Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat sinks, and more specifically, to a heat sink welded by friction stir welding. Background Art

[0002] The main function of a heat sink is to help a device dissipate heat and cool down. In some high-performance devices, such as high-performance computers and servers, since the heat generated during operation is very large, using a heat sink can accelerate heat dissipation and ensure that the device operates at a stable working temperature. During the production and processing of large heat sinks, due to the heat sink welded by friction stir welding technology having excellent thermal performance and vibration resistance characteristics, it is necessary to use friction stir welding to weld and fix multiple groups of heat sinks.

[0003] After retrieval, a patent with the Chinese patent application number 202222392523.8 discloses a new type of heat sink, including a bottom plate and several heat sinks; each of the heat sinks is fixedly connected to the top surface of the bottom plate, and the heat sinks are evenly distributed at equal intervals; it further includes: a cleaning frame slidably assembled on the bottom plate; a guiding component arranged on the bottom plate to limit and guide the movement of the cleaning frame; a cleaning component arranged on the cleaning frame. The heat sink proposed by the utility model replaces the traditional heat sink structure, facilitating the staff to clean the heat sink, and at the same time being able to ensure the cleaning effect of the heat sink, improving the practicability of the heat sink. Secondly, it is convenient for users to clean the cleaning cotton;

[0004] The above patent still has the following deficiencies: (1) The defect of not being convenient to limit the position between two groups of aluminum heat-conducting plates. Since the heat sink needs to be placed in a welding fixture during the welding process to adjust the position of the heat sink so that the sides of the two groups of aluminum heat-conducting plates are aligned, the adjustment process is cumbersome and time-consuming, reducing the production efficiency of the heat sink;

[0005] (2) The defect that the fins are easily bent. Since the heat sink needs to use a tooling to support the position of the weld during the friction stir welding process to prevent the weld from deforming downward, but since the tooling needs to contact the heat-conducting fins, it is easy to cause the heat-conducting fins to be tilted and deformed by force, reducing the heat dissipation effect of the heat-conducting fins.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat sink welded by friction stir welding to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to address the problem that currently, there is a defect of not being convenient to limit the position between two groups of aluminum heat-conducting plates. Since the heat sink needs to be placed in a welding fixture during the welding process to adjust the position of the heat sink so that the sides of the two groups of aluminum heat-conducting plates are aligned, the adjustment process is cumbersome and time-consuming, reducing the production efficiency of the heat sink.

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0037] As Figures 1-5 shown, a heat sink using friction stir welding proposed in this implementation manner includes an aluminum heat-conducting plate 1, and further includes

[0038] Extension blocks 9 fixed on both sides of the aluminum heat-conducting plate 1, and a weld seam 8 is provided inside the aluminum heat-conducting plate 1;

[0039] A fixing structure 2 is arranged outside the extension blocks 9. Among them, the fixing structure 2 includes a housing 201 sleeved outside the extension blocks 9, a positioning component arranged on one side inside the housing 201, and a pressing wheel 202 rotatably connected to the inside of one side of the housing 201;

[0040] Heat-conducting fins 3 are fixed on the top of the aluminum heat-conducting plate 1,

[0041] Fixing bolts 4 are inserted into the inside of both sides of the aluminum heat-conducting plate 1;

[0042] A reinforcement structure 5 is arranged inside the heat-conducting fins 3 for supporting and fixing the position of the heat-conducting fins 3;

[0043] Support rods 10 are installed on both sides of the top of the aluminum heat-conducting plate 1, and mounting brackets 6 are fixed at the tops of the support rods 10. Mounting hole grooves 7 are provided inside the mounting brackets 6.

[0044] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the positioning component includes a second guide tube 205 fixed to one side inside the housing 201, a guide groove 204 opened in a set of extension blocks 9, and a first guide tube 203 inserted into the guide groove 204 and connected to another set of extension blocks 9. The second guide tube 205 and the first guide tube 203 are located on the same horizontal center line. A sliding structure is formed between the second guide tube 205 and the guide groove 204, and a rotating structure is formed between the pressure wheel 202 and the housing 201. A groove is opened at the bottom end of the housing 201. By aligning the left and right sets of extension blocks 9, the first guide tube 203 is inserted into the guide groove 204. After aligning the left and right sets of extension blocks 9, the housing 201 is then sleeved outside the extension blocks 9. The housing 201 is pulled horizontally to insert the second guide tube 205 into the guide groove 204 to limit the placement position of the housing 201. Then, the pressure wheel 202 is pushed to rotate, so that the pressure wheel 202 squeezes the two sets of extension blocks 9 to move closer to each other, reducing the gap inside the weld 8, and locking and fixing the position between the two sets of extension blocks 9.

[0045] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the reinforcement structure 5 includes a reinforcement rod 501 inserted into the heat dissipation fins 3, a tube body 502 fixed to one side of the reinforcement rod 501, a buckle groove 505 opened inside the tube body 502, an insertion piece 504 inserted into the tube body 502, and buckle blocks 503 fixed to both ends of the insertion piece 504.

[0046] Specifically, when the heat sink using friction stir welding is in use: the two sets of extension blocks 9 are aligned by using the fixing structure 2 to fix the position between the two sets of aluminum heat dissipation plates 1. Then, the heat sink is inverted so that the friction stir welding head contacts the extension blocks 9 to weld the weld 8. After welding, the welding keyhole is located inside the extension blocks 9, and the extension blocks 9 can be cut to remove the influence of the keyhole defect on the heat sink. The position between the heat dissipation fins 3 is reinforced by the reinforcement structure 5, and the mounting bracket 6 can be used to mount the fan.

[0047] By aligning the left and right sets of extension blocks 9, inserting the first guide tube 203 into the inside of the guide groove 204, aligning the left and right sets of extension blocks 9, then immediately slipping the housing 201 over the outside of the extension blocks 9, pulling the housing 201 horizontally to insert the second guide tube 205 into the inside of the guide groove 204 to limit the placement position of the housing 201, then immediately pushing the pressure wheel 202 to rotate, causing the pressure wheel 202 to squeeze the two sets of extension blocks 9 towards each other, reducing the gap inside the weld 8, and locking and fixing the position between the two sets of extension blocks 9;

[0048] Connecting multiple sets of heat dissipation fins 3 through the reinforcement rods 501 to support the distance between the heat dissipation fins 3, making the heat dissipation fins 3 not easily bend under force. When the left and right aluminum heat dissipation plates 1 are aligned, insert the insertion piece 504 into the inside of the tube body 502, causing the buckle 503 to deform and snap into the inside of the buckle groove 505 to connect and fix the left and right sets of reinforcement rods 501, and at the same time fix the position between the left and right aluminum heat dissipation plates 1 to accurately align the left and right aluminum heat dissipation plates 1.
