Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat dissipation technology for power converters, and specifically relates to a heat dissipation device for power converters. Background Technology
[0002] Power converters generate a lot of heat during use. Typical cooling mechanisms rely on airflow for heat dissipation. However, even with airflow cooling, a significant amount of heat remains inside the power converter. Excessive heat can damage the components inside the power converter and affect its lifespan.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219761739U, published on September 26, 2023, discloses a heat dissipation mechanism for a power converter, including a converter with a housing and a heat dissipation assembly inside the housing. The heat dissipation assembly includes a fixing plate with a heat dissipation shell on the fixing plate and a cooling fan inside the heat dissipation shell. A guide rod is provided inside the converter, one end of which is connected to the cooling fan. A heat-absorbing plate is also provided inside the converter, with multiple air ducts arranged in a linear array on the heat-absorbing plate. Multiple heat dissipation holes are arranged in a linear array between two air ducts. Both ends of the heat-absorbing plate are connected to opposite sides of the heat dissipation shell. However, power converters have internal components that generate a large amount of heat, and space is limited, making it difficult to dissipate the heat quickly. Due to space constraints, it is impossible to install a fan for forced air cooling; therefore, the technical solution in this patent is not applicable. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, the tips of the fins are directed in the same direction as the flow direction of the cooling liquid.
[0015] Preferably, the double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channel has a rectangular, circular or elliptical cross section.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solution are as follows:
[0017] First, the heat dissipated by the heat generating device is conducted to the liquid cooling plate through the heat-conducting pad, and the heat is carried away by the heat exchange medium in the double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channel, thereby meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the power converter; wherein the fins arranged in the double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channel enhance the flow capacity of the flow channel and thereby enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the liquid cooling plate, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the liquid cooling plate.
[0018] Second, the two double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channels are arranged symmetrically left and right in the liquid cooling plate to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the liquid cooling plate.
[0019] Third, compared with the serpentine flow channel, the double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channel reduces the laminar flow section in the flow channel and has stronger flow capacity, and the water-drop-shaped fins are arranged in the laminar flow section and the temperature accumulation position in the double-labyrinth liquid cooling flow channel, thereby enhancing the flow capacity of the section and the heat dissipation capacity of the liquid cooling plate, and making the temperature of the liquid cooling plate more uniform.
