Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiator technology, and in particular to a radiator equipped with flat copper tubes. Background Technology

[0002] In the radiator manufacturing industry, heat dissipation efficiency and structural stability are important indicators for evaluating product performance. Traditionally, radiator manufacturing often employs in-mold die-casting with copper tubing to enhance the radiator's heat conduction and structural strength. While this method meets heat dissipation requirements to some extent, it has limitations in the face of ever-increasing demands for heat dissipation and ever-improving structural stability.

[0003] The in-mold copper tube die-casting process is relatively complex, requiring high precision in the die-casting mold, and is prone to defects such as substandard castings and poor heat dissipation of the die-cast copper tubes. Because the bonding degree between the copper tube and the die-casting material in the molten state is difficult to control precisely, defects such as porosity and inclusions often exist inside the casting, severely affecting the product's heat dissipation performance and structural stability. Once a casting is substandard, the entire product often needs to be scrapped, which not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency.

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of in-mold copper tube die casting, installing copper tubes in radiators and using a simple assembly method has become a new trend. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a heat sink with a flat copper tube assembly, which solves the problems of relatively complex operation of the die-casting molding method with copper tubes placed in the mold, high precision requirements for the die-casting mold, and easy occurrence of unqualified castings and poor heat dissipation effect of the die-cast copper tubes.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a radiator equipped with a flat copper tube, the radiator comprising a radiator body, a heat dissipation copper tube, a working element and a fixing coating;

[0007] The radiator body is provided with stepped grooves, and the heat dissipation copper pipes are installed in the stepped grooves.

[0008] The heat dissipation copper pipe is fixed to the stepped groove by the fixing coating;

[0009] The working element is mounted on the heat sink body and is located above the heat dissipation copper pipe;

[0010] In the vertical direction, the projection of the heat dissipation copper pipe and the projection of the working element partially overlap;

[0011] In a vertical cross-section, the bottom of the stepped groove has an arc-shaped structure, and the top of the stepped groove has a step-shaped structure.

[0012] In a vertical cross-section, the bottom of the heat dissipation copper pipe has an arc-shaped structure, and the top of the heat dissipation copper pipe has a flat structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the radiator body is also provided with a mounting groove. In the vertical direction, the projection of the mounting groove coincides with the projection of the heat dissipation copper pipe. In the overlapping projection portion, the heat dissipation copper pipe is exposed. The working element is mounted in the mounting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the radiator also includes a plurality of toothed fins, which are evenly spaced on the outer surface of the radiator body.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two stepped grooves arranged in parallel, and there are two heat dissipation copper pipes, each of which is installed in one stepped groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the radiator also includes two sets of diagonal bracing structures, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the radiator body.

[0017] Furthermore, each set of the diagonal bracing structure is a truncated quadrangular bracing, which is located in the middle of the side of the radiator body.

[0018] Furthermore, each set of the diagonal bracing structures includes several evenly spaced diagonal bracing plates, and these two sets of structures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the radiator body.

[0019] Furthermore, the radiator also includes a rear cover, and the radiator body is provided with several mounting seats; the rear cover is installed on the radiator body through the mounting seats.

[0020] Furthermore, the stepped groove has an overall broken line structure, and the middle part of the stepped groove is provided with an arc structure, which connects the two ends of the stepped groove.

[0021] Furthermore, the working element is a chip.

[0022] The technical solution provided by this utility model can include the following beneficial effects: the heat dissipation copper pipe is limited and installed in the stepped groove, the heat dissipation copper pipe is fixed to the stepped groove by the fixing coating, and the working element is located above the heat dissipation copper pipe; in the vertical direction, the projection of the heat dissipation copper pipe and the projection of the working element partially overlap; the heat dissipation copper pipe and the working element form a stable and efficient heat conduction path, wherein the top of the stepped groove has a stepped structure, and the two sides of the stepped structure are respectively provided with inwardly recessed arc grooves. The stepped structure provides a deformation space for the circular copper pipe. When the circular copper pipe is processed by the hydraulic press, the circular copper pipe can be smoothly processed into a flat shape without copper pipe breakage. In addition, the arc groove can also limit the heat dissipation copper pipe. This technical solution solves the problems of relatively complicated operation of the in-mold copper pipe die casting molding scheme, high precision requirements for the die casting mold, easy occurrence of unqualified castings and poor heat dissipation effect of die-cast copper pipe.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further illustrated through specific implementation methods.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a radiator equipped with a flat copper tube is provided. The radiator includes a radiator body 1, a copper tube 2, a working element 3, and a fixing coating 4. The radiator body 1 is provided with a stepped groove 11, and the copper tube 2 is installed in the stepped groove 11 and fixed to the stepped groove by the fixing coating. The working element 3 is installed on the radiator body 1 and is located above the copper tube 2. In the vertical direction, the projections of the copper tube 2 and the working element 3 partially overlap. In the vertical cross-section, the bottom of the stepped groove 11 has an arc-shaped structure 111, the top of the stepped groove 11 has a step-shaped structure 112, and the two sides of the step-shaped structure 112 are respectively provided with inwardly recessed arc grooves 113. In the vertical cross-section, the bottom of the copper tube 2 has an arc-shaped structure, and the top of the copper tube 2 has a flat structure.

[0034] Specifically, the radiator body 1 is provided with the stepped groove 11. The stepped groove 11 and the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 exhibit a unique shape in the vertical cross-section: the bottom of the stepped groove 11 matches the bottom contour of the heat dissipation copper pipe 2, ensuring good fit and heat conduction efficiency; during the production process, a hydraulic press presses the circular copper pipe into the stepped groove 11 and flattens the top of the circular copper pipe. The top of the stepped groove 11 is a stepped structure 112, and the stepped structure 112 has inwardly recessed arc grooves on both sides. 113, the arc groove 113 can provide a deformation space for the top of the circular copper tube, and after the top of the circular copper tube is deformed, the arc groove 113 limits and fixes the heat dissipation copper tube 2; therefore, the top of the heat dissipation copper tube 2 is limited and installed on the top of the stepped groove 11, and the heat dissipation copper tube 2 is fixed to the stepped groove 11 by the fixing coating 4; this technical solution solves the problems of relatively complicated operation of the in-mold copper tube die casting molding scheme, high precision requirements for die casting mold, and easy occurrence of unqualified castings during the production process.

[0035] It should be noted that one or more stepped grooves 11 are provided on the radiator body 1. In this embodiment of the present invention, there are two stepped grooves 11, which are arranged in parallel on the radiator body 1. Each stepped groove 11 contains a heat dissipation copper pipe 2. Multiple working elements 3 are provided on the radiator body 1. Multiple working elements can be arranged correspondingly on one heat dissipation copper pipe 2. In this embodiment of the present invention, one heat dissipation copper pipe 2 corresponds to two working elements 3.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the heat sink body 1 is further provided with a mounting groove 12. In the vertical direction, the projection of the mounting groove 12 coincides with the projection of the heat dissipation copper pipe 2. In the overlapping projection portion, the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 is exposed. The working element 3 is mounted in the mounting groove 12.

[0037] Specifically, the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 is exposed in the mounting groove 12, and the working element 3 is directly installed in the mounting groove 12. The working element 3 and the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 are fitted together, forming a tight heat conduction path. The working element 3 transfers the generated heat to the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 through heat conduction, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.

[0038] It should be noted that the heat sink body 1 has multiple mounting slots 12, and each mounting slot 12 corresponds to a working element 3. The mounting slots 12 are machined using CNC machining. The full name of CNC machining method is Computer Digital Control (Computerized Numerical Control) machining, which can also be called Computer Numerical Control (Computer Numerical Control) machining.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the radiator further includes a plurality of toothed fins 6, which are evenly spaced on the outer surface of the radiator body 1.

[0040] Specifically, the outer surface of the radiator body 1 mentioned here refers to the side without the stepped groove 11. The heat dissipation area of ​​the radiator is significantly expanded by the several toothed plates 6. Since the surface area of ​​the toothed plates 6 in contact with the air is increased, the radiator can more effectively transfer internal heat to the surrounding environment, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0041] It should be noted that the toothed plate 6 has a plate-like thin sheet structure, and the material of the toothed plate 6 is aluminum alloy or copper alloy; the installation position of the toothed plate 6 is consistent with the installation position of the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 in the vertical direction.

[0042] In one optional embodiment, there are two stepped grooves 11 arranged in parallel, and there are two heat dissipation copper pipes 2, each heat dissipation copper pipe 2 being arranged in one stepped groove 1.

[0043] Specifically, the parallel arrangement of the two stepped grooves 11 and the two heat dissipation copper pipes 2 not only increases the heat dissipation area but also increases the space available for the installation of the working element 3, thereby improving the space utilization of the radiator. At the same time, the number of heat dissipation copper pipes 2 can be adjusted according to the size of the radiator.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the radiator further includes two sets of diagonal bracing structures, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the radiator body 1.

[0045] Specifically, the function of the diagonal bracing structure is to provide additional support and stability for the radiator body 1. During the process of pressing the top of the circular copper tube into a flat shape, the radiator body 1 needs to withstand enormous pressure, and the diagonal bracing structure can provide additional support and stability, effectively protecting the radiator body 1.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, each set of the diagonal bracing structure is a truncated quadrangular brace 51, which is located in the middle of the side of the radiator body 1.

[0047] Specifically, the design of the truncated pyramidal brace 51 allows the brace structure to better distribute and resist external forces and vibrations from all directions while providing support. The large base area of ​​the truncated pyramidal brace 51 provides more stable support, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and stability of the radiator. Considering the installation and maintenance needs of the radiator, the truncated pyramidal brace 51 can be designed to be detachable, so that the radiator can be cleaned or replaced when needed.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, each set of the diagonal bracing structures includes a plurality of evenly spaced diagonal bracing plates 52, and the two sets of diagonal bracing structures are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the radiator body 1.

[0049] Specifically, the presence of the diagonal bracing plates 52 provides additional support for the radiator, enhancing its overall structural strength and stability. Since the diagonal bracing plates 52 are evenly spaced, they can not only more effectively disperse and resist external forces and vibrations from all directions, but also effectively resist thermal deformation caused by prolonged operation at high temperatures, ensuring the radiator remains stable under various operating conditions.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the radiator further includes a rear cover; the radiator body 1 is also provided with a mounting base 13; the rear cover is mounted to the radiator body 1 through the mounting base 13.

[0051] Specifically, the rear cover provides a physical barrier that effectively protects the components inside the radiator body 1. The rear cover is installed on the radiator body through a mounting base and screws. Screws are common hardware components that not only provide a firm connection but also facilitate installation and disassembly, improving production efficiency. The rear cover and the radiator body 1 form a stable integrated structure. This connection method not only improves the overall strength of the radiator but also enhances its resistance to vibration and impact, ensuring that the radiator maintains a stable working state under various operating conditions.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the stepped groove 11 has an overall broken line structure, and the middle part of the stepped groove 11 is provided with an arc structure 111, which connects the two ends of the stepped groove 11.

[0053] Specifically, the zigzag structure of the stepped groove 11 enhances the path of the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 in the stepped groove 11, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area and enabling heat to be dissipated more effectively through the heat dissipation copper pipe 2.

[0054] In an alternative embodiment, the working element 3 is a chip.

[0055] Specifically, the chip, as a component that generates a large amount of heat, has high heat dissipation requirements. Since the projection of the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 and the projection of the working element 3 partially overlap in the vertical direction, and the working element 3 is located above the heat dissipation copper pipe 2, this means that the heat generated by the chip can be transferred to the heat dissipation copper pipe 2 more directly and efficiently through heat conduction. This direct heat transfer path reduces thermal resistance and improves heat dissipation efficiency. This design not only improves the heat dissipation effect of the chip, but also helps to extend the service life of the chip.

[0056] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
