Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip heat dissipation, and particularly to a chip radiator structure. Background Art

[0002] In the context of the rapid development of microelectronics technology, while the chip integration degree is continuously improved and the size is getting smaller and smaller, the substantial increase in the core heat generation and the existence of stacked heat accumulation lead to a sharp increase in the heat flux density. The performance of the chip is very sensitive to the working temperature, and the thermal design of the chip has been increasingly emphasized. In order to ensure the stable operation of the chip and extend its service life, the heat dissipation technology plays a crucial role in the development of the chip.

[0003] Common chip radiators can be divided into various types according to the heat dissipation method, such as air cooling, heat pipe radiator, liquid cooling, semiconductor refrigeration, compression refrigeration, etc. Among them, liquid cooling is divided into phase change liquid cooling and non-phase change liquid cooling. Phase change liquid cooling has become the preferred heat dissipation method for high-heat-generation chips due to its compact radiator, good heat dissipation effect, and low noise.

[0004] However, due to the deficiencies in the structural design of general liquid cooling devices, the existing liquid cooling has limited heat dissipation effect and low heat transfer efficiency, and cannot continuously dissipate heat at high power, resulting in the defect that it is difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high heat flux density chips. Patent CN201510338846.0 discloses a chip radiator, including: a heat conducting body, a heat dissipating body, and heat dissipating fins. The heat conducting member includes a first heat conducting member and a second heat conducting member connected to the first heat conducting member. The first heat conducting member is used to contact the chip. The heat dissipating body is provided with a receiving cavity filled with a heat dissipating liquid. The heat conducting body is hermetically connected to the receiving cavity. The second heat conducting member is received in the receiving cavity and at least partially inserted into the heat dissipating liquid. The heat dissipating fins are disposed on the heat dissipating body. For the above chip radiator, a receiving cavity is provided in the heat dissipating body, and the second heat conducting body is at least partially inserted into the heat dissipating liquid. By using the fluidity of the liquid, the heat generated by the electronic components is quickly absorbed by the heat dissipating liquid through the heat conducting body, and is dispersed to the heat dissipating body through the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and then the heat is dissipated into the air through the heat dissipating fins by heat dissipation methods such as convection, radiation, and conduction, which is beneficial to the rapid transmission and dispersion of heat and improves the heat dissipation performance of the chip radiator. However, the performance of the heat dissipating liquid is limited, and in a long-term high-temperature environment, the sealing material may age or deform.

[0005] Therefore, designing a new type of efficient cooling and heat dissipation device is a common concern of those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a chip radiator structure to overcome the defects of low heat exchange efficiency, poor heat dissipation effect, and unstable operation of the existing chip radiator, so as to improve the heat exchange efficiency and heat dissipation effect of the chip radiator and ensure reliable and stable operation.

[0007] The present invention provides a chip radiator structure, including: a radiator joint, a radiator cover plate, and a radiator cold plate;

[0008] The radiator cold plate is provided with a cold plate cavity, and microstructural rib columns perpendicular to the bottom surface are arranged in the cold plate cavity to enhance heat exchange; the radiator cold plate forms a clearance fit structure with the groove on the bottom surface of the radiator cover plate through the cold plate positioning rib edges arranged around the cold plate cavity for quick positioning and installation; the radiator cold plate is pressed on the chip;

[0009] A cover plate through hole communicating with the radiator joint is arranged on the cover plate body of the radiator cover plate; the radiator cover plate forms a sealed connection with the radiator cold plate by welding or screwing and forms a heat exchange cavity with the cold plate cavity;

[0010] The radiator joint is connected to the radiator cover plate by welding or threaded connection to form a flow channel for the cooling medium to flow into the heat exchange cavity from one side radiator joint and discharge from the other side radiator joint.

[0011] Furthermore,

[0012] When the radiator joint is connected to the radiator cover plate by welding, the radiator joint is a customized joint structure, and the radiator joint includes: an inlet joint, a joint bottom surface, and a joint channel; the inlet joint is used to connect the external pipeline; the joint channel communicates with the cover plate through hole, and the cover plate through hole is a gradually expanding hole structure;

[0013] When the radiator joint is threadedly connected to the radiator cover plate, the cover plate through hole is a threaded hole.

[0014] Furthermore,

[0015] When the radiator cover plate is hermetically connected to the radiator cold plate by welding, a filler metal is filled between the second cover plate fitting surface of the radiator cover plate and the cold plate fitting surface of the radiator cold plate to achieve sealing and connection;

[0016] When the radiator cover plate is hermetically connected to the radiator cold plate by screws, a sealing gasket is arranged between the second cover plate fitting surface of the radiator cover plate and the cold plate fitting surface of the radiator cold plate to achieve sealing, and corresponding and evenly distributed screw holes are arranged on the periphery of the radiator cover plate and the radiator cold plate to achieve connection by screws.

[0017] Furthermore, the peripheral contour dimension of the planar projection of the cold plate positioning rib edge is smaller than the planar projection contour dimension of the groove on the bottom surface of the cover plate; the height dimension of the cold plate positioning rib edge is smaller than the depth dimension of the groove on the bottom surface of the cover plate;

[0018] A cavity transition structure and a cavity bottom surface are provided below the through hole of the cover plate in the cold plate cavity, so that the cooling working medium can flow smoothly and uniformly into the cold plate cavity.

[0019] Furthermore, the micro-structured rib columns are arranged above the cavity bottom surface, and the shapes of the micro-structured rib columns are one or more of a rectangular cross-section column, a rectangular cross-section cone, a rectangular cross-section frustum, a trapezoidal column, a trapezoidal cone, a trapezoidal frustum, a parallelogram column, a parallelogram cone, a parallelogram frustum, a triangular column, a triangular cone, a triangular frustum, a circular column, a circular cone, a circular frustum, an elliptical column, an elliptical cone, an elliptical frustum, a hemispherical shape or an umbrella shape; the arrangement of the micro-structured rib columns is a straight arrangement or a staggered arrangement. The rib columns in the straight arrangement are arranged parallel to the longitudinal or transverse direction of the radiator, which can effectively provide a large contact area, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency; the staggered arrangement of the rib columns can improve the disturbance of the fluid and promote the heat exchange between the liquid and the surface of the rib columns, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation performance.

[0020] When the shape feature of the micro-structured rib column is an umbrella shape, the umbrella structure is divided into a head structure and a root structure. The head structure and the root structure can be the same or different, and are each selected from one or more of a rectangular cross-section column, a trapezoidal column, a cone, a frustum, a parallelogram column, a triangular column, a circular column, an elliptical column, and an umbrella shape. The circumscribed centers of the horizontal projection contours of the root and the head of the umbrella structure can be coincident or misaligned according to design requirements; define R1 as the radius of the circumscribed circle of the horizontal projection contour of the root, and R2 as the radius of the circumscribed circle of the horizontal projection contour of the head. When the root and the head are misaligned, the misalignment distance is less than or equal to the sum of R1 and R2.

[0021] When the shape feature of the micro-structured rib column is an umbrella shape, the ratio of the circumscribed circle radius dimension of the root to the circumscribed circle radius dimension of the head is 0.1 to 10, and the height ratio of the root to the head can be adjusted to any value according to design requirements.

[0022] Furthermore, a bottom surface capillary structure is provided on the cavity bottom surface of the cold plate cavity; when the thickness of the bottom surface capillary structure is 0, the cavity bottom surface is a smooth metal surface.

[0023] Furthermore, a rib column capillary structure is provided on the micro-structured rib column, and the percentage of the thickness of the rib column capillary structure in the total thickness of the micro-structured rib column is 0% to 100%;

[0024] When the thickness ratio of the rib column capillary structure is 0%, the microstructured rib column is a completely solid rib column; when the thickness ratio of the rib column capillary structure is 100%, the microstructured rib column is composed of a completely porous capillary structure.

[0025] Furthermore, when the shape of the microstructured rib column is umbrella-shaped, an interstitial capillary structure is provided around the root of the microstructured rib column.

[0026] The bottom surface capillary structure, the rib column capillary structure, and the interstitial capillary structure are all porous capillary structures; the porous capillary structure is formed by one of metal powder sintering, metal wire sintering, or a mixture of metal powder and metal wire sintering, and the thickness in different positions or regions is adjusted differently according to design requirements.

[0027] Furthermore, the heat sink cold plate is provided with cold plate mounting holes and is pressed onto the chip through a connection structure;

[0028] The connection structure includes: a connection screw, a pre-tightening spring, and a connection nut. The pre-tightening spring is sleeved inside the connection screw. The connection screw passes through the cold plate mounting hole and the chip mounting surface, and the connection nut is screwed onto the end of the connection screw to achieve connection and fixation.

[0029] Furthermore, a thermal grease or liquid metal is filled between the contact surface of the heat sink cold plate and the chip. When the heat transfer medium is liquid metal, there is a protective design around the chip to prevent damage to the main board caused by liquid metal leakage.

[0030] Furthermore, the cooling medium is selected from one of deionized water, electronic fluorinated liquid, thermal oil, ammonia, or nanofluid.

[0031] The basic application principle of the present invention is: the low-temperature cooling medium enters the heat sink through the joint hole of a heat sink joint, smoothly flows into the heat exchange cavity provided with microstructured rib columns through the through holes of the cover plate and the concave cavity transition structure for efficient heat exchange, takes away the heat conducted from the chip to the heat sink cold plate, and is then discharged to the external pipeline through the heat sink joint on the other side.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0033] (1) Enhanced heat dissipation structure. The expanded part of the umbrella-shaped rib column structure of the present invention helps to enhance the turbulent effect of the fluid and improve the dispersion of bubbles. The rib columns create complex flow paths during the fluid flow process, making it difficult for bubbles to form large aggregates in the fluid, thereby reducing the detachment diameter of bubbles and increasing the detachment speed of bubbles.

[0034] (2) Improve the heat dissipation effect. The bottom surface of the cavity and the gaps between the microstructural rib columns of the present invention can be sintered with copper powder particles to form capillary structures. The capillary structures can significantly increase the internal surface area of the radiator and enhance the supply of liquid through the capillary effect, thereby strengthening the convective heat transfer.

[0035] (3) Optimize the fluid channel to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The design of the gradually expanding holes in the cover plate and the transition structure of the cavity of the present invention can help the fluid to transition smoothly to a larger channel, thereby reducing the resistance loss caused by the sudden acceleration or deceleration of the fluid; it also helps to reduce the amplitude of the velocity change when the fluid passes through the orifice. The uniform velocity distribution helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and enables the fluid to cover the internal surface of the radiator more evenly.

[0036] (4) Multiple seals, reliable and stable operation. When welding and connecting, the present invention realizes the rapid positioning and installation of the joint - cover plate and the cover plate - cold plate respectively through the grooves on the top surface and the bottom surface of the cover plate, providing guidance for the fitting and positioning during welding connection. Welding connection can distribute stress more evenly and at the same time provide good airtightness, which is very important for a heat dissipation system that needs to prevent the leakage of the cooling medium or the entry of air.
