
[0028] In the tenth technical solution, a power assembly is provided. The power assembly includes the liquid cooling heat dissipation device and a plurality of power tubes. The liquid cooling heat dissipation device can conveniently dissipate heat of the power tubes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0067] Embodiment 2:
[0068] Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a liquid cooling heat dissipation device, which is implemented based on Embodiment 1, and differs from Embodiment 1 in that the heat dissipation cover plate 5 further comprises a partition plate 25.
[0069] With reference to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the heat dissipation cover plate 5 further comprises a partition plate 25 between the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 of the set of heat dissipation cover plates 5, and the partition plate 25 is adapted in size to the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so as to divide the flow channel 4 in the heat dissipation cover plate 5 into two parts in the Z-axis direction.
[0070] With reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in the heat dissipation cover plate 5, the partition plate 25 separates the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 in the up-down direction, and compared with the case where the space between the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 forms the cover plate flow channel 33 in Embodiment 1, the cover plate flow channel 33 is divided into two relatively independent parts in the set of heat dissipation cover plates 5 in Embodiment 2. After the cooling liquid is fed into the heat dissipation cover plate 5, it is divided by the partition plate 25 to flow between the fin-to-fin channels 34 of the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7, and at this time, the fin-to-fin channels 34 cooperate with the partition plate 25 to form a plurality of relatively independent cooling liquid flow channels on the upper cover plate 6 or the lower cover plate 7. The partition plate 25 arranged between the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 can divide the flow channel 4 in the heat dissipation cover plate 5 into two independent parts, and by reducing the flow area of the flow channel 4, the cooling liquid in the flow channel 4 can flow faster under the same flow condition, so as to take away heat faster; at the same time, when the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 are both provided with heat dissipation components to be cooled, the two parts of the flow channel 4 can relatively independently cool the two sets of heat dissipation components to be cooled, avoiding mutual influence, while being able to assist the heat dissipation of the side with higher temperature by the side with lower temperature through the partition plate 25.
[0071] In each set of heat dissipation cover plates 5, the thickness of the partition plate 25 at the liquid inlet end is configured to form a gap 10 between the two sides in the Z-axis direction and the top of the fins 8 on the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7, which gradually decreases along the flow direction; along the flow direction, after the gap 10, the thickness of the partition plate 25 is configured to be in contact with the top of the fins 8 on the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 in the Z-axis direction.
[0072] Specifically, with reference to Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , taking the connection position of the first flow channel 17 on the first frame 12 and the heat dissipation cover plate 5 located at the rear side as an example, which is the liquid inlet end of the cover plate flow channel 33 of the heat dissipation cover plate 5. With reference to Figure 14The left end edge of the partition plate 25 forms a liquid inlet portion 30 and a guide portion 31 from left to right, respectively, and an abutting portion 32 on the partition plate 25 after the guide portion 31, the thickness of the liquid inlet portion 30 is less than the thickness of the abutting portion 32, and the guide portion 31 smoothly transitions the liquid inlet portion 30 and the abutting portion 32. At the position of the abutting portion 32, the top end of the fin 8 on the upper cover plate 6 and the lower cover plate 7 abuts on the upper and lower surfaces of the partition plate 25, so that each fin-to-fin channel 34 forms a flow channel, respectively; at the positions of the liquid inlet portion 30 and the guide portion 31, the upper and lower surfaces of the partition plate 25 form a gap 10 with the top of the fin 8, the size of the gap 10 remains the same at the position of the liquid inlet portion 30, gradually decreases at the position of the guide portion 31, and disappears at the position of the abutting portion 32. Through the gap 10, the cooling liquid does not immediately appear at the position close to the surface of the partition plate 25 when it just enters the flow channel 4, and the boundary layer will cause the flow velocity of the cooling liquid to be different at different positions in the Z-axis direction when the cooling liquid flows in the flow channel 4, resulting in a decrease in the heat conduction effect of the cooling liquid; then the cooling liquid is guided to the part where the partition plate 25 and the top of the fin 8 meet, and because the cooling liquid has passed through the gap 10 before, the boundary layer phenomenon of the cooling liquid is weakened to the minimum, and the cooling liquid can have a higher heat dissipation efficiency; in addition, the toothed structure 9 provided on the fin 8 can also effectively destroy the boundary layer of the cooling liquid close to the surface of the fin 8.
[0073] In addition, with reference to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 , a plug-in flange 26 is arranged at the edge of the partition plate 25 corresponding to the third frame 14 or the fourth frame 15 in the Y-axis direction, and a corresponding plug-in slot 27 is arranged on the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15. The plug-in flange 26 on the partition plate 25 can be inserted into the plug-in slot 27, and then fixed by welding or other means, facilitating the installation of the partition plate 25. Meanwhile, screw holes are also arranged on the plug-in flange 26, and corresponding screw holes are arranged on the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15, so that after the plug-in flange 26 is inserted into the corresponding plug-in slot 27, further locking can be achieved through screws.

Among them, the three power tubes 21 in each small group, one power tube 21 is located on the upper cover plate 6 of the rear heat sink cover plate 5, one power tube 21 is located on the lower cover plate 7 of the rear heat sink cover plate 5, and one power tube 21 is located on the upper cover plate 6 of the front heat sink cover plate 5. At the same time, the three large groups are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction.
