Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a heat exchange component and a power supply system using the same, and in particular to a heat exchange component used in an electronic device and a power supply system using the same. Background Art

[0002] As the computing performance of electronic devices or information equipment increases, the power consumption of electronic devices or information equipment increases accordingly, and the problem of waste heat accumulation becomes more obvious. In order to ensure the smooth operation of electronic devices or information equipment, the prior art usually sets a heat exchange component for components and modules (hereinafter referred to as heat source bodies) in information equipment where waste heat accumulation is more serious. The heat exchange component guides the waste heat generated by the heat source body outward to the casing to avoid the accumulation of excess waste heat in the electronic device or information equipment, causing thermal shutdown.

[0003] However, existing heat exchange components mostly use air cooling technology, using air as a medium for heat convection, and using heat sink fins to provide a larger heat exchange area. However, the structure volume required for the heat sink fins is large, and is subject to the special setting conditions of the heat sink fins (air circulation is required), which is not conducive to the layout planning of the heat exchange component and easily leads to the inability to miniaturize electronic devices or information equipment.

[0004] In addition, as the demand for "computing power" of electronic devices or information equipment continues to rise, the power consumption of built-in server chips is also constantly increasing. Liquid cooling systems, which are more efficient than air cooling, have gradually become the mainstream of high-performance server heat dissipation solutions. The existing liquid cooling system uses a cold plate with a built-in circulation pipeline to contact the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit), and the heat is taken away by the flow of liquid in the circulation pipeline and guided to the casing.

[0005] How to make the layout planning of the components of the cooling plate and the heat source body easier in the electronic device or information equipment to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the cooling plate, and make the heat source body easy to assemble, plug and replace, so as to facilitate the maintenance of the electronic device or information equipment, while taking into account the structural miniaturization of the electronic device or information equipment, has become an important issue in this field.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to provide an advanced heat exchange component and a power supply system using the same to solve the problems faced by the conventional technology. Summary of the invention

[0007] One embodiment of the present specification discloses a heat exchange component, which includes: a sliding plate and a heat exchange unit. The sliding plate includes a plate-like body, a first flange and a second flange. The plate-like body has a long axis. The first flange is convexly arranged on the first side of the plate-like body, and the first side is parallel to the long axis. And the first flange has a first guide groove. The first guide groove includes: a first section, a second section and a first connecting section connecting the first section and the second section. The first section extends along a direction parallel to the long axis and has a first distance from the first side. The second section extends parallel to this direction and has a second distance from the first side greater than the first distance. The second flange is convexly arranged on the second side of the plate-like body, parallel to the first flange, and defines a slide groove together with the first flange and the plate-like body. At least a part of the heat exchange unit is accommodated in the slide groove, and includes a first guide member extending into the first guide groove to control the sliding plate to move relative to the heat exchange unit in a direction parallel to and / or perpendicular to the direction.

[0008] One embodiment of the present specification discloses a power supply system, which includes: a sliding plate, a heat exchange unit, a power supply unit and a bracket. The sliding plate and the heat exchange unit. The sliding plate includes a plate-like body, a first flange and a second flange. The plate-like body has a long axis. The first flange is convexly arranged on the first side of the plate-like body, and the first side is parallel to the long axis. And the first flange has a first guide groove. The first guide groove includes: a first section, a second section and a first connecting section connecting the first section and the second section. The first section extends along a direction parallel to the long axis and has a first distance from the first side. The second section extends parallel to this direction and has a second distance greater than the first distance from the first side. The second flange is convexly arranged on the second side of the plate-like body, parallel to the first flange, and defines a slide groove together with the first flange and the plate-like body. At least a part of the heat exchange unit is accommodated in the slide groove, and includes a first guide member extending into the first guide groove to control the movement of the sliding plate in the slide groove. The bracket includes a first accommodation space and a second accommodation space. The first accommodation space is used to detachably accommodate the power supply unit. The second accommodation space is connected to the first accommodation space, and is used to detachably accommodate the heat exchange unit and a portion of the sliding plate, and allows the sliding plate to move relative to the heat exchange unit in a direction parallel to and / or perpendicular to the direction, so that the heat exchange unit contacts the power supply unit or moves away from the power supply unit.

[0009] According to the above embodiment, a heat exchange component and a power supply system using the same are provided. The heat exchange component includes a heat exchange unit and a sliding plate arranged on the heat exchange unit. The two are slidably combined by using a guide protruding from the heat exchange unit and a guide groove arranged in the sliding plate; and then a sliding plate is fixed to the inner side of the upper cover of the bracket in a slidable manner. The sliding plate is guided by a guide groove parallel to the long axis of the sliding plate to move laterally relative to the heat exchange unit in a direction parallel to the long axis; and the longitudinal distance difference between multiple different sections in the guide groove and the plate-like body of the sliding plate is used to pull the guide to make the heat exchange unit move longitudinally in a direction perpendicular to the long axis of the sliding plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the heat exchange unit and the inner side of the upper cover of the bracket.

[0010] When the heat exchange component and the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit) are placed in the accommodating cavity of the power supply system at the same time, the heat exchange unit and the heat source body can be brought into close contact with each other through the lateral / longitudinal movement of the sliding plate to improve the heat dissipation efficiency; or the heat exchange unit and the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit) can be separated from each other, so that the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit) can be more easily disassembled or assembled in the accommodating cavity through simple plugging and unplugging actions.

[0078] This specification provides a heat exchange component and a power supply system using the same, which can improve heat dissipation efficiency and / or make the heat source body easier to assemble, plug, unplug and replace. In order to make the above embodiments and other purposes, features and advantages of this specification more clearly understandable, the following specifically cites multiple embodiments and describes them in detail with accompanying drawings.

[0079] However, it must be noted that these specific implementation cases and methods are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may still be implemented using other features, components, methods and parameters. The preferred embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical features of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. A person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field will be able to make equal modifications and changes based on the description of the following specification without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In different embodiments and drawings, the same components will be represented by the same component symbols.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B , Figure 1A is a perspective view of an assembly structure of a power supply system 10 including a heat exchange component 100 according to an embodiment of the present specification; Figure 1B is based on Figure 1A The exploded view of the structure of the power supply system 10 is shown. In the present embodiment, the power supply system 10 comprises: a heat exchange component 100, a power supply unit 120 and a bracket 130.

[0081] The bracket 130 includes a top cover 131, a plurality of side panels 137 and a bottom shell 133 that define a plurality of chambers R. Each chamber R includes a first accommodation space R1 and a second accommodation space R2 that are connected to each other; the first accommodation space R1 is located below the second accommodation space R2; and the top cover 131 has an inner surface 131S that is used to define the top of the first accommodation space R1. The first accommodation space R1 is used to accommodate the power supply unit 120 in a pluggable manner. The second accommodation space R2 is connected to the first accommodation space R1 and is used to detachably accommodate the heat exchange assembly 100.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B , Figure 2A is a perspective view of an assembly structure of a heat exchange assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present specification; Figure 2B is based on Figure 2A The heat exchange assembly 100 is shown in a perspective exploded view. The heat exchange assembly 100 includes a sliding plate 101 and a heat exchange unit 102. The sliding plate 101 is slidably fixed to the upper cover 131 of the bracket 130, and is slidably combined with the heat exchange unit 102, so that the sliding plate 101 can move relative to the upper cover 131 and the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X of the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101.

[0083] In detail, the sliding plate 101 includes a plate-shaped body 101A, a first flange 101B and a second flange 101C. The plate-shaped body 101A has a bottom surface 101S and a long axis 101X. The first flange 101B is protruded from a first side edge 101E1 of the plate-shaped body 101A parallel to the long axis 101X; the second flange 101C is protruded from a second side edge 101E2 of the plate-shaped body 101A and is parallel to the first flange 101B. The plate-shaped body 101A, the first flange 101B and the second flange 101C together define a slide groove U for accommodating at least a portion of the heat exchange unit 102.

[0084] In this embodiment, the plate-like body 101A is a rectangular plate. The first flange 101B and the second flange 101C are two long strip-shaped side walls connected to the two long sides (the first side 101E1 and the second side 101E2) of the plate-like body 101A and perpendicular to the bottom surface 101S of the plate-like body 101A. The slide groove U is a long groove defined by the bottom surface 101S of the plate-like body 101A, the inner surface of the first flange 101B and the inner surface of the second flange 101C, allowing the heat exchange unit 102 to move in the long groove along the direction K parallel to the long axis 101X of the plate-like body 101A.

[0085] The first flange 101B is provided with a first guide groove 101D; the second flange 101C is provided with a second guide groove 101F; and the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F are parallel to the extension direction K of the long axis 101X of the plate-like body 101A. In some embodiments of the present specification, the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F can be a narrow and long recessed chamber (not shown) recessed on the inner side surface of the first flange 101B and the inner side surface of the second flange 101C. In this embodiment, the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F are respectively a slit that runs through the first flange 101B and the second flange 101C.

[0086] The first guide groove 101D that passes through the first flange 101B includes: a first section 101D1, a second section 101D2, and a first connecting section 101D3 that connects the first section 101D1 and the second section 101D2. The first section 101D1 and the second section 101D2 both extend along a direction K that is parallel to the long axis 101X, and a first distance H1 exists between the upper edge of the first section 101D1 and the first side 101E1. A second distance H2 exists between the upper edge of the second section 101D2 and the first side 101E1, and the second distance H2 is greater than the first distance H1.

[0087] The second guide groove 101F passing through the second flange 101C includes: a third section 101F1, a fourth section 101F2, and a second connecting section 101F3 connecting the third section 101F1 and the fourth section 101F2. The third section 101F1 and the fourth section 101F2 both extend along a direction K parallel to the long axis 101X, and a first distance H1 exists between the upper edge of the third section 101F1 and the second side 101E2. A second distance H2 exists between the upper edge of the fourth section 101F2 and the second side 101E2.

[0088] However, it is worth noting that, although in the present embodiment, the distance between the third section 101F1 and the second side 101E2 is the same as the distance between the first section 101D1 and the first side 101E1 (both are the first distance H1); the distance between the fourth section 101F2 and the second side 101E2 is the same as the distance between the second section 101D1 and the first side 101E1 (both are the second distance H2). However, the distance relationship between the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F and the plate-like body 101A is not limited to this. For example, in some implementations, the distance between the third section 101F1 and the second side 101E2 may be different from the distance between the first section 101D1 and the first side 101E1; the distance between the fourth section 101F2 and the second side 101E2 may also be different from the distance between the second section 101D1 and the first side 101E1.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present specification, the heat exchange unit 102 may be a liquid cooling system, including a cooling plate body 102A and a built-in circulation pipe 102S. In this embodiment, the cooling plate body 102A may be a rectangular metal shell, and the circulation pipe 102S is arranged in a winding manner in the rectangular shell. By contacting the cooling plate body 102A with the power supply unit 120 accommodated in the first accommodation space R1, the heat energy generated by the power supply unit 120 is taken away or guided to the outside of the power supply system 10 through the liquid flowing in the circulation pipe 102S.

[0090] like Figure 2AAs shown, at least a portion of the heat exchange unit 102 is accommodated in the slide groove U of the sliding plate 101, and includes a first guide member 102B1 and a second guide member 102B2 extending into the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F respectively. In some embodiments of the present specification, the first guide member 102B1 and the second guide member 102B2 can be a kind of convex column, guide rod or bearing protruding from both sides of the heat exchange unit 102.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2 are protruding columns fixed by screws and protruding from the two side surfaces of the heat exchange unit 102. By combining the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2 with the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F respectively, the heat exchange unit 102 can be controlled in the slide groove U of the sliding plate 101, and the sliding plate 101 is allowed to move laterally relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X.

[0092] For example, please refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B , Figure 3A It is shown Figure 2A FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structural action when the sliding plate 101 moves laterally toward the outside of the opening RO of the second accommodating space R2 relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction K parallel to the long axis 101X. Figure 3B It is shown Figure 2A Schematic diagram of partial structural action when the sliding plate 101 moves laterally toward the opening RO of the second accommodating space R2 relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in the direction K parallel to the long axis 101X (the structural action of the second guide member 102B2 is similar to that of the second guide groove 101F, so it is omitted and not shown).

[0093] like Figure 3A As shown, when the sliding plate 101 moves laterally toward the outside of the opening RO of the second accommodation space R2, the position of the first guide member 102B1 relative to the first guide groove 101D changes from the first section 101D1 to the second section 101D2, and the second guide member 102B1 (not shown) Figure 3A) changes from the third section 101F1 to the fourth section 101F2 relative to the second guide groove 101F. Since the first section 101D1 and the second section 101D2 have different distances from the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101 (the first distance H1 and the second distance H2, respectively); the third section 101F1 and the fourth section 101F2 also have the same distance difference from the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101. Therefore, the heat exchange unit 102 is driven by the sliding plate 101 to move longitudinally relative to the sliding plate 101 in a direction perpendicular to the long axis 101X, thereby shortening the distance between the heat exchange unit 102 and the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101. For example, in the present embodiment, the shortened distance between the heat exchange unit 102 and the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101 is the difference (H2-H1) between the second distance H2 and the first distance H1. At this time, the distance H3 between the heat exchange unit 102 and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131 will also be shortened.

[0094] Similarly, if Figure 3B As shown, when the sliding plate 101 moves laterally toward the opening RO of the second accommodation space R2, the position of the first guide member 102B1 relative to the first guide groove 101D changes from the second section 101D to the first section 101D1, and the second guide member 102B2 (not shown) Figure 3B ) changes its position relative to the second guide groove 101F from the fourth section 101F2 to the third section 101F1. The heat exchange unit 102 is driven by the sliding plate 101 to move longitudinally relative to the sliding plate 101 in a direction perpendicular to the long axis 101X, thereby lengthening the distance between the heat exchange unit 102 and the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101. At this time, the distance H3 between the heat exchange unit 102 and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131 is also lengthened at the same time.

[0095] Figure 4 It is along Figure 1A and Figure 1B In some embodiments of the present specification, the plate sliding plate 101 of the heat exchange assembly 100 is slidably fixed to the upper cover 13 of the bracket 130 via a stopper 132 connected to the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131 .

[0096] like Figure 4As shown, the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131 is disposed face to face with the side surface 101Sa opposite to the bottom surface 101S of the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101. The stopper 132 is convexly disposed on the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. The side surface 101Sa opposite to the bottom surface 101S of the sliding plate 101 has a stopper groove 101O. The stopper 132 is penetrated in the stopper groove 101O to movably clamp the sliding plate 101 in the first accommodation space R1 of the bracket 130.

[0097] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the limiting groove 101O is a long through groove that penetrates the bottom surface 101S and the opposite side surface 101Sa of the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101, and includes an expanded hole portion 101O1 and a narrow portion 101O2. The narrow portion 101O2 extends in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X of the sliding plate 101 and is connected to the expanded hole portion 101O1. The width 101Ow of the narrow portion 101O2 is smaller than the inner diameter 101Or (such as Figure 2B shown).

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, the stopper 132 includes an enlarged portion 132A and a connecting rod 132B. The inner diameter 132Ar (first radial dimension) of the enlarged portion 132A is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter 101Or of the expanded hole portion 101O1. The connecting rod 132B connects the enlarged portion 132A and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. The diameter 132Br (second radial dimension) of the connecting rod 132B is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the width 101Ow of the narrow and long portion 101O2, and the length 132Bh (axial length) of the connecting rod 132B is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the thickness 101Ah of the plate-like body 101A.

[0099] When the heat exchange assembly 100 is accommodated in the second accommodation space R2 of the bracket 130, the enlarged portion 132A of the stopper 132 is first passed through the expanded hole portion 101O1 of the stopper groove 101O, so that the enlarged portion 132A of the stopper 132 is completely located on one side of the bottom surface 101S of the plate-like body 101A. When the sliding plate 101 moves laterally relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X, the connecting rod 132B of the stopper 132 can be slidably inserted into the narrow and long portion 101O2 of the plate stopper groove 101O, so that the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101 is slidably fixed to the upper cover 131 of the bracket 130. At the same time, the heat exchange unit 102 is also fixed to the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101 through a first guide member 102B1 and a second guide member 102B2 extending into the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F. When the sliding plate 101 moves laterally relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X, the movement track and amplitude of the sliding plate 101 will be controlled by the limiting groove 101O, thereby allowing only a portion of the plate-like body 101A to extend out of the second accommodating space R2.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present specification, the bracket 130 further includes a stopper bar 134, which is disposed on the outside of the opening RO of the second accommodating space R2 in a manner parallel to the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. When the heat exchange component 100 is accommodated in the second accommodating space R2 of the bracket 130, the stopper bar 134 is detachably fixed to the bracket 130 by at least one locking component (such as a screw) 136 to stop the heat exchange unit 120 from sliding out of the second accommodating space R2. At the same time, a gap G is left between the stopper bar 134 and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131, so that when the sliding plate 101 moves laterally relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction parallel to the long axis 101X, a portion of the plate-like body 101A is allowed to extend out of the second accommodating space R2 (such as Figure 1A shown).

[0101] In some embodiments of the present specification, the bracket 130 further includes at least one buffer member (e.g., a rubber strip or a plastic member) 135, which is protruded from the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. When the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101 is slidably fixed to the upper cover 131 of the bracket 130, it can be used to abut against the side surface 101Sa (e.g., the side surface 101Sa) opposite to the bottom surface 101S of the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101. Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown in the figure, the compressive stress generated when the plate-like body 101A and the upper cover 131 are combined can be buffered.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 1B and Figure 3AWhen the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101 is pulled toward the outside of the opening RO of the second accommodation space R2, the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2 of the heat exchange unit 102 can be respectively transferred to the first section 101D1 of the first guide groove 101D and the third section 101F1 of the second guide groove 101F. At this time, the cooling plate body 102A of the heat exchange unit 102 is pulled by the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F through the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2 to approach the plate-shaped body 101A of the sliding plate 101, thereby reducing the distance H3 between the cooling plate body 102A and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. Therefore, more space can be freed up in the chamber R, so that the power supply unit 120 can be more easily placed (inserted) into or pulled out of the first accommodation space R1.

[0103] On the contrary, when the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101 is pushed toward the inside of the second accommodating space R2, the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2 of the heat exchange unit 102 can be respectively transferred to the second section 101D2 of the first guide groove 101D and the fourth section 101F2 of the second guide groove 101F. At this time, the cooling plate body 102A of the heat exchange unit 102 will be pulled away from the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101 by the first guide 102B1 and the second guide groove 101F through the first guide 102B1 and the second guide 102B2, thereby increasing the distance H3' between the cooling plate body 102A and the inner surface 131S of the upper cover 131. Therefore, the cooling plate body 102A of the heat exchange unit 102 can be pushed toward the power supply unit 120, and the two can be brought into close contact (such as Figure 1A and Figure 3B ), so as to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchange unit 102.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present specification, the sliding plate 101 further includes a third flange 101G, which is protruded on the third side 101E3 of the bottom surface 101S perpendicular to the long axis 101X and is located outside the opening RO of the second accommodation space R2. The third flange 101G has a fixing hole 101GO. When the sliding plate 101 is pushed toward the inside of the opening RO of the second accommodation space R2, and the first guide member 102B1 and the second guide member 102B2 are slid into the second section 101D2 of the first guide groove 101D and the fourth section 101F2 of the second guide groove 101F, respectively, a fixing member 104 (e.g., a screw) can be passed through the fixing hole 101GO to fix the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101 on the stop bar 134.

[0105] According to the above embodiment, a heat exchange assembly 100 and a power supply system 10 using the same are provided. The heat exchange assembly 100 includes a heat exchange unit 102 and a sliding plate 101 disposed on the heat exchange unit 102. The guide members (e.g., the first guide member 102B1 and the second guide member 102B2) protruding from the heat exchange unit 102 and the guide grooves (e.g., the first guide groove 101D and the second guide groove 101F) disposed in the sliding plate 101 are used to slidably combine the two; and then the sliding plate 101 is fixed to the inner side of the upper cover 131 of the bracket 130 in a slidable manner. The sliding plate is guided by guide grooves 101D and 101F parallel to the long axis 101X of the sliding plate 101 to move laterally relative to the heat exchange unit 102 in a direction K parallel to the long axis 101X; and by utilizing the longitudinal distance difference (H2-H1) between multiple different sections (e.g., the first section 101D1 and the second section 101D2) in the guide groove (e.g., the first guide groove 101D) and the plate-like body 101A of the sliding plate 101, a guiding member (e.g., the first guide member 102B1) is used to move the heat exchange unit 102 longitudinally in a direction perpendicular to the long axis 101X of the sliding plate 101, thereby adjusting the distance H3 (or H3') between the heat exchange unit 102 and the inner side of the upper cover 131 of the bracket 130.

[0106] When the heat exchange assembly 100 and the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit 120) are placed in the accommodating cavity R of the power supply system 10 at the same time, the heat exchange unit 102 can be brought into close contact with the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit 120) through the lateral / longitudinal movement of the sliding plate 101 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency; or the heat exchange unit 102 and the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit 120) can be separated from each other, so that the heat source body (for example, the power supply unit 120) can be more easily disassembled or assembled in the accommodating cavity R through simple plugging and unplugging actions.

[0107] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
