[0032] A liquid cooling heat dissipation device is disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model, and the liquid cooling heat dissipation device is a kind of equipment that utilizes and cooling liquid contact, the heat generated by heat generating module and cooling liquid heat exchange to dissipate heat, the liquid cooling heat dissipation device includes substrate 1 and Pinfin structure.
[0033] Wherein, substrate 1 and Pinfin structure adopt the material with good heat conduction performance, such as metal material, metal material includes but is not limited to aluminum alloy, copper, stainless steel, substrate 1 usually includes two oppositely arranged surfaces, one surface is used to set Pinfin structure, another surface is used to weld ceramic copper-clad plate 5, ceramic copper-clad plate 5 is a kind of electronic base material that copper foil is directly sintered on ceramic surface using DCB (Direct Copper Bonding, directly copper bonding) technology, it has excellent heat conduction performance and can help heat dissipation, the side surface of ceramic copper-clad plate 5 away from substrate 1 is used to weld the device to be cooled, i.e. heat generating module such as semiconductor chip 6, as shown in Figure 3 The heat generated by the device to be cooled is transmitted to substrate 1 and Pinfin structure through ceramic copper-clad plate 5, and heat exchange is carried out through the contact of substrate 1 and Pinfin structure with cooling liquid, to realize heat dissipation.
[0034] Pinfin structure is arranged on one side surface of substrate 1, Pinfin structure includes a plurality of heat dissipation plates 2 arranged side by side and spaced apart, heat dissipation plate 2 stands away from substrate 1, and the plate surface of heat dissipation plate 2 located on both sides of the extension direction of heat dissipation plate 2 is alternately and spaced apart from the flow guide part 3 along the extension direction of heat dissipation plate 2, the flow guide part 3 is used to increase the contact area of heat dissipation plate 2 and cooling liquid, and guide the cooling liquid to the direction away from heat dissipation plate 2.
[0035] Compared with prior art, when the liquid cooling heat dissipation device provided in the embodiment of the utility model works, the cooling liquid flows through the gap between the adjacent two heat dissipation plates 2, and under the action of the flow guide part 3 alternately arranged on both sides, the cooling liquid is alternately guided to the heat dissipation plate 2 on both sides, so that the tortuous flow is formed between the two heat dissipation plates 2, so that the structure of heat dissipation plate 2 and flow guide part 3 increases the heat exchange area of cooling liquid, and the tortuous flow of cooling liquid prolongs its residence time in Pinfin structure, so that the purpose of improving heat dissipation efficiency is finally achieved.
[0036] In order to further increase the flow effect of the cooling liquid, increase the heat exchange area of the Pinfin structure in contact with the cooling liquid, and prolong the residence time of the cooling liquid in the Pinfin structure, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , at least one of the plate surfaces on both sides of the heat dissipation plate 2 in the extension direction of the heat dissipation plate 2 is a curved surface, the curved surface includes a plurality of peak portions and a plurality of valley portions, the peak portions protrude away from the heat dissipation plate 2, the valley portions are recessed towards the inside of the heat dissipation plate 2, and each peak portion and each valley portion are alternately connected along the extension direction of the heat dissipation plate 2. This structure can further increase the length of the flow channel in the Pinfin structure, and promote the full contact of the cooling liquid with the heat dissipation plate 2 and the flow guide portion 3, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange time, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation effect.
[0037] Further optimization of the above technical solution, in an embodiment of the present application, the plate surfaces on both sides of the heat dissipation plate 2 in the extension direction of the heat dissipation plate 2 are respectively provided with curved surfaces, the peak portions of the curved surface on one side of the heat dissipation plate 2 are correspondingly arranged with the valley portions of the curved surface on the other side of the heat dissipation plate 2, that is, the heat dissipation plate 2 as a whole is in a curved structure, and a curved cooling liquid flow channel is formed between the adjacent two heat dissipation plates 2. After the cooling liquid enters the cooling liquid flow channel, under the joint action of the flow guide portion 3 and the heat dissipation plate 2, the cooling liquid alternately contacts and exchanges heat with the plate surface of the heat dissipation plate 2 and the flow guide portion 3. Not only the contact area of the heat dissipation plate 2 and the cooling liquid is increased, but also the length of the cooling liquid flow channel is prolonged, so as to effectively improve the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present application, the flow guide portion 3 is arranged at the peak top of the peak portion, and the flow guide portion 3 is used for guiding the cooling liquid to flow to the heat dissipation plate 2 on the other side, so that the cooling liquid collides with and changes direction to the heat dissipation plate 2 on the other side.
[0039] Exemplarily, in the embodiments shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the flow guide portion 3 is a flow guide column standing away from the substrate 1, the flow guide column is in the same height as the heat dissipation plate 2, and the flow guide column is in an integrated structure with the substrate 1 and the heat dissipation plate 2.
[0040] In the above embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the flow guide column is circular or elliptical, and the flow guide column is smoothly and transitionally connected with the peak top of the peak portion. In this way, when the cooling liquid is about to flow from the valley portion to the peak portion along the heat dissipation plate 2, under the action of the flow guide column, it can change direction to flow to the starting position of the valley portion of the heat dissipation plate 2 on the other side, so as to fully exchange heat with the heat dissipation plate 2 on the other side.
[0041] Of course, it should be noted that the flow guide portion 3 is not limited to the above columnar structure, in other embodiments, for example,Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the flow guide part 3 is a flow guide plate rising away from the substrate 1, and the flow guide plates on the opposite surfaces of the two adjacent heat dissipation plates 2 partially overlap, so that the flowing cooling liquid can be diverted by the flow guide plates, and the flow guide plates are inclined to the downstream side along the direction of the cooling liquid flow. In this case, the heat dissipation plate 2 can be a straight plate, or it can also be a Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 bent plate as shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation plate 2 cooperates with the flow guide plate to form a tortuous flow channel, thereby increasing the residence time of the cooling liquid in the flow channel and the heat exchange area, and thus improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0042] Further optimization of the above technical solutions, as shown in Figure 6 , the flow guide plate is an arc-shaped plate, and the connecting line of the two ends of the flow guide plate is inclined to the downstream side along the direction of the cooling liquid flow. It should be noted that the two sides of the arc-shaped plate are concave and convex arcs respectively, Figure 6 , the concave arc of the arc-shaped plate faces the direction of the incoming cooling liquid in the embodiment shown in the figure, and in other embodiments, the convex arc of the arc-shaped plate can also face the direction of the incoming cooling liquid. Compared with the straight flow guide plate, the surface area of the arc-shaped flow guide plate is larger, which can further increase the heat exchange area, improve the heat dissipation effect, and better guide the cooling liquid, reduce the kinetic energy loss of the cooling liquid, and make the cooling liquid more fully contact with the heat dissipation plates 2 on both sides.
[0043] Further, in an embodiment of the present application, a flow guide column rising away from the substrate 1 is connected to the end of the flow guide plate away from the heat dissipation plate 2, and the flow guide column is the same height as the flow guide plate. The cross-sectional shape of the flow guide plate is circular or elliptical, which can further improve the flow guiding effect on the cooling liquid and further increase the heat exchange area.
[0044] Of course, the Pinfin structure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 , the isosceles triangular protrusions are alternately and staggeringly arranged on both sides of the heat dissipation plate 2. The two equal-length sides of the isosceles triangular protrusion are concave arcs, one end of the concave arc is smoothly connected to the heat dissipation plate 2, and the other end is smoothly connected to the other concave arc. In this way, the isosceles triangular protrusions between the two adjacent heat dissipation plates 2 cooperate to form a tortuous flow channel. The isosceles triangular protrusion can not only guide the cooling liquid, but also increase the heat exchange area with the cooling liquid, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0045] As a preferred, as shown in Figures 1 to 7As shown, the liquid cooling heat dissipation device further comprises a surrounding fence 4, which is arranged around the Pinfin structure, and two ends of the heat dissipation plate 2 are respectively connected with two inner walls of the surrounding fence 4 arranged oppositely, so as to form a circumferential closed structure around the Pinfin structure, thereby facilitating the installation of the liquid cooling heat dissipation device.
