[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the cold plate cover 2 and the cold plate main body 1 are made of aluminum alloy with good thermal conductivity. The cold plate main body 1 and the cold plate cover 2 are connected together by welding. The cold plate cover 2 is in a serpentine shape and is a thin plate part; a cooling flow channel 11 (cooling medium flows inside, including fuel, water liquid, etc.) is provided in the middle of the cold plate main body 1, and its shape is also serpentine. The serpentine turning points are all rounded corners to reduce the flow resistance of the liquid oil or water in the cavity. A plurality of ribs 12 are provided in the cooling flow channel 11 of the cold plate main body 1. The mixing of the liquid between the sub-flow channels formed by the cooling flow channel 11 being divided by the ribs 12 balances the temperature of the liquid at each position, making the liquid temperature uniform. The ribs 12 provided at both ends of the cooling flow channel 11 contract inward to form two mixing chambers, and the liquid is in a turbulent flow state in the mixing chambers.

[0020] One side of the cold plate body 1 of the heat dissipation cold plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the shell-like components (such as controllers, drivers, etc.), and the heat of the controller is conducted to the cold plate body 1, and the heat of the cold plate body 1 is transferred to the cooling medium oil (or water) through the ribs 12 and the cooling channel 11, and then transferred to the outside through the cooling medium to achieve rapid heat dissipation of the shell-like components. Practical verification shows that the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation cold plate is better than that of the heat dissipation devices on the market, and the operation of the internal components is more stable and reliable, which greatly improves the thermal reliability, installation convenience and regularity of use of the equipment.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, an inlet and outlet interface is provided at the end of the cooling channel 11, which is internally threaded, and a copper sealing gasket 6 and an adapter 3 are installed thereon for external connection of the coolant. Both ends of the adapter 3 are external threads, and both are fine pitch threads. The middle is provided with a through hole. One end head located outside the adapter 3 is provided with a sealing conical surface for connecting with the spherical pipe joint of the external pipeline.

[0028] A silica gel protective sleeve 4 is provided outside the adapter 3 to protect the cooling channel 11 and prevent foreign objects from entering. When assembling the external pipeline, the silica gel protective sleeve 4 is removed.

The fastening bolts pass through the threaded holes 16 to connect with the external shell equipment; A light hole 17 is also opened on the lug 15. The fastening bolts pass through the light hole 17 to connect with the rubber vibration isolator 5. The rubber vibration isolator 5 installed effectively dampens the controller and other equipment and the heat dissipation cold plate.
