[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the utility model without a cover plate.
[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure with a cover plate of the utility model.

[0017] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] See also Figures 1-2 The utility model includes a base 1, and upper side sealing plates 2 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the base 1. A positioning groove portion 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 1, the positioning groove communicates with the upper and lower ends, and a heat sink 4 is assembled at the positioning groove; the positioning groove is set as a first mouth body 5 and a second mouth body 6; the heat sink 4 includes an aluminum radiator 7 assembled in the first mouth body 5 and a copper radiator 8 assembled in the second mouth body 6; the aluminum radiator 7 is a high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy, and the copper radiator 8 is a copper alloy.
[0019] This technical solution mainly makes technical improvements based on a solution with simple structure and excellent heat dissipation.
[0020] The first assembly method is without the cover plate 9. The heat sink 4 is directly assembled with the base 1. The heat sink 4 is installed on the base 1 through the positioning groove 3 and assembled and fixed by soldering. This technology uses a multi-segment connection. Specifically, the positioning groove is set as the first mouth body 5 and the second mouth body 6. The heat sink 4 is set as an aluminum heat sink 7 assembled in the first mouth body 5 and a copper heat sink 8 assembled in the second mouth body 6. This achieves efficient heat dissipation, uses copper for the high power consumption part and aluminum for the low power consumption part, and solves the problem of high power consumption heat dissipation. The thermal conductivity of copper parts is better than that of aluminum parts, but the processing technology of aluminum parts is simpler than that of copper parts. By disassembling the heat sink and combining different structures, it is possible to meet the heat dissipation needs of high-power chips and produce at a lower cost. At the same time, compared with the same structure, the heat dissipation effect of this design can be reduced by 5 degrees.
[0021] The second assembly method is to use soldering to cover the upper ends of the aluminum radiator 7 and the copper radiator 8 with a sheet metal cover 9. The purpose of adding the cover 9 to the surface is to meet the agreed flatness and roughness requirements.

Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the above-disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present invention, which do not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
