[0042] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0043] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a heat exchange component, which can be used in heat exchange of electronic devices such as tablet computers, laptop computers, VR (Virtual Reality) products, AR (Augmented Reality) products, and watches.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange element provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes:

[0045] A cover plate layer 1, wherein the cover plate layer 1 comprises a first cover plate layer and a second cover plate layer;

[0046] An intermediate layer 2, the intermediate layer 2 being located between the first cover layer and the second cover layer, and having a first flow channel 21 formed thereon. The first flow channel 21 is provided through the intermediate layer 2 in a thickness direction;

[0047] The first cover plate layer and the second cover plate layer each include a first layer, and the intermediate layer 2 includes a second layer, and the second layer has a different melting point from the first layer;

[0048] The first layer has a first connection area on one side close to the second layer, and the second layer has a second connection area on one side close to the first layer. The second connection area is welded to the first connection area so that the first cover layer, the second cover layer and the intermediate layer 2 form a sealed connection, and the first cover layer, the second cover layer and the intermediate layer 2 form a flow channel at the first flow channel groove 21.

[0049] Specifically, depending on actual design requirements, the second layer can be a metal layer to meet the strength requirements of the intermediate layer 2; the second layer can also be a polymer material layer to meet the lightweight requirements of the intermediate layer 2; the second layer can also be a metal layer or a polymer material layer, and the intermediate layer 2 also includes the other of the metal layer and the polymer material layer, which can improve the overall performance of the intermediate layer 2. In addition, depending on the actual design, the intermediate layer 2 can also include other material layers to form a multi-layer structure.

[0050] Similarly, depending on actual design requirements, the first layer can be a metal layer to meet the strength requirements of the cover layer 1; the first layer can also be a polymer material layer to meet the lightweight requirements of the cover layer 1; the first layer can also be a metal layer or a polymer material layer, and the cover layer 1 also includes the other of the metal layer and the polymer material layer to improve the overall performance of the cover layer 1. In addition, depending on the actual design, the cover layer 1 can also include other material layers to form a multi-layer structure.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present invention, the second layer has a different melting point than the first layer, that is, the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 have different melting points. For example, the second layer and the first layer can be made of different materials, such as any two of metal materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, and polymer materials, which can result in a difference in melting point between the second layer and the first layer. The second layer and the first layer can also be made of the same type but different materials, such as different metal materials, different inorganic non-metallic materials, or different polymer materials, which can also result in a difference in melting point between the second layer and the first layer, thereby allowing the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 on both sides to be made of different materials in the connection area.

[0052] The following description is made by taking two different types of materials, a metal layer and a polymer material layer, respectively, as an example. Inorganic non-metallic materials or other materials can also be used.

[0053] In one embodiment, when the second layer is a metal layer and the first layer is a polymer material layer, a second connection area is formed on both sides of the metal layer, and a first connection area is formed on the polymer material layer, so that the second layer and the first layer are materials with different melting points.

[0054] In another embodiment, when the second layer is a metal layer, the first layer is a first polymer layer, and the intermediate layer 2 further comprises a second polymer layer, a second connection region is formed on the metal layer of the intermediate layer 2 and the polymer layer of the intermediate layer 2, respectively, and a first connection region is formed on the polymer layer, so that the connection region between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 is made of materials having different melting points. The first polymer layer and the second polymer layer have different melting points.

[0055] In another embodiment, when the second layer is a polymer material layer and the first layer is a metal layer, a first connection area is formed on the metal layer, and second connection areas are formed on both sides of the polymer material layer, so that the second layer and the first layer are materials with different melting points.

[0056] For example: See Figure 1 The intermediate layer 2 can be arranged to include a metal layer and a polymer material layer from top to bottom, the first cover layer on the upper side of the intermediate layer 2 can include a metal layer and a polymer material layer from top to bottom, and the second cover layer on the lower side of the intermediate layer 2 can include a metal layer and a polymer material layer from top to bottom, so that the connection areas between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layers 1 on both sides can be made of different types of materials.

[0057] In addition, the arrangement of different materials in the connection areas between the middle layer 2 and the cover layers 1 on both sides can also enhance the flexible deformation capability of the heat exchange component, thereby meeting the use requirements of bendable electronic devices.

[0058] In summary, the connection area between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 is made of materials with different melting points. That is, the first connection area and the second connection area have different melting points. In the process of welding the first connection area and the second connection area, the difference in melting points of the materials in the connection area between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 can be used to enhance the sealing and connection strength of the connection area, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the sealed connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1, and thus ensuring the stable operation of the heat exchanger. Moreover, the provision of two connection areas can also avoid problems such as liquid leakage and air leakage that may exist in traditional connection methods, thereby improving the sealing performance of the heat exchanger, and thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of electronic equipment using the heat exchanger.

[0059] The connection area formed by the first connection area and the second connection area is located on the periphery of the flow channel, so as to form a reliable seal for the flow channel and avoid liquid leakage.

[0060] The first connection region can be formed through processes such as etching, surface activation, and laser cutting. The second connection region is typically positioned opposite the first connection region, allowing the lower melting point to partially melt during welding and form a strong bond with the higher melting point. Control of welding parameters such as temperature and pressure is necessary to prevent deformation of the lower melting point during welding, which could lead to overall structural failure.

[0061] Specifically, the first connection area may include a connection groove, a connection protrusion, or both, and the second connection area is embedded within the first connection area to form a seal. The first connection area may also have a roughened structure formed by surface treatment, and the second connection area is welded to the first connection area to form a tight bond with the roughened structure.

[0062] The welding methods for the first and second connection areas include, but are not limited to, laser welding, ultrasonic welding, hot press welding, and friction welding. Welding the second and first connection areas together strengthens the bond between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover plate layer 1, making them less susceptible to falling off or breaking, and thus extending the service life and durability of the heat exchange module.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a first flow channel groove 21 is opened on the middle layer 2, and the first flow channel groove 21 penetrates along the thickness direction of the middle layer 2, so that the working medium can flow smoothly in the flow channel at the first flow channel groove 21, thereby achieving efficient heat conduction and simplifying the opening process of the first flow channel groove 21.

[0064] Depending on the actual design, the shape of the first flow channel 21 includes, but is not limited to, linear, serpentine, and spiral shapes to optimize the flow path and heat exchange efficiency of the working fluid. Connectors or interfaces can also be provided at the inlet and outlet of the flow channel to facilitate connection to external heat exchange systems such as micropumps and radiators, thereby forming a complete heat exchange cycle.

[0065] Optionally, along the thickness direction of the heat exchange element, the second connection area is opposite to the first connection area, which can facilitate the sealed connection between the second connection area and the first connection area.

[0066] Optionally, the first layer is a metal layer or a polymer material layer; and / or the second layer is a metal layer or a polymer material layer.

[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, the second layer can be set as a metal layer and the first layer can be set as a polymer material layer. A second connection area is formed on both sides of the metal layer of the intermediate layer 2, and a first connection area is formed on the polymer material layer. The second connection area and the first connection area are welded one by one. The polymer material layer of the first connection area can be locally melted and form a strong bond with the metal layer of the second connection area, thereby realizing a sealed connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover layer 1 on both sides.

[0068] Among them, setting the second layer as a metal layer can enhance the supporting force of the middle layer 2 on the upper flow channel, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the heat exchange component.

[0069] In another embodiment, the first layer may be a metal layer and the second layer may be a polymer layer. The polymer layer in the second connection area may be partially melted and form a strong bond with the metal layer in the first connection area, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover plate layer 1. In this case, the first flow channel 21 may be formed in the polymer layer of the intermediate layer 2.

[0070] In another embodiment, the first layer and the second layer may be made of different metal materials, or the first layer and the second layer may be made of different polymer materials, and both layers can achieve reliable connection by utilizing the difference in melting points.

[0071] Optionally, there is a gap between the first flow channel groove 21 and the second connecting area.

[0072] In this embodiment, a gap is provided between the second connection area and the first flow channel 21, that is, a certain avoidance distance is maintained between the second connection area and the first flow channel 21. On the one hand, it can avoid the welding process between the first connection area and the second connection area from interfering with the first flow channel 21, and avoid the connection between the cover layer 1 and the middle layer 2 from affecting the flow of the working medium in the flow channel, so as to ensure the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange component.

[0073] On the other hand, the setting of the gap between the second connection area and the first flow channel groove 21 can also prevent the working fluid from entering and exiting and causing erosion to the welding area between the first connection area and the second connection area, thereby ensuring the reliability of the sealed connection between the two and extending the service life and durability of the heat exchange component.

[0074] The following description will be made by taking the first working medium inlet 111 and the first working medium outlet 112 located on the first cover plate layer as an example.

[0075] Optionally, a through hole is provided on the first cover plate layer, and on a transverse plane of the first cover plate layer, the first connection area is arranged around the through hole, with a gap between the first connection area and the through hole.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first cover layer is provided with a through hole along the vertical direction, i.e., the longitudinal direction, and the through hole includes a first working fluid inlet 111 and a first working fluid outlet 112. The first working fluid inlet 111 and the first working fluid outlet 112 are respectively connected to the flow channel in the heat exchange element, so that the working fluid can enter the flow channel from the first working fluid inlet 111 and discharge the flow channel from the first working fluid outlet 112, thereby realizing the flow of the working fluid.

[0077] The first connection area can be arranged on the transverse plane of the first cover plate layer, and is arranged around the through hole. That is, the first connection area surrounds the circumference of the through hole, and can achieve sealing between the intermediate layer 2 and the first cover plate layer by using the first connection area and the second connection area, while also reducing the risk of liquid leakage, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange module.

[0078] In addition, a gap is provided between the first connection area and the through hole on the transverse plane of the first cover plate layer, that is, a certain avoidance distance is maintained between the first connection area and the through hole. On the one hand, this can prevent the welding process between the first connection area and the second connection area from interfering with the through hole, and prevent the connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the first cover plate layer from affecting the flow of the working medium in the heat exchanger, so as to ensure the normal and reliable operation of the heat exchanger.

[0079] On the other hand, the setting of the gap between the first connection area and the through hole can also prevent the working fluid from entering and exiting and causing erosion to the welding area of the first connection area and the second connection area, thereby ensuring the reliability of the sealed connection between the two and extending the service life and durability of the heat exchange component.

[0080] Optionally, the width of the gap is greater than or equal to 0.1 times the diameter of the through hole.

[0081] In this embodiment, the width of the gap is set to be no less than 0.1 times the diameter of the through hole, that is, the first connection area is located outside the area formed by 1.2 times the diameter of the through hole, so that a reliable avoidance distance can be formed between the first connection area and the through hole, which can avoid the welding process between the first connection area and the second connection area from interfering with the through hole, and avoid the connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the first cover layer from affecting the flow of the working medium in the heat exchanger, so as to ensure the normal and stable operation of the heat exchanger, and also facilitate the welding process between the first connection area and the second connection area, thereby simplifying the processing difficulty of the heat exchanger.

[0082] Optionally, the width of the gap ranges from 0.1 times to 0.25 times the diameter of the through hole.

[0083] In this embodiment, the width of the gap is set between 0.1 and 0.25 times the diameter of the through-hole, that is, the first connection area is located outside the area formed by 1.2 times the diameter of the through-hole and within the area formed by 1.5 times the diameter of the through-hole. Setting the first connection area within the annular area defined by the area formed by 1.2 times the diameter of the through-hole and within the area formed by 1.5 times the diameter of the through-hole can avoid the through-hole while also enhancing the reliability of the sealed connection between the intermediate layer 2 and the first cover layer, reducing the risk of sealing failure.

[0084] When the first working fluid inlet 111 and the first working fluid outlet 112 are located on the second cover layer, or when one of the first working fluid inlet 111 and the first working fluid outlet 112 is located on the first cover layer and the other of the first working fluid inlet 111 and the first working fluid outlet 112 is located on the second cover layer, an avoidance gap also needs to be formed with the connection area. The specific details are similar to the above situation and will not be repeated here.

[0085] Optionally, a connection groove and / or a connection protrusion is provided on the first connection area, and the second connection area is sealedly connected to the first connection area.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first connection area may include a groove, a protrusion, or both, and the second connection area is embedded within the first connection area to form a sealed connection. The number and distribution of the connection grooves and / or connection protrusions may be adjusted to enhance sealing performance based on actual sealing requirements.

[0087] Optionally, the melting point of the second layer is lower than that of the first layer, so that during welding, the second connection area of the second layer with a lower melting point can be partially melted and form a strong bond with the first connection area of the first layer with a higher melting point.

[0088] Optionally, a linear connection groove 3 is provided on the first connection area, and the second connection area is embedded in the linear connection groove 3 to form a circumferential seal.

[0089] In this embodiment, a linear connecting groove 3 can be formed in the first connecting region, for example, by etching, cutting, or other processes. Welding the first and second connecting regions can exploit the difference in melting points between the materials of the first and second connecting regions, allowing the second connecting region to partially melt and embed within the linear connecting groove 3, thereby forming a secure bond with the first connecting region. This achieves a sealed connection between the cover layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2, thereby ensuring stable operation of the heat exchanger. The linear connecting groove 3 should be designed to avoid through-holes to prevent interference with the flow of the working fluid.

[0090] According to design requirements, the shape of the linear connection groove 3 includes but is not limited to S-shape, arc shape, spiral shape, cross line shape and racetrack shape. Figure 2 A cross-shaped linear connecting groove 3 is shown. The arrangement of the linear connecting groove 3 in this shape enables the first connecting area and the second connecting area to form a complete circle of sealing along the circumferential direction, thereby further enhancing the reliability of the sealing connection between the cover layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2.

[0091] Optionally, a plurality of grooves 4 are provided on the first connection area, and the second connection area is embedded in the grooves 4 to form a circumferential seal.

[0092] In this embodiment, a groove 4, also known as a groove or pit, can be formed in the first connection area, for example, by etching, cutting, or other processes. Welding the first connection area to the second connection area can utilize the difference in melting points between the materials of the first and second connection areas to partially melt the second connection area and embed it into the groove 4, thereby forming a strong bond with the first connection area. This can achieve a sealed connection between the cover plate layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2, thereby ensuring stable operation of the heat exchange component.

[0093] According to design requirements, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 4 includes but is not limited to circular, elliptical, rectangular and irregular shapes. Figure 3 The figure shows a distribution of grooves 4, where some grooves 4 are arranged along a first circle around the periphery of the working fluid inlet and outlet, and other grooves 4 are arranged along a second circle around the periphery of the working fluid inlet and outlet. The second circle is staggered from the first circle, so that the first connection area and the second connection area can be completely sealed along the circumferential direction by utilizing the multiple staggered grooves 4, thereby further enhancing the reliability of the sealed connection between the cover layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2.

[0094] In another embodiment, the number of arranged circles of the grooves 4 may be increased to enhance the reliability of the circumferential sealing connection between the first connection area and the second connection area and reduce the risk of sealing failure.

[0095] Optionally, an annular connecting groove 5 is provided on the first connecting area, and the second connecting area is embedded in the annular connecting groove 5 to form a seal.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular connecting groove 5 is provided on the first connecting area to surround the circumference of the working medium inlet and outlet. On the one hand, the gap between the annular connecting groove 5 and the working medium inlet and outlet can be utilized to avoid the entry and exit of the working medium in the flow channel, so as to ensure the normal and stable operation of the heat exchanger; on the other hand, the provision of the annular connecting groove 5 surrounding the circumference of the working medium inlet and outlet enables the first connecting area and the second connecting area to form a complete circle of sealing along the circumferential direction, thereby further enhancing the reliability of the sealing connection between the cover layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2.

[0097] Optionally, there are multiple annular connecting grooves 5 , and the multiple annular connecting grooves 5 are arranged at intervals.

[0098] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of annular connecting grooves 5 can be provided to circumferentially surround the working medium inlet and outlet. The plurality of annular connecting grooves 5 can be used to further enhance the reliability of the circumferential sealing between the first connection area and the second connection area, thereby further enhancing the sealing connection between the cover plate layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2, and avoiding the overall sealing failure of the heat exchange module caused by the failure of a single-layer seal, thereby extending the service life and durability of the heat exchange module.

[0099] Optionally, the ratio of the depth of any one of the linear connecting groove 3 , the groove 4 and the annular connecting groove 5 to the thickness of the cover plate layer 1 is in a range of 1:4 to 3:4.

[0100] In this embodiment, when the connecting groove is located on the first cover layer and the second cover layer, the ratio of the depth of the connecting groove to the thickness of the corresponding cover layer 1 is set in the range of 1:4 to 3:4, that is, the minimum depth of the connecting groove is 1 / 4 of the thickness of the cover layer 1, and the maximum depth of the connecting groove is 3 / 4 of the thickness of the cover layer 1, which can ensure the reliability of the sealed connection between the cover layer 1 and the intermediate layer 2.

[0101] Optionally, the ratio of the depth of any one of the linear connecting groove 3 , the groove 4 and the annular connecting groove 5 to the thickness of the cover plate layer 1 is 1:2.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the connecting groove is located on the first cover plate layer and the second cover plate layer, the ratio of the depth of the connecting groove to the thickness of the corresponding cover plate layer 1 is preferably 1 / 2, which can ensure that there is sufficient contact area between the second connecting area and the connecting groove, thereby ensuring that the second connecting area and the first connecting area form a good sealing effect, and can also simplify the opening of the connecting groove.

[0103] Optionally, the second connection area is connected to the first connection area by laser welding, ultrasonic welding, hot pressing welding, friction welding, brazing, or diffusion welding. The welded connection between the metal layer and the polymer material layer can strengthen the bond between the intermediate layer 2 and the cover plate layers 1 on both sides, making it less likely to fall off or break, thereby extending the service life and durability of the heat exchange component.

[0104] Among them, ultrasonic welding and hot pressing welding are preferred, which can simplify the sealing process of the middle layer 2 and the cover layers 1 on both sides, reduce the difficulty of connection, and thus improve the processing efficiency of the heat exchange module.

[0105] The embodiment of the present utility model further provides a heat exchange module, comprising a micro pump and the above-mentioned heat exchange element.

[0106] Optionally, the heat exchange element has a first working fluid inlet 111 and a first working fluid outlet 112, and the micropump has a second working fluid inlet and a second working fluid outlet, the first working fluid inlet 111 and the first working fluid outlet 112 are respectively connected to the flow channel, and the first working fluid inlet 111 is connected to the second working fluid outlet, and the first working fluid outlet 112 is connected to the second working fluid inlet.

[0107] In this embodiment, depending on the positional relationship between the micropump and the heat exchange element, a first working fluid inlet 111 and a first working fluid outlet 112 can be provided on the first cover plate layer or the second cover plate layer. This allows the working fluid to flow into the flow channel through the second working fluid outlet and the first working fluid inlet 111, and then return to the micropump from the flow channel through the first working fluid outlet 112 and the second working fluid inlet, thereby achieving working fluid circulation.
