Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable technology, and more specifically, to a horseshoe-shaped detachable liquid-cooled structural accessory. Background Technology

[0002] In the current cable technology field, liquid cooling technology, as an efficient heat dissipation solution, is widely used in scenarios requiring high current transmission and long-term stable operation. However, traditional liquid cooling technology mainly has two mainstream approaches: "oil-coated copper" and "copper-coated water," both of which have significant drawbacks.

[0003] The "oil-coated copper" technology involves completely immersing the insulating oil on the conductor surface for circulating heat dissipation. The drawbacks of this method are as follows: First, the oil-coated conductor reduces the manufacturing efficiency of cables and terminals; second, during cable carrier operation, the conductor is prone to loosening, increasing the strand pitch and thus increasing the resistance of the power line, affecting its lifespan; third, the oil medium is constantly heated during wire operation, leading to aging and affecting the conductor's resistance; finally, this composite method also carries the risk of leakage, potentially contaminating other components and further shortening their lifespan.

[0004] The "copper-clad water" technology involves weaving the conductor around the outside of a tube, with heat transferred through water circulation inside the tube. This method also has several problems: First, similar to "oil-clad copper," its processing efficiency is relatively low; second, during cable chain operation, the conductor's pressure on the tube can easily cause wear, leading to a risk of leakage; third, the water-based coolant continuously circulates and is heated during wire operation, accelerating tube aging and potentially causing the coolant to permeate into the conductor, leading to conductor aging and short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a horseshoe-shaped separable liquid cooling structure accessory to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional liquid cooling technology mainly has two mainstream routes: "oil-coated copper" and "copper-coated water", both of which have significant defects.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a horseshoe-shaped detachable liquid cooling structure accessory, including a heat dissipation structure. The heat dissipation structure has wire-locking grooves on both sides, and a power line is installed within each wire-locking groove. The heat dissipation structure has two liquid cooling fluid channels arranged vertically inside, with the ends of the two channels connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, respectively, thus forming a cooling circuit. The outer side of the heat dissipation structure is wrapped with a reflective heat-insulating aluminum foil, and the outer wall of the power line away from the wire-locking groove is attached to the inner wall of the reflective heat-insulating aluminum foil.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section of the cable slot is arc-shaped, and the curvature is adapted to the outer wall of the power line.

[0008] Preferably, there are two power lines, namely a first power line and a second power line, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0009] Preferably, one section of each of the two liquid cooling fluid channels is connected by a U-shaped pipe, and the other end of each liquid cooling fluid channel is provided with an inlet and an outlet, respectively. The inlet is connected to an inlet pipe, and the outlet is connected to an outlet pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the liquid cooling fluid channel is fitted with a waterproof membrane.

[0011] Preferably, the cross-sectional diameter of the wire slot is greater than or equal to 5 mm, and the cross-sectional diameter of the liquid cooling fluid channel is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the material of the heat dissipation structure is thermally conductive and flame-retardant silicone rubber.

[0013] Preferably, the heat dissipation structure is equipped with tensioning ropes at equal intervals, which tighten and fix the first power line and the second power line in the wire clamping groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In this horseshoe-shaped separable liquid-cooled structure accessory, a one-in-one-out loop is formed through the designed liquid cooling channel, which effectively removes the heat generated by the power line and achieves efficient heat dissipation.

[0016] Thermally conductive and flame-retardant silicone rubber was selected as the accessory material. Its high thermal conductivity and excellent high and low temperature resistance ensure stable operation of the liquid cooling accessory structure over a wide temperature range, significantly extending the material's service life. The design separates the liquid cooling and power lines, avoiding the leakage risks associated with traditional copper-clad media or integrated media-coated copper solutions, thus improving system safety.

[0017] The arc-shaped design of the cable tray ensures full contact and fit between the cable and the heat dissipation structure, forming a good heat dissipation contact surface and improving heat transfer efficiency. The use of reflective heat-insulating aluminum foil collects and transfers the heat radiation generated by the power lines to the heat dissipation structure, further reducing the overall cable temperature.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a horseshoe-shaped detachable liquid-cooled structural accessory, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a heat dissipation structure 3. The heat dissipation structure 3 has cable trays 2 on both sides, each containing a power cable. The heat dissipation structure 3 has two liquid cooling channels 1 arranged vertically inside, with the ends of the channels connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, respectively, forming a cooling circuit. The outer side of the heat dissipation structure 3 is wrapped with reflective heat-insulating aluminum foil 6. The outer wall of the power cable away from the cable trays 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the reflective heat-insulating aluminum foil 6. When the coolant circulates within the channels, it effectively absorbs and carries away the heat generated by the power cable, ensuring that the power cable maintains a low operating temperature even under continuous high loads, thus improving the system's stability and reliability. The cable trays 2 on both sides of the heat dissipation structure 3 facilitate the installation and fixing of the power cable. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also ensures close contact between the power cable and the heat dissipation structure, promoting rapid heat transfer. The heat dissipation structure 3 is wrapped with a reflective, heat-insulating aluminum foil 6. This foil effectively reflects and isolates the heat radiation generated by the power lines, preventing heat from diffusing into the external environment. Simultaneously, the inner wall of the foil adheres to the outer wall of the power lines, further enhancing heat transfer efficiency and ensuring that heat is quickly carried away by the coolant. The entire liquid cooling structure features a horseshoe-shaped design, making it compact and easy to integrate with other components. This design not only saves space but also improves the overall aesthetics and practicality of the system.

[0026] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the wire clamping groove 2 is arc-shaped, and the curvature matches the outer wall of the power line. This design ensures that the power line fits tightly within the wire clamping groove, reducing gaps and thus improving heat transfer efficiency. The arc-shaped structure also provides uniform support for the power line, preventing damage due to uneven stress during use.

[0027] Specifically, there are two power lines, namely the first power line 4 and the second power line 5, which are symmetrically arranged. This symmetrical arrangement of the two power lines balances the load on both sides of the heat dissipation structure, preventing performance degradation caused by overheating on one side. At the same time, this design facilitates simultaneous cooling and heat dissipation of the two power lines, improving overall operating efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, one section of each of the two liquid cooling fluid channels 1 is connected by a U-shaped tube 12. The other end of each liquid cooling fluid channel 1 is respectively provided with an inlet end 13 and an outlet end 14. The inlet end 13 is connected to the inlet pipe, and the outlet end 14 is connected to the outlet pipe. The U-shaped tube connection design allows the two liquid cooling fluid channels to form a closed cooling loop, within which the coolant can circulate and continuously remove heat. The inlet and outlet ends facilitate connection to an external cooling system, enabling the recycling of the coolant.

[0029] Furthermore, a waterproof membrane 11 is installed on the inner wall of the liquid cooling channel 1. The waterproof membrane effectively prevents coolant from leaking into other parts of the heat dissipation structure, ensuring the sealing and stability of the cooling system. At the same time, the waterproof membrane also provides a layer of protection for the inner wall of the coolant channel, extending its service life.

[0030] Furthermore, the cross-sectional diameter of the cable tray 2 is greater than or equal to 5 mm, and the cross-sectional diameter of the liquid cooling channel 1 is greater than or equal to 3 mm. This dimensional design ensures that the cable tray can accommodate a sufficiently large power cable and provides ample space for coolant flow. This reasonable dimensional ratio not only improves heat dissipation efficiency but also ensures the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0031] Furthermore, the material of heat dissipation structure 3 is thermally conductive and flame-retardant silicone rubber. Thermally conductive and flame-retardant silicone rubber has excellent thermal conductivity and flame-retardant properties, enabling it to rapidly transfer heat generated by the power lines to the coolant and maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments. This material selection improves the reliability and safety of the heat dissipation structure.

[0032] Furthermore, tensioning ropes 7 are installed at equal intervals on the heat dissipation structure 3, which tighten and fix the first power line 4 and the second power line 5 in the cable clamping groove 2. The design of the tensioning ropes ensures that the power lines are firmly fixed in the cable clamping groove, preventing them from loosening or shifting during use. The evenly spaced installation method ensures a uniform distribution of tightening force, improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure. At the same time, this design also facilitates the installation and removal of the power lines.

[0033] In use, the horseshoe-shaped detachable liquid-cooled structure accessory of this utility model firstly forms a cooling circuit with two liquid-cooling channels 1 inside the heat dissipation structure 3. When the coolant enters the liquid-cooling channel 1 through the inlet pipe, it absorbs the heat generated by the power lines. The coolant that has absorbed the heat then flows out through the outlet pipe and enters the external cooling system for cooling. The cooled coolant then re-enters the liquid-cooling channel 1 through the inlet pipe, forming a circulation and continuously carrying away the heat generated by the power lines.

[0034] The reflective and heat-insulating aluminum foil 6 wrapped around the outside of the heat dissipation structure 3 effectively reflects and isolates the heat radiation generated by the power lines, preventing heat from spreading to the external environment. The inner wall of the aluminum foil is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the power lines, further enhancing the efficiency of heat transfer and ensuring that heat can be quickly carried away by the coolant.

[0035] The cable trays 2 on both sides of the heat dissipation structure 3 provide space for the installation and fixation of the power cable. The arc-shaped structure of the cable tray 2 is adapted to the outer wall of the power cable, ensuring that the power cable can fit tightly, reducing gaps and improving heat transfer efficiency. The tensioning ropes 7 installed at equal intervals on the heat dissipation structure 3 firmly fix the power cable in the cable tray 2, preventing it from loosening or shifting during use.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
