Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation, in particular to a copper and aluminum composite heat dissipation structure. Background Art
[0002] As a core component of new energy vehicles, the performance of the electric drive system directly affects the power, economy and reliability of the entire vehicle.
[0003] In the electric drive system, the power module is a crucial component that is responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. However, since the power module generates a lot of heat during operation, if the heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the module temperature will rise, which will affect its performance and life.
[0004] In the design of the existing liquid cooling system for power modules, the mainstream heat dissipation structure in the industry currently adopts copper or aluminum. Therefore, when choosing a radiator, it is often necessary to choose between strong heat dissipation capacity and low cost. Relatively speaking, copper has stronger heat dissipation capacity, but higher cost and lower mechanical strength; aluminum has relatively weaker heat dissipation capacity, but lower cost and higher mechanical strength. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a copper and aluminum composite heat dissipation structure in order to overcome at least one of the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, and the heat dissipation structure can increase the strength while the heat dissipation capacity remains basically unchanged.
[0006] Aluminum alloys have high thermal (electrical) conductivity, light weight, high strength, good ductility, electromagnetic wave shielding rate and other characteristics, and are easy to process and form. They have superior characteristics to high-conductivity and high-conductivity copper alloys. With the rapid development of industry and changes in consumer demand, they are widely cross-utilized. In some occasions, it is necessary to connect aluminum alloys and copper alloys to form a composite structure for special performance requirements, which can reduce the weight of the structure and save materials. In particular, copper alloys have been widely used at present. Since aluminum alloys are lighter than copper alloys but cheaper, aluminum alloys as structural materials will inevitably involve connections with copper alloys.
[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] A copper and aluminum composite heat dissipation structure, comprising:
[0009] Aluminum sheet;
[0010] A cover plate installed on the heat dissipation surface of the aluminum plate, which is enclosed with the aluminum plate to form a sealed cavity;
[0011] A plurality of heat dissipation areas are arranged at intervals in the sealed cavity, and two adjacent heat dissipation areas are connected;
[0012] The heat dissipation module is arranged in the heat dissipation area, and a plurality of copper heat dissipation pins are arranged in an array on the upper surface thereof.
[0013] Among them, the aluminum plate is the base plate, which plays the role of the main supporting structure in the heat dissipation structure.
[0014] Furthermore, an inlet hole and an outlet hole are respectively provided at both ends of the aluminum plate, and the sealed cavity is located between the inlet hole and the outlet hole; the inlet hole and the outlet hole are respectively connected to the sealed cavity.
[0015] Furthermore, an embedding groove is arranged around the heat dissipation area, and an embedding protrusion matching the embedding groove is arranged around the heat dissipation module; the embedding protrusion is embedded in the embedding groove.
[0016] Furthermore, the interlocking protrusions are connected by welding.
[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of power module installation areas are arranged at intervals on the back side of the heat dissipation surface of the aluminum plate, and the positions of the power module installation areas are opposite to the positions of the heat dissipation areas.
[0018] Furthermore, the area of the power module installation region is not larger than the area of the heat dissipation region.
[0019] Furthermore, the plurality of heat dissipation areas are arranged at equal intervals.
[0020] Furthermore, there are at least three heat dissipation areas.
[0021] Further, the shape of the copper heat dissipation pin is one or more of cylindrical, flat, T-shaped or L-shaped. Preferably, the shape of the copper heat dissipation pin is cylindrical or flat.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a heat dissipation structure of a copper-aluminum composite. The main supporting structure of the heat dissipation structure is an aluminum plate, and the heat dissipation pins of the heat dissipation module are copper heat dissipation pins. Compared with the heat dissipation structure made entirely of copper, the heat dissipation structure of the utility model has basically the same heat dissipation capacity, and is lighter and less expensive; compared with the heat dissipation structure made entirely of aluminum, the heat dissipation structure of the utility model has better heat dissipation performance.
