Detailed implementation manners

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0019] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, A water-cooling head structure of a water-cooled radiator, comprising a water-cooling head main body 1 and a decorative shell 2. The decorative shell 2 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 includes a square first top plate 211 and a first side frame 212 disposed on the bottom surface of the first top plate 211 and surrounding the first top plate 211 with four sides. The first top plate 211 and the first side frame 212 are integrally formed. An installation groove 213 is recessed on the top surface of the first top plate 211, and the installation groove 213 extends downward to opposite sides of the first side frame 212. A display screen 3 is fixed in the installation groove 213. The display screen 3 is a flexible screen. By bending the flexible screen, the flexible screen is attached to the top surface of the first top plate 211 and the opposite side surfaces of the first side frame 212. The peripheral side of the flexible screen contacts the side wall of the installation groove 213. The preferred way to fix the flexible screen to the upper shell 21 is to apply glue on the back of the flexible screen to adhesively fix the flexible screen to the upper shell 21, but the fixing method is not limited to adhesive fixing. For example, the flexible screen can also be fixed by snap connection and other methods. Both sides of the first top plate 211 along the extension direction of the installation groove 213 are rounded, which is convenient for the flexible screen to be bent and attached to the opposite side surfaces of the first side frame 212, and the rounded setting increases the aesthetic degree of the upper shell 21. Positioning the flexible screen through the installation groove 213 makes the flexible screen not easily deviate during installation and plays a protective role for the side of the flexible screen.

[0020] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, the lower housing 22 includes a square-shaped second top plate 221 and a second side frame 222 disposed on the bottom surface of the second top plate 221 and surrounding the second top plate 221 with four sides. The second top plate 221 and the second side frame 222 are integrally formed. A square-frame-shaped protrusion 223 is provided on the top surface of the second top plate 221. And on the top surface of the second top plate 221 inside the square-frame-shaped protrusion 223, there are upright support pieces 224. The number of the support pieces 224 is eight. Two support pieces 224 form a group. Four groups of support piece groups are respectively arranged at the four corners of the protrusion 223. And the two support pieces 224 of each group of support piece groups and the corner of the protrusion 223 surround to form a square frame shape. A PCB board 4 is commonly fixed at the tops of the eight support pieces 224. Specifically, the PCB board 4 and the second top plate 221 are connected by bolts to fix the PCB board 4 on the tops of the support pieces 224. The PCB board 4 is supported by the support pieces 224. The support pieces 224 hold up the PCB board 4 so that there is a gap between the PCB board 4 and the top surface of the second top plate 221, which is convenient for the PCB board 4 to dissipate heat. Further, on the top surface of the second top plate 221 inside the square-frame-shaped protrusion 223, there are also two convex columns 225. The height of the convex columns 225 is higher than the upright height of the support pieces 224. The PCB board 4 is provided with two openings 41 that match the convex columns 225. The installation position of the PCB board 4 is positioned by inserting the convex columns 225 into the openings 41, which is convenient for quickly fixing the PCB board 4. An insertion slot 214 that penetrates through the bottom surface of the first side frame 212 is recessed on the inner bottom wall of the first side frame 212. The size and shape of the insertion slot 214 match the size and shape of the square-frame-shaped protrusion 223. Connection columns 215 are provided at the four-corner positions of the inner side wall of the first side frame 212. The upper housing 21 is installed on the top of the lower housing 22, and the protrusion 223 is inserted into the insertion slot 214. The second top plate 221 and the connection columns 215 are connected and fixed by bolts to fix the upper housing 21 and the lower housing 22 to form an integral decorative housing 2. The second top plate 221 closes the bottom-end opening of the first side frame 212 to protect the PCB board 4 inside the first side frame 212. A flexible cable 31 is provided at the back-end of the display screen 3. At the position corresponding to the flexible cable 31 on the bottom surface of the installation groove 213 of the first side frame 212, there is an insertion opening 216 that matches the size of the flexible cable 31. The insertion opening 216 allows the flexible cable 31 to penetrate into the inside of the first side frame 212. A flexible cable terminal 42 that matches the flexible cable 31 is provided on the PCB board 4. The display screen 3 is electrically connected to the PCB board 4 by inserting the flexible cable 31 into the flexible cable terminal 42.

[0021] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the second side frame 222 is sleeved on the water block body 1, and the second top plate 221 is fixedly connected to the water block body 1 by bolts. There is a gap between the inner wall of the second side frame 222 and the outer wall of the water block body 1. Through holes 226 are provided at positions corresponding to this gap on the second top plate 221, so that an external power supply can be connected to the pcb board 4 through the through holes 226.

[0022] The implementation principle of an integrated water-cooled radiator in this application is as follows: The decorative shell 2 covers the water block body 1, enabling the overall shape of the water block to be transformed on the basis of the basic form of the water block body 1, playing a decorative role. A display screen 3 is fixed on the outer wall of the decorative shell 2. The display screen 3 is a flexible screen. By bending the flexible screen, the flexible screen is attached to the top surface of the first top plate 211 and the opposite two side surfaces of the first side frame 212, so that the flexible screen has a three-sided display effect. Through the electrical connection between the flexible screen and the pcb board 4, the flexible screen can display pictures and replace the displayed pictures, and can also be linked with external electronic devices. The three-sided display effect of the flexible screen enables users to appreciate the pictures displayed on the flexible screen from multiple angles, making the decorative effect of the water block stronger. By being linked with external electronic devices and the flexible screen being convenient to replace pictures, users are not easily prone to aesthetic fatigue. The pictures displayed on the flexible screen can be static pictures or dynamic pictures according to the user's selection.

[0023] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present application. The scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
