As the key equipment to solve this problem, the performance of the chip heat sink directly affects the stability and service life of the chip.

[0003] At present, common chip air-cooled radiators are mainly classified into single-tower and multi-tower types according to the number of cooling fin groups. Among them, air-cooled radiators are widely used due to their simple structure and easy maintenance. However, there is still room for improvement in the heat dissipation efficiency of existing air-cooled radiators. Especially for single-tower air-cooled radiators, due to the relatively small number of fin groups and small heat dissipation power, it is difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-performance chips; however, due to its small mass, it has good anti-drop ability during transportation. Although the multi-tower air-cooled radiator has a large heat dissipation power, it has a poor anti-drop ability due to its large mass and the fin group often only relies on heat pipes for positioning and support, which makes it easy to be damaged during transportation.

[0016] The utility model is further configured that the first fan and the second fan rotate in opposite directions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0029] This embodiment relates to a single-tower dual-fan radiator. Figure 1-Figure 4 , including a base 20, a heat pipe 10, a heat dissipation fin group 30 and a fan 40.

[0030] The heat sink fin group 30 has a hollow installation channel 31. The fan 40 includes a first fan 41 and a second fan 42. The first fan 41 is installed on an outer side of the heat sink fin group 30, and the second fan 42 is placed in the installation channel 31 and arranged parallel to the first fan 41. The first air inlet surface 411 of the first fan 41 faces away from the heat sink fin group 30, and the first air outlet surface 412 faces toward the heat sink fin group 30. The second air inlet surface 421 of the second fan 42 faces toward the first air outlet surface 412 of the first fan 41, and the second air outlet surface 422 faces away from the first air outlet surface 412 of the first fan 41. When the radiator is working, the first fan 41 blows air toward the cooling fin group 30, taking away the heat of the cooling fin group 30, achieving the cooling effect. Then, the second air inlet surface 421 of the second fan 42 in the installation channel 31 inhales the air blown by the first fan 41, and blows it out from the second air outlet surface 422. The air passes through the other side of the cooling fin group 30, and finally blows out from the gap of the cooling fin group 30, further improving the cooling effect and meeting the cooling requirements of high-performance chips. It should be emphasized that in this embodiment, the second air inlet surface 421 of the second fan 42 not only inhales the air blown by the first fan 41, but also inhales the air coming in from other directions of the outside world. It should be emphasized that in this embodiment, part of the wind blown by the first air outlet surface 412 of the first fan 41 flows to the second air inlet surface 421 of the second fan 42, and the other part flows to other directions of the cooling fin group 30.

[0031] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 A cover plate 32 is provided on one end of the heat dissipation fin group 30 away from the base 20; the second fan 42 is installed on the cover plate 32. The setting of the cover plate 32 can provide a stable installation platform for the second fan 42, ensure that the second fan 42 remains stable when running at high speed, reduce vibration, ensure that the second fan 42 and the first fan 41 remain on the same horizontal plane, which is conducive to forming an efficient air flow channel, guiding the wind blown by the first fan 41 to flow more concentratedly to the second fan 42, and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 A mounting plate 321 extending into the mounting channel 31 for mounting the second fan 42 is provided on the surface of the cover plate 32 facing the base 20. The mounting plate 321 provides a precise mounting position for the second fan 42.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first mounting hole 3211 is provided on the mounting plate 321, and a second mounting hole 423 corresponding to the first mounting hole 3211 is provided on the second fan 42. The corresponding design of the first mounting hole 3211 and the second mounting hole 423 ensures that the second fan 42 can be accurately installed at the predetermined position. Specifically in this embodiment, the first mounting hole 3211 and the second mounting hole 423 are fixed by screws passing through the two holes. In other embodiments, the first mounting hole 3211 and the second mounting hole 423 can also be fixed by other fasteners.

[0034] Specifically in this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 The second fan 42 is provided with a positioning protrusion 4231 which is located around the second mounting hole 423 and protrudes outward. The positioning protrusion 4231 corresponds to the first mounting hole 3211 of the mounting plate 321, so that when the second fan 42 is mounted on the cover plate 32, the second mounting hole 423 limits the first mounting hole 3211, which is convenient for fixed connection.

[0035] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 There are two mounting plates 321 , which are arranged diagonally, thereby enhancing the stability of the installation of the second fan 42 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 321 is formed by bending a part of the structure of the cover plate 32 , and the integrated design of the cover plate 32 and the mounting plate 321 simplifies the manufacturing process.

[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3-Figure 5 The heat pipe 10 extends from one end of the heat dissipation fin group 30 close to the cover plate 32. The cover plate 32 is provided with a positioning hole 322 corresponding to the heat pipe 10. The cover plate 32 is installed on the heat pipe 10 through the positioning hole 322 by interference fit. The interference fit installation design between the heat pipe 10 and the cover plate 32 improves the heat conduction efficiency, reduces the connection components, and reduces the cost.

[0038] Specifically in this embodiment, the cover plate 32 is a heat dissipation fin. Using the cover plate 32 as a heat dissipation fin not only increases the heat dissipation area but also reduces the manufacturing cost. In other embodiments, the cover plate can be other heat-conducting materials.

[0039] In this embodiment, the installation channel 31 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In other embodiments, the installation channel 31 may also be in other shapes.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first fan 41 and the second fan 42 are both the same in shape and size, but the thickness of the second fan 42 is smaller than the thickness of the second fan 42 and smaller than the width of the installation channel 31, so that the second fan 42 can be placed in the installation channel 31. In other embodiments, the first fan 41 and the second fan 42 may also be different in shape and size.

[0041] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 , the first fan 41 rotates in opposite directions to the second fan 42. When the cold air passes through one side of the heat sink fin group through the first fan 41, since the bending direction of the blades of the second fan 42 is opposite to that of the blades of the first fan 41, the direction of rotation is opposite, resulting in more air directly contacting the working surface of the blades of the second fan 42 and blowing toward the other side of the heat sink fin group. As a result, more air can pass through the second fan 42 and blow toward the heat sink fin group, significantly improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the blades of the first fan 41 and the second fan 42 are both forward-swept wings or swept wings, and the bending directions of the two are opposite, which can further optimize the direction and speed of the airflow and reduce the mutual interference between the airflows. The forward-swept wing or swept wing design helps to maintain the stability of the airflow, and the opposite bending directions ensure that the airflow can enter and discharge more orderly when passing through the heat sink fin group 30, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. In other embodiments, the blades of the first fan 41 and the second fan 42 are one forward-swept wing and the other swept wing, and the two have the same bending direction. Such a combination can achieve complementary airflow characteristics. The forward-swept wing design provides strong airflow acceleration, while the swept wing maintains a stable airflow output. Together, they can cover the heat dissipation area more comprehensively and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first fan 41 and the second fan 42 may rotate in the same direction.

[0044] The working principle of the present invention is roughly as follows: when the radiator is working, the first fan 41 blows air to the cooling fin group 30, taking away the heat of the cooling fin group 30, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect. Then, the second air inlet surface 421 of the second fan 42 installed in the channel 31 inhales the air blown by the first fan 41 and blows it out from the second air outlet surface 422. The air passes through the other side of the cooling fin group 30 and is finally blown out from the gap of the cooling fin group 30, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect. Compared with the traditional single-tower radiator, a dual-fan design is adopted, which makes the air flow rate between the cooling fin group 30 higher, the air temperature difference between the fins is larger, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher, and the heat dissipation requirements of high-performance chips can be met. Compared with the traditional multi-tower radiator, there is only a single tower, the mass is smaller, the drop test performance is better, and the risk of damage during transportation is smaller. Therefore, without significantly increasing the weight of the radiator, the heat dissipation effect of the radiator is further improved, which can meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-performance chips.

[0045] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
