Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of heat dissipation technology, and more particularly to a liquid-cooled server heat dissipation water cooling plate and a production method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In today's era of continuous improvement in electronic device performance and the rapid development of high-density servers, the heat generated by these devices has become a key factor affecting their performance, stability, and lifespan. While traditional air cooling technology has addressed this issue to some extent, it is gradually becoming increasingly limited as chip thermal design power (TDP) continues to rise and devices pursue miniaturization and high performance. Liquid cooling, however, is becoming increasingly mainstream due to its advantages of high heat dissipation efficiency and low energy consumption, finding widespread application in numerous fields, including data centers, new energy, and 5G communications.
[0003] As a key branch of liquid cooling, water cooling offers exceptional heat dissipation, leveraging the fact that liquid dissipates heat much faster than air. A complete water cooling system typically consists of a water block, circulating fluid, a water pump, piping, and a water tank or heat exchanger. The water cooling plate (also known as a liquid cooling plate), a core component, plays a crucial role in the entire cooling system, absorbing heat from key heat-generating components such as the CPU, northbridge, and graphics card.
[0004] Although water-cooled heat dissipation technology has made significant progress, there are still some problems with water-cooled plates in the existing technology. Traditional water-cooled plates mostly adopt a single-path circulation design, such as a U-shaped or S-shaped flow channel, which makes the liquid flow in the inner cavity of the water-cooled plate not smooth enough. The liquid that has completed heat transfer fails to be discharged in time, while the liquid that has not fully transferred heat is sent out too early. This greatly affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled plate. In high-load scenarios, there are problems such as uneven heat dissipation and low cooling capacity utilization. For example, the patent network discloses a multi-channel water-cooled plate with authorization number CN205546395U. The plate body is composed of at least two pipes. The pipes are bent one by one according to the shape of the flow channel, and then combined side by side to form a plate body. The bending part of the structure is U-shaped. Although a plurality of pipe combinations are used to disperse the coolant, the overall flow channel is mainly a straight line, resulting in the coolant staying in the water-cooled plate for too short a time, and the coolant cannot completely absorb enough heat from the heating component. Technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to obtain a water-cooled plate with excellent heat dissipation performance, the present invention proposes a liquid-cooled server heat dissipation water-cooled plate, which divides the water flow channel into multiple sub-flow channels so that the coolant entering the water-cooled plate body can be evenly diverted. This diversion design greatly increases the contact area between the coolant and the inner wall of the water-cooled plate, allowing the coolant to more fully absorb the heat transferred from the equipment to the water-cooled plate.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] The cross section of the slow flow cavity is rectangular, and the coolant passes through the slow flow cavity to reduce the inlet flow velocity, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the coolant pressure;
[0009] The cooling liquid is diverted to the multi-stage sub-flow channels through at least one diversion in the diversion channel;
[0010] The multi-stage sub-flow channel includes at least two sub-flow channels;

[0019] The coolant is divided three times and four times in the two diversion and pressure-stabilizing passages respectively. The third diversion section includes the first diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage. The third diversion section achieves three diversions.

[0026] As a further improved technical solution of the present application, the cross-sectional area of the confluence cavity is 1.1 times the sum of the cross-sectional areas of all sub-channels of the multi-stage sub-channels.
[0027] As a further improved technical solution of the present application, the water inlet and the water outlet are connected by a quick-insert connector or a threaded interface.
[0028] On the other hand, the present application provides a method for producing a liquid cooling server heat dissipation water cooling plate, the method comprising the following steps:
[0029] Step 1: Select appropriate materials according to the requirements of the water-cooling plate, cut the selected materials, and then perform surface treatment on the water-cooling plate materials to obtain two symmetrical original plates;

[0031] The cross section of the slow flow cavity is rectangular, and the coolant passes through the slow flow cavity to reduce the inlet flow velocity, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the coolant pressure;
[0032] The cooling liquid is diverted to the multi-stage sub-flow channels through at least one diversion in the diversion channel;
[0033] The multi-stage sub-flow channel includes at least two sub-flow channels;
[0034] The cross section of the confluence cavity is trapezoidal, and collects the coolant in the multi-stage sub-flow channels;
[0035] The bell-shaped guide cone guides the coolant smoothly from the confluence cavity to the water outlet;
[0036] Then, a closed water flow channel is naturally formed by brazing to obtain the water cooling plate body;
[0037] Step 3: Install a water inlet and a water outlet on one side of the water-cooled plate body, one end of the slow flow chamber is connected to the water inlet, and the other end of the slow flow chamber is connected to the diversion passage, and the diversion passage is connected to the inlet of the multi-stage sub-channel to divert the coolant to the multi-stage sub-channel, the outlet of the multi-stage sub-channel is connected to one end of the confluence chamber, the other end of the confluence chamber is connected to one end of the trumpet-shaped guide cone, and the other end of the trumpet-shaped guide cone is connected to the water outlet.
[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0039] The present application provides a liquid-cooled server heat dissipation water-cooling plate with efficient diversion and increased heat exchange area: a diversion channel is set in the water flow channel, and the water flow channel is divided into a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel, a third sub-channel, and a fourth sub-channel through the primary and secondary diversion of the diversion channel, so that the coolant entering the water-cooling plate body can be evenly diverted. This diversion design greatly increases the contact area between the coolant and the inner wall of the water-cooling plate, allowing the coolant to more fully absorb the heat transferred from the equipment to the water-cooling plate, significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the electronic equipment, and ensuring its stable and efficient operation.
[0040] The presence of the first and second flow-rate stabilization paths, enabling three-way and four-way flow diversion, ensures that the coolant flows at a stable speed and pressure within each sub-channel. This avoids uneven localized cooling caused by fluctuations in flow velocity and pressure, allowing the cold plate to maintain stable heat dissipation performance over extended periods of operation, extending the lifespan of electronic equipment and reducing the risk of equipment failure due to unstable heat dissipation.
[0041] The S-shaped flow channel creates a turbulent mixing state during the coolant flow, disrupting the coolant's laminar flow and generating intense convection and disturbance within the coolant. This turbulent mixing accelerates heat transfer, allowing the coolant and hot fluids in the coolant to fully mix, further improving heat exchange efficiency. Compared to traditional linear flow channels, this allows the cold plate to achieve more efficient heat dissipation at the same volume and coolant flow rate.
[0042] The multi-stage sub-channels consist of four sub-channels, which work in conjunction with different functional pathways to create a scientifically sound heat dissipation path. After entering the water inlet, the coolant undergoes a series of processes, including diversion, pressure and speed stabilization, and turbulent mixing. After completing sufficient heat exchange within the water-cooling plate, it is discharged from the water outlet. This entire process is smooth and efficient, significantly improving the overall heat dissipation performance of the water-cooling plate, meeting the stringent requirements of modern equipment for efficient heat dissipation, and providing strong support for the miniaturization and high-performance design of equipment.

The following describes an embodiment of this application based on its overall structure.
[0053] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.
[0054] See Figure 1-3 , a liquid-cooled server heat dissipation water cold plate, comprising: a water cold plate body 100, a water flow channel 200 is provided inside the water cold plate body 100, a water inlet 300 and a water outlet 400 are provided on one side of the water cold plate body 100, and a slow flow chamber 210, a diversion channel 220, a multi-stage sub-channel 230, a confluence chamber 240, and a trumpet-shaped guide cone 240 are provided in the water flow channel 200; the slow flow chamber 210 has a rectangular cross section, and the coolant reduces the inlet flow velocity through the slow flow chamber 210 to achieve uniform distribution of the coolant pressure; the coolant is diverted to the multi-stage sub-channel 230 through at least one diversion in the diversion channel 220; the multi-stage sub-channel 230 includes at least two sub-channels; the confluence chamber 240 has a trapezoidal cross section, which collects the coolant in the multi-stage sub-channel 230; the trumpet-shaped guide cone 250 smoothly guides the coolant from the confluence chamber 240 to the water outlet 400.
[0055] One end of the slow flow chamber 210 is connected to the water inlet 300, and the other end of the slow flow chamber 210 is connected to the diversion channel 220. The diversion channel 220 is connected to the inlet of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 to divert the coolant to the multi-stage sub-channel 230. The outlet of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 is connected to one end of the confluence chamber 240, and the other end of the confluence chamber 240 is connected to one end of the trumpet-shaped guide cone 250. The other end of the trumpet-shaped guide cone 250 is connected to the water outlet 400.
[0056] In this embodiment, the water-cooling plate body 100 is made of a metal material with excellent thermal conductivity, such as pure copper, aluminum alloy, or a copper-aluminum composite. It is a flat plate that easily adheres to the surface of a heating device or heat exchanger. The water-cooling plate body 100 comprises an upper plate and a lower plate, brazed together to form a closed water flow channel 200.
[0057] In the diversion passage 220 provided in the water flow channel 200, the coolant first passes through the slow flow chamber 210 to buffer the coolant pressure after entering from the water inlet 300, and then the water flow channel is divided into multiple branches through the primary and secondary diversion of the diversion passage 220. In this embodiment, the coolant passing through the separation passage 220 is divided into at least two branches, so that the coolant entering the water-cooled plate body 100 can be evenly diverted. This diversion design greatly increases the contact area between the coolant and the inner wall of the water-cooled plate, so that the coolant can more fully absorb the heat transferred from the equipment to the water-cooled plate, significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the electronic equipment, and ensuring its stable and efficient operation.
[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled plate, the diversion path includes a T-shaped diversion path 221 and a Y-shaped diversion path 222. The water inlet 300 is connected to the T-shaped diversion path 221 for equal diversion, and then the two Y-shaped diversion paths 222 are connected in parallel to the two outlet ends of the T-shaped diversion path 221 for further diversion; the multi-stage sub-channel 230 includes a first sub-channel 231, a second sub-channel 232, a third sub-channel 233, and a fourth sub-channel 234.
[0059] The coolant is diverted to the multi-stage sub-channel 230 through two diversions in the diversion channel 220. The first diversion section includes a T-shaped diversion channel 221. The first diversion section realizes a first diversion. The first diversion makes the coolant evenly diverted into two parallel branches at the T-shaped diversion channel 221 after flowing out of the slow flow chamber 210. The second diversion section includes a Y-shaped diversion channel 222. The second diversion section realizes a second diversion. The second diversion makes the coolant evenly diverted into four parallel branches again at the Y-shaped diversion channel 222 after flowing out of the T-shaped diversion channel 221. The four parallel branches enter the first sub-channel 231, the second sub-channel 232, the third sub-channel 233, and the fourth sub-channel 234 respectively.
[0060] In this embodiment, a T-shaped diversion passage 221 and a Y-shaped diversion passage 222 are provided in the diversion passage 220, and multi-sub-channel diversion is realized by the two diversion structure layouts. A first diversion section is provided at the entrance of the water flow channel, and its shape is a T-shaped guide structure, which evenly divides the coolant input from the water inlet 300 into two tributaries; a second diversion section is provided after the first diversion section, and its shape is a Y-shaped guide structure, which finally divides the main channel into a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel, a third sub-channel, and a fourth sub-channel, a total of 4 parallel sub-channels.
[0061] The multi-stage sub-channels consist of four sub-channels, which work in conjunction with different functional pathways to create a scientifically sound heat dissipation path. After entering the water inlet, the coolant undergoes a series of processes, including diversion, pressure and speed stabilization, and turbulent mixing. After completing sufficient heat exchange within the water-cooling plate, it is discharged from the water outlet. This entire process is smooth and efficient, significantly improving the overall heat dissipation performance of the water-cooling plate, meeting the stringent requirements of modern equipment for efficient heat dissipation, and providing strong support for the miniaturization and high-performance design of equipment.
[0062] Specific structure of the diversion section: The diversion angle of the first and second diversion sections is 45°~60°, and the diversion port width is matched according to the sub-channel cross-sectional area. For example, the main channel cross-sectional area is 1.2 times the sum of the sub-channel cross-sectional areas to ensure that the coolant has minimal pressure loss during diversion and uniform flow distribution with an error of ≤5%.
[0063] Channel cross-sectional area design: The first sub-channel 231, the second sub-channel 232, the third sub-channel 233, and the fourth sub-channel 234 are designed with uniform cross-sections, such as rectangular cross-sections with a width of 2 to 5 mm and a depth of 5 to 15 mm, to ensure that the coolant does not significantly accelerate or decelerate during the flow process, maintain a stable Reynolds number of Re = 1000 to 2000, and be in the transition zone between laminar flow and turbulent flow, taking into account both heat dissipation and pressure drop.
[0064] The coolant in the water-cooled plate enters the multi-stage sub-channel 230 after passing through the branch channel 220. The coolant in each sub-channel has uneven speed and pressure, which leads to heat dissipation performance problems. In order to solve this problem, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one shunt pressure-stabilizing passage 260 is provided on one end of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 close to the shunt passage 220. The shunt pressure-stabilizing passage 260 is a passage connecting the first sub-channel 231 with the second sub-channel 232, the second sub-channel 232 with the third sub-channel 233, and the third sub-channel 233 with the fourth sub-channel 234.
[0065] The existence of the shunt and pressure-stabilizing passage 260 can ensure that the coolant flows at a stable speed and pressure in each sub-channel. The width of the shunt and pressure-stabilizing passage 260 is greater than or equal to the width of the sub-channel of the multi-stage sub-channel, avoiding the problem of uneven local heat dissipation caused by fluctuations in water flow speed and pressure, so that the water-cooled plate can always maintain stable heat dissipation performance during long-term operation, thereby extending the service life of electronic equipment and reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by unstable heat dissipation.
[0066] In order to further improve the consistency of the cooling liquid velocity and pressure in each sub-channel, in this embodiment, two shunt and pressure stabilizing passages 260 are provided on the multi-stage sub-channel, such as Figure 3 As shown, they are the first shunt and voltage-stabilizing path 261 and the second shunt and voltage-stabilizing path 262 respectively.
[0067] Dimensional design of the shunt voltage stabilizing passage 260:
[0068] The width of the sub-channel of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 is d; the sum of the widths of all sub-channels of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 is d sum ;
[0069] The distance between the first shunt and stabilizing pressure passage 261 and the slow flow cavity 210 is d1, d sum ≤d1≤2d sum ;
[0070] The distance between the second shunt and pressure-stabilizing passage 262 and the slow-flow cavity 210 is d2. The distance between the second-stage shunt and pressure-stabilizing passage and the first pressure-stabilizing passage and the slow-flow cavity is in increasing relationship. After two pressure divisions, the flow rate and inlet pressure of the fluid leading to the parallel sub-channels will tend to be the same.
[0071] The coolant is divided three times and four times in the two diversion and pressure-stabilizing passages 260. The third diversion section includes the first diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage 261. The third diversion section achieves three diversions. The three diversions allow the coolant to flow out of the Y-shaped diversion passage 222, undergo a first-stage water pressure balance in the first diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage 261, and then be evenly divided again into the multi-stage sub-flow channel 230.
[0072] The fourth diversion section includes a second diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage 262, and four diversions are realized through the fourth diversion section. The four diversions allow the coolant to flow out from the first diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage 261, undergo a second-level water pressure balance in the second diversion and pressure-stabilizing passage 262, and then be evenly diverted again into the multi-stage sub-channel 230.
[0073] In this embodiment, the provision of two shunt and pressure-stabilizing passages 260 further improves the consistency of coolant velocity and pressure in each sub-channel, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven local heat dissipation caused by fluctuations in water flow velocity and pressure, and enabling the water-cooling plate to maintain stable heat dissipation performance during long-term operation, thereby extending the service life of electronic equipment and reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by unstable heat dissipation.
[0074] In this embodiment, the diversion angles of the third and fourth diversion sections are 45° to 60°, and the width of the diversion port is matched according to the cross-sectional area of the sub-channels. For example, the cross-sectional area of the main channel is 1.2 times the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the sub-channels, ensuring that the pressure loss of the coolant is minimized during diversion, the flow distribution is uniform, and the error is ≤5%.
[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the multi-stage sub-flow channels are arranged in an S shape, and each sub-flow channel of the multi-stage sub-flow channels is an S-shaped passage.
[0076] In this embodiment, the coolant (such as water-based antifreeze or mineral oil) enters from the water inlet 300, enters the first branch section through the slow flow cavity 210 and is divided into two branches, and then is evenly distributed to the four sub-channels through the second, third and fourth branch sections; the coolant passes through the sub-channels, generates turbulence when flowing through the S-shaped bend section, and fully exchanges heat with the water-cooled plate body; the coolant that has completed the heat exchange is collected in the water outlet confluence cavity, and is circulated and cooled by an external water pump and radiator to achieve continuous heat dissipation.
[0077] The S-shaped flow channel creates a turbulent mixing state during the coolant flow, disrupting the coolant's laminar flow and generating intense convection and disturbance within the coolant. This turbulent mixing accelerates heat transfer, allowing the coolant and hot fluids in the coolant to fully mix, further improving heat exchange efficiency. Compared to traditional linear flow channels, this allows the cold plate to achieve more efficient heat dissipation at the same volume and coolant flow rate.
[0078] Specifically, the S-shaped passage includes continuously arranged S-shaped curved segments, the bending radius of the S-shaped curved segments is 1.0 to 2.0 times the width of the sub-channels of the multi-stage sub-channels, and the bending angle is 30° or 150°.
[0079] In this embodiment, the S-shaped curved section causes the coolant to generate centrifugal force during its flow, thereby destroying the boundary layer and forming turbulent mixing (turbulence intensity ≥ 15%), thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency.
[0080] The thermal resistance of this water-cooled plate is 20% to 30% lower than that of the traditional DC water-cooled plate at the same volume, and the surface temperature uniformity is improved. It is suitable for heat flux density ≥ 100W / cm 2 Heat dissipation scenarios for heat-generating equipment (such as data center servers, new energy vehicle motor controllers, 5G base station amplifier modules, etc.).
[0081] In this embodiment, the water channel is equipped with a diversion path for water flow diversion, a flow rate and pressure stabilization path for stabilizing the flow pressure and speed, and an S-shaped flow path for turbulent mixing of the coolant to fully achieve heat exchange. Through the refined design of the diversion structure, pressure stabilization measures, and flow disturbance path, uniform distribution of the coolant, stable flow, and efficient heat exchange are achieved. The sub-channels allow the coolant to flow through the entire water-cooled plate body at a steady speed and pressure, and then be discharged from the outlet after sufficient heat exchange, thus solving the problems of low heat dissipation efficiency and uneven temperature in traditional water-cooled plates. If the number or shape of the sub-channels needs to be adjusted, the number of diversion sections and the parameters of the S-shaped bend can be optimized according to actual heat dissipation requirements.
[0082] After the coolant flows through 200 and the water channel takes away the heat, the coolant in the multi-stage sub-channel 230 is collected through the confluence cavity 240. Figure 5As shown, the cross section of the cavity is trapezoidal or semicircular, and the cross section area of the confluence cavity 240 is 1.1 times the sum of the cross section areas of all sub-channels of the multi-stage sub-channel 230 .
[0083] In this embodiment, a confluence cavity 240 is provided inside the water outlet 400 to collect the coolant from the four sub-channels and discharge them.
