[0002] Plate coolers, also known as cold plates, are widely used heat transfer devices in many fields such as construction, chemical industry, manufacturing, and power. Their core function is to rapidly cool objects using the principle of heat transfer. Currently, most plate coolers on the market have built-in flow channel designs, based on the microchannel heat dissipation principle, designed to efficiently transfer heat. However, existing plate coolers generally face problems such as a simple flow channel structure and low cooling efficiency, which directly limits their full cooling performance and results in unsatisfactory overall cooling effects. Utility Model Content

A front plate and a back plate are respectively attached to both sides of the pipe. Each of the front plate and the back plate has a water inlet and a water outlet. Each of the front plate and the back plate has a flow channel leading from the water inlet to the water outlet, and a Tesla valve structure is installed in the flow channel. The path of the flow channel evenly covers the entire front plate and the back plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the Tesla valve structure is in a downstream state, including multiple direct current channels and vortex channels. One direct current channel and one vortex channel constitute a unit. A junction cavity is provided at the intersection of each direct current channel and vortex channel, and the junction cavity connects to the direct current channel and vortex channel of the next unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the front plate and back plate form a sink on one side of the flow channel, and a cover plate is provided, which seals and covers the sink.

[0008] Furthermore, the flow channel is uniformly covered on the front and back plates in a continuous loop shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the front plate and the back plate have a symmetrical structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the front plate and the back plate each have a pipe groove on the surface of the corresponding refrigerant unit, and the pipe body of the refrigerant unit is fitted into the pipe groove.

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] This utility model provides a plate-type instant cooler, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a front panel 1, a back panel 2, and a refrigerant unit 3;

[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 The refrigerant unit 3 is a pipe 4 extending from the inlet end 14 to the outlet end 15. Refrigerant flows from the inlet end 14 to the outlet end 15 inside the pipe 4. A front plate 1 and a back plate 2 are respectively attached to both sides of the pipe 4 of the refrigerant unit 3. The front plate 1 and the back plate 2 are each provided with a water inlet 5 and a drain outlet 6. The front plate 1 and the back plate 2 are each provided with a flow channel 16 that leads from the water inlet 5 to the drain outlet 6, and a Tesla valve structure 7 is provided in the flow channel 16. The path of the flow channel 16 evenly covers the entire front plate 1 and the back plate 2.

[0026] This device can be used to cool various fluids and has a wide range of applications. Taking 25°C room temperature water as an example, during operation, room temperature water is input from the inlet 5 of the front plate 1 and the back plate 2. The room temperature water in the front plate 1 and the back plate 2 flows in the flow channel 16. Refrigerant is input from the inlet 14 of the refrigerant unit 3. The front plate 1 and the back plate 2 serve as heat exchange mediums. While the refrigerant flows through the pipe body 4, it carries away the heat from the flow channel 16 of the front plate 1 and the back plate 2. By utilizing the principle of reverse flow of the Tesla valve to increase turbulence, the water flow can fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the Tesla valve flow channel. The refrigerant is used to quickly cool the room temperature water (25°C) to ice water (5-10°C).

[0027] Among them, the Tesla valve structure 7 is in a downstream state, combined with Figure 5 It includes multiple direct current channels 8 and vortex channels 9. One direct current channel 8 and one vortex channel 9 constitute a unit. A junction cavity 10 is provided at the intersection of each direct current channel 8 and vortex channel 9, and the junction cavity 10 connects to the direct current channel 8 and vortex channel 9 of the next unit. When the fluid passes through the Tesla valve, the fluid will be divided into two parts with different directions, the direct current channel 8 and the vortex channel 9. This not only reduces the pressure but also increases the contact area between the fluid and the front and back plates 2, thus achieving sufficient cooling.

[0028] This invention does not limit the materials of the front plate 1 and the back plate 2, but preferably the front plate 1 and the back plate 2 are aluminum plates with low cost and high thermal conductivity.

[0029] This invention does not limit the distribution and shape of the flow channels 16. In a preferred embodiment, the flow channels 16 are continuously and uniformly distributed in a U-shape over the front plate 1 and the back plate 2. The inlet 5 and outlet 6 are close to each other and located on the same side, which can greatly increase the area of ​​the flow channels 16 and improve the cooling efficiency. The outlet 6 of the front plate 1 can be connected in series with the inlet 5 of the back plate 2 through a pipe, so that the fluid passes through the two plates, resulting in better cooling effect.

[0030] To facilitate inspection of the flow channel 16, the flow channel 16 is designed as a detachable structure. The front plate 1 and the back plate 2 form a sink 11 on one side of the flow channel 16, and a cover plate 12 is provided. The cover plate 12 seals and covers the sink 11. After the cover plate 12 is opened, the flow channel 16 can be inspected.

[0031] To increase refrigerant flow, the refrigerant unit 3 has multiple pipes 4 arranged side-by-side. One end of each pipe 4 is connected to the inlet 14, and the other end is connected to the outlet 15. This increases the contact area between the refrigerant unit 3 and the front and back plates 2, resulting in better cooling. Furthermore, the front and back plates 1 and 2 each have a pipe groove 13 on the surface corresponding to the refrigerant unit 3. The pipes 4 of the refrigerant unit 3 are fitted into the pipe grooves 13. The design of the pipe grooves 13 allows for a more precise fit between the front and back plates 1 and the pipes 4 of the refrigerant unit 3, improving installation compatibility. The front and back plates 1 and 2 are fixed together using fasteners (such as screws), thus clamping and fixing the refrigerant unit 3 between them.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the front plate 1 and the back plate 2 are symmetrical in structure to facilitate manufacturing.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
