[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top",

[0031] The orientation or positional relationship indicated by "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0032] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "couple" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , an embodiment of the present application provides a wedge-shaped manifold microchannel radiator with micro-needle ribs, including an inlet layer cover plate 1, an outlet layer cover plate 2, a manifold layer substrate 3, and a microchannel layer substrate 4 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The inlet layer cover plate 1, the outlet layer cover plate 2, the manifold layer substrate 3, and the microchannel layer substrate 4 are all rectangular plates, and positioning holes 5 are provided at the four corners of the four rectangular plates to facilitate the installation and fixation of the manifold microchannel radiator.

[0035] An inlet layer liquid inlet channel is provided on the inlet layer cover plate 1. An outlet layer liquid inlet channel and an outlet layer liquid outlet channel are provided on the outlet layer cover plate 2. A manifold layer liquid inlet channel and a manifold layer liquid outlet channel are provided on the manifold layer substrate 3. Multiple rows of micro-needle ribs are provided on the microchannel layer substrate 4, and microchannels are formed between the micro-needle ribs. The inlet layer liquid inlet channel, the outlet layer liquid inlet channel, the manifold layer liquid inlet channel, and the microchannels are connected in sequence from top to bottom, and the microchannels, the manifold layer liquid outlet channel, and the outlet layer liquid outlet channel are connected in sequence from bottom to top.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the inlet layer liquid inlet channel includes a coolant inlet 11, an inlet liquid distribution tank 12, and an inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13 that are connected in sequence. Among them, the coolant inlet 11 is opened on the right side surface of the inlet layer cover plate 1. The inlet liquid distribution tank 12 and the inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13 are both opened on the lower surface of the inlet layer cover plate 1, and the groove depths are equal. The coolant inlet 11 is a round hole. The inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13 is a rectangular tank. The inlet liquid distribution tank 12 is a gradually expanding tank, the small end of which is adapted to the size of the coolant inlet 11, and the large end is adapted to the size of the inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13. In this way, the coolant enters the inlet liquid distribution tank 12 from the coolant inlet 11 and then is distributed in the inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13. The existence of the gradually expanding structure of the inlet liquid distribution tank 12 enables the coolant to be more evenly distributed in the inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the outlet layer liquid inlet channel is located directly below the inlet layer liquid inlet tank 13. The outlet layer liquid inlet channel includes a plurality of outlet layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 21 that penetrate the outlet layer cover plate 2 in the thickness direction. For example, four. The plurality of outlet layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 21 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the outlet layer cover plate 2, and the width of the flow cross-section of the outlet layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 21 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the coolant. That is, the inlet channel gradually narrows. In this way, by setting a plurality of outlet layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 21, the flow distribution through this layer can be made uniform. Compared with traditional microchannel radiators, it can effectively shorten the flow path, has the advantages of low pressure drop, small thermal resistance, and is not easy to block the channel.

[0038] Refer to Figure 6 , the manifold layer liquid inlet channel is located directly below the outlet layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channel 21. The manifold layer liquid inlet channel includes a plurality of manifold layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 31 that penetrate the manifold layer substrate 3 in the thickness direction. For example, four. The plurality of manifold layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 31 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the manifold layer substrate 3, and the width of the flow cross-section of the manifold layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 31 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the coolant. In this way, the flow cross-section from large to small in the flow direction can be further maintained. On the one hand, the flow distribution is made uniform, and on the other hand, the coolant can enter the liquid vertically, with the effect of micro-jet flow, avoiding the existence of flow dead zones.

[0039] Refer to Figure 7 , grooves 41 are opened on the microchannel layer substrate 4, and multiple rows of micro pin fins 42 are arranged in a rectangular array in the grooves 41. Microchannels 43 are formed between two adjacent rows of micro pin fins 42. The microchannels 43 are located directly below the manifold layer liquid inlet wedge-shaped channels 31 and the manifold layer liquid outlet wedge-shaped channels 32.

[0040] The microchannel layer substrate 4 is the main component for enhancing heat transfer. The presence of multiple rows of micro pin fins 42 can increase the contact area between the coolant and the solid material, thereby increasing the heat transfer area. This provides a large number of nucleation sites, helps to advance the boiling onset point, and significantly increases the critical heat flux density. In addition, the secondary channels between the multiple rows of micro pin fins 42 can also increase the flow cross-sectional area of the working fluid, provide development space for the two-phase working fluid, avoid gas blockage, and thus reduce the pressure drop. In this way, the microchannel layer substrate 4 can achieve higher heat transfer efficiency at a lower pressure drop.

[0041] Referring to Figure 6 , the manifold layer outlet channel is located directly above the microchannel 43. The manifold layer outlet channel includes a plurality of manifold layer outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 that penetrate the manifold layer substrate 3 in the thickness direction. The plurality of manifold layer outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 are also evenly distributed in the width direction of the manifold layer substrate 3, and the manifold layer outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 are arranged at intervals with the manifold layer inlet wedge-shaped channels 31. The width of the flow cross-section of the manifold layer outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 gradually increases along the flow direction of the coolant.

[0042] The manifold layer inlet wedge-shaped channels 31 and the manifold layer outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 form several microchannel heat dissipation units in the manifold microchannel radiator, effectively shortening the flow path, having the advantages of low pressure drop, small thermal resistance, and not easily blocking the channels. The flow rate is evenly distributed within each heat dissipation unit, having a substantially consistent convective heat transfer coefficient, which can ensure the temperature uniformity of the device to be cooled, avoid stress concentration of the device to be cooled caused by temperature difference, and cause device damage problems. The cooperation of the micro pin fins 42 and the microchannels 43 enables the fluid inside different heat dissipation units to communicate with each other, the flow velocity to remain relatively stable, and to be evenly distributed. At the same time, the presence of the micro pin fins 42 destroys the thermal boundary layer, increases the disturbance of the flow field, and improves the heat transfer performance.

[0043] The manifold layer substrate 3 can effectively isolate the upper coolant, avoiding the coolant collected in the outlet liquid collecting tank 23 from directly contacting the microchannel layer substrate 4, resulting in uneven temperature distribution on the microchannel layer substrate 4.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the outlet layer outlet channel includes an outlet layer outlet wedge-shaped groove group 22, an outlet liquid collecting tank 23, and a coolant outlet 24 that are connected in sequence. The outlet layer outlet wedge-shaped groove group 22 is opened on the lower surface of the outlet layer cover plate 2. The outlet liquid collecting tank 23 penetrates the outlet layer cover plate 2 in the thickness direction. The coolant outlet 24 is opened on the left side surface of the outlet layer cover plate 2.

[0045] The liquid outlet wedge-shaped groove group 22 of the outlet layer is located directly above the liquid outlet channel of the manifold layer. The liquid outlet wedge-shaped groove group 22 of the outlet layer includes a plurality of liquid outlet wedge-shaped grooves 25 of the outlet layer evenly distributed along the width direction of the outlet layer cover plate 2, for example, five. The liquid outlet wedge-shaped grooves 25 of the outlet layer are arranged at intervals from the liquid inlet wedge-shaped channel 21 of the outlet layer. The outlet liquid collecting tank 23 is a triangular channel, and the coolant outlet 24 is located at the vertex on the left side of the triangular channel. The liquid outlet wedge-shaped grooves 25 of the outlet layer are aligned with the liquid outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 of the manifold layer, providing a larger discharge channel for the two-phase coolant after heat exchange.

[0046] In addition, the liquid outlet wedge-shaped groove group 22 of the outlet layer and the liquid outlet wedge-shaped channels 32 of the manifold layer are designed as wedge-shaped structures. Since the liquid volume gradually decreases and the gas volume gradually increases in the wedge-shaped flow direction, and the outlet channel becomes wider along the flow direction, it can promote the transformation of the two-phase flow pattern, improve the fluid transportation efficiency and the steam discharge efficiency, and reduce the flow pressure drop while improving the heat exchange performance.

[0047] The inlet layer cover plate 1, the outlet layer cover plate 2, and the manifold layer substrate 3 can be made of non-metallic materials such as transparent acrylic. The microchannel layer substrate 4 is made of materials such as silicon nitride, silicon, copper, or aluminum. The inlet layer cover plate 1, the outlet layer cover plate 2, the manifold layer substrate 3, and the microchannel layer substrate 4 are tightly connected by bolts. It is applicable to general atmospheric pressure coolants.

[0048] The inlet layer cover plate 1, the outlet layer cover plate 2, the manifold layer substrate 3, and the microchannel layer substrate 4 are all made of metallic materials such as copper or aluminum and are welded by brazing. It is applicable to coolants with higher pressures.

[0049] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0050] The inlet layer liquid inlet groove 13 is aligned with the liquid inlet channel of the outlet layer. The coolant sequentially enters the inlet liquid distribution tank 12 and the inlet layer liquid inlet groove 13 from the coolant inlet 11 on the inlet layer cover plate 1, then enters the liquid inlet wedge-shaped channel 21 of the outlet layer and finally vertically enters the microchannel layer substrate 4 through the liquid inlet wedge-shaped channel 31 of the manifold layer. The manifold layer substrate 3 is closely attached to the microchannel layer substrate 4. After the coolant exchanges heat through the microchannel layer substrate 4, it vertically flows upward from the liquid outlet wedge-shaped channel 32 of the manifold layer into the liquid outlet wedge-shaped grooves 25 of the outlet layer, and flows out through the outlet liquid collecting tank 23 and the coolant outlet 24 in sequence. After experiencing the above process, one heat exchange cycle is completed.

[0051] In summary, the manifold microchannel radiator of the embodiment of the present application optimizes and improves the traditional microchannel radiator, and has the advantages of strong heat exchange ability, good flow uniformity, good temperature uniformity, and low pressure drop. In addition, the manifold microchannel radiator of the present application has a simple manufacturing process, easy-to-obtain materials, and can be commercially produced.

[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application shall be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
