Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiators, and particularly to a water-cooled radiator device, an assembly method, and a computer. Background Art

[0002] A water-cooled radiator is a radiator that uses forced liquid flow to remove heat, and it is usually used together with a cooling fan. With the development of society, users' pursuit of the appearance and aesthetics of water-cooled radiators is also constantly increasing. The appearance of traditional water-cooled radiators is single, and users can only observe their metal exteriors. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a conventional water-cooled radiator 10 is provided with a water flow channel 11 and a transparent observation window 12 on its side. During use, part of the water flow passes through the water flow channel 11, and users can observe it through the observation window 12, thereby improving the ornamental value of the water-cooled radiator 10.

[0003] However, the existing water-cooled radiator 10 has the following drawbacks: the transparent observation window 12 is mostly made of glass or acrylic, and the side plate with the water flow channel 11 is usually made of metal. The two cannot be welded, so they are adhered together with glue during assembly. Since the glue comes into contact with the coolant during use, and the coolant in the water flow channel 11 always gives an outward pressure to the observation window 12, the glue is prone to aging, which may lead to coolant leakage in the water-cooled radiator 10 and affect the service life of the water-cooled radiator 10.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a water-cooled radiator device and its assembly method that take into account assembly stability and reduce the probability of coolant leakage in the water-cooled radiator is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0038] The present invention provides a heat dissipation water row device 20, as Figure 3 shown, which includes: a left end pipe 100, a right end pipe 200, a plurality of water passing pipes 300, a closed side plate 400, an open side plate 500, an external water pipe fitting 600, and a waterproof seal 700. Among them, both the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200 are hollow structures, and a plurality of water passing pipes 300 are arranged between the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200. The left end pipe 100, the right end pipe 200, and a plurality of water passing pipes 300 together form a body assembly. A coolant is provided inside the body assembly.

[0039] During use, the coolant circulates inside the body assembly. Specifically, when in use, the body assembly is connected to an external water pump. The left end pipe 100 is divided into two chambers. The coolant starts from one chamber of the left end pipe 100, passes through some of the water passing pipes 300 and then reaches the right end pipe 200; then it returns to the other chamber of the left end pipe 100 after passing through the remaining water passing pipes 300 from the right end pipe 200, thus realizing the circulation. During this period, when the coolant passes through the water passing pipes 300, it can quickly transfer heat to the air, thereby realizing rapid heat dissipation.

[0040] The closed side plate 400 is provided on one side of the body assembly, and the open side plate 500 is provided on the other side of the body assembly. Avoidance through holes 510 are formed at both ends of the open side plate 500 (as shown in Figure 3 ), and the two avoidance through holes 510 are respectively aligned with the ports of the left end pipe 100 and the ports of the right end pipe 200.

[0041] The external water pipe fitting 600 is provided on the open side plate 500. Plug-in extension ends 610 are provided at both ends of the external water pipe fitting 600 (as shown in Figure 4 ), and the two plug-in extension ends 610 are respectively adapted to the two avoidance through holes 510. Moreover, the external water pipe fitting 600 is of a hollow structure, and the two plug-in extension ends 610 are respectively communicated with the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200. The waterproof seal 700 is provided between the plug-in extension end 610 and the inner wall of the avoidance through hole 510.

[0042] In this embodiment, the open side plate 500 is made of an aluminum-based material, the materials of the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200 are the same as that of the open side plate 500, and the external water pipe fitting 600 is made of transparent acrylic material.

[0043] During operation, part of the coolant will flow between the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200 through the external water pipe fitting 600, and the flowing coolant can be observed by the user, thereby improving the ornamental property of the heat dissipation water radiator device 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the waterproof seal 700 is provided with an outer edge contour 710 and a convex rib edge 720. During assembly, the outer edge contour 710 presses against the edge of the avoidance through hole 510, and the convex rib edge 720 is clamped between the outer wall of the plug-in extension end 610 and the inner wall of the avoidance through hole 510. Preferably, an inwards recessed groove 611 is provided at the edge of the plug-in extension end 610 (as shown in Figure 4 ), and during assembly, the convex rib edge 720 of the waterproof seal 700 is inserted into the inwards recessed groove 611.

[0045] Next, in combination with the above structure, the design principle of the heat dissipation water radiator device 20 of the present invention will be described and explained:

[0046] It should be noted in advance that for the radiator 10 in the prior art, by providing a water flow channel 11 and a transparent observation window 12 on the side plate, the coolant flows through the water flow channel 11, and the user can observe the flowing coolant through the observation window 12, thus achieving the purpose of improving the ornamental property of the radiator 10. However, in the prior art, the transparent observation window 12 needs to be adhered to the side plate with glue (covering the water flow channel 11) to form a closed channel for the water flow channel 11. This design has the following two defects: on the one hand, since there is a certain water pressure in the coolant circulating in the radiator 10, the observation window 12 will also be under pressure. And because only the edge of the observation window 12 is in contact with the side plate by glue adhesion, the effective adhesion area of the glue is small, which makes the pulling force that the glue per unit area has to overcome large. Therefore, when the water pressure in the radiator 10 increases, the glue is likely to fail, resulting in coolant leakage and even separation of the observation window 12 from the side plate; on the other hand, the observation window 12 covers the water flow channel 11, which also means that the glue at its edge will directly contact the coolant, making the glue prone to aging and thus leading to the phenomenon of coolant leakage.

[0047] In the present invention, the design of the external water pipe fitting 600 can overcome the above defects in the prior art. Specifically, the external water pipe fitting 600 replaces the water flow channel 11 in the prior art to achieve the water passing function. The external water pipe fitting 600 itself is a closed channel, and this closed channel is relatively independent of the open side plate 500. And during assembly, the external water pipe fitting 600 and the open side plate 500 can be adhered with glue (as Figure 7 shown). After such design, first of all, the integrally formed structure of the external water pipe fitting 600 can bear a sufficiently strong water pressure, so there will be no situation where the closed channel fails due to water pressure; secondly, the coolant enters the external water pipe fitting 600 from the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200, and the water pressure of the coolant will not generate a pressure to push the external water pipe fitting 600 outwards. Therefore, the glue in the present invention will not be subjected to the pulling force formed by the water pressure; thirdly, since the external water pipe fitting 600 is relatively independent, the glue in the present invention will not be in direct contact with the coolant, which slows down the aging process of the glue and extends its service life. At the same time, compared with the prior art, the glue in the present invention can cover most of the area between the external water pipe fitting 600 and the open side plate 500, that is, the area covered by the glue is significantly larger than the situation where only the edge of the observation window 12 is smeared with glue in the prior art, which enables the glue to firmly adhere the external water pipe fitting 600 to the open side plate 500.

[0048] At the plug-in extension end 610, the mating relationship among the assembled external water pipe fitting 600, the open side plate 500 and the waterproof seal 700 is as Figure 8As shown. In the present invention, the open side plate 500 is sealed with the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200 by welding. Since the open side plate 500 and the external water pipe fitting 600 are made of different materials, only a waterproof seal 700 can be used to seal between the avoidance through hole 510 and the insertion extension end 610. The waterproof seal 700 is provided with an outer edge contour 710 and a convex rib edge 720. During assembly, the outer edge contour 710 is pressed against the edge of the avoidance through hole 510, and the convex rib edge 720 is clamped between the outer wall of the insertion extension end 610 and the inner wall of the avoidance through hole 510, and the convex rib edge 720 is inserted into the recessed groove 611. In this way, the gap channel between the avoidance through hole 510 and the waterproof seal 700 becomes tortuous due to the outer edge contour 710, increasing the difficulty of coolant leakage through this gap; the gap channel between the insertion extension end 610 and the waterproof seal 700 also becomes tortuous due to the cooperation of the convex rib edge 720 and the recessed groove 611, also increasing the difficulty of coolant leakage through this gap. Thus, the design of the waterproof seal 700 can achieve a good sealing effect, thereby preventing coolant leakage.

[0049] In this embodiment, glue is provided in the recessed groove 611. During assembly, the waterproof seal 700 is pressed into the recessed groove 611, and the glue will fill the gaps everywhere, such as the gaps between the convex rib edge 720 and the insertion extension end 610, and between the convex rib edge 720 and the inner wall of the avoidance through hole 510, so as to realize a more stable fitting connection between the waterproof seal 700 and the avoidance through hole 510 and the insertion extension end 610, improving the sealing effect.

[0050] Preferably, the waterproof seal 700 is of an elastic rubber structure, and the waterproof seal 700 is clamped and sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion extension end 610. To realize that the waterproof seal 700 is clamped and sleeved on the insertion extension end 610, the caliber of the waterproof seal 700 should be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the insertion extension end 610, that is, an interference fit between the waterproof seal 700 and the insertion extension end 610. In this way, during assembly, the elastic waterproof seal 700 will be slightly enlarged by the insertion extension end 610, and then a tight fit with the insertion extension end 610 is realized.

[0051] Further, in order to facilitate sleeving the waterproof seal 700 onto the insertion extension end 610, a cut 721 is provided on the convex rib edge 720 (as Figure 5 shown). In this way, during sleeving, the staff can pinch the outer edge contour 710 of the waterproof seal 700 to cause the convex rib edge 720 to turn outwards, thereby temporarily expanding the caliber of the waterproof seal 700 and making it easy to sleeve onto the insertion extension end 610.

[0052] Preferably, a strip groove pattern 722 is provided on the convex rib edge 720 of the waterproof seal 700 (as Figure 6As shown). During the process of squeezing the waterproof seal 700 into the recessed groove 611, the glue in the recessed groove 611 will be squeezed into the cut 721 and the gaps between the parts. Among them, part of the glue will enter the strip groove pattern 722 and adhere to the outer wall of the plug-in extension end 610 after solidification. Compared with the smooth convex edge 720, the provision of the strip groove pattern 722 allows the glue to be more fully squeezed into the entire contact surface of the convex edge 720, that is, the strip groove pattern 722 has the function of hiding glue and making the glue more evenly distributed. At the same time, the provision of the strip groove pattern 722 increases the friction coefficient between the convex edge 720 and the plug-in extension end 610, achieving anti-slip and anti-detachment.

[0053] The present invention also provides an assembly method for the heat dissipation water row device 20, which is used to assemble the above-mentioned heat dissipation water row device 20, and mainly includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 1, weld the water passing pipe 300 with the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200 to form a body assembly, and arrange the closed side plate 400 on one side of the body assembly, and weld the closed side plate 400 with the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200;

[0055] Step 2, fit the external water passing pipe fitting 600 and the open side plate 500 together with glue, and the plug-in extension end 610 of the external water passing pipe fitting 600 is inserted into the avoidance through hole 510 of the open side plate 500;

[0056] Step 3, sleeved the waterproof seal 700 onto the plug-in extension end 610, and make the waterproof seal 700 be clamped between the plug-in extension end 610 and the inner wall of the avoidance through hole 510;

[0057] Step 4, arrange the open side plate 500 on one side of the body assembly, and weld the open side plate 500 with the left end pipe 100 and the right end pipe 200;

[0058] Step 5, fill the inside of the body assembly with coolant. Thus, the assembly of the heat dissipation water row device 20 is completed.

[0059] Preferably, in step 2, glue can be applied to the recessed groove 611 of the external water passing pipe fitting 600. When in step 3, the convex edge 720 of the waterproof seal 700 is inserted into the recessed groove 611, the glue at this time will be squeezed into the gaps between the parts, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0060] It should be emphasized that during the assembly process, the open side plate 500, the left end pipe 100, and the right end pipe 200 are all made of metal, so a welding connection method is adopted; while the open side plate 500 and the external water pipe fitting 600 are made of different materials, so a waterproof seal 700 is used to achieve a sealed connection. The waterproof seal 700 is provided with an outer edge contour 710. On the one hand, the outer edge contour 710 makes the gap channel between the waterproof seal 700 and the open side plate 500 tortuous, obtaining a better sealing effect; on the other hand, the outer edge contour 710 also makes the insertion extension end 610 away from the edge of the open side plate 500, so that when the open side plate 500 is welded, the heat generated will not affect the insertion extension end 610, thus avoiding the insertion extension end 610 from cracking due to high temperature.

[0061] The present invention also discloses a computer, which includes the above-mentioned radiator water row device and also includes a graphics card; the radiator water row device is installed on the graphics card, and the radiator water row device is used for water-cooling heat dissipation treatment of the graphics card.

[0062] In summary, the radiator water row device 20 of the present invention and its assembly method take into account the assembly stability, reduce the probability of coolant leakage of the radiator water row, and thus improve the service life.

[0063] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
