Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical module structures, and particularly to an OSFP package high-speed optical module structure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, the chip density on circuit boards is getting higher and higher, and the power consumption is also increasing. This leads to a sharp increase in the heat generated by chips during operation. When the chip temperature is too high, the performance of its internal components will be affected, and even the chip may fail. The traditional heat dissipation housing has poor heat dissipation effect in high-temperature environments, causing the chip to be in a high-temperature state for a long time, increasing the risk of failure. To ensure the normal operation of the chip, these heats must be dissipated in time. The traditional heat dissipation housing is usually made of metal materials, and the heat generated by the chip is transferred to the surface of the housing through heat conduction, and then the heat is dissipated into the air by relying on natural convection or forced air cooling. However, this method often has poor effects in high-temperature environments because the high-temperature environment will slow down the air flow speed, affecting the heat dissipation effect.

However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein; on the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a structure of an OSFP-packaged high-speed optical module according to the present invention; through the optimization and improvement of the heat dissipation component of an OSFP-packaged high-speed optical module structure in the prior art, the first capsule contains calcium chloride hexahydrate, and the first capsule serves as the initial heat dissipation unit of the heat dissipation component. Calcium chloride hexahydrate starts to absorb heat in a wide temperature range of 30 - 117 °C, and provides a stable heat dissipation effect for the optical module through the dissolution process. Its low-temperature startup characteristic ensures that the optical module can obtain effective heat dissipation protection at the initial stage of startup, which helps to extend the service life of the chip. The second capsule contains sodium sulfate decahydrate, which starts to absorb heat at 32.4 °C, providing further heat dissipation support for the optical module. The heat absorption temperature of sodium sulfate decahydrate is moderate, and it can maintain a stable heat dissipation performance when the optical module operates in a lower temperature range, ensuring that the chip temperature will not rise excessively. The third capsule contains sodium carbonate decahydrate. Similar to the second capsule, sodium carbonate decahydrate starts to absorb heat at 33.5 °C, providing additional heat dissipation support for the optical module. Its slightly higher heat absorption temperature enables the third capsule to continue to play a heat dissipation role when the optical module operates in a slightly higher temperature range, forming a relay with the second capsule to ensure the continuity of the heat dissipation effect. The fourth capsule contains copper sulfate pentahydrate, which starts to decompose and absorb heat in the range of 45 - 110 °C, providing heat dissipation support at medium and high temperatures. The wide heat absorption temperature range of copper sulfate pentahydrate enables the heat dissipation component to adapt to a variety of temperature environments, ensuring that the optical module can operate stably under different conditions. The fifth capsule contains ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, which starts to decompose and absorb heat at 56 - 64 °C, and has a strong heat absorption capacity, enabling ferrous sulfate heptahydrate to still provide an effective heat dissipation effect when the optical module operates at a higher temperature, ensuring that the chip will not be damaged due to overheating. The sixth capsule contains sodium acetate trihydrate as the high-temperature heat dissipation unit of the heat dissipation component. Sodium acetate trihydrate starts to decompose and absorb heat in the range of 58 - 120 °C, providing the main heat dissipation support at high temperatures. Its high-temperature startup characteristic enables the heat dissipation component to still maintain a stable heat dissipation performance when the optical module operates at an extremely high temperature, ensuring that the optical module can still operate normally at the high-temperature limit. The thermal conductive silica gel has excellent thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the heating element to other heat dissipation components. The thermal conductive silica gel is internally wrapped with nickel-titanium shape memory metal, enabling it to form a morphological change according to the temperature change, thereby driving the tightness of the attachment between each dielectric layer. The combined use of the capsule, the thermal conductive silica gel, and the chemical substances in the capsule realizes the all-round heat dissipation support for the optical module. From low-temperature startup to high-temperature operation, each capsule plays its unique role, jointly ensuring that the optical module can operate stably under different temperature conditions. The wide applicable temperature range, high heat dissipation performance, and stable working performance of the heat dissipation component provide a reliable heat dissipation method for the OSFP-packaged high-speed optical module.

[0074] The first cavity 320 and the second cavity 330 are both opened on one side of the top of the electrical connection box 310, and are rectangular body structures. The electrode hole 340 is penetrated and opened on the other side of the electrical connection box 310;

[0075] The optical fiber 350 is a cylindrical body, one end is fixedly connected to the electrical connection box 310, and the other end is connected to the optical interface 370 through the connection end 360, forming an optical signal transmission channel.

[0080] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application described above have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0081] The first bladder 410, as a packaging structure, mainly serves to package and protect the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 inside. It provides a closed environment to prevent the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 from directly contacting the external environment, thereby avoiding its contamination or physical damage. The first bladder 410 is closely attached near the chip or component that needs to dissipate heat to ensure the heat conduction efficiency. The first bladder 410 has good heat conductivity and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the chip to the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411, which helps to accelerate the endothermic process of the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 will gradually lose its crystal water at about 30°C, and this process is an endothermic process. When the optical module is working, the heat generated by the chip will be conducted to the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411, prompting it to gradually lose its crystal water and absorb a large amount of heat. The endothermic phase change method can effectively reduce the temperature of the chip and prevent it from overheating. Since the phase change temperature of the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 is relatively low (about 30°C), it can effectively absorb heat within the normal working temperature range of the optical module. The temperature regulation mechanism helps to maintain the stability of the temperature inside the optical module and improve the reliability and stability of the system. After the calcium chloride hexahydrate 411 loses its crystal water, it can be restored to its crystal hydrate state by heating or other means, so as to realize recycling. The heat dissipation component can be used for a long time without frequently replacing materials, reducing the maintenance cost.

[0082] Example Two

[0083] In order to further improve the applicability of the OSFP package high-speed optical module structure of the present application and the convenience during use, the embodiments of the present application have optimized and improved the heat dissipation component. Specifically:

[0084] As Figure 6 shown, the heat dissipation component further includes a second bladder 420, a third bladder 430, a fourth bladder 440, a fifth bladder 450, and a sixth bladder 460. Each bladder is an ellipsoid, and they are nested layer by layer to form a multi-level heat dissipation structure;

[0085] The second bladder 420, the third bladder 430, the fourth bladder 440, the fifth bladder 450, and the sixth bladder 460 are respectively filled with sodium sulfate decahydrate 421, sodium carbonate decahydrate 431, copper sulfate pentahydrate 441, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 451, and sodium acetate trihydrate 461. Each bladder absorbs or releases heat through the chemical substances inside it when the temperature changes, enhancing the heat dissipation effect. The bladder is made of a polymer material with high strength and high sealing performance, such as polyimide or polytetrafluoroethylene, to ensure that it can withstand certain pressure and temperature changes while preventing the leakage of internal chemical substances;

[0086]

[0087] Through the synergistic effect of multiple bladders, efficient cooling of the continuously working chip is achieved. The heat dissipation component includes a second bladder 420, a third bladder 430, a fourth bladder 440, a fifth bladder 450, and a sixth bladder 460. Each bladder contains a specific chemical substance, and these substances gradually absorb heat when reaching their lowest starting temperature, jointly providing heat dissipation support for the optical module.

[0088] The second bladder 420 contains sodium sulfate decahydrate 421, which starts to absorb heat and dissolve at 32.4 °C, providing initial heat dissipation support for the optical module. Its low-temperature startup characteristic ensures that the optical module can obtain effective heat dissipation effect at the initial stage of startup, which helps to extend the service life of the chip.

[0089] The third bladder 430 contains sodium carbonate decahydrate 431, and its heat absorption starting temperature is 33.5 °C, slightly higher than that of sodium sulfate decahydrate 421, enabling the two to work synergistically within a similar temperature range, strengthening the heat dissipation effect in the medium and low temperature sections, and ensuring that the temperature of the optical module will not rise excessively during continuous operation.

[0090] The fourth capsule 440 contains copper sulfate pentahydrate 441, which absorbs heat and decomposes in the range of 45 - 110 °C, providing heat dissipation support for the optical module at medium and high temperatures. Its wide heat absorption temperature range enables the heat dissipation component to adapt to various temperature environments, ensuring the stable operation of the optical module under different conditions.

[0091] Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 451 in the fifth capsule 450 starts to decompose and absorb heat at 56 - 64 °C, with strong heat absorption ability. This characteristic enables ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 451 to still exhibit excellent heat dissipation effect in a relatively high temperature range, forming a relay with the fourth capsule 440 to ensure stable heat dissipation support for the optical module in the high temperature section.

[0092] The sixth capsule 460 contains sodium acetate trihydrate 461, which absorbs heat and decomposes in the range of 58 - 120 °C, providing the main heat dissipation support for the optical module at high temperatures. The high temperature activation characteristic of sodium acetate trihydrate 461 enables the heat dissipation component to maintain stable heat dissipation performance when the optical module operates at extremely high temperatures, ensuring that the chip will not be damaged due to overheating.

[0093] Through the combined use, all-round heat dissipation support for the optical module is achieved. From low-temperature startup to high-temperature operation, each capsule plays its unique role, jointly ensuring the stable operation of the optical module under different temperature conditions. The wide applicable temperature range, high heat dissipation performance, and stable working performance of the heat dissipation component provide reliable heat dissipation effect for the OSFP-packaged high-speed optical module.

[0094] Embodiment 3

[0097] There is thermal conductive silicone 470 connected between the thermal conductive pad 130 and the first capsule 410. The thermal conductive silicone 470 is in a cylindrical shape. The thermal conductive silicone 470 has excellent thermal conductivity and flexibility. Nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 is arranged inside the thermal conductive silicone 470. The thermal conductive silicone 470 evenly conducts the heat generated inside the optical module to the capsule;

[0098] The thermal conductive silica gel 470 has excellent thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the heating element to other heat dissipation components. The nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 is encapsulated inside the thermal conductive silica gel 470, enabling it to form a morphological change according to the temperature change, thereby driving the tightness of the attachment between each dielectric layer, which helps to maintain the optimal heat dissipation effect at different temperatures. The thermal conductive silica gel 470 also plays a sealing and protective role, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the optical module, and at the same time protecting the heating element from mechanical damage. The nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 has a unique shape memory effect and can return to the preset shape at a specific temperature, enabling the thermal conductive silica gel 470 to automatically adjust its morphology when the temperature changes, thereby optimizing the heat dissipation effect. The nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 also has good superelasticity and can withstand large deformations and quickly return to its original shape after unloading, enabling the thermal conductive silica gel 470 to maintain stable performance when being squeezed or stretched. As the temperature inside the optical module changes, the nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 will undergo a morphological change, which will drive the change in the tightness of the attachment between the thermal conductive silica gel 470 and each dielectric layer in contact with it. When the temperature rises, the morphological change of the alloy may increase the contact area and tightness between the thermal conductive silica gel 470 and the dielectric layer, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency; when the temperature drops, it may reduce the contact area and tightness to reduce the heat conduction rate and prevent overcooling. The morphological change of the nickel-titanium shape memory metal 471 may also guide the air flow inside the optical module. When the temperature rises, the morphological change of the alloy may form an air flow channel more conducive to heat dissipation, thereby accelerating the dissipation of heat; when the temperature drops, it may reduce the air flow to maintain an appropriate temperature.
