DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0069] The present disclosure provides a heat dissipation component. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a heat dissipation assembly provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly includes at least two heat dissipating elements 1 and a connecting element 2. At least two heat dissipating elements 1 are connected to form a circulation channel 10, or at least two heat dissipating elements 1 are respectively provided with a circulation channel 10, and the connecting element 2 includes a connecting portion 20, and the connecting element 2 is respectively connected to the at least two heat dissipating elements 1 through the connecting portion 20. The circulation channel 10 is filled with a heat dissipation medium, and the connecting element 2 includes a flexible material, and the connecting element 2 is configured to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the hinge of the electronic device along the thickness direction.

[0070] In the heat dissipation assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, two heat dissipators 1 are used to form a circulation channel 10, and the circulation channel 10 is filled with a heat dissipation medium, so that the electronic device can be circulated and cooled. The connector 2 includes a flexible material, and the connector 2 is respectively connected to the two heat dissipators 1 through a connecting portion 20. The connector 2 is configured to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the electronic device hinge along the thickness direction. The connector 2 can be bent as the foldable electronic device is folded or flattened as the foldable electronic device is unfolded, so that the heat dissipation assembly can be set in at least two bodies of the foldable electronic device, increasing the coverage area of ​​the heat dissipation assembly, which is conducive to improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation assembly.

[0071] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes at least two heat sinks 1 and a connector 2, the two ends of the connector 2 are respectively connected to the at least two heat sinks 1, and the at least two heat sinks 1 are connected through the connector 2 to form a circulation channel 10, or at least two heat sinks 1 are respectively provided with a circulation channel 10. The circulation channel 10 is filled with a heat dissipation medium, and the heat dissipation medium can circulate in the circulation channel 10, thereby dissipating heat from the heating element in the electronic device. The heat dissipation medium is affected by the temperature of the heating element of the electronic device and is in a liquid and / or gaseous state in the circulation channel 10.

[0073] Alternatively, see Figure 1 At least two heat sinks 1 are respectively connected to the connecting member 2, so that at least two heat sinks 1 form a circulation channel through the connecting member 2.

[0074] For example, see Figure 1 The heat dissipation assembly includes two heat sinks 1 and two connectors 2, each connector 2 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and the connecting portion 20 is respectively located at the first end and the second end, and the two ends of one heat sink 1 are respectively connected to the first ends of the two connectors 2 through the connecting portion 20, and the two ends of another heat sink 1 are respectively connected to the second ends of the two connectors 2 through the connecting portion 20. The orthographic projections of the connector 2 and the hinge of the electronic device along the thickness direction at least partially overlap, and the connector 2 includes a flexible material, which can be bent as the foldable electronic device is folded or flattened as the foldable electronic device is unfolded, so that the heat dissipation assembly can be arranged in at least two bodies of the foldable electronic device, increasing the coverage area of ​​the heat dissipation assembly. The heat dissipation medium in the circulation channel 10 can exist in a gaseous form in a high temperature environment and in a liquid form in a low temperature environment, and can circulate in the circulation channel 10 to dissipate heat for the electronic device.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the connector 2 includes a flexible first shell 21, the first shell 21 is a hollow structure, the connecting parts 20 are arranged at opposite ends of the first shell 21, and the first shell 21 is connected to the heat sink 1 through the connecting parts 20. The hollow structure of the first shell 21 is used to connect two adjacent heat sinks 1, so as to connect the circulation channels 10 in the two adjacent heat sinks 1 to each other.

[0076] Alternatively, if Figure 1As shown, the connector 2 further includes a support portion 22, which is disposed in the hollow structure of the first shell 21 and connected to at least one inner wall of the first shell 21 along the thickness direction. Preferably, both ends of the support portion 22 are respectively connected to the inner walls of two opposite sides of the first shell 21 along the thickness direction. The support portion 22 is used to support the hollow structure inside the shell 21 to prevent the connector 2 from being deformed or collapsed.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the connector 2 further includes a liquid wick 23, which is located in the first shell 21 of the connector 2 and connected to at least one inner wall of the first shell 21 along the thickness direction. The liquid wick 23 is used to absorb the liquid heat dissipation medium in the connector 2, so that the heat dissipation medium can easily flow through the connector 2, and prevent the heat dissipation medium from gathering in the hollow structure of the connector 2 and blocking the circulation channel 10.

[0078] Alternatively, see Figure 1 The support portion 22 and the liquid absorbent core 23 are connected to the inner wall on the same side of the first shell 21, and one end of the support portion 22 passes through the liquid absorbent core 23. During the bending and deformation of the connecting member 2, the deformation degrees of the two opposite sides of the first shell 21 along the thickness direction are different. The support portion 22 and the liquid absorbent core 23 are connected to the inner wall on the same side of the first shell 21, which can reduce the mutual squeezing and friction between the support portion 22 and the liquid absorbent core 23, and avoid the support portion 22 and the liquid absorbent core 23 from being damaged during the multiple bending and deformation of the connecting member 2, which is conducive to improving the service life of the connecting member 2.

[0079] Exemplarily, the two ends of the support portion 22 are respectively connected to the inner walls on opposite sides of the thickness direction of the first shell 21, the wick 23 is respectively connected to the inner walls on opposite sides of the thickness direction of the first shell 21, and the two ends of the support portion 22 pass through the wick 23 respectively.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, at least one surface of at least a portion of the connector 2 along the thickness direction has a texture structure 24. Exemplarily, the texture structure 24 is located on a side of the first housing 21 away from the hinge of the electronic device, and the texture structure 24 can increase the surface area of ​​the first housing 21, adjust the surface shape of the first housing 21 when the connector 2 is bent and deformed, thereby improving the fatigue strength of the connector 2.

[0081] Optionally, the texture structure 24 includes a plurality of convex portions, and the plurality of convex portions extend along the rotation axis of the hinge. The extension directions of the plurality of convex portions are parallel to each other, for example, the plurality of convex portions may be strips extending along the rotation axis of the hinge. When the connector 2 is bent, the plurality of convex portions located on the surface of the first shell 21 away from the hinge can be close to each other, and the plurality of convex portions located on the surface of the first shell 21 close to the hinge can be away from each other, so as to improve the deformation range and bending fatigue strength of the shell 21.

[0082] And / or, the texture structure 24 includes a plurality of recesses, and the plurality of recesses extend along the rotation axis of the hinge. The plurality of recesses extend along the rotation axis of the hinge, for example, the plurality of recesses may be strips extending along the rotation axis of the hinge. When the connector 2 is bent, the width of the plurality of recesses on the surface of the first shell 21 away from the hinge decreases, and the width of the plurality of recesses on the surface of the first shell 21 close to the hinge increases, so as to improve the deformation range and bending fatigue strength of the shell 21.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the texture structure 24 in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the hinge is a corrugated shape, a fin shape, or a sawtooth shape.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the heat sink 1 includes a second shell 11, the second shell 11 is a hollow structure, and a communicating and enclosed space is provided in the first shell 21 and the second shell 11 to form a circulation channel 10. The first shell 21 and the second shell 11 are split structures, and the material of the second shell 11 is different from that of the first shell 21. For example, the material of the second shell 11 is metal or alloy material, such as copper, stainless steel and other materials with good thermal conductivity, and the material of the first shell 21 is rubber, plastic and other non-metallic flexible materials.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the second shell 11 is provided with a limiting portion 111, and the connecting portion 20 is connected to the limiting portion 111 of the second shell 11. Specifically, the connecting portion 20 and the limiting portion 111 are respectively annular, and are respectively connected to the ends of the first shell 21 and the second shell 11, the limiting portion 111 surrounds the outside of the connecting portion 20, and the connecting portion 20 is connected to the limiting portion 11. Specifically, the connecting portion 20 and the limiting portion 111 can be sealed and connected by welding or bonding.

Alternatively, the fastener 12 is a rubber sleeve, which is sleeved outside the gap where the connecting portion 20 and the limiting portion 111 are connected to seal the first housing 21 and the second housing 11.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Fig.10 As shown, the circulation channel 10 further includes a second connecting section 104, and the two ends of the second connecting section 104 are respectively connected to the air inlet end of the evaporation section 101 and the air outlet end of the condensation section 102.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Fig.10 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly further includes a baffle 106, which is located in the circulation channel 10 and between the evaporation section 101 and the condensation section 102.

Specifically, the compensation section 105 is located at one end of the second connecting section 104 close to the evaporation section 101, and the compensation section 105 is used to block the gaseous heat dissipation medium generated in the evaporation section 101, so that the gaseous heat dissipation medium can enter the condensation section 102 through the first connecting section 103, thereby preventing the heat dissipation medium from flowing back.
