[0052] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of methods and apparatus consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0053] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application and in the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0054] Currently, the main compact heat sink for dissipating heat from insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) is a pin-type heat sink. This type of heat sink is often processed using an integrated die-casting method and has the advantages of low cost, easy processing, and wear resistance. This structure mainly considers the feasibility of processing and reliability during use, and therefore makes certain compromises in heat transfer performance and flow resistance. During the heat dissipation process of high-power electronic devices, the closer the fluid is to the outlet area, the higher the temperature. Therefore, the temperature of electronic components closer to the outlet is higher, while the temperature of electronic components closer to the inlet is lower. This results in poor overall temperature uniformity of electronic components, which on the one hand affects the service life of some electronic components, and on the other hand, uneven distribution of thermal stress can easily lead to local fatigue damage. As the power of electronic devices increases, this problem of poor temperature uniformity will be further exacerbated. In addition, in order to control the temperature, the needles need to be arranged densely, and this dense staggered arrangement seriously hinders the flow of fluid, resulting in increased flow resistance. As the power of electronic devices continues to increase, this method of continuously increasing the number of needles is unsustainable, both from the perspective of temperature control and flow resistance.
[0055] In response to the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a microchannel radiator and an electronic device. The microchannel radiator provided by the present application includes a radiator body for contacting with a heat dissipation element, and a heat exchange cavity and at least one flow channel are provided in the radiator body, and an inlet and an outlet connected to the heat exchange cavity are provided on the radiator body respectively for fluid in and out, and the heat exchange cavity is divided into at least a first heat exchange zone and a second heat exchange zone along the direction from the inlet to the outlet so that the fluid flows through the heat exchange, and one end of the flow channel is connected to the first heat exchange zone, and the other end of the flow channel is connected to the outlet, so that a part of the fluid entering from the inlet flows through the first heat exchange zone and flows from the flow channel to the outlet, and is discharged. A part of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange, and the other part of the fluid flows to the outlet after passing through the second heat exchange zone, and continues to exchange heat with the remaining areas before discharging the fluid. That is, by discharging a part of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange in the first heat exchange zone, allowing the relatively low-temperature fluid to exchange heat with the second heat exchange zone, the temperature difference between the first heat exchange zone and the second heat exchange zone can be narrowed, and the temperature uniformity of each area can be better. Especially for the heat-dissipating parts with multiple heating areas, each heat exchange zone can dissipate heat for each heating area separately, so that the heat dissipation uniformity is better, thereby ensuring the performance and life of the heat-dissipating parts.
[0056] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the technical solution of the present application in detail. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0057] First, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a microchannel heat sink, including a heat sink body 100 for contacting a heat element to be cooled. The heat sink body 100 has a heat exchange cavity 110 and at least one flow channel 120 therein.
[0058] The radiator body 100 has an inlet 1001 and an outlet 1002 communicating with the heat exchange chamber 110 . The heat exchange chamber 110 is divided into at least a first heat exchange area 111 and a second heat exchange area 112 along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002 .
[0059] One end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the side of the first heat exchange zone 111 close to the heat element to be dissipated, and the other end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the outlet 1002, so that part of the fluid entering from the inlet 1001 flows through the first heat exchange zone 111 and flows from the flow channel 120 to the outlet 1002, and the other part of the fluid flows through the second heat exchange zone 112 and then flows to the outlet 1002.
[0060] The radiator body 100 in this embodiment is used to accommodate the heat exchange fluid. It can be a shell structure and can be formed by splicing or integrally forming. The outer shape is roughly a rectangular thin plate. One side of the outer surface of the radiator body 100 has a heat exchange surface, such as Figure 1The bottom surface in the heat exchange surface is used to contact the heat dissipation component (such as electronic devices). Therefore, the size of the heat exchange surface is related to the size of the heat dissipation component.
[0061] Among them, the radiator body 100 has a heat exchange chamber 110 for accommodating heat exchange fluid. An inlet 1001 is opened on one side of the radiator body 100, and an outlet 1002 is opened on the other side. The inlet 1001 and the outlet 1002 are respectively connected to the heat exchange chamber 110, so that the fluid can flow into the heat exchange chamber 110 from the inlet 1001, and then flow out from the outlet 1002 after heat exchange.
[0062] Furthermore, the heat exchange chamber 110 is divided into a first heat exchange zone 111 and a second heat exchange zone 112 along the length from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002. The first heat exchange zone 111 and the second heat exchange zone 112 respectively exchange heat with different areas on the heat sink. Of course, the chamber 110 can be divided into more areas. It should be noted that the specific sizes of the first heat exchange zone 111 and the second heat exchange zone 112 can be determined based on actual needs.
[0063] In addition, the radiator body 100 has a flow channel 120 for promptly discharging the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange. One end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the side of the first heat exchange zone 111 close to the heat element to be cooled, and the other end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the outlet 1002.
[0064] Specifically, after the fluid flows through the first heat exchange zone 111, the temperature of the fluid closer to the heat element to be dissipated is relatively higher. This portion of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange flows into the flow channel 120 and is promptly discharged. On the other hand, the temperature of the fluid farther from the heat element to be dissipated is relatively lower. This portion of the low-temperature fluid flows into the second heat exchange zone 112 to continue heat exchange with the remaining area. Alternatively, the fluid flowing through the first heat exchange zone 111 does not flow into the second heat exchange zone 112 and is directly discharged.
[0065] The simulation results of the microchannel radiator in the embodiment of the present application are compared with those of the conventional single-layer pin-type radiator. Figure 5 As shown, Figure (a) is a temperature cloud diagram of the fluid cross section of the microchannel radiator in an embodiment of the present application, (b) is a streamline-pressure cloud diagram of the microchannel radiator in an embodiment of the present application, (c) is a streamline-flow velocity cloud diagram of the microchannel radiator in an embodiment of the present application, (d) is a temperature cloud diagram of the fluid cross section of the conventional needle-column radiator, (e) is a streamline-pressure cloud diagram of the conventional needle-column radiator, and (f) is a streamline-flow velocity cloud diagram of the conventional needle-column radiator.
[0066] As can be seen from the above figure, from the cross-sectional temperature cloud map, it can be found that the fluid temperature of the conventional needle-column radiator gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet, and the temperature difference of the fluid between the inlet and outlet is close to 20°C. However, the fluid temperature change trend of the microchannel radiator in the embodiment of the present application is significantly different. After the fluid temperature in the first heat exchange zone 111 gradually rises, the high-temperature fluid flows away from the lateral flow channel 120, and the upper low-temperature fluid flows into the second heat exchange zone 112, which has a strong effect on promoting the heat exchange in the second heat exchange zone 112. From the streamline-pressure cloud map, it can be seen that the fluid in the microchannel radiator in the embodiment of the present application has obvious stratified flow. After passing through the first heat exchange zone 111, the lower layer of fluid flows to the flow channels 120 on both sides. Due to the reduction in channel size, the flow rate increases significantly here. In addition, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet is also significantly reduced compared to the conventional needle-column radiator.
[0067] It can be understood that, compared with the heat exchange structure in the prior art that does not discharge the high-temperature fluid in a timely manner, the application of the microchannel radiator in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the temperature difference between the first heat exchange zone 111 and the second heat exchange zone 112 by timely discharging a portion of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange in the first heat exchange zone 111, allowing the relatively low-temperature fluid to exchange heat with the second heat exchange zone 112, thereby making the temperature uniformity of each area better. In particular, for a heat-dissipating component with multiple heating areas, each heat exchange zone can dissipate heat for each heating area separately, so that the heat dissipation uniformity is better.
[0068] Thus, the microchannel radiator provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a radiator body 100 for contacting a heat element to be radiated, and a heat exchange chamber 110 and at least one flow channel 120 are provided in the radiator body 100, and an inlet 1001 and an outlet 1002 are provided on the radiator body 100 respectively, which are connected to the heat exchange chamber 110, so as to allow fluid to enter and exit, and the heat exchange chamber 110 is divided into at least a first heat exchange zone 111 and a second heat exchange zone 112 along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002, so that the fluid flows through the heat exchange, and one end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the first heat exchange zone 111, and the other end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the outlet 1002, so that a part of the fluid entering from the inlet 1001 is The fluid flows through the first heat exchange zone 111 and flows from the flow channel 120 to the outlet 1002, discharging a portion of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange, and the other portion of the fluid flows through the second heat exchange zone 112 and flows to the outlet 1002, continuing to heat the remaining areas and then discharging the fluid. That is, by discharging a portion of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange in the first heat exchange zone 111 and allowing the relatively low-temperature fluid to exchange heat with the second heat exchange zone 112, the temperature difference between the first heat exchange zone 111 and the second heat exchange zone 112 can be reduced, so that the temperature uniformity of each area is better. In particular, for a heat-dissipating component with multiple heating areas, each heat exchange zone can dissipate heat for each heating area separately, so that the heat dissipation uniformity is better, thereby ensuring the performance and life of the heat-dissipating component.
[0069] In some embodiments, the radiator body 100 has a partition 130 therein, which is located in the first heat exchange area 111 to divide part of the first heat exchange area 111 into a first chamber 1111 and a second chamber 1112. The first chamber 1111 and the second chamber 1112 are at least partially stacked.
[0070] The first chamber 1111 is close to the heat element to be cooled, and allows the fluid flowing through the first chamber 1111 to flow into the flow channel 120 and the second heat exchange area 112 .
[0071] The second chamber 1112 is away from the heat element to be dissipated, and allows the fluid flowing through the second chamber 1112 to flow into the second heat exchange area 112 .
[0072] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the partition 130 is used to divide the heat exchange chamber 110 in the first heat exchange zone 111 into a first chamber 1111 and a second chamber 1112. The partition 130 can be a partition, that is, the partition divides the heat exchange chamber 110 in the first heat exchange zone 111 into two layers, the first chamber 1111 is located on the side close to the heat exchange surface, and the second chamber 1112 is located on the side away from the heat exchange surface.
[0073] In this way, the fluid is divided into two parts after flowing into the first heat exchange zone 111. One part of the fluid enters the first chamber 1111 and mainly exchanges heat with the heat-dissipating components to be cooled corresponding to the first heat exchange zone 111. After the heat exchange, a high-temperature fluid is formed, and then a part of it is discharged through the flow channel 120 and enters the second heat exchange zone 112 at the same time; the other part of the fluid enters the second chamber 1112. Since it does not participate in the main heat exchange, it maintains a relatively low temperature and flows directly into the second heat exchange zone 112 to exchange heat with the heat-dissipating components to be cooled corresponding to the second heat exchange zone 112, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the second heat exchange zone 112 and reducing the temperature between the two.
[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flow channel 120 is communicated with a side of the first chamber 1111 away from the inlet 1001 .
[0075] Set it up like this, Figure 2 As shown, the high-temperature fluid is discharged from the flow channel 120 after the fluid has been fully heat exchanged in the first heat exchange zone 111 as much as possible, so as to avoid the fluid being discharged from the flow channel 120 before being fully heat exchanged.
[0076] The specific communication position and structure between the flow channel 120 and the first chamber 1111 can be determined according to actual needs and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a flow block 140 is provided in the radiator body 100 . The flow block 140 is located between the first chamber 1111 and the second heat exchange area 112 to limit the flow of the fluid flowing from the first chamber 1111 to the second heat exchange area 112 .
[0078] With this arrangement, the flow-blocking portion 140 can significantly restrict the flow of high-temperature fluid after sufficient heat exchange in the first chamber 1111 into the second heat exchange area 112, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature fluid on the second heat exchange area 112. The extent of the flow-limiting effect of the flow-blocking portion 140 on the flow between the first chamber 1111 and the second heat exchange area 112 can be determined based on actual needs and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0079] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the flow blocking portion 140 is two blocks, which are arranged between the first chamber 1111 and the second heat exchange area 112. A flow groove flows between the two blocks to allow part of the fluid flowing through the first chamber 1111 to flow through.
[0080] Of course, the flow blocking portion 140 may also be replaced by other types of flow blocking structures, as long as the structure can limit the flow of the fluid, and no excessive restrictions are made in this embodiment.
[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat sink body 100 has at least a portion of the guide portion 150 therein. The guide portion 150 is located in the second heat exchange area 112 to guide the fluid flowing through the second chamber 1112 to the second heat exchange area 112 .
[0082] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the guide part 150 is used to guide the fluid flowing through the second chamber 1112 to the second heat exchange area 112. It can be a guide surface, a guide groove, etc. The guide part 150 is used to guide the fluid flowing through the second chamber 1112 to the second heat exchange area 112, thereby reducing the resistance of the fluid flowing from the second chamber 1112 to the second heat exchange area 112.
[0083] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the guide portion 150 is a guide slope, and the guide slope is located on a side of the heat exchange cavity 110 that is away from the heat element to be dissipated.
[0084] A first distance is formed between the inner wall of the heat exchange chamber 110 on the side close to the heat element to be dissipated and the guide slope, and the first distance gradually decreases from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002 .
[0085] Specifically, continue as Figure 1 As shown, the guide slope is located on the side of the heat exchange cavity 110 away from the heat exchange surface and close to the second chamber 1112. The distance between the guide slope and the inner wall close to the heat exchange surface gradually decreases from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002. Figure 1 Indicated by the positive direction of the X axis.
[0086] In this way, the fluid can smoothly enter the second heat exchange zone 112 under the action of the guiding slope. Changing the slope of the guiding slope can change the position where the upper fluid flows into the rear row of the second heat exchange zone 112, thereby reducing the temperature of the local hot spot in a targeted manner. The specific slope and length of the guiding slope, as well as the specific size of the first spacing, can be determined according to actual needs and are not excessively limited in this embodiment.
[0087] In some embodiments, the microchannel radiator provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes a fluid turbulence 200 , and at least one of the first chamber 1111 and the second heat exchange area 112 is provided with a plurality of fluid turbulence 200 .
[0088] With such a configuration, under the action of the turbulent body 200, complex turbulence can be formed when the fluid flows through, thereby making the fluid heat exchange more sufficient. Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of fluid turbulences 200 are alternately disposed in the first chamber 1111 and the second heat exchange zone 112. Of course, fluid turbulences 200 may also be disposed only in the first chamber 1111 or the second heat exchange zone 112.
[0089] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the flow disturbing fluid 200 of the first chamber 1111 and / or the second heat exchange zone 112 is arranged in a front-to-back staggered manner along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002 .
[0090] In this way, the turbulence effect can be enhanced, making the heat exchange more sufficient and the heat exchange effect better. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the flow disturbing body 200 is a protrusion provided in the first chamber 1111 and / or the second heat exchange area 112, such as a needle column, a fin, a corrugated plate, etc.
[0091] For example, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the flow disruptor 200 includes an ellipse, and the major axis of the ellipse is arranged along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002 .
[0092] That is, the disrupting body 200 is an elliptical cylinder, and the long axis of the ellipse is arranged along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002. While ensuring the heat exchange contact surface, it can also reduce a certain flow resistance, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
[0093] The major axis of the ellipse can be set to about 3 mm, the minor axis can be set to about 1.5 mm, and the height of the ellipse can be set to about 3.5 mm. Figure 4 As shown in the X-axis direction, the distance between the front and rear elliptical cylinders can be set to about 3.5 mm. Figure 4As shown in the Y-axis direction, the spacing between adjacent elliptical cylinders can be set to about 1.25 mm.
[0094] Optionally, a preset gap is left between the fluid turbulence 200 and the inner wall of the heat exchange chamber 110 facing away from the heat exchange element to be dissipated. That is, the average height in the heat exchange chamber 110 can be set to approximately 6 mm, so that the fluid turbulence 200 does not contact the inner wall of the heat exchange chamber 110 facing away from the heat exchange surface. This effectively reduces flow resistance.
[0095] In addition, the flow disruptor 200 can also be set with a draft angle of about 3 degrees, forming a thicker bottom and thinner top structure, which reduces the difficulty of demolding and further reduces the flow resistance. Of course, the flow disruptor 200 can also be set to other shapes and spacings, such as cylindrical, rhombic, or special-shaped columns, according to actual needs, and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0096] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fluid disturbance body 200 is connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange cavity 110 on the side close to the heat element to be dissipated.
[0097] In this way, the heat on the heat dissipation element can be quickly transferred to each fluid turbulence body 200 and diffused into the fluid through the fluid turbulence body 200, thereby improving the heat exchange rate.
[0098] In some embodiments, two flow channels 120 are provided, and along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002 , the two flow channels 120 are respectively located on both sides of the heat exchange chamber 110 .
[0099] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the two flow channels 120 are arranged from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002. Figure 2 As shown in the positive direction of the X-axis, such an arrangement can ensure the flow area of the flow channel 120, is easy to process, and has a more reasonable structure.
[0100] In some embodiments, the radiator body 100 includes a bottom plate 101 , a cover 102 and at least one partition 103 . A heat exchange surface is provided on one side of the bottom plate 101 , and the heat exchange surface is used to contact the heat element to be cooled.
[0101] The cover 102 is disposed on a side of the bottom plate 101 away from the heat exchange surface to enclose and form a cavity. The partition 103 is disposed in the cavity and divides the cavity into a heat exchange chamber 110 and a flow channel 120 .
[0102] An inlet 1001 and an outlet 1002 are left on at least one of the bottom plate 101 and the cover 102 .
[0103] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown, the bottom plate 101 is a thin plate structure with a heat exchange surface on its bottom surface. The cover body 102 is covered on the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 and encloses a cavity. The partition 103 is strip-shaped and divides the cavity into a heat exchange cavity 110 and a flow channel 120. An inlet 1001 is left on one side of the bottom plate 101 or the cover body 102, and an outlet 1002 is left on the other side.
[0104] The bottom plate 101, cover 102, and partition 103 can be individually machined and then welded together. Furthermore, the flow disruptor 200 can be integrally die-cast with the bottom plate 101. The partition 130, flow blocking portion 140, and flow guide 150 can be plate-like structures that are individually machined and then welded to the bottom plate 101, cover 102, or partition 103.
[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a through hole 1031 is formed on the partition 103 . The through hole 1031 is located on a side close to the heat exchange surface. The through hole 1031 communicates with the flow channel 120 and the first heat exchange area 111 .
[0106] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a through hole 1031 or a notch is provided on the side of the partition 103 close to the heat exchange surface, and the through hole 1031 connects the flow channel 120 and the first heat exchange zone 111. In order to ensure better discharge of the high-temperature fluid in the first heat exchange zone 111, the through hole 1031 needs to be located on the side away from the inlet 1001 so that the fluid can flow into the flow channel 120 only after sufficient heat exchange.
[0107] The specific shape, size, position, etc. of the through hole 1031 can be determined according to actual needs and are not excessively restricted in this embodiment.
[0108] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device, comprising an electronic device, on which is disposed a microchannel heat sink provided by any of the above embodiments. The electronic device may be a transistor, a chip, a semiconductor, or the like.
[0109] The structure of the microchannel radiator has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be described again here.
[0110] It can be understood that the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured with the above-mentioned microchannel radiator, which includes a radiator body 100 for contacting the heat element to be radiated, and a heat exchange cavity 110 and at least one flow channel 120 are provided in the radiator body 100, and an inlet 1001 and an outlet 1002 are respectively provided on the radiator body 100, which are connected to the heat exchange cavity 110, for fluid to enter and exit, and the heat exchange cavity 110 is divided into at least a first heat exchange area 111 and a second heat exchange area 112 along the direction from the inlet 1001 to the outlet 1002, so that the fluid flows through the heat exchange area, and one end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the first heat exchange area 111, and the other end of the flow channel 120 is connected to the outlet 1002, so that the heat from the inlet 10 Part of the fluid entering 01 flows through the first heat exchange zone 111 and flows from the flow channel 120 to the outlet 1002, discharging part of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange, and the other part of the fluid flows through the second heat exchange zone 112 and then flows to the outlet 1002, continuing to heat the remaining areas and then discharging the fluid. That is, by discharging part of the high-temperature fluid after heat exchange in the first heat exchange zone 111 and allowing the relatively low-temperature fluid to exchange heat with the second heat exchange zone 112, the temperature difference between the first heat exchange zone 111 and the second heat exchange zone 112 can be reduced, so that the temperature uniformity of each area is better. In particular, for a heat-dissipating component with multiple heating areas, each heat exchange zone can dissipate heat for each heating area separately, so that the heat dissipation uniformity is better, thereby ensuring the performance and life of the heat-dissipating component.
