Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft electronic heat dissipation, and particularly to an aircraft liquid cooling system. Background Art
[0002] The current aircraft guidance system has gradually developed from traditional mechanical scanning technology to active phased array technology, which brings severe heat dissipation problems. At present, the volume and weight of the guidance system have been greatly reduced, and it is developing towards miniaturization, lightweight, and functional integration. However, the heat generation power of microwave and electronic devices has increased sharply, and the heat flux density has doubled. The heat flux density reaches 50W / m 2 , which poses a great challenge to the thermal management design.
[0003] The space of the existing aircraft platform is compact, resulting in the aircraft being unable to provide sufficient space and heat sink. The increase in the integration of electronic devices leads to a concentrated heat generation position and an increase in thermal resistance. The faster flight speed results in significant aerodynamic heat and a rapid increase in the cabin temperature. The long startup time and high power consumption of electronic equipment lead to a significant temperature accumulation effect, an increase in heat flux density, and an increase in total heat generation. This poses higher requirements for the heat dissipation of the aircraft platform.
[0004] The existing aircraft platform generally adopts a passive heat dissipation method, using phase change materials to control the temperature rise of electronic devices. The problem is that the heat capacity of the phase change materials directly determines the startup time of the aircraft. A large amount of phase change materials occupy the internal volume and weight of the aircraft, and it is only suitable for platforms with short-term operation and low initial temperature, and the applicable range is limited. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a system that adopts an active heat dissipation method, which can simultaneously meet the requirements of small space occupied by the aircraft heat dissipation system on the aircraft platform, long continuous working time, small flow resistance under high heat flux density, and large heat dissipation area under the conditions of high heat transfer and low flow resistance, which is of great significance.

Detailed implementation manners
[0046] The following combines the accompanying drawings to specifically describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Among them, the accompanying drawings form a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the principle of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0047] The present invention provides an aircraft liquid - cooling system, including a cold - source device, a heat - source device, an energy storage device, and a circulation pump. The cold - source device, the heat - source device, the energy storage device, and the circulation pump are all connected in series through flexible pipelines with sealed joints at both ends to form a circulation loop; as Figure 1 shown.
[0048] The cold source device is a part of the aircraft skin, and its specific position can be flexibly selected according to the actual spatial structure of the aircraft; the area of the skin is 0.1 - 1 m 2 , and a skin flow channel is arranged therein, which is the cold source device of the aircraft liquid cooling system.
[0049] Preferably, if the length of the skin to be selected is L, its position is set at: the distance from the device to be cooled ≤ 2L. The flow channel flows through the skin through the inlet and outlet on the inner side of the cabin, and exchanges heat with the outside through the skin, so as to achieve the refrigeration effect.
[0050] The material of the cold source device is one of stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium alloy.
[0051] The heat source device is in direct contact with the heat-generating electronic device for heat conduction, and is cooled by the low-temperature fluid coming from the cold source device to ensure the stable operation of the electronic device; the material is one of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and red copper; the heat source device contains one of a honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel, a vein-like liquid cooling plate flow channel, or a spider-web-like liquid cooling plate flow channel.
[0052] The energy storage device is a metal bellows type energy storage device or a rubber airbag type energy storage device. The energy storage device mainly consists of a bellows assembly (including a liquid side head, a bellows, an end cover, and a guide ring), a cylinder body, a gas side head, an inflation valve, etc. The inner side of the bellows assembly is filled with an ethylene glycol aqueous solution working medium, and a certain amount of helium-nitrogen mixed gas is encapsulated on the gas side. When the liquid working medium in the fluid circuit contracts due to temperature reduction or decreases due to working medium leakage, under the action of the gas side pressure, the liquid side part of the energy storage device will be pressed into the fluid circuit to participate in the circulation of the fluid circuit; on the contrary, when the liquid working medium in the fluid circuit expands due to temperature increase, part of the liquid working medium is pressed back into the energy storage device, and the gas on the gas side is compressed. Thus, the purpose of effectively controlling the working pressure range of the fluid circuit is achieved, and the safe and stable operation of the fluid circuit is ensured.
[0053] As a pressure stabilizing element of the system, the energy storage device needs to provide the inlet pressure of the circulation pump on the one hand to ensure that the circulation pump works within the normal pressure range. Secondly, the energy storage device can absorb the pressure pulsation of the system, make the system operate smoothly, and avoid the system from generating vibration. On the other hand, when the system working conditions change, it compensates for the volume change of the system working medium caused by temperature change and maintains the pressure stability.
[0054] The circulation pump is a centrifugal pump or a gear pump, and is composed of a motor, an impeller, a compression nut, a volute, etc. The connection between the housing and the motor is statically sealed by two O-ring seals in the middle, removing the traditional shaft seal, reducing the number of seals, and improving the product life. The wet brushless DC motor is adopted. When working, the medium can enter the motor interior to cool the motor. The interior of the motor is sealed and isolated by a shielding cover, and the sealing performance can reach 1x10 -6 Pa·m2 / s.
[0055] The flexible pipeline is a layered structure, with a polytetrafluoroethylene inner layer and a stainless steel braid outer layer. Both ends of the pipeline are connected to the sealing joints through a swaging process, and the sealing structure is a plunger type or an end face sealing type.
[0056] Specifically, the honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel in the heat source device is as Figure 2 shown:
[0057] The honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel is arranged in a rectangular liquid cooling plate and includes a honeycomb-like flow channel network, a first collecting flow channel, a second collecting flow channel, parallel straight flow channels, a flow channel inlet, and a flow channel outlet;
[0058] The flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are symmetrically arranged at the centers of the left and right sides of the liquid cooling plate respectively. Among them, the flow channel inlet is arranged at the center of the right side of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the first collecting flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the center of the left side of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the second collecting flow channel;
[0059] The first collecting flow channel and the second collecting flow channel are respectively connected to N parallel straight flow channels, and the parallel straight flow channels are connected to the flow channel network forming the honeycomb;
[0060] Viewed from the overall structure, the liquid cooling plate flow channel is a rhombus-shaped honeycomb. The first collecting flow channel and the second collecting flow channel are respectively parallel and symmetrically arranged on the opposite sides of the rhombus. The first collecting flow channel is connected to the honeycomb-like flow channel network through N parallel straight flow channels, and the second collecting flow channel is connected to the honeycomb-like flow channel network through N parallel straight flow channels; the flow channel inlet is arranged at the middle position of the first collecting flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the middle position of the second collecting flow channel, and the axes of the flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are parallel and pass through the center of the rhombus.
[0061] The honeycomb-like flow channel network forms the main flow channel, which is axially symmetric as a whole and is composed of the arrangement of several regular hexagon-shaped micro flow channel units. Adjacent micro flow channel units share a common flow channel pipe, and each unit is interconnected through the common flow channel, forming a honeycomb-like shape as a whole.
[0062] Particularly, the lengths of the N parallel straight flow channels connecting the first collecting flow channel and the honeycomb-like flow channel network are equal to the side length of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb-like flow channel network. The lengths of the N parallel straight flow channels connecting the second collecting flow channel and the honeycomb-like flow channel network are also equal to the side length of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb-like flow channel network. And if the number of regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombus-shaped honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel is n, then the number N of the parallel straight flow channels connecting the first collecting flow channel or the second collecting flow channel and the honeycomb-like flow channel network is n + 1.
[0063] Regarding the setting of the length and quantity of the parallel straight channels, it can be understood that the first converging channel constitutes the set of adjacent two sides of multiple regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombus-shaped honeycomb liquid-cooling plate channel, and the channel width of the first converging channel is set to be much larger than the channel width of the regular hexagon in the honeycomb channel network; the second converging channel constitutes the set of adjacent two sides of multiple regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombus-shaped honeycomb liquid-cooling plate channel, and the channel width of the second converging channel is set to be much larger than the channel width of the regular hexagon in the honeycomb channel network. When the medium flows into the first converging channel from the channel inlet, it can uniformly and stably fill each channel of the honeycomb channel network and uniformly and stably converge into the second converging channel. When the liquid-cooling plate channel satisfies the above structure, when the medium flows into the liquid-cooling plate channel from the channel inlet, the medium can traverse the entire liquid-cooling plate with a relatively small flow resistance along with the honeycomb channel network, and at the same time, the temperature distribution of the liquid-cooling plate can be made uniform.
[0064] It should be noted that along the direction away from the channel inlet, the number of regular hexagons in the next vertical-level regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit connected to N parallel straight channels is N, and the number of regular hexagons in the next vertical-level regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit is N + 1. The number of regular hexagons in each vertical-level hexagonal micro-channel unit increases by one level by level until the distance between a certain vertical-level regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit and the upper and lower sides of the liquid-cooling plate ≤ 4 mm, then the increase in the number of regular hexagons in the vertical regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit stops, and then the number of regular hexagons in the next vertical-level regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit decreases level by level until the number of regular hexagons in the last vertical-level regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit is N, ensuring that the overall honeycomb channel network is axisymmetric and covers the entire liquid-cooling plate; preferably, N > 5. This honeycomb channel network structure ensures that when the medium flows into the first converging channel from the channel inlet, it will not flow away quickly in one channel. When the entire channel is filled with the medium after a period of time, the fluid inflow and outflow reach equilibrium, and the medium in the liquid-cooling plate fills the entire channel at any time and flows in each channel.
[0065] For the channels in the parallel straight channels and the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel units in the honeycomb channel network, the channel width is W1, the channel height is H1, and the channel spacing is K1, satisfying 1.5 * W1 ≤ K1 ≤ 3 * W1. Meeting this condition for the channel spacing can improve the heat dissipation effect of the liquid-cooling plate and balance the convective heat transfer amount and heat conduction amount of the liquid-cooling plate.
[0066] The equivalent diameters of the channel inlet and the channel outlet are the same, satisfying D1 ≥ N * W1. Meeting this condition for the diameters of the channel inlet and the channel outlet can ensure sufficient flow supply of the medium at the channel inlet and outlet.
[0067] The first converging channel and the second converging channel are rectangular, with equal widths, both being W2, and W2 = 1.5N * W1. Meeting this condition can further ensure that the resistance of the medium flowing into the above-mentioned converging channel is smaller and the flow rate is larger compared to the flow channels of the honeycomb-shaped flow channel network, and the medium flows uniformly and stably in the flow channel network.
[0068] Specifically, the leaf vein-like liquid cooling plate flow channel in the heat source device is as Figure 3 shown:
[0069] The leaf vein-like liquid cooling plate flow channel is arranged in a rectangular liquid cooling plate, and includes a leaf vein-like flow channel network, a main flow channel, a converging channel, a flow channel inlet and a flow channel outlet;
[0070] The flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are symmetrically arranged at the centers of the left and right side edges of the liquid cooling plate respectively. Among them, the flow channel inlet is arranged at the center of the right side edge of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the main flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the center of the left side plate of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the converging channel;
[0071] The main flow channel is arranged at the middle position of the rectangular liquid cooling plate and is connected to the flow channel network forming the leaf veins. The main flow channel is indirectly connected to the converging channel through the leaf vein-like flow channel network; the whole leaf vein-like flow channel network is composed of M micro-channel units arranged in a zigzag shape and is symmetrically distributed up and down on both sides of the main flow channel; among them, the zigzag-shaped micro-channel units on the same side of the main flow channel are separated from each other by partitions, and the zigzag-shaped micro-channel units on the same side of the main flow channel are parallel to each other;
[0072] The zigzag-shaped micro-channel unit includes an adjacent straight flow channel part and an inclined flow channel part. The straight flow channel parts are parallel to each other, the inclined flow channel parts are parallel to each other, and the outlet ends of the straight flow channel parts are flush and are connected to the converging channel at the outlet end.
[0073] The included angle ɑ1 between the main flow channel and the inclined flow channel part of the zigzag-shaped micro-channel unit on the same side of the main flow channel satisfies 30° ≤ ɑ1 ≤ 60°;
[0074] The main flow channel and the converging channel are perpendicular to each other, and the axis of the main flow channel coincides with the axes of the flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet; the longitudinal section of the main flow channel is rectangular, and the transverse section of the converging channel is rectangular.
[0075] It should be noted that the length of the main runner is half of the distance between the runner inlet and the runner outlet, that is, along the direction from the runner inlet to the runner outlet, the main runner extends from the runner inlet to the center of the entire cold plate runner. Along the direction from the runner inlet to the runner outlet, the inclined runners of the micro-channel units with a broken-line shape are arranged in parallel in sequence, extending along the direction away from the main runner. The extension ends of the inclined runners arranged in parallel on the same side are collinear, and the angle ɑ1 between the extension ends and the axis of the cold plate runner, that is, the angle between the main runner and the inclined runner part of the micro-channel unit with a broken-line shape on the same side of the main runner, satisfies 30°≤ɑ1≤60°; the straight-channel part of the micro-channel unit with a broken-line shape extends along the direction from the runner inlet to the runner outlet from the extension end of the inclined runner.
[0076] Among them, along the direction from the runner inlet to the runner outlet, the end wall surface of the main runner is conical, and the cone angle is β1 = 2ɑ1. Such a structural design is beneficial to the diversion of the main runner here, avoiding the generation of vortices and separated flows that cause an increase in flow resistance.
[0077] Preferably, M > 5; this vein-like flow channel network structure ensures that when the medium flows into the main runner from the runner inlet, it will not flow away quickly in one flow channel, but flow along the main runner to the left. During this period, the medium is successively distributed into the micro-channel units with a broken-line shape on both sides of the main runner. The medium entering the micro-channel units with a broken-line shape converges in the converging channels and then flows out from the runner outlet. When the entire flow channel is filled with the medium for a period of time, the fluid inflow and outflow reach equilibrium, and the medium in the liquid cooling plate fills the entire channel at any time and flows in each channel.
[0078] In the flow channels in the micro-channel units with a broken-line shape in the vein-like flow channel network, the cross-section facing the runner inlet direction is rectangular, the flow channel width is W3, the flow channel height is H2, and the flow channel spacing is K2, satisfying 1.5*W3≤K2≤3*W3, in mm. Meeting this condition for the flow channel spacing can improve the heat dissipation effect of the liquid cooling plate and make the convective heat transfer amount and heat conduction amount of the liquid cooling plate balanced.
[0079] The width of the main runner is W4, the length is L1, the width of the converging channel is W5, the length is L2, and the equivalent diameter of the runner inlet and the runner outlet is D2, satisfying W4 = W5 = D2≥M*W3, L2 = M*W3+(M - 1)*K2, and L1 is half of the distance between the runner inlet and the runner outlet; meeting this condition for the dimensions of the main runner and the converging channel and the equivalent diameter of the runner inlet and the runner outlet can ensure sufficient flow supply at the runner inlet and outlet and balanced flow distribution in the vein-like flow channel network.
[0080] Specifically, the spider-web-like liquid cooling plate runner in the heat source device is as Figure 4 shown:
[0081] The cobweb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel is arranged in a rectangular liquid cooling plate and includes a first flow channel unit, a second flow channel unit, a main flow channel, a flow channel inlet, and a flow channel outlet;
[0082] The flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are symmetrically arranged at the centers of the left and right side edges of the liquid cooling plate respectively. Among them, the flow channel inlet is arranged at the center of the right side edge of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the main flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the center of the left side plate of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the main flow channel;
[0083] The longitudinal section of the main flow channel is rectangular and is arranged at the middle position of the rectangular liquid cooling plate and is respectively connected to the first flow channel unit and the second flow channel unit;
[0084] The second flow channel unit and the first flow channel unit have the same structure and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main flow channel, jointly forming a cobweb-like flow channel network; along the direction from the flow channel inlet to the flow channel outlet, the main flow channel has a constant diameter.
[0085] The main flow channel includes: an inlet-end main flow channel and an outlet-end main flow channel. The inlet-end main flow channel is connected to the outlet-end main flow channel through isosceles trapezoid-shaped first flow channel units and second flow channel units;
[0086] The inlet-end main flow channel and the outlet-end main flow channel are coaxially arranged, and a flow-around structure is arranged at the axis center position from the flow channel inlet to the flow channel outlet. Part of the outer surface of the flow-around structure forms an innermost layer of isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channels with the innermost layer of the first flow channel unit and the second flow channel unit;
[0087] The first flow channel unit is isosceles trapezoid-shaped and includes P isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channels distributed layer by layer. The P isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channels distributed layer by layer are parallel to each other; along the direction of the main flow channel, the sizes of the isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channels distributed layer by layer decrease in an arithmetic progression step by step; each isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channel includes two oblique linear micro-channels and one horizontal linear micro-channel. The two oblique linear micro-channels are connected to the main flow channel, and the included angle ɑ2 between them and the main flow channel satisfies 30° ≤ ɑ2 ≤ 60°;
[0088] Along the axis direction, the end wall surface of the flow-around structure is conical, and the cone angle is β2 = 2ɑ2. Such a structural design is beneficial to the diversion of the inlet-end main flow channel and the outlet-end main flow channel, avoiding the generation of vortices and separated flows that cause an increase in flow resistance.
[0089] The cross-section of the isosceles trapezoid-shaped micro-channel facing the flow channel inlet direction is rectangular, the flow channel width is W6, the flow channel height is H3, and the flow channel spacing is K3, satisfying 1.5 * W6 ≤ K3 ≤ 3 * W6, in mm. Meeting this condition for the flow channel spacing can improve the heat dissipation effect of the liquid cooling plate and make the convective heat transfer amount and heat conduction amount of the liquid cooling plate achieve balance.
[0090] The width of the main runner is W7, and the equivalent diameters D3 of the runner inlet and the runner outlet satisfy W7 = D3 ≥ P * W6; the length of the main runner is the same as the length of the liquid cooling plate; the dimensions of the main runner and the equivalent diameters of the runner inlet and the runner outlet meet this condition, which can ensure sufficient flow supply at the runner inlet and outlet and balanced flow distribution in the spider-web-like runner network.
[0091] Preferably, P > 12; this spider-web-like runner network structure ensures that when the medium flows into the main runner from the runner inlet, it will not flow away quickly in one runner, but flow upward and downward along the main runner. During this period, the medium is successively distributed into the isosceles trapezoidal micro-runners on both sides of the main runner. The medium entering the isosceles trapezoidal micro-runners converges again in the main runner and then flows out from the runner outlet. When the entire runner is filled with the medium after a period of time, the fluid inflow and outflow reach equilibrium, and the medium in the liquid cooling plate fills the entire channel at any time and flows in each channel.
[0092] When the liquid cooling system of the present invention is used for heat dissipation of an aircraft, the circulation pump provides power to drive the working medium to circulate at a certain flow rate. At the heat source device (i.e., the internal liquid cooling plate of the aircraft containing the vein-like liquid cooling plate runner or the honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate runner), the heating device transfers heat to the liquid cooling plate through heat conduction. The working medium inside the liquid cooling plate takes away the heat and flows to the cold source device. The skin runner in the cold source device flows through the skin through the inlets and outlets on the inner side of the cabin, and exchanges heat with the outside through the skin, and the ram air outside the skin takes it away, thus achieving the refrigeration effect.
[0093] Under the condition of occupying a relatively small space in the aircraft platform cabin, the working duration of the electronic devices of the liquid cooling system of the present invention is not restricted by the aircraft platform; it realizes the application requirements of the aircraft liquid cooling system for small occupied space of the aircraft platform, long continuous working time, small flow resistance, and large heat dissipation area when working under high heat flux density; for the liquid cooling system of the aircraft of the present invention, when applied to the heating device with a heat flux density of 50 W / cm 2 the flow resistance ≤ 1000 Pa, the heat dissipation area ≥ 25000 mm 2 , and the maximum temperature of the heat source ≤ 105 °C.
[0094] The aircraft liquid cooling system of the present invention is applicable to the heat dissipation structures of all ground, vehicle-mounted, shipborne, missile-borne, satellite-borne, and airborne platforms using single-phase liquid cooling circulation systems; applicable to heat exchanger systems in various military and civilian application scenarios; applicable to various industries involving the flow of liquid working media such as aerospace, architecture, environmental control, petroleum, and chemical industries.

[0096] The aircraft liquid cooling system of this embodiment includes a cold source device, a heat source device, a storage device, and a circulation pump. The cold source device, the heat source device, the storage device, and the circulation pump are sequentially connected in series through flexible pipelines with sealed joints at both ends to form a circulation loop; as Figure 1 shown.
[0097] The cold source device is a part of the aircraft skin, and the area of the skin is 0.5 m 2 . A skin flow channel is arranged therein, which is the cold source device of the aircraft liquid cooling system. The length of the selected skin is 1 m, and its position is set at: the distance from the device to be cooled ≤ 2 m. The material is titanium alloy.
[0098] The heat source device is in direct contact with the heat-generating electronic device for heat conduction, and is cooled by the low-temperature fluid coming from the cold source device to ensure the stable operation of the electronic device; the material is aluminum alloy; the heat source device is an internal liquid cooling plate of the aircraft with a honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel. The honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel is arranged in a rectangular liquid cooling plate, as Figure 2 shown, and includes a honeycomb-like flow channel network, a first collecting flow channel, a second collecting flow channel, parallel straight flow channels, a flow channel inlet, and a flow channel outlet;
[0099] The flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are symmetrically arranged at the centers of the left and right sides of the liquid cooling plate respectively. Among them, the flow channel inlet is arranged at the center of the right side of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the first collecting flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the center of the left side plate of the liquid cooling plate and is connected to the second collecting flow channel;
[0100] The first collecting flow channel and the second collecting flow channel are respectively connected to 6 parallel straight flow channels, and the parallel straight flow channels are connected to the flow channel network forming a honeycomb;
[0101] From the overall structure, the liquid cooling plate flow channel is a rhombus-shaped honeycomb. The first collecting flow channel and the second collecting flow channel are respectively parallel and symmetrically arranged on the opposite sides of the rhombus. The first collecting flow channel is connected to the honeycomb-like flow channel network through 6 parallel straight flow channels, and the second collecting flow channel is connected to the honeycomb-like flow channel network through 6 parallel straight flow channels; the flow channel inlet is arranged at the middle position of the first collecting flow channel; the flow channel outlet is arranged at the middle position of the second collecting flow channel, and the axes of the flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are parallel and pass through the center of the rhombus.
[0102] The honeycomb-like flow channel network constitutes the main flow channel, which is axially symmetric as a whole and is composed of 61 regular hexagonal micro-flow channel units arranged. Adjacent micro-flow channel units share a common flow channel pipe, and each unit is interconnected through the common flow channel, forming a honeycomb-like shape as a whole.
[0103] Specifically, the lengths of the six parallel straight channels connecting the first collecting channel and the honeycomb channel network are equal to the side length of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb channel network. The lengths of the six parallel straight channels connecting the second collecting channel and the honeycomb channel network are also equal to the side length of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb channel network. And if the number n of regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombic honeycomb liquid cooling plate channel is 5, then the number N of parallel straight channels connecting the first collecting channel or the second collecting channel and the honeycomb channel network is n + 1, that is, N is 6.
[0104] The overall honeycomb channel network is axisymmetric and is composed of 61 regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel units arranged. Adjacent micro-channel units share a common channel tube, and each unit is interconnected through the common channel, forming a honeycomb-like shape as a whole.
[0105] The first collecting channel constitutes the set of adjacent two sides of the 5 regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombic honeycomb liquid cooling plate channel, and the channel width of the first collecting channel is set to be much larger than the channel width of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb channel network; the second collecting channel constitutes the set of adjacent two sides of the 5 regular hexagons on a single side of the rhombic honeycomb liquid cooling plate channel, and the channel width of the second collecting channel is set to be much larger than the channel width of the regular hexagon of the honeycomb channel network
[0106] It should be noted that along the direction away from the channel inlet, the number of regular hexagons in the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit of the next vertical layer connected to the six parallel straight channels is 6, and the number of regular hexagons in the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit of the next vertical layer is 7. The number of regular hexagons in each vertical layer of the hexagonal micro-channel unit increases by one level by level until the distance between a certain vertical layer of the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit and the upper and lower sides of the liquid cooling plate ≤ 4 mm, then the increase in the number of regular hexagons in the vertical regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit stops, and then the number of regular hexagons in the next vertical layer of the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit decreases level by level until the number of regular hexagons in the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel unit of the last vertical layer is 6, ensuring that the overall honeycomb channel network is axisymmetric and covers the entire liquid cooling plate;
[0107] For the channels in the parallel straight channels and the regular hexagon-shaped micro-channel units of the honeycomb channel network, the channel width is W1 = 1 mm, the channel height is H1 = 1 mm, and the channel spacing is K1 = 3 mm, satisfying 1.5 * W1 ≤ K1 ≤ 3 * W1.
[0108] The equivalent diameters of the channel inlet and the channel outlet are the same, D1 = 6 mm, satisfying D1 ≥ N * W1.
[0109] The first collecting channel and the second collecting channel are rectangular, and their width is W2 = 9 mm, and W2 satisfies W2 = 1.5N * W1.
[0110] The energy accumulator is a metal bellows type energy accumulator.
[0111] The circulation pump is a gear pump, which is composed of a motor, an impeller, a compression nut, a volute casing, etc.
[0112] The inner layer of the flexible pipeline is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the outer layer is stainless steel braiding. Special sealing joints are connected at both ends of the pipeline using a swaging process, and the sealing structure is an end face sealing type.

It can be seen from the figure that the flow resistance obtained from the simulation calculation of the honeycomb-like liquid cooling plate flow channel in this embodiment is 844.92 Pa.

[0115] Embodiment 2
[0116] The liquid cooling system of the aircraft in this embodiment has a structure similar to that of Embodiment 1.

The longitudinal section of the main channel is rectangular, and the transverse section of the converging channel is rectangular.
[0124] It should be noted that the length of the main channel is half of the distance between the channel inlet and the channel outlet. That is, along the direction from the channel inlet to the channel outlet, the main channel extends from the channel inlet to the center of the entire cold plate channel. Along the direction from the channel inlet to the channel outlet, the inclined channels of the microchannel units with a broken-line shape are arranged in parallel in sequence, extending in the direction away from the main channel. The extension endpoints of the inclined channels arranged in parallel on the same side are collinear, and the included angle with the axis of the cold plate channel, that is, the included angle ɑ1 between the main channel and the inclined-channel part of the microchannel unit with a broken-line shape on the same side of the main channel, is 50°; the straight-channel part of the microchannel unit with a broken-line shape extends along the direction from the channel inlet to the channel outlet from the extension endpoint of the inclined channel.
