[0002] In the working process of the optical module, the chip in the optical module, especially the laser used to generate optical signals, is the main source of power consumption. Since the laser in the optical module has strict requirements on temperature, the optical module needs an effective heat dissipation system to ensure normal operation.
[0003] Currently, the optical module usually adopts metal shell heat dissipation, and the heat generated by the chip is transmitted to the metal shell through the heat-conducting glue, and then the heat is dissipated by the shell. However, in the case of high-speed transmission and high heat flux density, this heat dissipation mode may face challenges, especially when running for a long time under high load, the heat conduction efficiency will decrease, causing the internal temperature of the optical module to rise, which may cause failure, reduce the service life, and increase the failure rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings Figs. 1-3 The application is further described in detail.
[0018] The application embodiment discloses a light module heat dissipation pipe shell structure. Referring to Figs. 1-3 A light module heat dissipation pipe shell structure, comprising an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, the upper shell 1 comprises an upper clamping shell 101 internally provided with a plurality of insertion rods 102, and the lower shell 2 comprises a lower clamping shell 201 internally provided with a plurality of insertion cylinders 202, the upper clamping shell 101 is clamped and connected with the lower clamping shell 201 by buckling, and at the same time, the upper clamping shell 101 is inserted into the corresponding lower clamping shell 201 to form a complete shell for fixing the circuit board of the optical module.
[0019] Referring to Fig. 2 A plurality of heat conduction assemblies 3 are installed in the shell, the heat conduction assembly 3 comprises a heat conduction plate 301, which is used for being attached to the surface of the circuit board of the optical module and directly contacted with the electronic elements, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 302 are installed on the side of the heat conduction plate 301 away from the circuit board, the heat dissipation fins 302 slide through the shell and reach the outside of the shell. The heat conduction plate 301 and the heat dissipation fin 302 are both made of high-efficiency heat conduction material, such as aluminum nitride ceramic material, which can be directly contacted with the circuit board of the optical module, can quickly absorb the heat generated by the heat generating elements such as chips, and then transmit the heat to the shell and the heat dissipation fin 302, expand the heat dissipation area, and accelerate the overall heat dissipation efficiency.
[0020] Referring to Fig. 3Several support cylinders 4 are installed between the two heat-conducting plates 301. The support cylinders 4 are located on the outside of the circuit board and are fitted onto the insert 202 and the insert rod 102. Several pads 5 are installed on the side of the heat-conducting plate 301 away from the circuit board, and the pads 5 are respectively fitted onto the corresponding insert 202 and insert rod 102. The support cylinders 4 and the pads 5 are both made of flexible material and are used to increase the distance between the heat-conducting plate 301 and the housing, while avoiding excessive pressure on the circuit board from the heat-conducting component 3.
[0021] The implementation principle of the optical module heat dissipation shell structure in this application is as follows:
[0022] When the optical module is operating, the electronic components generate heat. This heat is first absorbed by the heat-conducting plate 301, which, due to its use of highly efficient thermally conductive materials such as aluminum nitride ceramic, can quickly transfer heat from the circuit board to itself. The heat-conducting plate 301, having absorbed the heat, then transfers it to the heat sink 302. The heat sink 302 extends outward through the outer casing, increasing the surface area in contact with the outside air, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation process.
