Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a liquid cooling plate and a photovoltaic panel using the liquid cooling plate. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic devices can convert solar radiation into electrical energy and are a clean and efficient power generation device;

[0003] Since photovoltaic panels are often placed close to the ground in settings, the photovoltaic device will generate higher temperatures when in operation. The temperature on the side close to the ground is not easy to dissipate, which may cause the photovoltaic device to overheat or even cause a fire.

[0004] In order to cool down the photovoltaic panel, the existing method is to set a cooling structure on the photovoltaic panel, as described in the patent document of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220359126U.

[0005] Although this cooling structure can achieve the effect of cooling the photovoltaic panel, the heat dissipation through the cooling fan not only generates noise, but also has a relatively low heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a liquid cooling plate and a technical solution for a photovoltaic panel using the liquid cooling plate to address the deficiencies in the prior art. Using the liquid cooling plate to cool the photovoltaic panel is not only quieter, but also has higher heat dissipation efficiency.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A liquid cooling plate, comprising

[0009] An upper cover plate and a lower cover plate, wherein a cavity for cooling liquid to flow through is formed between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate;

[0010] The surface of the lower cover plate is provided with a liquid inlet joint for the coolant to enter the cavity and a liquid outlet joint for the coolant to flow out; the liquid inlet joint corresponds to the bottom of the cavity and is used for the coolant to enter from the bottom of the cavity; the liquid outlet joint corresponds to the top of the cavity and is used for the coolant to flow out from the top of the cavity.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the coolant will enter the cavity of the liquid cooling plate from the liquid inlet joint at the bottom, and then flow out from the liquid outlet joint at the top. Under the action of gravity, the coolant flows more slowly, which can better exchange heat with the photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency; using this liquid cooling plate to cool the photovoltaic panel can have a higher heat dissipation effect; at the same time, since the liquid cooling plate achieves cooling by transmitting coolant and exchanging heat with the photovoltaic panel, the noise it generates is significantly reduced compared to the fan, which can achieve a quieter purpose.

[0012] Furthermore, the liquid inlet joint is formed at the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the lower cover plate, and the liquid outlet joint is formed at the upper right corner or the upper left corner of the lower cover plate; the liquid inlet joint and the liquid outlet joint are arranged diagonally.

[0013] Furthermore, a side pressure structure is provided around the cavity, and the side pressure structure is sealed between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the side pressure structure includes a first side pressure and a second side pressure, one side of the first side pressure is provided with a tenon or a tenon groove, the second side pressure is provided with a tenon groove or a tenon adapted to the tenon or the tenon groove, and the first side pressure and the second side pressure are connected through the cooperation of the tenon and the tenon groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the edge pressure structure is connected to the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate by welding.

[0016] Furthermore, a potassium fluoroaluminate layer is provided on one side of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate close to the edge pressure structure.

[0017] Furthermore, fins are provided in the cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, the fin height is 1 to 10 mm.

[0019] A photovoltaic panel is provided with any one of the above-mentioned liquid cooling plates, wherein the liquid cooling plate is connected to the back side of the photovoltaic panel.

[0020] Furthermore, the upper cover plate and the photovoltaic panel are connected by welding.

[0021] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0022] 1. The utility model can not only cool down the photovoltaic panels more quietly, but also has a higher heat dissipation effect;

[0023] 2. The edge pressure structure of the utility model has high structural stability and can seal the four sides of the liquid cooling plate;

[0024] 3. The utility model has fins in the cavity, which can disturb the coolant and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency between the coolant and the photovoltaic panel;

[0025] 4. The upper cover plate and the lower cover plate of the utility model are both provided with a potassium fluoroaluminate layer, which improves the corrosion resistance of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate. At the same time, the potassium fluoroaluminate layer also improves the welding quality of the upper cover plate, the lower cover plate and the edge pressure structure.

[0042] The edge pressing structure 3 seals the gap between the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 at all sides, thereby forming a cavity 7 for the coolant to flow through between the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2. Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown;

[0044] When the liquid cooling plate is applied to the back of the photovoltaic panel, it is tilted with the photovoltaic panel, and the liquid inlet joint 21 is lower than the liquid outlet joint 22 in the use state; in this way, the coolant flows upward from the low position and then flows out from the liquid outlet joint 22 located above. Under the action of gravity, the coolant flows slowly and can more fully achieve heat exchange with the photovoltaic panel.

[0045] The liquid inlet connector 21 and the liquid outlet connector 22 are arranged diagonally. Figure 1 As shown;

[0046] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet joint 21 is formed at the lower right corner of the lower cover plate 2, and the liquid outlet joint 22 is formed at the upper left corner of the lower cover plate 2. Figure 1 As shown;

[0055] The potassium fluoroaluminate layer can not only improve the corrosion resistance of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2, but also can serve as a flux to improve the welding quality between the upper cover plate 1, the edge pressure structure 3 and the lower cover plate 2.

[0059] By fixing with mortise and tenon joints, the structural stability of the edge pressure structure 3 can be improved.

[0060] The cavity 7 is provided with fins 6, such as Figure 5 As shown;

[0061] The fins 6 can disturb the coolant flowing through the cavity 7, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the coolant and the photovoltaic panel;

[0062] In this embodiment, the height of the fin 6 is 1.5 mm.

[0063] When the liquid cooling plate is used, it is attached to the back of the photovoltaic panel to cool the photovoltaic device;

[0064] In this embodiment, the upper cover plate 1 is connected to the photovoltaic panel by welding.
