However, in some card-type projects (such as graphics cards and accelerator cards), due to space constraints, multiple chips need to share a single heatsink, and the placement of the heatsink screws is affected by the layout, preventing them from being evenly and symmetrically distributed. This necessitates that the spring forces applied by each screw be inconsistent to meet the requirement of uniform stress on the chip.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] This invention provides a method for calculating the spring force of heat sink screws, used to calculate the spring force of each screw on a heat sink used to assist in heat dissipation for multiple chips. This method can be applied to computer equipment, where the computer equipment obtains the force requirements of each chip; based on the force requirements of each chip and the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink, a system of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principles of total force balance and torque balance; solving the system of equations yields the spring force of each screw.

[0015] In this invention, by obtaining the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink and combining them with the force requirements of each chip, a set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Finally, by solving these equations, the magnitude of the spring force of each screw is obtained. Compared to relying on experience to determine the spring force of each screw, this invention quickly and accurately calculates the spring force of each screw by solving the equations, avoiding empirical errors, ensuring uniform force distribution on the chip, meeting heat dissipation requirements, and guaranteeing product reliability. The invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0016] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for calculating the spring force of a radiator screw according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method for calculating the spring force of the radiator screw includes steps S10 to S20: S10: Obtain the stress requirements of each chip.

[0017] This step obtains the stress requirements of each chip through data import or manual input. This embodiment of the invention uses two chips sharing a heat sink as an example to illustrate the process, obtaining the stress requirements of chip 1 and chip 2 respectively. and Please see Table 1 for specific data: Table 1: S20: Based on the force requirements of each chip and the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink, a set of equations for calculating the spring force of the screws is constructed using the principle of total force balance and the principle of torque balance. Solving the set of equations yields the magnitude of the spring force of each screw.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, step S20 includes steps S21 to S24: S21: Select a chip as the target chip, establish a coordinate system with the center of the target chip as the origin, and obtain the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink in the coordinate system.

[0019] This invention will be illustrated using the example of two chips sharing a heat sink. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment of the invention, chip 1 is selected as the target chip, and a coordinate system is established with the center of chip 1 as the origin. The coordinates of the 7 screws on the heat sink in the coordinate system are obtained, as shown in Table 2.

[0020] Table 2: It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of chips can be 2, 4 or more, and the number of screws can also be set to other numbers, such as 5, 6 or 9.

[0021] S22: Based on the total force balance and torque balance, construct a set of equations for calculating the screw spring force.

[0022] When a heat sink dissipates heat from a target chip, multiple screws on the heat sink apply non-uniform and asymmetrical forces to the chip. To ensure that the force on the target chip is completely uniform, the heat sink must be balanced in the Z-direction (without moving or rotating), and the total force on the multiple chips must meet the requirements. Based on this, several equations can be constructed: (1) Based on the overall force balance, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0023] (2) Since the radiator is in equilibrium in the Z direction, the sum of the torques of all forces in the XY coordinate system about the origin (0,0) is zero.

[0024] (2-1) Based on the torque balance around the Y-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0025] (2-2) Based on the torque balance around the X-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0026] The three equations constructed above together constitute the equation system for calculating the screw spring force: , in, Let be the spring force of the i-th screw. For the stress requirement of the j-th chip, Let N be the coordinate of the i-th screw, N be the number of screws, and M be the number of chips.

[0027] S23: When the number of screws is greater than 3, set the constraint condition for the equation system: the spring force of some screws is equal.

[0028] The system of equations contains only three equations. When the number of screws N > 3, the system of equations has an infinite number of solutions. In this case, the solution can be optimized by setting constraints. From the perspective of optimal heatsink design, it is necessary to design as many screws as possible with consistent spring forces. Based on this, the constraint is set as follows: the spring forces of any k screws are equal, and k is an integer. For example, when the number of screws N = 7, k is 3, that is, the constraint is set as: the spring forces of any 3 screws are equal.

[0029] S24: Solve the system of equations and optimize the solution by minimizing the difference between the spring forces of different screws to obtain the magnitude of the spring force of each screw.

[0030] When solving the system of equations, by combining the constraints and optimizing with the goal of minimizing the difference between the spring forces of different screws, a set of optimal solutions can be obtained, which gives the magnitude of the spring force of each screw.

[0031] Table 3: Table 3 shows a set of preferred solutions to the system of equations constructed based on the data in Tables 1 and 2, wherein the constraints are set as follows when solving the system of equations: The optimal solution is the magnitude of the spring force of the seven screws on the heat sink.

[0032] The heat sink screw spring force calculation method provided in this embodiment of the invention obtains the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink, combines the force requirements of each chip, and constructs a set of equations for screw spring force calculation using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Finally, by solving the set of equations, the magnitude of the spring force of each screw is obtained. Compared to relying on experience to determine the spring force of each screw, this invention can quickly and accurately calculate the spring force of each screw by solving the set of equations, avoiding empirical errors, ensuring uniform force distribution on the chip, meeting heat dissipation requirements, and guaranteeing product reliability. Furthermore, by setting constraints to optimize the solution, the spring force of each screw on the heat sink can be designed from the optimal perspective of heat sink design, further improving the product's heat dissipation efficiency and reliability.

[0033] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a method for calculating the spring force of a radiator screw according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method for calculating the spring force of the radiator screw includes steps S110 to S120: S110: Obtain the stress requirements of each chip.

[0035] This step and Figure 1-3 Step S10 in the illustrated embodiment is the same and will not be repeated here.

[0036] S120: Based on the force requirements of each chip and the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink, a set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Solving the set of equations yields the magnitude of the spring force of each screw.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, step S120 includes steps S121 to S124: S121: Divide the distribution area of ​​each screw on the heat sink into a first area and a second area.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the distribution area of ​​the 7 screws on the heat sink is divided into a first region (region 1) and a second region (region 2). Screws 1-4 are located in the first region, and screws 5-7 are located in the second region. When dividing the regions, the goal is to minimize the difference in the number of screws between the two regions, and to ensure that each region contains at least one chip. For example, chip 1 is located in the first region, and chip 2 is located in the second region.

[0039] S122: Select two chips as the first target chip and the second target chip respectively.

[0040] The first target chip and the second target chip should be selected from the chips in the first region and the second region, respectively, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, chip 1 is selected as the first target chip in the first region, and chip 2 is selected as the second target chip in the second region.

[0041] S123: Based on the force requirements of the first target chip and the coordinates of each screw in the first region, the first set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principle of total force balance and the principle of torque balance. Solving the first set of equations yields the magnitude of the spring force of each screw in the first region.

[0042] Step S123 further includes steps S1231 to S1235: S1231: Establish a first coordinate system with the center of the first target chip as the origin, and obtain the coordinates of each screw in the first region in the first coordinate system.

[0043] In this embodiment, chip 1 is selected as the first target chip, and a coordinate system is established with the center of chip 1 as the origin. The coordinates of screws 1-4 in the first region are obtained in the first coordinate system, as shown in Table 4.

[0044] Table 4: S1232: Based on the overall force balance and torque balance, construct the first set of equations for calculating the spring forces of each screw in the first region.

[0045] When the heat sink dissipates heat from the first target chip, multiple screws on the heat sink apply non-uniform and asymmetrical forces to the chip. To ensure that the force on the chip is completely uniform, the heat sink must be balanced in the Z-direction (without moving or rotating), and the forces on the chip must meet the requirements. Based on this, several equations can be constructed: (1) Based on the overall force balance, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0046] (2) Since the radiator is in equilibrium in the Z direction, the sum of the torques of all forces in the first coordinate system about the origin (0,0) is zero.

[0047] (2-1) Based on the torque balance around the Y-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0048] (2-2) Based on the torque balance around the X-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0049] The three equations constructed above together constitute the first set of equations for calculating the spring force of each screw in the first region: , in, Let i be the spring force of the i-th screw in the first region. The stress requirements for the first target chip, Let M be the coordinates of the i-th screw in the first region in the first coordinate system, and M be the number of screws in the first region.

[0050] S1233: When M>3, set the first constraint condition for the first set of equations: the spring force of some screws in the first region is equal.

[0051] The first set of equations contains only three equations. When the number of screws N > 3 in the first region, the first set of equations has an infinite number of solutions. In this case, the solution can be optimized by setting constraints. From the perspective of optimal heat sink design, it is necessary to design as many screws as possible with consistent spring forces. Based on this, the first constraint is set as follows: the spring forces of any k screws in the first region are equal, and k is an integer. For example, when M = 4, k is 2, that is, the first constraint is set as: the spring forces of any two screws in the first region are equal.

[0052] S1234: Solve the first set of equations and optimize the solution with the goal of minimizing the difference in spring force between different screws to obtain a set of preliminary optimal solutions.

[0053] When solving the first set of equations, by combining the first constraint conditions and optimizing the solution with the objective of minimizing the difference in spring force between different screws, a preliminary optimal solution can be obtained. , .

[0054] S1235: Apply a virtual force to the center of the first target chip. According to this virtual force Calculate the spring force of each screw in the first region.

[0055] The preliminary optimal solution calculated in steps S1234 is not the final spring force magnitude of each screw in the first region. Since the heat sink simultaneously cools both the first and second target chips, a force transmission exists between them. Based on this, a virtual force is defined. (This virtual force represents the force transfer between the first target chip and the second target chip) is given to the first target chip, and this virtual force is applied to the first target chip. By releasing the spring force proportionally to each screw in the first region, the magnitude of the spring force for each screw in the first region can be obtained. Specifically, the magnitude of the spring force for each screw in the first region is calculated according to the following formula: , in, This represents the final calculated spring force of the i-th screw in the first region.

[0056] It should be noted that this virtual force This is an unknown variable, which needs to be obtained by solving the system of equations in subsequent step S124. The virtual force is to be calculated. Only after obtaining the specific values ​​can the final spring force of each screw in the first region be determined, that is, the determination of... Size.

[0057] S124: Based on the force requirements of the second target chip and the coordinates of each screw in the second region, the second set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principle of total force balance and the principle of torque balance. Solving the second set of equations yields the magnitude of the spring force of each screw in the second region.

[0058] Step S124 further includes steps S1241 to S1244: S1241: Establish a second coordinate system with the center of the second target chip as the origin, and obtain the coordinates of each screw in the second region and the first target chip in the second coordinate system.

[0059] like Figure 7As shown in Table 5, in this embodiment, chip 2 is selected as the second target chip, and a second coordinate system is established with the center of chip 2 as the origin. The coordinates of screws 5-7 in the second region and the first target chip in the second coordinate system are obtained.

[0060] Table 5: S1242: Based on the overall force balance and torque balance, construct the second set of equations for calculating the spring forces of each screw in the second region.

[0061] When the heat sink dissipates heat from the second target chip, multiple screws on the heat sink apply non-uniform and asymmetrical forces to the chip. To ensure that the force on the second target chip is completely uniform, the heat sink must be balanced in the Z-direction (without moving or rotating), and the forces on the second target chip must meet the requirements. Based on this, several equations can be constructed: (1) Based on the overall force balance, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0062] (2) Since the radiator is in equilibrium in the Z direction, the sum of the torques of all forces in the first coordinate system about the origin (0,0) is zero.

[0063] (2-1) Based on the torque balance around the Y-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0064] (2-2) Based on the torque balance around the X-axis, the following equation can be constructed: .

[0065] The three equations constructed above together constitute the second set of equations for calculating the spring forces of each screw in the second region: , in, Let J be the spring force of the j-th screw in the second region. The stress requirements for the second target chip, Let j be the coordinates of the j-th screw in the second region in the second coordinate system. Let N be the coordinates of the first target chip in the second coordinate system, N be the number of screws on the heat sink, and M be the number of screws in the first region.

[0066] S1243: When NM > 3, set a second constraint condition for the second set of equations: the spring forces of any p screws in the second region are equal, and Take the integer part; The second set of equations has only three equations. When the number of screws NM in the second region is greater than 2, a virtual force is added. (Unknowns), the number of unknowns > 3, the second system of equations has infinite solutions. In this case, the solution can be optimized by setting constraints. From the perspective of optimal heatsink design, it is necessary to design as many screws as possible with the same spring force. Based on this, the second constraint is set as follows: the spring force of any p screws in the second region is equal, and Take an integer value. For example, when NM=3, k takes the value 2, that is, the second constraint condition is set as: the spring force of any two screws in the second region is equal.

[0067] S1244: Solve the second set of equations and optimize the solution with the goal of minimizing the difference between the spring forces of different screws to obtain the spring force of each screw in the second region.

[0068] When solving the second set of equations, by combining the second constraint condition and optimizing the solution with the objective of minimizing the difference in spring force between different screws, a set of optimal solutions can be obtained. This set of optimal solutions includes virtual forces. and , .

[0069] By solving the system of equations twice, in steps S123 and S124, the final spring force of each screw is obtained: , ; , .

[0070] The heat sink screw spring force calculation method provided in this embodiment divides the distribution area of ​​each screw on the heat sink into a first region and a second region. First, based on the force requirements of the first target chip and the coordinates of each screw in the first region, a first set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Solving the first set of equations yields the spring force magnitude of each screw in the first region. Then, based on the force requirements of the second target chip and the coordinates of each screw in the second region, a second set of equations for calculating the screw spring force is constructed using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Solving the second set of equations yields the spring force magnitude of each screw in the second region. By solving the equations twice, the spring force magnitude of each screw can be calculated quickly and accurately. Compared to relying on experience to determine the spring force magnitude of each screw, this avoids empirical errors, ensures uniform chip stress, meets heat dissipation requirements, and guarantees product reliability. Furthermore, by setting constraints to optimize the solution, the spring force magnitude of each screw on the heat sink can be designed from the optimal perspective of heat sink design, further improving the product's heat dissipation efficiency and reliability.

[0071] The present invention also provides a radiator design method, applicable to radiator designs with non-uniformly distributed screws, the radiator design method comprising the following steps: Step 1: Using Figure 1-3 The method for calculating the spring force of the radiator screw in the illustrated embodiment, or the user Figure 4-7 The method for calculating the spring force of the radiator screws in the illustrated embodiment is used to calculate the spring force of each screw on the radiator. Step 2: Based on the calculated spring force of each screw, adjust the step height of the radiator base plate at each screw location.

[0072] In the design of the heat sink, the screws and springs are normalized. After calculating the spring force of each screw, the step height of the heat sink base plate corresponding to each screw is adjusted according to the spring force of each screw. This makes the compression of the spring at each position inconsistent after the screw is locked. By controlling the compression of the spring at each position through different step heights, the spring force of different screws can be controlled, thus achieving the function of inconsistent spring force of screws at different positions.

[0073] The heat sink design method provided in this invention obtains the coordinates of each screw on the heat sink, combines them with the force requirements of each chip, and constructs a set of equations for calculating the screw spring force using the principles of total force balance and torque balance. Finally, by solving these equations, the magnitude of the spring force of each screw is obtained. Compared to relying on experience to determine the spring force of each screw, this invention can quickly and accurately calculate the spring force of each screw by solving the equations, avoiding empirical errors, ensuring uniform force on the chip, meeting heat dissipation requirements, and guaranteeing product reliability. Furthermore, the step height of the heat sink base plate corresponding to each screw is adjusted according to the spring force of each screw. By adjusting the position of the heat sink base plate and the spring engagement, the compression of the spring at each position is controlled, thereby controlling the spring force of different screws. This achieves the function of inconsistent spring force at different screw positions, thus normalizing the screws and springs. Screws and springs with different spring force requirements can use the same specifications, reducing the types of components and lowering the cost of the heat sink.
