Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of diamond heat sink manufacturing, in particular to a device and a method for manufacturing a large-area diamond heat sink. Background Art

[0002] A diamond heat sink is a heat dissipation element made from the high thermal conductivity of diamond. Diamond is one of the materials with the highest thermal conductivity in nature, far exceeding that of traditional metal heat dissipation materials such as copper and aluminum. For example, the room temperature thermal conductivity of natural single-crystal diamond can reach 22W / (cm·K), while the thermal conductivity of metallic copper is approximately 4W / (cm·K). Diamond also has excellent physical properties: diamond not only has high thermal conductivity, but also has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high hardness, high wear resistance, good chemical stability, and radiation resistance. Large-area diamond heat sinks are large-scale heat dissipation elements made from diamond material, featuring extremely high thermal conductivity and excellent heat dissipation performance. The design of large-area diamond heat sinks enables them to cover a larger heat dissipation area, thereby more effectively dissipating the heat generated by the equipment. This is particularly important in the heat dissipation of high-power density devices. In high-tech fields such as electronics, communications, new energy vehicles and aerospace, as the power density of equipment continues to increase, the requirements for heat dissipation materials are becoming increasingly stringent. Large-area diamond heat sinks have become ideal heat dissipation components in these fields due to their excellent thermal conductivity and physical properties. However, the manufacturing process of large-area diamond heat sinks is complex and requires high-precision equipment and processes to ensure product quality and performance. Diamond materials are extremely hard and difficult to shape through conventional processing methods. Traditional manufacturing methods often rely on manual operations or simple mechanical equipment, with low production efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale production. Traditional manufacturing methods have a low degree of automation and require a lot of manual intervention, which not only increases production costs, but also reduces production efficiency and product consistency.

[0013] A method for manufacturing a large-area diamond heat sink comprises the following steps:

[0014] S1. Diamond particles and metallic copper particles are stored in the feed box. Diamond particles and metallic copper particles are input into the ball mill through the spiral feed pipe. The ball mill grinds and mixes the particles. The ground powder is then discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the spiral discharge pipe. The powder enters one of the forming die seats below. After a suitable amount of powder is poured in, the spiral discharge pipe is closed. The output end of the No. 2 cylinder drives the rack to move. When the rack moves, the meshing gear rotates. When the gear rotates, the rotating support plate and the forming die seat are driven by the inner rotating rod. The two forming die seats are interchanged. The forming die seat filled with powder is rotated to the bottom of the cold pressing plate. Then, the other forming die seat is fed with powder through the discharge port.

[0016] S3. The cold-pressed large-area diamond heat sink is transferred to the sintering mold by the loading and unloading manipulator and placed. The bottom fixing plate and the sintering cover plate are driven downward by the output end of the No. 5 cylinder. The sintering cover plate seals the sintering mold. The large-area diamond heat sink is heated by the internal heating plate in the sintering mold. At the same time, protective gas is introduced through the air inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe extracts the exhaust gas. The formed green body is sintered at a high temperature to melt the metal powder and penetrate into the gaps between the diamond powder to form a dense composite material. After sintering is completed, the output end of the No. 5 cylinder drives the bottom fixing plate and the sintering cover plate to move upward. The movable slide of the No. 2 linear module drives the sintering mold to move, and the sintered diamond heat sink is moved to facilitate unloading.

[0017] S4. After cutting, the sintered diamond heat sink is processed by laser cutting and mechanical grinding to remove excess material, and to adjust the shape and size. The surface of the heat sink is polished to improve its smoothness and thermal conductivity. The surface of the diamond heat sink is copper-plated or nickel-plated as needed to improve its thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance or welding performance.

The surface of the diamond heat sink is copper-plated or nickel-plated as needed to improve its thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance or welding performance. The copper and nickel plating methods are physical vapor deposition.
