Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to heat dissipation technical field, and especially relates to a radiator and switching power supply with the radiator. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic technology, electric vehicle charging piles and charging stations are more and more popular, and the requirement for the charging power of the charging pile is continuously improved, and the electronic components in the charging pile have the development trend of integration, miniaturization, thinness, and portability, therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the heat dissipation system of the power device such as the charging pile.

[0003] At present, the common radiator generally includes a heat conduction plate and a heat dissipation fin, the front surface of the heat conduction plate is in contact with the heating element, the heat dissipation fin is arranged on the back surface of the heat conduction plate, the heat dissipated by the heat dissipation fin is first spread into the internal space of the electronic product, and then is sucked out by the fan to realize heat dissipation. If multiple heating elements are arranged in the electronic product, multiple radiators need to be arranged, or the multiple heating elements are arranged on the same radiator, which will cause the increase of the product volume and weight, or the problem of local heat accumulation, and reduces the heat dissipation effect.

[0004] At the same time, since the switching power supply of such a charging pile needs to be installed in an outdoor or basement area, it will be eroded by water vapor, dust and salt mist in the long-term use process, causing the switching power supply to fail.
