Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat sink technology, specifically to a low-flow-resistance gas nitrogen expansion plate heat sink. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, heat sinks, as a key temperature control component, play a vital role in many high-tech industries, especially in electronic equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, laser technology, and aerospace. However, in traditional heat sink applications, when using gas as the heat exchange medium, poor temperature uniformity is often encountered. The direct cause of this poor temperature uniformity is the excessive length of the pipeline responsible for transporting the medium. As the medium flows through the pipeline, friction occurs against the pipe wall, generating resistance and resulting in pressure loss, or friction loss. This friction loss reduces the flow rate of the medium at the end of the pipeline, ultimately leading to poor temperature uniformity and affecting the performance and stability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a low flow resistance gas nitrogen expansion plate heat sink, which can ensure the uniformity of temperature distribution inside the heat sink, effectively avoid local overheating or overcooling, and improve the stability and reliability of the entire thermal control system.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] See Figure 1-7 In one embodiment of this utility model, a low-flow-resistance gas nitrogen expansion plate heat sink includes: a cylinder 1, a liquid inlet assembly 2, a liquid collection assembly 3, and several branch pipes 4 and several fasteners 5. The cylinder 1 is fixedly installed in a vacuum container by the fasteners 5. The cylinder 1 is formed by rolling an expansion plate 11. The liquid inlet assembly 2 and the liquid collection assembly 3 are both connected to the internal cavity of the expansion plate 11 through the branch pipes 4, so that the heat exchange medium gas nitrogen can enter the cylinder 1 evenly through the liquid inlet assembly 2 and flow in the same direction. The gas nitrogen can be concentrated more quickly through the liquid collection assembly 3. This can ensure the uniformity of the internal temperature distribution of the heat sink, effectively avoid local overheating or overcooling, and improve the stability and reliability of the entire thermal control system.

[0025] Specifically, the cylinder 1 is a cylindrical structure formed by bending two heat exchange plates after sealing and welding them around its perimeter. The two heat exchange plates are connected in the middle by several evenly distributed weld points. Under the heating effect of welding, the two heat exchange plates undergo thermal expansion, forming several interconnected bulges between them. Finally, a cross-shaped weld bead is arranged in the middle of the two heat exchange plates, forming four expansion plates 11 of equal area on the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is placed horizontally, and the four independent heat sink expansion plates 11 are arranged vertically. It can also be understood that two expansion plates 11 can be enclosed to form a single cylinder. The cylinder 1 is composed of two single cylinders arranged axially.

[0026] It should be noted that the cylinder 1 has several through holes and interfaces. The function of the through holes is not limited to fixing the heat sink, providing fixing points for lighting lamps, or providing lifting points. In addition, the through holes do not damage the sealing structure after the two heat exchange plates are welded. The interfaces are used to connect with the branch pipe 4 by welding.

[0027] The liquid inlet assembly 2 is provided in two sets, with the two sets of liquid inlet assemblies 2 positioned correspondingly, and each set of liquid inlet assembly 2 is connected to two expansion plates 11. It can be understood that the two sets of liquid inlet assemblies 2 can simultaneously deliver an equal amount of heat exchange medium into the four expansion plates 11. To solve the problem of temperature uniformity, the liquid inlet assembly 2 is located at the lower end of the cylinder 1. The liquid inlet assembly 2 includes a liquid inlet pipe 21, a diversion pipe 22, and a three-way pipe 23. There are two diversion pipes 22, and the two diversion pipes 22 are arranged in the front-to-back direction at the lower end of the cylinder 1. The two diversion pipes 22 are connected in parallel and are both connected to the liquid inlet pipe 21 through the three-way pipe 23. The length direction of the liquid inlet pipe 21 and the diversion pipe 22 is the same.

[0028] Two sets of liquid inlet components 2 are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the cylinder 1. That is to say, four diversion pipes 22 are arranged in correspondence with four expansion plates 11. The diversion pipes 22 can independently deliver heat exchange medium to the expansion plates 11 at the corresponding positions.

[0029] The three-way pipe 23 consists of an inlet section 231, a first outlet section 232, and a second outlet section 233. The inlet section 231 and the second outlet section 233 are coaxial, and the axis of the inlet section 231 is perpendicular to the axis of the first outlet section 232. Furthermore, the second outlet section 233 contains a rectifying section, which includes a tapering section 2331, a connecting section 2332, and a expanding section 2333 arranged sequentially along the flow direction of the gas and nitrogen. The tapering section 2331, by reducing the pipe cross-sectional area, increases the medium velocity and also increases the pressure at the connection between the first outlet section 232 and the second outlet section 233, making the gas and nitrogen flow distribution within the first outlet section 232 and the second outlet section 233 more balanced. Additionally... The connecting section 2332 is used to stabilize the flow of the medium and avoid turbulence or eddies caused by changes in cross-section. The gradually expanding section 2333 increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe, thereby reducing the flow velocity of the medium and stabilizing the flow velocity of the gaseous nitrogen. After installation, the inlet section 231 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 21, and the first outlet section 232 and the second outlet section 233 are each connected to a branch pipe 22. When the fluid passes through the bend, the flow direction changes suddenly, causing the fluid to separate from the pipe wall, forming eddies and turbulence, which consumes energy. In particular, the resistance is the greatest and the flow loss is the most obvious at the 90° bend. Therefore, the setting of the three-way pipe 23 in this embodiment reduces the flow loss by reducing the number of bends, making the flow distribution of the first outlet section 232 and the second outlet section 233 more balanced.

[0030] The liquid collection assembly 3 is provided in two sets, both of which are located at the upper end of the cylinder 1 and are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the cylinder 1. The liquid collection assembly 3 includes an outlet pipe 32 and two manifolds 31, which are arranged in parallel. Both manifolds 31 are connected to the outlet pipe 32. The four manifolds 31 are respectively arranged to correspond to the four expansion plates 11. That is, each expansion plate 11 is provided with a diverter pipe 22 and a manifold 31. Gas nitrogen can flow unidirectionally in the diverter pipe 22, the expansion plate 11 and the manifold 31 in sequence. The manifold 31 and the diverter pipe 22 are both connected to the branch pipe 4. The multi-channel design allows for more uniform gas nitrogen flow.

[0031] This technical solution shortens the length of the delivery pipeline directly connected to the expansion plate by using parallel-connected diverter pipes. This reduces the travel distance of the gas nitrogen in the delivery pipeline, minimizing the problem of gradually decreasing gas pressure in the inlet and outlet pipelines of the heat sink. It ensures sufficient gas flow in each inlet and improves the gas circulation efficiency. The parallel-connected diverter pipes are connected to the liquid inlet pipe through a T-junction with rectification function, reducing the deflection or reversal of the gas nitrogen in the flow direction before entering the expansion plate. This makes the flow distribution in the diverter pipes more balanced, ensuring the uniformity of the internal temperature distribution of the heat sink and effectively avoiding local overheating or overcooling, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire thermal control system.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
