Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquid cooling plate structures, specifically a liquid cooling plate structure for die castings. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing penetration and popularization of automotive intelligence and connectivity, the proportion of automotive electronic and electrical components in automobiles is gradually increasing. The autonomous driving domain controller is responsible for realizing and controlling the autonomous driving functions of the vehicle. It needs to possess the ability to receive image information, process and judge image information, process and calculate data, provide navigation and route planning, and quickly judge and make decisions based on real-time situations. It needs to handle algorithms at the perception, decision-making, and control levels, placing the highest demands on both the hardware and software of the domain controller.

[0003] For autonomous driving and cockpit domain controllers, the performance requirements of chips are very high. Existing chips all require liquid cooling plates for cooling. However, the existing liquid cooling plates only use die-cast protrusions to conduct heat in their inner cavity. In actual use, there will be insufficient power consumption, which will require increasing the volume of the entire liquid cooling plate. This results in a large space occupied by the liquid cooling part, which restricts the layout of other components in the vehicle. In order to make reasonable arrangements of components in the vehicle, there is an urgent need to develop a corresponding liquid cooling plate structure that increases the heat dissipation power of the liquid cooling plate without changing the area occupied. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a die-cast liquid cooling plate structure that increases the heat dissipation power of the liquid cooling plate without increasing its area, thus ensuring reliable heat dissipation for the vehicle's infotainment chip.

[0005] A liquid cooling plate structure for die casting, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] The shell includes a concave heat exchange cavity, wherein at least one baffle is provided in the heat exchange cavity to form a single-path flow channel, and the shell is provided with liquid inlet and outlet holes corresponding to the beginning and end of the single-path flow channel, and a plurality of upper protruding pillars are also provided in the heat exchange cavity.

[0007] Top cover;

[0008] At least one heat exchange module, each heat exchange module including a base plate and a stacked fin or toothed structure on the upper surface;

[0009] And a pair of water taps;

[0010] The bottom surface of the heat exchange chamber of the shell is provided with a recessed base plate positioning groove corresponding to the preset position of the heat exchange module. The base plate positioning groove is arranged in the shape of the corresponding base plate. The base plate of the corresponding heat exchange module is embedded in the corresponding base plate positioning groove and connected by annular spot laser welding. Two water nozzles are respectively inserted into the corresponding liquid inlet and outlet holes and protrude outward. The upper cover is installed on the upper part of the heat exchange chamber and welded to the shell to form an integral structure. The stacked fins or spade tooth structure on the heat exchange module is used to increase the heat exchange area of ​​the medium.

[0011] Its further features are:

[0012] A baffle bar is provided inside the heat exchange cavity, which divides the heat exchange cavity into two symmetrically arranged flow channel cavities and a turning flow channel cavity. The upper surface of the baffle bar is provided with an upwardly protruding positioning strip. The back of the upper cover is provided with a contoured concave positioning cavity corresponding to the position of the upwardly protruding positioning strip. When the upper cover is installed on the shell, the upwardly protruding positioning strip is inserted into the contoured concave positioning cavity. The upwardly protruding positioning strip and the contoured concave positioning cavity are tightly fitted and connected by annular spot laser welding, which ensures that the medium flow direction is unidirectional and stable.

[0013] The housing has a concave contour edge corresponding to the edge of the top cover, and a stop platform is provided on the inner side of the housing corresponding to the concave contour edge. The bottom edge of the top cover is supported on the stop platform at the corresponding position. The edge of the top cover and the concave contour edge are tightly fitted and positioned. The tight fit gap between the edge of the top cover and the concave contour edge is formed into an integral structure by annular spot laser welding.

[0014] The deflection channel cavity is equipped with guide arc strips, which ensure that the flow direction impact force of the medium is small.

[0015] By adopting the technology of this utility model, the heat exchange module is manufactured independently. Several sets of stacked fins or toothed structures, whether complex or simple, are set as needed. The base plate of the heat exchange module is embedded and welded to the corresponding base plate positioning groove of the heat exchange cavity, so that the corresponding heat exchange module is integrated in the heat exchange cavity. Since the heat exchange area of ​​the stacked fins or toothed structures in a unit area is greater than the surface area of ​​the upper convex column, it increases the heat dissipation power of the liquid cooling plate without increasing the area of ​​the liquid cooling plate, ensuring reliable heat dissipation of the vehicle chip. Moreover, the annular spot laser welding ensures the reliable assembly of the entire structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Each heat exchange module 30 includes a base plate 31 and a stacked fin or toothed structure on the upper surface.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, a baffle 15 is provided inside the heat exchange cavity, which divides the heat exchange cavity into two symmetrically arranged flow channel cavities and a turning flow channel cavity to form a U-shaped flow channel.

[0026] A heat exchange module 30 is provided inside the heat exchange chamber. The heat exchange module 30 includes a base plate 31 and a toothed structure 32 on the upper surface.
