Abstract

[0002] Before a chip is shipped, it needs to go through multiple stages including design, manufacturing and testing. Usually during testing, the chip needs to be temperature controlled to ensure the accuracy of the production process or the test data.
[0003] At present, electronic testing equipment uses the temperature confrontation between the heat exchange component for cooling and the heating element to control the chip temperature. Generally, a spiral channel is set inside the heat exchange component, and the refrigerant flows from the outer circle of the spiral channel to the center, and then flows from the center to the outer circle outlet. In this process, the temperature of the refrigerant will gradually increase after the heat exchange with the chip, making the temperature in the center of the flow channel higher than the temperature in the outer circle. This is inconsistent with the distribution state that the heating temperature in the center area of the chip is higher and the temperature in the periphery is lower, which is not conducive to the effective temperature control requirements of the chip and has an adverse effect on the performance test of the chip.

[0043] This application proposes a new heat exchange component to solve the problem that the flow channel structure distribution of the relevant heat exchange component does not match the chip temperature distribution, resulting in the inability to effectively control the chip temperature. The heat exchange component of the embodiment of this application is introduced in detail below.
[0044] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heat exchange assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first channel layer 10A, a second channel layer 10B and a liquid outlet channel C. The first channel layer 10A includes a plurality of liquid inlet channels A1 that are independent of each other. The first channel layer 10A has a liquid outlet area A2. Each liquid inlet channel A1 includes a liquid outlet hole A3 located in the liquid outlet area A2. The second channel layer 10B is located on one side of the first channel layer 10A. The second channel layer 10B has a liquid inlet area B1, which corresponds to the liquid outlet area A2. The second flow channel layer 10B includes a plurality of flow shunt groups B2 that are independent of each other, each flow shunt group B2 includes a plurality of heat exchange flow channels B2b that are sequentially arranged adjacent to each other around the liquid inlet area B1, each heat exchange flow channel B2b includes a liquid inlet hole b1 located in the liquid inlet area B1, and a liquid outlet hole A3 of each liquid inlet flow channel A1 is connected to a plurality of liquid inlet ends of the corresponding flow shunt group B2, so that each liquid inlet flow channel A1 supplies liquid to a plurality of heat exchange flow channels B2b in the corresponding flow shunt group B2. Each flow shunt group B2 is connected to a liquid outlet flow channel C.
[0045] The inlet flow channel A1 is connected to the medium source, and is used for the heat exchange medium provided by the medium source to enter the heat exchange component 10. The outlet flow channel C is connected to the outside, and is used to discharge the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange component 10. The inlet flow channel A1 and the outlet flow channel C can be straight channels, curved channels, etc. The heat exchange medium is a flowable substance in liquid, gas, or a mixture of gas and liquid used for heating or cooling.
[0046] Typically but not limited to, the liquid outlet area A2 is located in the middle of the first flow channel layer 10A. The liquid outlet holes A3 of all the liquid inlet flow channels A1 are located in the liquid outlet area A2. Each liquid inlet flow channel A1 may include one or more liquid outlet holes A3, one end of each liquid outlet hole A3 is connected to the liquid inlet flow channel A1, and the other end is used to supply fluid to the heat exchange flow channel B2b in the second flow channel layer 10B.
[0047] Usually, the second flow channel layer 10B is located on one side in the thickness direction of the first flow channel layer 10A, and the second flow channel layer 10B mainly plays a role in medium diversion. Specifically, the second flow channel layer 10B has a liquid inlet area B1, and the liquid inlet area B1 is usually arranged in the middle of the second flow channel layer 10B. The liquid outlet area A2 is arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet area B1, which usually means that in the arrangement direction of the first flow channel layer 10A and the second flow channel layer 10B, the orthographic projection of the liquid outlet area A2 intersects with the orthographic projection of the liquid inlet area B1. Among them, the liquid outlet hole A3 can be directly connected to the liquid inlet hole b1, or it can be connected through other intermediate channels. Usually, the arrangement of the liquid outlet area A2 and the liquid inlet area B1 can make all the liquid inlet channels A1 concentrated in one area for liquid discharge, and all the heat exchange channels B2b concentrated in one area for liquid inlet.
[0048] The second flow channel layer 10B includes multiple groups of diversion groups B2, each of which includes multiple heat exchange channels B2b, and the multiple heat exchange channels B2b of each diversion group B2 are arranged around the liquid inlet area B1. Usually, all the heat exchange channels B2b are arranged around the liquid inlet area B1, and each heat exchange channel B2b is connected to the liquid outlet A3 of the first flow channel layer 10A through its liquid inlet hole b1 located in the liquid inlet area B1, so as to realize the diversion of the heat exchange medium flowing into the heat exchange component 10, so that the heat exchange medium is evenly distributed. In one example, the multiple heat exchange channels B2b of each group of diversion groups B2 are concentrated in one area, and the distribution areas of the heat exchange channels B2b of different diversion groups B2 are different, and all the distribution areas are arranged around the liquid inlet area B1. In another example, the heat exchange channels B2b of other diversion groups B2 are arranged between the heat exchange channels B2b in each group of diversion groups B2. The arrangement of the heat exchange channels B2b in each flow distribution group B2 can be flexibly set according to the requirements. Generally, the minimum flow rate of each heat exchange channel B2b is the same, so that the heat exchange medium flow distribution is more uniform.
[0049] The liquid outlet channel C can be distributed to the second channel layer 10B, can also be distributed to the first channel layer 10A, can also be distributed to the third channel layer outside the first channel layer 10A and the second channel layer 10B, and the specific arrangement of the liquid outlet channel C can be flexibly set according to needs. The liquid outlet channel C can be connected to the circulation loop of the medium source with the liquid inlet, and can also be connected to a collection container different from the medium source.
[0050] The multiple heat exchange channels B2b of each flow branch group B2 can be connected to the liquid outlet channel C independently, or can be connected to the liquid outlet flow after converging. All heat exchange channels B2b of all flow branch groups B2 can be connected to the same liquid outlet channel C. Each flow branch group B2 can be connected to a different liquid outlet channel C. The number of liquid outlet channels C can be one or more.
[0051] In actual application, the heat exchange medium enters the heat exchange component 10 through the liquid inlet channel A1 of the first channel layer 10A, and then is diverted by the heat exchange channels B2b of the second channel layer 10B, so that the heat exchange medium is dispersed around the liquid inlet area B1 with the liquid inlet area B1 as the center. The heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange channel B2b of the second channel layer 10B close to the liquid inlet area B1 is relatively high. In contrast, the farther the heat exchange channel B2b is from the liquid inlet area B1, the gradually lower the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange medium flowing therein. When the heat exchange component 10 is used to cool electronic components such as chips, the area close to the liquid inlet area B1 in the second flow channel layer 10B can perform high-intensity heat exchange on the middle area of the chip, thereby effectively reducing the temperature in the middle of the chip, and the area away from the liquid inlet area B1 in the second flow channel layer 10B can perform low-intensity heat exchange on the peripheral area of the chip. In this way, the temperature field distribution of the second flow channel layer 10B is adapted to the temperature field distribution in which the temperature in the middle of the chip is high and the peripheral temperature is low, which can evenly cool the chip, realize effective temperature control of the chip, and is beneficial to the performance testing of the chip.
[0052] Moreover, in actual application, heat exchange medium can be selectively introduced into all or part of the liquid inlet channel A1 to change the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange component 10, so that the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange component 10 can be adaptively matched with the power size of the electronic component, thereby achieving better heat exchange effect while saving energy.
[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The liquid outlet flow channel C includes multiple, and each flow branch group B2 is connected to a different liquid outlet flow channel C. The connected liquid inlet flow channel A1, flow branch group B2 and liquid outlet flow channel C constitute a medium flow path, and each medium flow path is used to connect different medium sources.
[0054] Typically, but not limited to, a medium flow path includes an inlet flow channel A1, a group of branch groups B2, and an outlet flow channel C. The inlet flow channel A1 and the outlet flow channel C in the same medium flow path are used to connect to the circulation loop of the same medium source. The inlet flow channels A1 in different medium flow paths are used to connect to different medium sources.
[0055] In actual applications, for electronic components with different temperature control requirements (such as chips with different heating powers), different medium sources can be used to provide heat exchange media with different temperatures to the heat exchange component 10 to achieve different degrees of temperature control.
[0056] In some cases, heat exchange medium can be provided to each medium flow path through multiple medium sources. In this case, heat exchange medium flows through each flow branch group B2. The heat exchange area of the heat exchange component 10 is large and the heat exchange capacity is strong, which can be applied to scenes with large temperature control requirements. In other cases, only part of the medium flow path can be connected to the medium source. In this case, heat exchange medium flows through only part of the flow branch group B2. The heat exchange area of the heat exchange component 10 is small and the heat exchange capacity is weak, which can be applied to scenes with small temperature control requirements.
[0057] In this way, the heat exchange assembly 10 has more diverse usages and better adaptability.
[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heat exchange component 10 also includes a guide rib 13a, which is disposed in the heat exchange channel B2b and divides the heat exchange channel B2b into a plurality of flow segments b2, and each flow segment b2 is sequentially connected to form a tortuously extending channel.
[0059] The guide rib 13a is usually arranged in a strip shape, and two flow segments b2 separated by the guide rib 13a are arranged adjacent to each other in the thickness direction of the guide rib 13a. Each flow segment b2 is connected in sequence to form a zigzag flow channel, which can extend the flow time of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange flow channel B2b and improve the utilization rate of the heat exchange medium.
[0060] Specifically in the embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 All the guide ribs 13a in each heat exchange channel B2b are arranged in sequence along the corresponding preset direction and extend longitudinally in a direction intersecting the preset direction. One longitudinal end of each two adjacent guide ribs 13a is respectively connected to two opposite inner walls of the heat exchange channel B2b, and the other longitudinal end of each guide rib 13a is spaced from the inner wall of the heat exchange channel B2b.
[0061] The preset direction may refer to the direction from the inlet end of the heat exchange channel B2b to its outlet end. The liquid inlet hole b1 of the heat exchange channel B2b is located at its inlet end, and the preset directions corresponding to the guide ribs 13a located in different heat exchange channels B2b are different. In a specific example, the inlet end of the heat exchange channel B2b is located at the liquid inlet area B1, and all the heat exchange channels B2b extend radially relative to the liquid inlet area B1.
[0062] Generally, the longitudinal direction of the guide rib 13a is substantially perpendicular to the preset direction. The longitudinal directions of the guide ribs 13a are substantially parallel. Adjacent guide ribs 13a are spaced to form flow segments b2. Each flow segment b2 extends substantially along the longitudinal direction of the guide rib 13a.
[0063] One end of each guide rib 13a in the longitudinal direction is a first end, and the other end is a second end. The first end of each guide rib 13a is connected to the inside of the heat exchange flow channel B2b, and the second end of each guide rib 13a is spaced from the heat exchange flow channel B2b to form a conducting port connected to the adjacent flow segment b2. The two first ends of two adjacent guide ribs 13a are respectively connected to two inner walls of the heat exchange flow channel B2b that are opposite to each other to form a zigzag extending flow channel.
[0064] At this time, each guide rib 13a blocks the straight path of the heat exchange medium flowing directly from the inlet end of the heat exchange channel B2b to the outlet end of the heat exchange channel B2b, which can effectively slow down the flow speed of the heat exchange medium, extend the flow time of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange channel B2b, and improve the utilization rate of the heat exchange medium.
[0065] Specifically in the embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The length of each flow segment b2 is set to increase from the inlet end of the heat exchange flow channel B2b to the outlet end of the heat exchange flow channel B2b.
[0066] The length of the flow segment b2 refers to its dimension in the longitudinal direction of the corresponding guide rib 13a. Since the length of the flow segment b2 increases from the inlet end of the heat exchange flow channel B2b to the outlet end of the heat exchange flow channel B2b, the flow area of the heat exchange flow channel B2b can be set to increase from its inlet end to its outlet end. The heat exchange flow channel B2b can be roughly fan-shaped, triangular, etc.
[0067] At this time, the heat exchange medium is dispersed in a larger range from the liquid inlet hole b1 to the periphery of the liquid inlet area B1, and the heat exchange area of the heat exchange channel B2b is larger, which helps to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange component 10.
[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heat exchange component 10 further includes a liquid separator column 13b, which is disposed in the flow segment b2 to separate the flow segment b2 into a plurality of microchannels that are interconnected.
[0069] Specifically, a plurality of liquid separation columns 13b are provided in each flow section b2, and each liquid separation column 13b is spaced apart from each other. Usually, but not limited to, each liquid separation column 13b is cylindrical, conical, or the like.
[0070] At this time, a separator column 13b is set in the flow section b2. The microchannels formed between the separator columns 13b can further make the heat exchange medium evenly distributed. In addition, the outer surface of the separator column 13b increases the contact area between the heat exchange component 10 and the heat exchange medium, which helps to improve the utilization rate of the heat exchange medium and further improve the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange component 10.
[0071] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 3 to 5 Each liquid inlet channel A1 includes a plurality of liquid outlet holes A3, and the plurality of liquid outlet holes A3 of the same liquid inlet channel A1 are connected one by one with the plurality of liquid inlet holes b1 of the corresponding flow distribution group B2.
[0072] It can be understood that each flow branch group B2 includes a plurality of heat exchange channels B2b, and each heat exchange channel B2b includes at least one liquid inlet hole b1, so each flow branch group B2 includes a plurality of liquid inlet holes b1. Each liquid inlet hole b1 is connected to a liquid outlet hole A3 of a corresponding liquid inlet channel A1 in a one-to-one correspondence. Usually, each heat exchange channel B2b has a liquid inlet hole b1, and the number of liquid outlet holes A3 is consistent with the number of liquid inlet holes b1 in each group of flow branch groups B2.
[0073] In this way, each liquid inlet flow channel A1 can be diverted to multiple liquid inlet holes b1 through multiple liquid outlet holes A3 at the same time, and the diversion of the heat exchange medium is more uniform.
[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The liquid outlet channel C includes a first liquid outlet channel C1 located in the first channel layer 10A, the first channel layer 10A includes a first confluence channel A4 connected to the first liquid outlet channel C1, and a confluence hole A5 is provided in the first confluence channel A4. The flow group B2 includes a first flow group B21, and the outlet ends of all the heat exchange channels B2b of the first flow group B21 are connected to the first confluence channel A4 via the confluence hole A5.
[0075] It is understandable that at least one confluence hole A5 is provided at the outlet end of each heat exchange channel B2b in the first flow group B21 to converge the heat exchange medium in each independent heat exchange channel B2b in the first flow group B21 into the first confluence channel A4. The first liquid outlet channel C1 is used to communicate with an external medium source or a container for collecting heat exchange medium.
[0076] At this time, the outlet ends of the heat exchange channels B2b in the first flow group B21 on the second flow channel layer 10B are connected to the first flow channel A4 through the confluence hole A5 on the first flow channel layer 10A, and then connected to the first liquid outlet channel C1 through the first flow channel A4. In this way, the liquid outlet solution of the first flow group B21 can be arranged by using the structure of the first flow channel layer 10A, and the structure of the heat exchange component 10 can be more compact.
[0077] The number of the first flow distribution groups B21 can be one or more. If the number of the first flow distribution groups B21 is more than one, the multiple first flow distribution groups B21 can be connected to the same first flow confluence channel A4 through the corresponding confluence holes A5.
[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The liquid outlet channel C includes a second liquid outlet channel C2 located in the second channel layer 10B, the second channel layer 10B includes a second confluence channel B3 connected to the second liquid outlet channel C2, and the second confluence channel B3 is arranged around the outlet ends of all heat exchange channels B2b. The flow group B2 includes a second flow group B22, and the outlet ends of all heat exchange channels B2b of the second flow group B22 have a confluence port b4 connected to the second confluence channel B3.
[0079] At least one confluence port b4 is provided at the outlet end of each heat exchange flow channel B2b in the second flow branch group B22, and is connected to the peripheral second confluence flow channel B3 through the confluence port b4. Usually, the confluence port b4 is arranged at the tail end of the flow segment b2 farthest from the liquid inlet area B1, so that the flow path formed by multiple flow segments b2 is the longest.
[0080] The heat exchange medium in each heat exchange channel B2b of the second branch group B22 converges into the second converging channel B3 through its confluence port b4, then flows to the second liquid outlet channel C2, and finally flows to an external medium source or a container for collecting the heat exchange medium.
[0081] In actual application, the second flow channel layer 10B is utilized for heat exchange contact with electronic components such as chips. At this time, a liquid outlet scheme of the second diversion group B22 is arranged on the second flow channel layer 10B, which increases the flow path and flow time of the heat exchange medium on the second flow channel layer 10B and improves the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange component 10.
[0082] The number of the second flow distribution groups B22 can be one or more. If the number of the second flow distribution groups B22 is more than one, the multiple second flow distribution groups B22 can be connected to the same second confluence channel B3 through the confluence port b4.
[0083] In practical applications, the first liquid outlet channel C1 and the second liquid outlet channel C2 may be connected to the same medium source or the same collection container, or may be connected to different medium sources or different collection containers.
[0084] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 In each flow branch group B2, every two adjacent heat exchange channels B2b are separated by the heat exchange channels B2b of the remaining flow branch groups B2. For example, the heat exchange assembly 10 includes a first flow branch group B21 and a second flow branch group B22, and every two adjacent heat exchange channels B2b of the first flow branch group B21 are separated by a heat exchange channel B2b of the second flow branch group B22, and every two adjacent heat exchange channels B2b of the second flow branch group B22 are separated by an adjacent heat exchange channel B2b of the first flow branch group B21.
[0085] Since every two adjacent heat exchange channels B2b are separated by the heat exchange channels B2b of the remaining flow branch groups B2, the heat exchange channels B2b in each flow branch group B2 can be evenly distributed around the liquid inlet area B1.
[0086] Thus, when one of the flow-dividing groups B2 is activated to circulate the heat exchange medium, the heat exchange uniformity of the heat exchange component 10 is better because the heat exchange channels B2b in each of the flow-dividing groups B2 are spaced apart and evenly arranged around the liquid inlet area B1.
[0087] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heat exchange component 10 includes a plurality of flow dividing walls 13c disposed in the second channel layer 10B. The plurality of flow dividing walls 13c surround and form each heat exchange channel B2b, and each two adjacent heat exchange channels B2b share a flow dividing wall 13c.
[0088] The common diverter wall 13c of the heat exchange flow channel B2b usually extends outward from the liquid inlet area B1. The wall surface of the diverter wall 13c forms the inner wall of the heat exchange flow channel B2b. It can be understood that the heat exchange flow channel B2b can be formed by surrounding a plurality of diverter walls 13c, and adjacent heat exchange flow channels B2b can only share part of the diverter wall 13c.
[0089] At this time, the common flow dividing wall 13c between the adjacent heat exchange channels B2b can improve the area utilization rate of the second channel layer 10B and increase the heat exchange area.
[0090] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3The heat exchange assembly 10 includes a cover plate 11, an intermediate plate 12 and a bottom plate 13. The first flow channel layer 10A is arranged on one side of the middle plate 12 and covered by the cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 is provided with a liquid inlet interface 11a and a liquid outlet interface 11b. The liquid inlet interface 11a is connected to the liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet flow channel A1, and the liquid outlet interface 11b is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet flow channel C. The second flow channel layer 10B is arranged on one side of the bottom plate 13 and covered by the intermediate plate 12.
[0091] Specifically, the cover plate 11, the middle plate 12 and the bottom plate 13 are stacked to form the heat exchange assembly 10. In the stacking direction, the middle plate 12 is located between the cover plate 11 and the bottom plate 13. The first flow channel layer 10A is arranged on the middle plate 12, and a concave structure can be formed on the middle plate 12 to form each flow channel and the liquid outlet A3 in the first flow channel layer 10A. The cover plate 11 is covered on the middle plate 12 to close the first flow channel layer 10A. The second flow channel layer 10B is arranged on the bottom plate 13, and a concave structure can be formed on the bottom plate 13 to form each flow channel and the liquid inlet b1 in the second flow channel layer 10B, and the middle plate 12 is covered on the bottom plate 13 to close the second flow channel layer 10B.
[0092] In this way, the processing of the first flow channel layer 10A and the second flow channel layer 10B is more convenient, and the heat exchange component 10 is easy to process and manufacture.
[0093] The liquid inlet interface 11a is used to communicate with the medium source, so as to allow the heat exchange medium to enter the heat exchange component 10. The liquid outlet interface 11b can be used to communicate with the medium source, so as to allow the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange component 10 to flow back to the medium source.
[0094] It is understandable that the specific formation method of the first flow channel layer 10A and the second flow channel layer 10B is not limited to the above scheme, and those skilled in the art can make conventional settings.
[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 2 to 5 The heat exchange assembly 10 includes a cover plate 11, an intermediate plate 12 and a bottom plate 13. The side of the intermediate plate 12 facing the cover plate 11 is recessed to form a first flow channel layer 10A. The first flow channel layer 10A includes two liquid inlet channels A1, a first confluence channel A4 and a first liquid outlet channel C1. The two liquid inlet channels A1 are both provided with liquid outlet holes A3 in the liquid outlet area A2 of the first flow channel layer 10A. The side of the bottom plate 13 facing the intermediate plate 12 is recessed to form a second flow channel layer 10B. The second flow channel layer 10B includes a first flow distribution group B21, a second flow confluence channel B3 of a second liquid distribution group and a second liquid outlet channel C2.
[0096] The second flow channel layer 10B has a liquid inlet area B1 arranged corresponding to the liquid outlet area A2. The heat exchange flow channels B2b of the first flow group B21 and the heat exchange flow channels B2b of the second flow group are arranged around the liquid inlet area B1 of the second flow channel layer 10B. Each heat exchange flow channel B2b has a liquid inlet hole b1 located in the liquid inlet area B1. Each liquid inlet hole b1 of the first flow group B21 is connected to the liquid outlet hole A3 of one of the liquid inlet flow channels A1 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each liquid inlet hole b1 of the second flow group B22 is connected to the liquid outlet hole A3 of another liquid inlet flow channel A1 in a one-to-one correspondence. The first flow channel layer 10A also includes a confluence hole A5 arranged on the middle plate 12, and each heat exchange flow channel B2b of the first flow group B21 is connected to the first confluence area through the confluence hole A5. The second flow channel layer 10B includes a notch q provided on the bottom plate 13, and the notch q serves as a confluence port b4 to connect the outlet end of the heat exchange flow channel B2b and the second confluence channel B3. A transition hole is provided on the middle plate 12, and the first liquid outlet flow channel C1 is connected to the liquid outlet interface 11b on the cover plate 11, and the second liquid outlet flow channel C2 is connected to another liquid outlet interface 11b on the cover plate 11 through the transition hole. The first confluence channel A4 is arranged around the liquid outlet area A2, and the first liquid outlet flow channel C1 and the two liquid inlet flow channels A1 are arranged on different sides of the first flow channel layer 10A.
[0097] In actual application, different heat exchange media are introduced into the two liquid inlet channels A1, and the heat exchange medium of one of the liquid inlet channels A1 is diverted through the heat exchange channel B2b of the first diversion group B21, and then flows through the first converging channel A4 and the first liquid outlet channel C1, and finally discharged from the heat exchange component 10, wherein the heat exchange medium of the other liquid inlet channel A1 is diverted through the heat exchange channel B2b of the second diversion group B22, and then flows through the second converging channel B3 and the second liquid outlet channel C2, and finally discharged from the heat exchange component 10. When the required heat exchange amount is low, only one of the liquid inlet channels A1 and the diversion group B2 can be enabled, and when the required heat exchange amount is high, both liquid inlet channels A1 and the diversion group B2 can be enabled, so that the heat exchange component of the present application can select the heat exchange capacity according to different heat exchange requirements.
[0098] In addition, the embodiment of the present application further provides a pressure head structure, which is used for crimping temperature-controlled electronic components, and includes the heat exchange component 10 in any of the above embodiments. In some application scenarios, the pressure head structure may only include the heat exchange component 10, in which case the second flow channel layer 10B of the heat exchange component 10 can be directly used to contact the electronic component to control its temperature. Of course, in some examples, the pressure head structure may also include a heating element, which is arranged on the side of the second flow channel layer 10B away from the first flow channel layer 10A, and a cooling medium can flow through the heat exchange component 10. The coldness of the cooling medium counteracts the heat generated by the heating element, and the temperature of the electronic component is controlled together. At this time, the heating element can be crimped onto the electronic component, and the heat of the second flow channel layer 10B is transferred to the electronic component through the heating element.
[0099] In addition, the embodiment of the present application also provides a test device, including a test module and the above-mentioned pressure head structure, the pressure head structure is used to press the electronic component onto the test module for testing. Among them, the test module is used to perform performance testing on the electronic component, and the specific type is not limited.
