Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radiators, and in particular to a radiator. Background Art
[0002] At present, the more common types of radiators in the air-conditioning market are mainly extruded radiators, heat pipe radiators, phase change radiators, etc. In order to meet the heat dissipation requirements of larger components, extruded radiators are usually larger in size, with higher fin heights, and are difficult to process and have higher costs. Heat pipe radiators usually have heat pipes embedded in the upper surface of the radiator substrate. The heat pipe is a sealed copper tube with a liquid medium with a low boiling point filled inside. The heat source surface is attached to the heat pipe. The temperature of the liquid medium in the heat pipe rises, and it changes from liquid to gas, bringing heat energy to both ends of the heat pipe, and the local heating on the heat pipe is turned into heating of the entire heat pipe. Usually, in order to improve the heat dissipation performance of the radiator, multiple heat pipes are embedded, resulting in a thicker radiator substrate and a higher price for heat pipes, so the cost of heat pipe radiators is very high. The phase change radiator consists of three parts: a base plate, an inflation plate, and a heat sink. The heat source is installed on the upper surface of the base plate. A low-boiling-point liquid medium is injected into the inflation plate. The heat source transfers heat energy to the inflation plate through the base plate. After the liquid medium inside the inflation plate absorbs the heat energy, its temperature rises and it changes from liquid to gas, bringing the heat to the other end of the inflation plate, making the entire inflation plate a heat source with a small temperature difference. The heat is then transferred to the heat sink and dissipated through the heat sink. Since the inflation plate is provided with a flow channel and has an uneven surface, and the base plate and the inflation plate are fixed to the surface of the inflation plate by welding, the two are only partially in contact, resulting in poor heat conduction performance and large thermal resistance of the radiator.
[0003] Therefore, the current heat sink processing is difficult and it is difficult to achieve good thermal conductivity at a low cost. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical effect achieved after adopting this technical solution is as follows: the heat source is set at the position of the substrate corresponding to the evaporation chamber, which can transfer heat to the evaporation chamber, and then conduct the heat to the liquid heat-conducting medium.

[0012] The technical effect achieved after adopting this technical solution is: the flow guide is used to control the flow direction of the heat-conducting medium in the heat-conducting cavity, which facilitates the uniform distribution of the heat-conducting medium, evenly and effectively transfers heat to the heat sink, and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink. The flow guide increases the heat exchange area of the heat-conducting medium in the heat-conducting cavity, further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide member includes a first guide member, which is arranged in the evaporation chamber and / or the condensation chamber; the length direction of the first guide member is the same as the flow direction of the heat transfer medium along the first channel to the second channel.
[0014] The technical effect achieved after adopting this technical solution is: the first guide member is used to control the flow direction of the heat-conducting medium in the evaporation chamber and the condensation chamber, guiding the heat-conducting medium to flow from the evaporation chamber into the first channel, and then flow from the first channel through the condensation chamber and the second channel back to the evaporation chamber, thereby realizing the circulation of the heat-conducting medium.

[0016] The technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that the heat-conducting medium is guided by the second guide member and the third guide member and flows alternately left and right along the heat-conducting channel, thereby increasing the flow distance and fully performing heat exchange.
[0017] Furthermore, the area of the third flow guide member is larger than that of the second flow guide member; the base is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting hole passes through to the third flow guide member.

[0019] Furthermore, the base plate further includes at least two opposite mounting bosses, and the mounting position is formed between the two mounting bosses.
[0020] The technical effect achieved after adopting this technical solution is: the mounting boss is used to position and install the installed heat source, for example, to fix the IGBT and the rectifier bridge.
