Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation and temperature averaging plates, in particular to a bionic liquid-absorbing core temperature averaging plate. Background Art
[0002] Traditional heat dissipation technologies mostly transfer the heat generated by electronic equipment to a fin-type heat sink or water-cooled plate with a large heat dissipation area, and then the heat sink or water-cooled plate transfers the heat to the air or coolant through the convection effect, thereby cooling the electronic equipment. However, the use of these two heat dissipation structures alone requires a large working space and economic consumables, and the convective heat transfer coefficient achieved is limited, which cannot meet the heat dissipation needs of high heat flow electronic components in modern industrial fields. The heat spreader can quickly diffuse the input high heat flow to various areas of the evaporation end, and then use the larger condensation surface to cool it in time. It has the advantages of uniform temperature distribution, large condensation area, light weight, good geometric flexibility and high thermal conductivity. It is an ideal solution to solve the current heat dissipation needs. Existing heat spreaders all use ordinary sintered liquid wick structure design.

[0030] This example embodiment provides a bionic wick temperature averaging plate, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the bionic wick temperature equalizing plate may include: an upper shell 100 , an upper wick 200 , a bionic wick 300 and a cavity 400 .
[0031] The upper shell 100 is sealed and connected to the cavity 400. The upper absorbent core 200 is attached to the upper shell 100, and the bionic absorbent core 300 is attached to the cavity 400.
[0032] The bionic absorbent core 300 comprises:
[0033] The base is used to accommodate liquid working medium, and the base includes a base bottom and a plurality of base bosses 301 provided on the base bottom. The plurality of base bosses 301 are evenly distributed radially from the center of the base bottom to the edge of the base bottom.
[0034] The transport channel 302 is formed by the intervals of the base boss 301 that are evenly distributed radially step by step;
[0035] The plurality of connecting channels 303 are radially extended from the center of the base to the edge of the base;
[0036] The transport channel 302 and the connecting channel 303 are interconnected to form a spider web channel.
[0037] Through the above-mentioned bionic liquid-absorbing core 300 temperature equalizing plate, the bionic liquid-absorbing core 300 structure of the temperature equalizing plate is obtained according to the topology of the spider web shape in nature. On the one hand, the transport channel 302 and the connecting channel 303 are interconnected to form a spider web channel, which provides a better reflux path for the phase-change working medium of the temperature equalizing plate, is less likely to dry up the working medium, and has better thermal conductivity; on the other hand, the base boss 301 has a supporting effect on the upper shell 100 and the cavity 400, reducing the number of support columns, thereby achieving the effect of weight reduction.
[0038] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 3 The various parts of the temperature averaging plate of the biomimetic absorbent wick 300 in this exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail.
[0039] In one embodiment, the depth of the upper housing 100 is 1 mm to 3 mm, and the depth of the cavity 400 is 1 mm to 3 mm. Both the upper housing 100 and the cavity 400 are made of copper plates or aluminum plates. It should be understood that the upper housing 100 and the cavity 400 are manufactured using a stamping process or precision milling. The depths of the upper housing 100 and the cavity 400 can be adjusted according to specific needs and are not limited thereto.
[0040] In one embodiment, the upper wick 200 and the biomimetic wick 300 are both manufactured using vacuum sintering. The upper wick 200 is made of copper powder with a particle size of 0.075 mm to 0.15 mm, uniformly sintered within the upper housing 100. Alternatively, the upper wick 200 is made of aluminum powder with a particle size of 0.075 mm to 0.15 mm, uniformly sintered within the upper housing 100, or uniformly sintered within the upper housing 100 using a foam metal structure, or uniformly sintered within the upper housing 100 using a wire mesh wick material structure. The bionic wick is made of copper powder with a particle size of 0.075mm-0.15mm, which is uniformly sintered in the cavity 400; or aluminum powder with a particle size of 0.075mm-0.15mm, which is uniformly sintered in the cavity 400; or a foam metal material structure, which is uniformly sintered in the cavity 400; or a wire mesh layer wick material structure, which is uniformly sintered in the cavity 400. It should be understood that the bionic wick 300 is a porous structure formed by powder sintering, foam metal, wire mesh, etc. The transport channel 302 and the connecting channel 303 are interconnected to form a spider web channel, and the liquid working medium is adsorbed on the bionic wick 300 under the action of capillary force. The spider web channel is a transmission channel for the gaseous working medium, that is, a gas phase channel. When the heat spreader is operating, the liquid working medium in the bionic wick 300 absorbs heat from the heat source and rapidly undergoes a phase change, from liquid to gas. The resulting gaseous working medium, under the action of the vapor pressure difference, quickly diffuses the gas phase through the spider web channel, while also carrying away the heat. The gaseous working medium condenses into a liquid when it encounters cold at the cold end and, under the action of capillary forces, flows back through the pore structure of the bionic wick 300, forming a working cycle. The upper wick 200 and the bionic wick 300 together form a channel for liquid circulation, which is the liquid phase channel. The upper wick 200 increases the volume of the pore structure of the entire wick. The larger the volume of liquid working medium stored, the higher the heat transfer limit of the heat spreader, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the heat spreader. The upper wick 200 provides a larger area for the liquid phase reflux channel, making the liquid phase reflux more efficient. This ensures that when the heat spreader is operating, the liquid phase working medium is less likely to dry up and cause the heat spreader to fail. During this process, the liquid phase and the gas phase operate in the liquid phase channel and the gas phase channel respectively, which greatly reduces the mutual influence between the gas and liquid phases. The liquid phase working fluid will not have difficulty in reflowing due to the influence of steam resistance; the gas phase working fluid will not be carried away by the excessive shear force at the gas-liquid interface due to the steam carrying effect, causing the working part of the temperature equalizing plate to dry up and produce a "dry burning" phenomenon. The structure of the bionic liquid absorbent core 300 makes the liquid phase working fluid and the gas phase working fluid independent of each other, and the working response is faster, which improves the response rate of the temperature equalizing plate and has the effect of improving the heat dissipation capacity. The base boss 301 of the bionic liquid absorbent core 300 is, on the one hand, a reflux channel for the liquid, and on the other hand, a supporting structure for the upper and lower shell plates of the temperature equalizing plate. Therefore, the height of the base boss 301 is determined by the structure of the temperature equalizing plate.
[0041] In one embodiment, the width of the transport channel 302 is 2 mm to 3 mm, and the width of the base bosses 301 is also 2 mm to 3 mm. It should be understood that the width of the transport channel 302 is determined by the spacing between the base bosses 301 and can be adjusted based on specific needs. During adjustment, the base bosses 301 are evenly distributed radially from the center of the base toward the edge of the base, and the distance between each level is adjusted. The width of the base bosses 301 can also be adaptively adjusted based on specific production requirements.
[0042] In one embodiment, the thickness of the substrate is 0.5mm-0.8mm. It should be understood that the substrate includes a substrate bottom and a substrate boss 301 disposed on the substrate bottom. The substrate bottom is a 0.5mm-0.8mm thick sintered layer or a liquid wick material such as foam metal or wire mesh.
[0043] In one embodiment, the liquid working medium is any one of pure water, acetone, methanol, and ethanol. It should be understood that the liquid working medium selected from pure water, acetone, methanol, and ethanol has better volatilization and heat transfer effects.
[0044] In one embodiment, the upper shell 100 is connected to the cavity 400 by vacuum diffusion welding. It should be understood that vacuum diffusion welding can achieve a better sealing effect and prevent the working medium from volatilizing and drying up.
