Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pulsating heat pipes, in particular to a flat pulsating heat pipe cooling structure. Background Technique

[0002] A shearer is a coal mining device. The shearer products sold on the market are gradually developing towards high power and intelligence, and stable quality, high yield and high efficiency are always the ultimate goals pursued by customers. However, with the increase of the cutting power of the shearer, the heat generation of the gearbox in the rocker arm housing becomes increasingly serious. Therefore, a flat heat pipe is installed on the rocker arm of the shearer for heat dissipation.

[0003] Currently, the invention patent with the publication number of CN116123903A discloses a flat pulsating heat pipe and a processing method, belonging to the technical field of pulsating heat pipes, including a plate body and a pulsating heat pipe flow channel opened inside the plate body. The pulsating heat pipe flow channel is filled with a working medium. The pulsating heat pipe flow channel includes a plurality of flow enhancement channels and flow weakening channels, and the flow enhancement channels and the flow weakening channels are arranged alternately. A branch flow channel is arranged between adjacent flow enhancement channels and flow weakening channels. One end of the branch flow channel is communicated with the adiabatic section of the flow enhancement channel, and the other end of the branch flow channel is communicated with the evaporation section of the flow weakening channel. By setting the branch flow channel, the bubbles in the evaporation section of the flow weakening channel are divided, so that the flow pressure difference between the flow enhancement channel and the flow weakening channel increases faster, realizing the directional distribution of the working medium flow pressure, breaking the pressure balance state faster, enabling the working medium in the flat pulsating heat pipe to start circulating faster and dissipating heat more timely.

[0004] The existing flat pulsating heat pipe has a flat structure with a smooth surface. When the condensation section exchanges heat with the coolant in the cooling pipe, the heat exchange efficiency is slow. At the same time, the heat collection speed of the evaporation section for lubricating oil is also slow, resulting in a low cooling efficiency for the lubricating oil during use. To solve the above problems, a flat pulsating heat pipe cooling structure is proposed in this application. Content of the Utility Model

When the cooling water moves in the cooling pipe, the wavy structure can increase the disturbance of the cooling water, form turbulence, and further improve the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, the evaporation heat collection fins increase the contact area between the evaporation section and the lubricating oil. The pulsating flow channel bends along with the waveform of the flat cooling frame.

[0029] Condensing heat dissipation fins 7 are laser welded on the surface of the flat cooling frame 1. An evaporation heat collection fin 8 is provided on one side of the condensing heat dissipation fin 7. The bottom of the surface of the flat cooling frame 1 is a condensing section 6. The condensing section 6 is located below the lower fixing clip 3. The top of the surface of the flat cooling frame 1 is an evaporation section 4. The evaporation section 4 is located above the upper fixing clip 2. The connection part between the evaporation section 4 and the condensing section 6 is a welding section 5. The welding section 5 is located between the upper fixing clip 2 and the lower fixing clip 3.

[0030] It should be noted that the flat cooling frame 1 is fixed by the upper fixing clip 2 and the lower fixing clip 3 respectively. The upper fixing clip 2 is welded on the outer wall surface of the cooling pipe, and the lower fixing clip 3 is welded on the inner wall surface of the cooling pipe. The combination of the upper fixing clip 2 and the lower fixing clip 3 can increase the welding area between the flat cooling frame 1 and the cooling pipe, thereby improving the welding stability of the flat cooling frame 1. The condensing section 6 of the flat cooling frame 1 is inserted into the inner cavity of the cooling pipe, and the evaporation section 4 is located on the outer wall of the cooling pipe. Both the evaporation section 4 and the condensing section 6 are wavy. Condensing heat dissipation fins 7 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the condensing section 6, which can increase the contact area between the condensing section 6 and the cooling water in the cooling pipe. When the cooling water moves in the cooling pipe, the wavy structure can increase the disturbance of the cooling water and form a turbulent flow, further improving the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, evaporation heat collection fins 8 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the evaporation section 4, which can increase the contact area between the evaporation section 4 and the lubricating oil. The pulsating flow channel 9 bends along with the waveform of the flat cooling frame 1. Working fluids such as water, ethanol or acetone are filled in the pulsating flow channel 9, which promotes the pulsation intensity of the working fluid, improves the heat transfer efficiency of the pulsating heat pipe, and enhances the cooling speed of the lubricating oil.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the condensing heat dissipation fins 7 are located on the surface of the condensing section 6, and the evaporation heat collection fins 8 are located on the surface of the evaporation section 4.

[0032] It should be noted that the condensing heat dissipation fins 7 and the evaporation heat collection fins 8 can increase the contact area between the evaporation section 4 and the condensing section 6 and the coolant and the lubricating oil.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, a liquid level observation window 10 is embedded at a position corresponding to the position of the liquid supplement pipe 11 on the surface of the flat cooling rack 1. One end of the pulsating flow channel 9 is conductively connected to a liquid supplement pipe 11. The liquid supplement pipe 11 is located at one end of the upper surface of the flat cooling rack 1, and a shut-off valve 12 is installed on the liquid supplement pipe 11.

[0034] It should be noted that the liquid level observation window 10 can observe the industrial capacity in the pulsating flow channel 9. When the working medium is consumed, the working medium can be replenished in time through the liquid supplement pipe 11.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: The flat cooling rack 1 is fixed by an upper fixing clip 2 and a lower fixing clip 3 respectively. The upper fixing clip 2 is welded on the outer wall surface of the cooling pipe, and the lower fixing clip 3 is welded on the inner wall surface of the cooling pipe. By matching the upper fixing clip 2 and the lower fixing clip 3, the welding area between the flat cooling rack 1 and the cooling pipe can be increased, thereby improving the welding stability of the flat cooling rack 1. The condensation section 6 of the flat cooling rack 1 is inserted into the inner cavity of the cooling pipe, and the evaporation section 4 is located on the outer wall of the cooling pipe. Both the evaporation section 4 and the condensation section 6 are wavy. Condensation heat dissipation fins 7 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the condensation section 6, which can increase the contact area between the condensation section 6 and the cooling water in the cooling pipe. When the cooling water moves in the cooling pipe, the wavy structure can increase the disturbance of the cooling water and form turbulence, further improving the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, evaporation heat collection fins 8 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the evaporation section 4, which can increase the contact area between the evaporation section 4 and the lubricating oil. The pulsating flow channel 9 bends along with the waveform of the flat cooling rack 1. Working media such as water, ethanol or acetone are filled in the pulsating flow channel 9 to promote the pulsation intensity of the working medium, improve the heat transfer efficiency of the pulsating heat pipe, enhance the cooling speed of the lubricating oil, and the liquid level observation window 10 can observe the industrial capacity in the pulsating flow channel 9.
