However, when the heating element needs to be replaced or repaired, the heating element needs to be separated from the chassis, and then the cooling element and the heating module need to be removed, which makes replacement and repair more complicated. Summary of the invention

[0003] In a first aspect, the present application provides a heating module, which includes a fixing member and a heat-conducting component, wherein the fixing member is used to fix the heating element; the heat-conducting component includes a heat-conducting component and a heat transfer component, the heat-conducting component is fixed to the fixing member along a first direction, the heat transfer component is fixed to the heat-conducting component, the heat-conducting component can transfer the heat of the heating element to the heat transfer component, along the first direction, at least part of the heat transfer component is exposed outside the surface of the fixing member, when the fixing member is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the box, the heat transfer component exposed outside the surface of the fixing member is used to cooperate with the cooling element of the box to transfer heat to the cooling element; the first direction is perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the fixing member with the box.

[0004] The heating module provided by the present application has a fixing member that fixes the heating element, and at the same time, along a first direction, at least a portion of the heat transfer member is exposed outside the surface of the fixing member. When the fixing member is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the box, the heating element is located in the box, and the heat transfer member exposed outside the surface of the fixing member is used to cooperate with the cooling element to transfer heat to the cooling element to complete the cooling of the heating element. When the heating element needs to be repaired or replaced, it is only necessary to separate the fixing member from the plug-in slot of the box and withdraw it from the box. At this time, the heating element and the heating module are located outside the box, and at the same time, the cooling element in the box is separated from the heating element. The heating element located outside the box only needs to be separated from the fixing member of the heating module to complete the disassembly, and the heating element can be replaced or repaired, thereby making the replacement or repair more convenient. Compared with the related art, when the heating element needs to be replaced or repaired, the heating element needs to be separated from the chassis, and then the cooling element and the heating module need to be removed, which poses a relatively complicated technical problem in replacement and repair. The present application arranges the cooling element in the chassis and designs the heating module separately, so that when the chassis and the heating module are separated, the cooling element and the heating element are also separated. The disassembly can be completed by only separating the heating element from the fixing part of the heating module, and the heating element can be replaced or repaired, thereby making replacement or repair more convenient.

[0005] In an implementation provided in the present application, the heat transfer member is fixed to one side of the heat conductive member along the plugging direction, and the heat transfer member is completely exposed outside the surface of the fixing member along the first direction.

[0006] In an implementation provided in the present application, a first portion of the heat transfer element is fixed to a side of the heat conductive element facing away from the fixing element, and a second portion of the heat transfer element is exposed outside a surface of the fixing element along a first direction.

[0007] In one possible implementation provided in the present application, the heat transfer element is a linear structure, and the heat transfer element includes a first end and a second end, the first end forms a first part fixed on the side of the heat conductive element away from the fixing element, and the second end forms a second part exposed outside the surface of the fixing element along the first direction.

[0008] In one possible implementation provided in the present application, the heat transfer member is a curved structure, comprising a first end and a second end and a curved portion between the first end and the second end, at least the second end forming a second portion exposed outside the surface of the fixing member along a first direction, and the rest of the heat transfer member forming a first portion fixed on the side of the heat conductive member facing away from the fixing member.

[0010] In an implementable method provided in the present application, the heating module further includes a thermally conductive patch, which is arranged on a side of the heat conductive member facing the fixing member, and the thermally conductive patch can transfer the heat of the heating element to the heat conductive member.

[0011] In an implementation provided in the present application, a side of the heat conducting member facing away from the fixing member is concave inward toward the fixing member to form a groove, and the first part is fixed in the groove. Along the first direction, the size of the groove is greater than or equal to the size of the first part.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present application provides a chassis, which includes a cooling element and a chassis, the chassis forming a accommodating cavity, the cooling element is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the chassis is also provided with a plug-in slot. When the plug-in slot is used to be plugged by the fixing part of the heating module in any one of the first aspects, the cooling element is used to cooperate with the heat transfer part of the heating module exposed outside the surface of the fixing part to cool the heat on the heat transfer part.

[0013] The chassis provided by the present application has the same technical effect, because when the plug-in slot in the chassis is used to be plugged into the fixing member of the heating module in any one of the first aspects, the cooling element is used to cooperate with the heat transfer element of the heating module exposed outside the surface of the fixing member to cool the heat on the heat transfer element. That is, the replacement or maintenance of the heating element is more convenient.

[0014] In an implementation provided in the present application, the cooling element includes a cooling body and a matching groove arranged on the cooling body, and the matching groove is used to match with the heat transfer member of the heat generating module exposed outside the surface of the fixing member.

The heat conducting member 121 can transfer the heat of the heating element to the heat transfer member 122. Here, the heat conducting member 121 can be a conductive plate; the heat conducting member 121 can also be a thermal interface material (TIM). It should be supplemented here that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the heat conducting member 121, as long as it can conduct heat.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat conductive member 121 is fixed to the fixing member 11 along the first direction A. Here, the heat conductive member 121 can be fixed to the fixing member 11 in a non-detachable manner, for example, the heat conductive member 121 is welded to the fixing member 11, or the heat conductive member 121 is bonded to the fixing member 11; of course, the heat conductive member 121 can also be fixed to the fixing member 11 in a detachable manner, for example, the heat conductive member 121 is threadedly connected to the fixing member 11, or the heat conductive member 121 is clamped to the fixing member 11.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat conducting assembly 12 includes a heat conducting member 121 and a heat transfer member 122, and the heat transfer member 122 is fixed to the heat conducting member 121. Here, the heat transfer member 122 refers to a component that can transfer heat. For example, the heat transfer member 122 can be a component that can transfer heat made of a metal material. For another example, the heat conducting member 121 can also be a thermal interface material. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the heat transfer member 122.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat transfer member 122 is fixed to the heat conductive member 121. Here, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 can be fixed in a non-detachable manner, for example, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 are welded, or for example, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 are bonded; of course, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 can also be fixed in a detachable manner, for example, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 are threadedly connected, or for example, the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121 are snap-fitted. Here, it should be supplemented that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the fixing method of the heat transfer member 122 and the heat conductive member 121.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, along the first direction A, at least part of the heat transfer member 122 is exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11. Here, the heat transfer member 122 can be fixed on the side of the heat conductive member 121 along the plug-in direction B, and the heat transfer member 122 is completely exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 along the first direction A. The first part of the heat transfer member 122 can also be fixed on the side of the heat conductive member 121 away from the fixing member 11, and the second part of the heat transfer member 122 is exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 along the first direction A.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, when the fixing member 11 is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the housing 21, the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 is used to cooperate with the cooling element 22 of the housing 21 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22. Here, the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 can be in close contact with the cooling element 22 of the housing 21 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22; the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 can be plugged into the cooling element 22 of the housing 21 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22. Here, it should be supplemented that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the form of cooperation between the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 and the cooling element 22 of the housing 21.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present application, when the fixing member 11 is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the housing 21, the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 is used to cooperate with the cooling element 22 of the housing 21 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22. In one example, the cooling element 22 can be a water cooling system. In another example, the cooling element 22 can also be an air cooling system. Here, it should be supplemented that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the cooling type of the cooling element 22. In an implementable manner provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling element 22 is a water cooling system, and a water cooling through hole is provided on the cooling element 22. The heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 can enter the interior of the water cooling system through the water cooling through hole, and then the water in the water cooling system flushes the heat transfer member 122 located inside the water cooling system to cool the heat on the heat transfer member 122.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the heating module 1 may include two heat-conducting members 121, and the two heat-conducting members 121 are arranged on both sides of the fixing member 11 so that the two heat-conducting members 121 are located on both sides of the heating element. In this way, the heat of the heating element can be transferred to the two heat-conducting members 121 at the same time, saving the time for the heat of the heating element to be transferred to the heat-conducting members 121. At the same time, the heating module 1 may include two heat transfer members 122, and the two heat transfer members 122 correspond one-to-one to the two heat-conducting members 121. In this way, double-sided transfer is achieved, saving the cooling time of the heating element.

[0051] In the heating module 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the fixing member 11 fixes the heating element, and at the same time, along the first direction A, at least part of the heat transfer member 122 is exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11. When the fixing member 11 is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the housing 21, the heating element is located in the housing 21, and the heat transfer member 122 exposed outside the surface of the fixing member 11 is used to cooperate with the cooling element 22 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22 to complete the cooling of the heating element; and when the heating element needs to be repaired or replaced, it is only necessary to separate the fixing member 11 from the plug-in slot of the housing 21 and withdraw from the housing 21. At this time, the heating element and the heating module 1 are located outside the housing 21, and at the same time, the cooling element 22 in the housing 21 is separated from the heating element. The heating element located outside the housing 21 only needs to be separated from the fixing member 11 of the heating module 1 to complete the disassembly, and the heating element can be replaced or repaired, thereby making the replacement or repair more convenient.

[0052] Compared with the related art, when the heating element needs to be replaced or repaired, the heating element needs to be separated from the chassis 2, and then the cooling element 22 and the heating module 1 need to be removed, which solves the technical problem of complicated replacement and repair. The embodiment of the present application arranges the cooling element 22 in the box body 21, and at the same time, designs the heating module 1 separately, so that when the box body 21 is separated from the heating module 1, the cooling element 22 is also separated from the heating element. The disassembly can be completed by separating the heating element from the fixing part 11 of the heating module 1, and the heating element can be replaced or repaired, which makes replacement or repair more convenient.

Here, it should be supplemented that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the heat transfer member 122. In one possible implementation provided in the embodiment of the present application, the heat transfer member 122 is a thermal interface material.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat transfer path of the heating element is that the heat on the heating element is transferred to the heat conductive member 121, and the heat on the heat conductive member 121 is transferred to the heat transfer member 122 fixed on one side of the heat conductive member 121 along the plug-in direction B through the heat conductive member 121. Then, when the fixing member 11 is used to be plugged into the plug-in slot of the box body 21, the heat transfer member 122 fixed on one side of the heat conductive member 121 along the plug-in direction B cooperates with the cooling element 22 to transfer heat to the cooling element 22.

[0056] The heating module 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application does not need to increase the thickness of the heating module 1 along the first direction A because the heat transfer component 122 is fixed to one side of the heat conductive component 121 along the plugging direction B.

Here, along the plug-in direction B, the size of the first part and the second part of the heat transfer member 122 can be the same; of course, the first part of the heat transfer member 122 can be larger than the size of the second part; in addition, the first part of the heat transfer member 122 can also be smaller than the size of the second part, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In an implementable manner provided in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the first part of the heat transfer member 122 can be larger than the size of the second part, so that the heat transfer member 122 can be fixed more stably.
