Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat insulation and anti-condensation, in particular to a heat insulation and anti-condensation structure of a water cooling component for a DMD chip. Background Art
[0002] The DMD chip is a key component used in display and imaging related equipment. It has very strict requirements on temperature, humidity and cleanliness. Especially when used in laser display and laser imaging related equipment, the operating temperature of the DMD chip is often required to be controlled below 30°C. In this regard, the industry usually makes the liquid cooling component directly contact the DMD chip, and then passes 19°C coolant to the liquid cooling component to reduce the temperature of the liquid cooling component itself, thereby absorbing the heat generated by the DMD chip to achieve the purpose of cooling the DMD chip.
[0003] However, since the liquid-cooling component is in direct contact with the DMD chip, it is very close to the DMD chip and the circuit board where the chip is located. In addition, the liquid-cooling component itself passes through 19°C coolant, which will cause its own temperature to be relatively low, causing water droplets to condense on the surface of the liquid-cooling component. When the condensed water droplets drip onto the DMD chip or the circuit board where the chip is located, it will cause the DMD chip or the circuit board where the chip is located to short-circuit and corrode, affecting the normal use of the DMD chip. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a heat-insulating and anti-condensation structure for a water-cooling component of a DMD chip, which is used to isolate the water-cooling component from the external environment to reduce heat exchange between the water-cooling component and the external environment, thereby preventing water droplets from condensing on the water-cooling component and preventing water droplets from condensing on the outside of a main shell loaded with the water-cooling component, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The utility model solves the above-mentioned problem by providing a heat-insulating and anti-condensation structure for a water-cooling component of a DMD chip, comprising a main shell, wherein a receiving cavity for receiving the water-cooling component is provided in the main shell, and a plurality of heat-insulating structures for reducing the contact area between the water-cooling component and the main shell are provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity; an opening communicating with the receiving cavity is provided on the main shell, and part of the body of the water-cooling component is exposed from the opening and contacts with the DMD chip, thereby cooling the DMD chip.
[0006] Furthermore, the main shell is made of silicone.
[0007] Furthermore, the main shell includes a first shell part and a second shell part. The first shell part is provided with a hole, and the water supply pipe and the water outlet pipe both extend into the accommodating cavity through the hole to communicate with the water cooling component. The opening is provided on the second shell part, and the first shell part and the second shell part are spliced with each other to form the main shell.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting bracket, the main shell is fixed on one side of the mounting bracket, the DMD chip and the chip circuit board are fixed on the other side of the mounting bracket, and the body of the water cooling component exposed from the opening passes through the mounting bracket to contact the DMD chip.
[0009] Furthermore, a first screw connection member is provided on the water-cooling component, a mounting hole is provided on the second shell part, and a first screw connection hole is provided on the mounting bracket; when the water-cooling component is installed in the main shell, the first screw connection member passes through the mounting hole and cooperates with the first screw connection hole to thereby fix the main shell and the mounting bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, an annular protrusion is provided on the outer side of the second shell part around the mounting hole. When the main shell is fixed to one side of the mounting bracket, the annular protrusion is clamped between the second shell part and the mounting bracket, thereby sealing the mounting hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the first shell part and the second shell part are fixedly connected by bonding.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is a plate body, and a through channel is provided in the middle of the mounting bracket for only a part of the body of the water cooling component to pass through.

The second screw connector is connected by cooperating with the second screw hole to fix the mounting bracket to one side of the chip circuit board. The DMD chip is installed on the other side of the chip circuit board. The chip circuit board is also provided with a through channel for part of the body of the water cooling component to pass through.
[0014] Furthermore, the thermal insulation structure is a hole, a groove or a protrusion.
[0015] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0016] The utility model discloses a heat-insulating and anti-condensation structure for a water-cooling component for a DMD chip. The water-cooling component is loaded into a main shell, and the water-cooling component is exposed only at an opening on the shell and contacts the DMD chip. Under the premise of ensuring the cooling function of the water-cooling component on the DMD chip, the water-cooling component and the external air environment are isolated to the greatest extent, so that the heat absorbed by the water-cooling component from the external air environment is reduced.
[0017] Moreover, the main shell is made of silicone, and a number of insulation structures are arranged on the wall of the accommodating cavity of the main shell. The former is used to reduce the heat transfer efficiency of the main shell, and the latter is used to reduce the contact area between the water-cooling component and the main shell. Both are used to enhance the thermal insulation performance of the main shell. In addition to further reducing the heat absorbed by the water-cooling component from the external air environment, it can also make the outer surface of the main shell close to or consistent with the external ambient temperature, thereby effectively preventing the problem of water drop condensation on the outside of the main shell.

[0028] The most critical point is: in this embodiment, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 2 includes a top wall with a hole, a bottom wall with an opening 4, and an octagonal side wall, wherein a plurality of strip grooves are evenly arranged on the octagonal side wall of the accommodating cavity 2, and two fan-shaped grooves are arranged on the top wall of the accommodating cavity 2, and in order to ensure that the water-cooling component 14 can expose enough of its body from the opening 4, no grooves are arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 2. In this regard, when the water-cooling component 14 is placed in the accommodating cavity 2, due to the presence of the two fan-shaped grooves and the plurality of strip grooves, the contact area between the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 2 and the water-cooling component 14 can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the heat transfer between the main shell 1 and the water-cooling component 14, making the outer temperature of the main shell 1 closer to the external environment temperature, effectively avoiding water condensation on the outer side of the main shell 1, and effectively isolating the water-cooling component 14 from the external environment, avoiding water condensation on the outer surface of the water-cooling component 14.
[0029] It should be noted that the above-mentioned fan-shaped grooves and strip-shaped grooves are both insulation structures 3; in addition, in other embodiments, the insulation structure 3 can also be an arc-shaped protrusion arranged on the top wall and / or bottom wall and / or side wall of the accommodating cavity 2, or a hole arranged on the top wall and / or bottom wall and / or side wall of the accommodating cavity 2, or other forms of insulation structure 3 that can effectively reduce the contact area between the water-cooling component 14 and the main shell 1.
