Relevant patents include CN204496410U, Taiwan TWM601366U, Taiwan TWM601368U, etc.

[0003] However, the display modules added to the existing water cooling head structure all have their own backlight modules, which can make the display of the display module more obvious, but the backlight module has a certain thickness, which in turn limits the overall height of the water cooling head structure and cannot be effectively reduced.

[0051] The detailed description and technical content of the utility model are now described as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a water-cooling head 20, which is used in a liquid cooling system (not shown). The water-cooling head 20 contacts a heat source (such as a CPU or a GPU), performs heat exchange on the heat source, and allows the heat source to be cooled. The water-cooling head 20 of the utility model includes a heat exchange module 21, a shell 22 in which the heat exchange module 21 is arranged, a light-emitting component 23 arranged in the shell 22, and a liquid crystal panel 24 arranged on the shell 22. The shell 22 forms a space 221 in which the heat exchange module 21 is arranged, and the shell 22 covers the outside of the heat exchange module 21. When the light-emitting component 23 is activated, the space 221 will generate light, that is, when the light-emitting component 23 is activated, it will project light toward the space 221 (such as Figure 1 40 in the figure). In addition, the liquid crystal panel 24 can be directly observed from the exterior of the housing 22, that is, the liquid crystal panel 24 is exposed outside the housing 22. The liquid crystal panel 24 of the utility model only includes components for display, and does not include a part that emits light or guides light (such as a backlight panel). Therefore, the light required for the liquid crystal panel 24 of the utility model to display information is obtained by parts other than the liquid crystal panel 24. Furthermore, because the liquid crystal panel 24 of the utility model only includes components for display, the outside world can directly observe the heat exchange module 21 through the liquid crystal panel 24.

[0053] The water cooling head 20 of the utility model is connected to an external electronic device when implemented to obtain the power required for operation or display signals. The aforementioned display signals can be the current operating temperature of the heat source, brand trademarks or animations, etc. The liquid crystal panel 24 on the water cooling head 20 is not limited to normal display. When the liquid crystal panel 24 does not display information and the light-emitting component 23 is activated to generate light in the space 221, the light in the space 221 can be directly observed from the liquid crystal panel 24. At the same time, the heat exchange module 21 can also be observed, just like Figure 4 When the liquid crystal panel 24 receives the display signal and the light emitting component 23 is activated, the liquid crystal panel 24 will display based on the light in the space 221, and the visual experience can be as follows: Figure 5 In addition to the above, when the liquid crystal panel 24 is displaying, the displayed image can also cover the heat exchange module 21, such as Figure 6As shown. Furthermore, the implementation of the water cooling head 20 is not limited to the normal activation of the light emitting component 23. When the light emitting component 23 is not activated, although the liquid crystal panel 24 does not display, the outside world can still try to observe the heat exchange module 21 by approaching the water cooling head 20. In this way, the utility model uses the aforementioned display structure design to enable the water cooling head 20 to present different visual experiences in addition to displaying information. Furthermore, from the perspective of the structure of the water cooling head 20, the structure of the utility model can reduce the overall height of the water cooling head 20.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to more effectively use the light generated by the light emitting component 23 for the display of the liquid crystal panel 24, in one embodiment, the surface of the heat exchange module 21 is a high reflectivity color, which can be white or silver, and the light in the space 221 is reflected by the high reflectivity color characteristics. The method of making the heat exchange module 21 with a high reflectivity color is: when making the shell of the heat exchange module 21, a material with a high reflectivity color is selected, or a coating is provided on the surface to form a first reflective layer 211. Please also refer to Fig. 9 In addition to the aforementioned embodiments, in one embodiment, the shell 22 has an inner wall surface 222 which may also be a high reflectivity color. The inner wall surface 222 faces the space 221. The inner wall surface 222 is implemented with a high reflectivity color to reflect the light projected by the light-emitting component 23 into the space 221, thereby assisting the display of the liquid crystal panel 24. The methods for making the inner wall surface 222 of the shell 22 have a high reflectivity color include: when the shell 22 is composed of multiple components, one of the components used to define the space 221 is made of a material with a high reflectivity color during production, or when the shell 22 is implemented as a single part, the shell 22 is made of a material with a high reflectivity color during production, or a coating is provided on the inner wall surface 222 of the shell 22 to form a second reflective layer 223. The first reflective layer 211 and the second reflective layer 223 may be different colors, which is not limited by the present invention. As mentioned above, the first reflective layer 211 and the second reflective layer 223 may also be implemented at the same time, as Fig.10 shown.

[0055] The position of the light emitting component 23 in the housing 22 can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, or as Fig. 9As shown, it is arranged at a position closer to the liquid crystal panel 24. In one embodiment, the light-emitting component 23 includes a plurality of light sources 232, and the plurality of light sources 232 can be single-color light-emitting diodes or multi-color light-emitting diodes (RGB LEDs), that is, the plurality of light sources 232 are not limited to white light. In order to avoid local overbrightness affecting the display of the liquid crystal panel 24, the plurality of light sources 232 are arranged in a manner surrounding the space 221, and further, the plurality of light sources 232 can be regularly arranged on the inner wall surface 222 of the shell 22. Continuing from the above, in one embodiment, the light-emitting component 23 can further include at least one carrier board 231 for supporting the plurality of light sources 232, and the at least one carrier board 231 can be a flexible circuit board. Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the shell 22 may further have a mounting rib 224 located on the inner wall surface 222 and provided for setting the at least one carrier plate 231. The mounting rib 224 is not limited to a structure protruding from the inner wall surface 222, but may be formed by one of the components according to the structural design of the shell 22.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the water cooling head 20 further includes a connection port 25, and the at least one connection port 25 electrically connects the liquid crystal panel 24 and the light-emitting component 23. The at least one connection port 25 can connect the liquid crystal panel 24 and the light-emitting component 23 by at least one of the following or a combination thereof: at least one electrical line 251, a flexible flat cable and a circuit board, and the at least one connection port 25 transmits the power and display information required for work through at least one of the foregoing. Furthermore, the at least one connection port 25 can be exposed on the outside of the housing 22 waiting for an external connector to connect, or the at least one electrical line 251 (or the flexible flat cable) can be extended out of the housing 22 and can be actively connected to other connectors.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the housing 22 has an opening 225 facing the liquid crystal panel 24, and a transparent protective sheet 226 disposed on the opening 225. The opening 225 allows the liquid crystal panel 24 to be directly observed from the outside. In addition, the transparent protective sheet 226 is stacked on the liquid crystal panel 24 to provide basic protection for the liquid crystal panel 24. On the other hand, the transparent protective sheet 226 can be replaced by an optical lens, which can change the feeling of the outside world observing the screen of the liquid crystal panel 24.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the heat exchange module 21 has a heat exchange seat 212 and two connecting pipes 213. The internal structure of the heat exchange seat 212 can be easily thought of by technicians in this field, and will not be described in detail herein. The two connecting pipes 213 are respectively connected to the two conduits of the liquid cooling and heat dissipation system, and the two connecting pipes 213 form a water flow path with the heat exchange seat 212.
