Therefore, the requirements for heat dissipation structures in power supplies are becoming increasingly stringent. Taking a seeker power supply as an example, this power supply has a concentrated heat source, high heat flux density, and short operating time. Due to the special operating environment of the seeker power supply, the heat it generates cannot be conducted externally and needs to be dissipated and evenly by the power supply casing to maintain the temperature within the normal range during the specified operating time. Therefore, the heat dissipation design of the seeker power supply casing is optimized, mainly in the following two aspects: firstly, optimizing the thermal conductivity of the casing; and secondly, increasing the heat absorption capacity of energy storage materials.

[0014] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0015] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0016] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions disclosed herein, the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following is merely a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0017] Reference Figure 2 The energy storage and heat dissipation electronic device housing provided in the first embodiment of this application may include: a circuit board 1, a housing 2, a heat spreader 3, heat dissipation fins 4, and a cover plate 5; the housing 2 is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by a partition; the circuit board 1 is disposed in the upper cavity of the housing 2, and the surfaces of all heat-generating devices on the circuit board 1 are tightly attached to the upper surface of the partition through a thermally conductive interface material; the heat spreader 3 is a VC heat spreader based on the phase change heat transfer principle, and the VC heat spreader is disposed in the lower cavity of the housing 2, and the VC heat spreader... The upper surface of the heat spreader plate and the lower surface of the partition plate are fixedly connected by welding. The heat dissipation fins 4 are made of copper alloy and are located in the lower cavity of the housing 2. The upper surface of the heat dissipation fins 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the heat spreader plate 3 by welding. The cover plate 5 is fixedly connected to the edge of the lower cavity opening of the housing 2 by welding to seal the lower cavity of the housing 2. The lower cavity is filled with energy storage material 6, which is a high enthalpy phase change material and is attached to the surface of the heat dissipation fins 4. The energy storage material 6 is used for heat absorption phase change and uses latent heat to absorb heat loss so that the electronic equipment can maintain a constant temperature.

[0018] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation path of the heat-generating device on the circuit board 1 is as follows: First, the heat dissipation is transferred to the partition plate of the housing 2 through the thermally conductive interface material; then, it diffuses on the partition plate to the heat spreader. Due to the high thermal conductivity of the heat spreader 3, the heat dissipation rapidly diffuses to the entire partition plate, the heat spreader 3, and the heat dissipation fins 4 welded and fixed to the heat spreader 3. Afterward, the heat dissipation is transferred to the energy storage material 6 attached to the heat dissipation fins 4. As the heat dissipation increases, the temperature of the energy storage material also increases. When the temperature of the energy storage material rises to the phase change temperature, the material absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change, utilizing latent heat to absorb the heat dissipation. Since the phase change process is approximately isothermal, the electronic device can maintain a constant temperature for a short period of time.

[0019] It should be noted that the VC vapor chamber is a passive heat dissipation element based on the principle of phase change heat transfer. It has an ultra-high thermal conductivity and three-dimensional heat diffusion capability, which can rapidly dissipate local heat on the partition to the entire partition and the entire vapor chamber. The heat dissipation fins 4 can conduct heat from the vapor chamber to themselves. The heat dissipation fins 4 not only increase the heat dissipation area, but also provide support for the energy storage material.

[0020] In one embodiment of this application, a material injection hole and a vent hole are provided through the cover plate 5. The material injection hole is used to inject energy storage material 6 into the lower cavity of the housing 2, and the vent hole is used to discharge air from the lower cavity of the housing 2 during the injection of energy storage material 6.

[0021] Both the injection hole and the vent hole are equipped with plugs 7. The two plugs 7 are connected to the injection hole and the vent hole of the cover plate 5 by threads, so as to seal the injection hole and the vent hole on the cover plate 5 respectively after the energy storage material 6 is injected into the lower cavity.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this disclosure provides a housing for an energy storage and heat dissipation electronic device, comprising a circuit board 1, a housing 2, a heat spreader 3, heat dissipation fins 4, a cover plate 5, energy storage material 6, and a plug 7. The housing 2 is divided into an upper and lower cavity by a partition. The circuit board 1 is fixed to the upper cavity of the housing 2 with screws. The surface of the heat-generating device on the circuit board is in close contact with the upper surface of the partition plate of the housing 2 through a thermally conductive interface material. The heat spreader 3 is mounted in the lower cavity of the housing 2 and fixed to the lower surface of the partition plate by welding. Similarly, the heat dissipation fins 4 are mounted in the lower cavity of the housing 2 and fixed to the lower surface of the heat spreader by welding. The cover plate 5 seals the lower cavity of the housing by welding, and then the energy storage material 7 is injected through an opening in the cover plate. Finally, a plug is used to seal the opening in the cover plate.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is used to encapsulate the lower cavity of the housing 2. The cover plate is designed with two through holes. One through hole is used to inject energy storage material, and the other hole is used to vent air when injecting energy storage material. The plug 7 is connected to the opening of the cover plate 5 by thread. After the plug is installed, it is welded to the opening of the cover plate for sealing. Since the energy storage material is in liquid form when injected and its physical state changes when a phase change occurs, a leakage check is required after the encapsulation is completed.

[0024] In one embodiment of this application, the weld between the cover plate 5 and the edge of the lower cavity opening of the housing 2 forms a continuous sealing structure to prevent leakage of the energy storage material 6 injected into the lower cavity of the housing 2.

[0025] The quantity, installation position, and size of the shell 2, heat spreader 3, heat dissipation fins 4, and energy storage material 6 are all adapted and adjusted according to the external dimensions of the circuit board 1 and the position and quantity of the heating modules on the circuit board 1.

[0026] Among them, the melting point of the energy storage material 6 is compatible with the thermal protection temperature of the heating device on the circuit board 1, which can provide high-temperature protection for the heating plate when a phase change occurs.

[0027] In this embodiment, the quantity, position, and size of the housing 2, the heat spreader 3, the heat dissipation fins 4, and the energy storage material 6 can be adjusted according to the position and quantity of the circuit board and its heating module. The housing 2, the heat spreader 3, and the heat dissipation fins 4 are welded together in an integrated design. Thanks to the high thermal conductivity of the heat spreader 3, heat loss can be quickly conducted to various components, keeping the overall temperature difference of the electronic device housing within a small range, thereby reducing the temperature of the heating devices on the circuit board 1. Furthermore, the energy storage material 6 needs to be selected based on the thermal protection temperature of the heating devices. This is because the energy storage material 6 mainly absorbs a large amount of heat loss through phase change. If the selected energy storage material 6 has a too high melting point, the heating device may be under high-temperature protection before the phase change occurs. If the selected energy storage material 6 has a too low melting point, its heat absorption capacity may not meet the requirements.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, this application provides a housing for energy storage and heat dissipation electronic devices, which has the following beneficial effects: the housing is scientifically designed, dividing the housing into two parts, upper and lower cavities. The upper cavity houses the circuit board, and the lower cavity houses the heat dissipation plate, heat sink fins, and energy storage material. This integrated design allows the heat generated by the heat-generating devices on the circuit board to be quickly conducted to the entire housing, and a large amount of heat is absorbed by the energy storage material, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the housing and achieving a good energy storage and heat dissipation effect.

[0029] The second embodiment of this application provides a guide head power supply having the energy storage and heat dissipation electronic device housing provided in any of the preceding claims. The third embodiment of this application provides an electronic device having the previously provided guide head power supply.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
