Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of liquid cooling temperature control, and particularly to a heat exchange module for a liquid-cooled spliced heat exchange component. Background Art

[0002] Existing liquid-cooled heat exchange components usually adopt an integrated structure. Although this integrated heat exchange component can provide relatively high heat exchange efficiency in some applications, its application scope and flexibility are limited to a certain extent. In actual applications, many scenarios require flexible adjustment according to specific needs, and the integrated structure obviously cannot meet this requirement.

[0003] The integrated heat exchange component has some significant deficiencies. First of all, the integrated structure needs to be formed in one step during the manufacturing process, which results in relatively high manufacturing costs, especially in large-scale production, where the cost pressure is more obvious. Secondly, due to the difficulty of modular processing in the design of the integrated structure, it cannot be flexibly adjusted and combined according to different application scenarios, which to a certain extent limits its application scope. More importantly, the maintenance and replacement of the integrated structure are relatively complex. Once a certain part has a problem, it often requires overall replacement or repair, increasing the maintenance cost and time.

[0004] The reasons for these deficiencies are that the integrated heat exchange component lacks flexibility and adjustability in design and cannot be optimized and adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, the integrated structure requires high-precision processing equipment and processes during production, further increasing the manufacturing cost and time. Due to the lack of modular design, the integrated heat exchange component is difficult to adapt to changing application requirements in actual applications, limiting its market competitiveness and user choices.

[0005] Based on the above deficiencies, it is of great significance and value to develop a new heat exchange module for a liquid-cooled spliced heat exchange component. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of this application is to at least overcome one deficiency existing in the prior art, and provide a heat exchange module for a liquid-cooled spliced heat exchange component. This heat exchange module can be flexibly combined and adjusted according to actual needs, so as to adapt to different application scenarios. Through the splicing method, the manufacturing cost and complexity can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the maintenance and replacement efficiency of the liquid cooling system can be improved.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application discloses a heat exchange module for a liquid-cooled spliced heat exchange component. The heat exchange module includes a plate body, an I-shaped female groove recessed at one end of the plate body, and an I-shaped protrusion protruding from the other end of the plate body and having a shape and size suitable for the female groove; an interface communicating with a heat exchange flow channel is provided in the female groove. Correspondingly, an elastic plug exposed on the protrusion is provided on the protrusion, and the elastic plug is adapted to the interface. When two heat exchange modules are fitted, the elastic plug is inserted into the adjacent interface to form a sealed connection structure; guiding surfaces for the elastic plug are provided at both open ends of the female groove. Through the guiding surfaces, when two heat exchange modules are fitted, when the protrusion is horizontally inserted into the female groove, the elastic plug is guided and pressed, and when it reaches the interface position, it relies on elastic recovery and is inserted into the interface for mating to form a sealed interface connection; a plurality of heat exchange flow channels connecting the interface and the elastic plug are provided in the heat exchange module.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic plug includes a base portion and a main body portion inserted and slidably sealed with the base portion. Among them, a spring and at least one sealing rubber ring are provided between the main body portion and the base portion, so that the main body portion can slide in a reset manner and maintain a sealed fit with the base portion during sliding; the main body portion is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, a conical guiding surface is provided at the front end of the main body portion, and at least one sealing ring is provided on the outer surface of the main body portion.

[0009] In some embodiments, at least one sealing rubber ring adapted to the elastic plug is provided in the interface.

[0010] In some embodiments, the heat exchange flow channel is a horizontally wavy flow channel.

[0011] In some other embodiments, the heat exchange flow channel is a straight flow channel.

[0012] In some embodiments, a heat exchange silica gel layer is provided on the bottom surface of the heat exchange module.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the heat exchange module is simple and reasonably designed. The heat exchange module adopts the design of an I-shaped female groove and a protrusion, so that multiple heat exchange modules can be easily spliced and combined.

[0025] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment describes a heat exchange module for a liquid-cooled spliced heat exchange component.

[0026] In terms of structural composition, the heat exchange module mainly includes a plate body 1, a female groove 2, a convex portion 3, an interface 4, an elastic plug 5, a guiding surface 6, and a number of parallel heat exchange channels 7.

[0027] The following will describe in detail the structural composition, connection and cooperation relationship, design principle, working principle, and specific components of the heat exchange module in a logical order from general to specific.

[0028] In this embodiment, the core component of the heat exchange module is the plate body 1. The plate body 1 is made of a metal material with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloy or copper, to ensure good heat exchange performance. One end of the plate body 1 is provided with an I-shaped female groove 2 for accommodating the convex portion 3 of the adjacent module, and the other end is provided with an I-shaped convex portion 3. The convex portion 3 is suitable for the shape and size of the female groove 2 and is used to insert into the female groove 2 of the adjacent module.

[0029] Specifically, an interface 4 communicating with the heat exchange channel 7 is provided in the female groove 2. The interface 4 is used to cooperate with the elastic plug 5 to form a sealed connection of the fluid channel. An elastic plug 5 exposing the convex portion 3 is provided on the convex portion 3, and the elastic plug 5 is adapted to the interface 4. When two heat exchange modules are spliced, the elastic plug 5 is inserted into the adjacent interface 4 to form a sealed connection structure. Guiding surfaces 6 are provided at both open ends of the female groove 2. Through the guiding surfaces 6, when two heat exchange modules are spliced, the guiding surfaces 6 guide the convex portion 3 to horizontally insert into the female groove 2, so that the elastic plug 5 is guided and pressed, and when reaching the position of the interface 4, it relies on elastic recovery to be inserted and matched with the interface 4 to form a sealed interface connection.

[0030] Specifically, the design of the elastic plug 5 includes a base portion, a main body portion, a spring, and a sealing rubber ring. The main body portion is inserted into the base portion and is in sealed sliding fit with the base portion. A spring and at least one sealing rubber ring are provided between the main body portion and the base portion to ensure that the main body portion maintains a sealed fit with the base portion during sliding.

[0031] Furthermore, the main body portion is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and a conical guiding surface is provided at the front end. At least one sealing ring is provided on the outer surface of the main body portion to further ensure the sealing effect.

[0032] Specifically, a number of parallel heat exchange channels 7 are provided in the heat exchange module. The design of the heat exchange channels 7 can be horizontally wavy or straight to adapt to different application requirements. The horizontally wavy channel design increases the heat exchange area and improves the heat exchange efficiency; while the straight channel design simplifies the fluid flow path, reduces the fluid resistance, and improves the flow efficiency.

[0033] In addition, to further enhance the sealing performance and durability of the module, a heat exchange silicone layer is provided on the bottom surface of the heat exchange module. It can be understood that the heat exchange silicone layer is provided on the bottom surface of the heat exchange module, and this layer is used to achieve the heat exchange function. The heat exchange silicone layer is made of a silicone material with excellent thermal conductivity and has good thermal conductivity and flexibility. Its main function is to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange module. Specifically, through its softness and elasticity, the heat exchange silicone layer enables a larger contact area and closer contact between the heat exchange surface and the battery or other components to be heat exchanged. This close contact can effectively reduce the thermal resistance, improve the heat conduction efficiency, and ensure that heat is quickly conducted from the battery or other components to the heat exchange module, thereby enhancing the overall heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the flexibility of the silicone material can adapt to the minor deformations between the module and the components to be heat exchanged, ensuring continuous close fitting and good thermal conductivity, and further improving the cooling effect and stability of the system.

[0034] It should be understood that in actual use, the heat exchange module can be conveniently spliced and combined through modular design and is applicable to liquid cooling systems of various scales and requirements. During the splicing process, the guiding surface 6 ensures the accurate alignment of the protruding part 3 and the female groove 2, simplifies the installation process, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the connection. The sealed connection structure of the elastic plug 5 and the interface 4 ensures the continuity and tightness of the fluid flow and reduces the risk of leakage.

[0035] For example, in the liquid cooling system of a data center, by combining multiple heat exchange modules, an efficient and reliable heat exchange system can be formed. The modular design makes the system expansion and maintenance simple and convenient. The design of the guiding surface 6 and the elastic plug 5 ensures quick and reliable connection and sealing, effectively improving the operation efficiency and reliability of the system. By using this heat exchange module, not only can the cooling efficiency of the data center be improved, but also the maintenance time and cost can be reduced, and the reliability and service life of the overall system can be enhanced.

[0036] In addition, in the liquid cooling solution of an energy storage battery pack, the application of this heat exchange module can also significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the system. The modular design enables the system to be flexibly adjusted according to specific requirements. The design of the guiding surface 6 and the elastic plug 5 ensures simple installation and reliable connection, and the application of the heat exchange silicone layer provides additional sealing and protection to ensure the stable operation of the system under high load.

[0037] Through the above detailed description, those skilled in the art can implement this embodiment and fully understand its structure, principle, and application. The heat exchange module for the liquid cooling spliced heat exchange component has a reasonable structure, is easy to operate, has good sealing performance, high heat exchange efficiency, can adapt to various application requirements, and significantly improves the performance and reliability of the liquid cooling system.

[0038] Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure in essence. Therefore, all such changes and modifications are included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. The present disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and equivalents of these claims are also included.
