[0028] The aluminum shell 1 is provided with a fitting outer edge 14 on the outer periphery of the accommodating cavity 11, which is provided with a sealing groove 141 for accommodating a sealing ring to seal the accommodating cavity 11. Specifically, the fitting outer edge 14 is provided with multiple connecting columns 142 provided with connecting holes 143.

At the same time, the multiple mounting positioning pins 144 further ensure the accurate positioning of the aluminum shell 1 in the heat dissipation structure, avoiding problems such as poor heat dissipation or structural damage caused by positional deviation.
[0029] The aluminum shell 1 is integrally formed by casting from aluminum alloy or pure aluminum. Specifically, the aluminum shell 1 is provided with a first interface slot 15 and a second interface slot 16 on both sides, and one end of each of the first interface slot 15 and the second interface slot 16 is communicated to the accommodation cavity 11. In this embodiment, the design of the aluminum shell 1 fully utilizes the excellent heat conduction performance of aluminum alloy or pure aluminum, which can effectively conduct the heat generated by the chip to the surface of the aluminum shell 1, and then dissipate the heat quickly through natural convection or forced air cooling. In addition, the first interface slot 15 and the second interface slot 16 provided on both sides of the aluminum shell 1 not only provide convenience for the interface connection of the power adapter, but also one end of each of the two interface slots is communicated to the accommodation cavity 11, which further optimizes the heat dissipation path, so that the heat can be more smoothly conducted from the chip to the outside of the aluminum shell 1.

[0030] A copper cladding layer is formed on the heat transfer surface 12 by spraying, and the surface of the copper cladding layer is a flat surface for adhering the aluminum substrate 2; the heat transfer surface 12 is provided with a mounting hole, and the aluminum substrate 2 is provided with a through hole for fixing the aluminum substrate 2 on the heat transfer surface 12 by a screw.

In addition, by providing the mounting hole and the through hole and fixing the aluminum substrate 2 on the heat transfer surface 12 by the screw, a stable mechanical connection is achieved. This fixing method not only ensures the stability of the heat dissipation structure, but also helps to maintain good contact between the aluminum substrate 2 and the heat transfer surface 12, further improving the heat dissipation effect. More specifically, by using the design of the fixed pressing hole and the pressing block 121, the aluminum substrate 2 is pressed tightly on the heat transfer surface 12, which effectively prevents loosening caused by vibration or temperature change. The pressing block 121 cooperates with the pressing groove on the aluminum substrate 2 to form additional fixing force, further enhancing the reliability and durability of the heat dissipation structure.
[0031] The aluminum substrate 2 is provided with an insulating layer, and the heat transfer area 21 is exposed on the insulating layer. In this embodiment, the aluminum substrate 2 itself has good heat conduction performance and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the chip away, effectively reducing the internal temperature of the power adapter. By setting the insulating layer, electrical safety can be ensured, and problems such as current leakage or short circuit can be avoided, further improving the reliability of the product. Secondly, by exposing the heat transfer area 21 on the insulating layer, the heat dissipation performance of the aluminum substrate 2 can be maximized. This design allows heat to be more directly and quickly transferred to the external environment, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0032] The heat-generating chip 31 is provided with a heat-conducting metal sheet 311, one side of which is attached to the heat transfer area 21. In this embodiment, the heat-conducting metal sheet 311 serves as an efficient heat conduction medium, with one side closely attached to the heat transfer area 21 of the chip, capable of quickly absorbing and dispersing the heat generated during the operation of the chip. This design greatly improves the heat transfer efficiency and effectively reduces the temperature rise of the chip, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the chip. In addition, the use of the heat-conducting metal sheet 311 also enhances the overall heat dissipation performance of the power adapter. Through heat exchange with the surrounding environment, the heat-conducting metal sheet 311 can further release heat to the outside, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat inside the power adapter. This not only prolongs the service life of the power adapter, but also improves its working efficiency and safety.
