Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solid-liquid phase change chambers, in particular to a solid-liquid phase change chamber structure with a uniform enhanced heat conduction structure. Background Art
[0002] Some electronic devices cannot be cooled by air in a vacuum environment, and there is no liquid cooling source equipment for liquid cooling. They can only dissipate heat through conduction and radiation through the device itself as a heat sink. Therefore, solid-liquid phase change materials (such as paraffin) are generally embedded in the structure to control the temperature of the device. This material is widely used because of its large latent heat, low cost, no supercooling, and stable chemical properties. The material is solid at room temperature and absorbs heat when it melts into liquid when heated.
[0003] The key to using this technology is to load the solid-liquid phase change material into the metal box and seal the filling port. At present, the industry generally uses a cavity dug on the back of the box and fills it with foamed aluminum. The shape of the foamed aluminum is consistent with the cavity, but there is contact thermal resistance between the two. If necessary, welding is required to fix it, and then the cover is welded to the upper surface. In order to fill the cover, holes are punched on the front of the cover or the filling port is processed. After filling, the filling port is blocked. The blocking is generally done by vacuum electron beam welding.
[0004] Disadvantages of existing technology:
[0005] 1. The manufacturing cost of the foam aluminum block itself is relatively high
[0006] 2. The strength of foamed aluminum is relatively low, and the structural thickness must be at least 2 mm, which makes it difficult to form structures with more complex phase change cavities.
[0007] 3. The contact surface between the foam aluminum and the cavity and cover is small, so the entire area cannot be welded, and the contact thermal resistance is large.
[0008] 4. The injection holes are directly milled on the cover plate for hose connection, so the raw material is relatively thick;
[0009] 5. When welding the plugs at the injection holes on the cover plate, the inner side needs to be partially thickened to make a sinking cavity. During the injection process, cavities are easily formed on the lower surface of the cover plate. It is difficult to exhaust during the injection process, and a vacuum state must be drawn. Otherwise, it is easy to cause inflation, bulging, and leakage during use.
[0010] 6. Electron beam welding of cover plates and injection holes is relatively expensive and has high processing costs. Utility Model Content
[0011] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model solves the problems in the prior art that the phase change cavity using foam aluminum has low strength and is inconvenient to process.
[0012] A solid-liquid phase change cavity structure with a uniformly enhanced thermal conductivity structure includes a phase change box body, a phase change cavity is arranged inside the phase change box body, a small column is arranged in the phase change cavity, a perfusion hole is arranged at one end of the bottom of the phase change box body, and an exhaust hole is arranged at the other end, the perfusion hole and the exhaust hole are connected to the phase change box body, the upper end of the phase change box body is also covered with a cover plate, and the perfusion hole and the exhaust hole are also connected to an adapter.
[0013] Furthermore, the phase change box body is a rectangular frame structure, a rectangular groove is opened on the front of the phase change box body, a plurality of long steps are arranged inside the groove, and the long steps are perpendicular to each other to divide the rectangular block space.
[0014] Furthermore, the small pillars are rectangular block structures or cylindrical structures, vertically arranged inside the phase change cavity, with a height lower than the rectangular groove of the phase change box body, and a plurality of small pillars are evenly distributed inside the phase change box body.
[0015] Furthermore, the cover plate is a rectangular flat plate structure, and the size of the cover plate corresponds to the size of the phase change box body.
[0016] Furthermore, the adapter is a cylindrical structure, with an external thread at the bottom, a hexagonal boss in the middle, and a pagoda-shaped hose connection port at the top.
[0017] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0018] The columns are directly milled, eliminating the processing cost of foam aluminum and reducing processing risks;
[0019] The upper surface of the cavity column and the surrounding of the cavity are brazed with the cover plate, which has good contact, small thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity.
[0020] The injection holes on the cover are no longer processed directly, and adapters are used to extend the pipeline, reducing the thickness of the raw materials by at least 8mm;
[0021] The welding plug of the injection hole is changed to a self-made aluminum screw plus a silicone rubber O-ring. The processing cost is similar, but no electron beam welding is required, and there will no longer be poor porosity caused by the volatilization of paraffin during the welding process, which improves the qualification rate and reduces the welding cost.

[0031] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1-5 As shown, a solid-liquid phase change cavity structure with a uniformly enhanced thermal conductive structure includes a phase change box body 1, a phase change cavity 2 is arranged inside the phase change box body 1, a small column 3 is arranged in the phase change cavity 2, a perfusion hole 4 is arranged at one end of the bottom of the phase change box body 1, and an exhaust hole 5 is arranged at the other end, the perfusion hole 4 and the exhaust hole 5 are connected to the phase change box body 1, and the upper end of the phase change box body 1 is also covered with a cover plate 6, and the perfusion hole 4 and the exhaust hole 5 are also connected to the adapter 7.
[0032] Furthermore, the phase change box body 1 is a rectangular frame structure, a rectangular groove is opened on the front of the phase change box body 1, a plurality of long steps are arranged inside the groove, and the long steps are perpendicular to each other to divide rectangular block spaces.
[0033] Furthermore, the small pillars 3 are rectangular block structures or cylindrical structures, and are vertically arranged inside the phase change cavity 2 , with a height lower than the rectangular groove of the phase change box body 1 , and a plurality of small pillars 3 are evenly distributed inside the phase change box body 1 .

[0035] Furthermore, the adapter 7 is a cylindrical structure, with an external thread at the bottom, a hexagonal boss in the middle, and a pagoda-shaped hose connection port at the top.
[0036] The principle of this application is as follows: the foam aluminum is eliminated. A columnar lattice structure is directly added to the inner cavity, and the column surface is also fully contacted and welded with the cover plate to form a whole; the injection hole is placed on the side, and a separate slotted screw plus a sealing ring is designed to seal the injection hole.
[0037] After the box body is dug, small columns (cylindrical or square) are evenly arranged.

The direct milling of the injection holes to the cover plate is eliminated, the raw materials of the cover plate are reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0042] 3. The injection holes on the cover are no longer processed directly, and adapters are used to extend the pipeline, reducing the thickness of the raw materials by at least 8mm;
[0043] 4. The welding plug of the injection hole is changed to a self-made aluminum screw plus a silicone rubber O-ring. The processing cost is similar, but no electron beam welding is required, and there will no longer be poor porosity caused by the volatilization of paraffin during the welding process, which improves the qualification rate and reduces the welding cost.
