Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or cannot be realized, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation structure and a power device heat dissipation module, which can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation structure and the power device heat dissipation module.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation structure, which comprises: a first plate body 100 and a heat dissipation tooth 200, the heat dissipation tooth 200 is arranged on one side of the first plate body 100, the other side of the first plate body 100 is thermally coupled with a power device, and the power device can include an Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). Any heat dissipation tooth 200 protrudes from the first plate body 100, and at least one surface of at least one heat dissipation tooth 200 is recessed inward.

[0033] The technical scheme of the present application adopts the arrangement of multiple heat dissipation teeth 200 in the heat dissipation structure, any heat dissipation tooth 200 protrudes from the first plate body 100, and at least one surface of at least one heat dissipation tooth 200 is recessed inward. Compared with the outward protruding arrangement of the outer surface of the rhombus or oval heat dissipation tooth 200, by arranging the at least one surface of the heat dissipation tooth 200 to be recessed inward, when the heat dissipation medium flows through the heat dissipation tooth 200, the recessed surface can improve the heat dissipation contact area between the heat dissipation medium and the heat dissipation tooth 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation structure.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1-2 The heat dissipation structure comprises multiple heat dissipation teeth 200, and the multiple heat dissipation teeth 200 are arranged in an array on the first plate body 100. The multiple heat dissipation teeth 200 arranged in an array comprise: a first heat dissipation tooth 210 and a second heat dissipation tooth 220, the first heat dissipation tooth 210 and the second heat dissipation tooth 220 are arranged adjacent to each other, at least one surface of the first heat dissipation tooth 210 is a recessed surface S1, at least one surface of the second heat dissipation tooth 220 is a protruding surface S2, and the recessed surface S1 and the protruding surface S2 are arranged oppositely.

[0035] It is understood that, preferably, the second heat dissipation tooth 220 can have the same shape as the first heat dissipation tooth 210, such as... Figure 2 , Figures 3B-3D As shown, both the second heat dissipation tooth 220 and the first heat dissipation tooth 210 have a concave surface S1. When the heat dissipation medium flows through the first heat dissipation tooth 210 and the second heat dissipation tooth 220, the concave surface S1 can help increase the heat dissipation contact area between the heat dissipation medium and the first heat dissipation tooth 210 and the second heat dissipation tooth 220, thereby helping to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation structure.

[0036] In other embodiments, the second heat dissipation tooth 220 may also have a protruding surface S2 that protrudes from the recessed surface S1 of the first heat dissipation tooth 210, such as... Figures 3A-3B As shown, the location of the recessed surface of the first heat dissipation tooth 210 is not limited. By setting at least one surface of the first heat dissipation tooth 210 to be recessed inward, it is beneficial to increase the heat dissipation contact area between the heat dissipation medium and the heat dissipation tooth 200 when the heat dissipation medium flows through the heat dissipation tooth 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation structure.

[0037] It is understood that the accompanying drawings only show some optional embodiments of this application. The specific structural forms of the first heat dissipation tooth 210 and the second heat dissipation tooth 220 are not limited, as long as the first heat dissipation tooth 210 includes at least one recessed surface S1.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a power device heat dissipation module, which includes: a cover plate 300 and a heat dissipation structure according to any of the foregoing embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a receiving cavity 400 is provided between the cover plate 300 and the first plate 100, and the receiving cavity 400 can accommodate a heat dissipation medium. Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a heat dissipation structure, which includes: a first plate 100 and heat dissipation teeth 200. The heat dissipation teeth 200 are disposed on one side of the first plate 100, and the other side of the first plate 100 is thermally coupled to a power device. Any heat dissipation tooth 200 protrudes from the first plate 100, and at least one surface of at least one heat dissipation tooth 200 is recessed inward.

[0039] The technical solution of this application adopts a heat dissipation structure in the heat dissipation module of the power device. The heat dissipation structure is provided with multiple heat dissipation teeth 200. Each heat dissipation tooth 200 protrudes from the first plate 100, and at least one surface of at least one heat dissipation tooth 200 is recessed inward. Compared with the rhomboid or elliptical heat dissipation teeth 200, the recessed surface S1 is beneficial to increasing the heat dissipation contact area between the heat dissipation medium and the heat dissipation tooth 200 when the heat dissipation medium flows through the heat dissipation tooth 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and heat dissipation capacity of the power device.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 The accommodating cavity 400 includes a first region 410 and a second region 420, the first region 410 corresponds to the upper bridge region of the power device, and the second region 420 corresponds to the lower bridge region of the power device. Since the heat generated by the upper bridge region of the power device is greater than the heat generated by the lower bridge region, the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the first region 410 can be greater than the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the second region 420. By increasing the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the first region 410, the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410 can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 can be improved, thereby achieving better heat dissipation effect.

[0041] As shown in Figure 5 In an embodiment, the cover plate 300 has a first step surface 310 and a second step surface 320. The distance between the heat dissipation fin 200 in the first region 410 and the first step surface 310 is greater than the distance between the heat dissipation fin 200 in the second region 420 and the second step surface 320. Therefore, the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the first region 410 is greater than the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the second region 420. Therefore, the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410 can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 can be improved, thereby achieving better heat dissipation effect.

[0042] As shown in Figure 6 In another embodiment, the length of the heat dissipation fin 200 in the first region 410 is greater than the length of the heat dissipation fin 200 in the second region 420. Therefore, the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the first region 410 is greater than the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation fin 200 away from the first plate body 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the second region 420. Therefore, the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410 can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 can be improved, thereby achieving better heat dissipation effect.

[0043] As shown in Figure 7As shown, in another embodiment, the first plate 100 has a third stepped surface 110 and a fourth stepped surface 120. The distance between the heat dissipation teeth 200 on the third stepped surface 110 and the cover plate 300 is greater than the distance between the heat dissipation teeth 200 on the fourth stepped surface 120 and the cover plate 300. This makes the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation teeth 200 away from the first plate 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the first region 410 greater than the distance between the end face of the heat dissipation teeth 200 away from the first plate 100 and the inner surface of the cover plate 300 in the second region 420. This can increase the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 and achieving a better heat dissipation effect.

[0044] It should be noted that the method of forming the gap includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned content. Those skilled in the art can determine the method of forming the gap according to actual needs, so as to achieve that the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410 is greater than the flow rate in the second region 420, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 and achieving a better heat dissipation effect.

[0045] It is understandable that by setting the tooth arrangement density of the heat dissipation teeth 200 in the first region 410 to be greater than that in the second region 420, the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium in the first region 410 can be greater than that in the second region 420, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first region 410 and achieving a better heat dissipation effect.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the first plate 100 includes multiple parallel water channels 130. A heat dissipation medium can flow within the water channels 130 to dissipate heat from the power devices. A partition 140 separates adjacent water channels 130. By arranging multiple water channels 130 in parallel, the heat dissipation medium can be evenly distributed across different heat source areas, maintaining a balanced heat dissipation efficiency. This reduces the flow resistance of the heat dissipation medium and helps to make the temperatures of the upper and lower bridge regions of the power devices similar, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency and capability.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, the first plate 100 also includes an inlet 150 and an outlet 160. The inlet 150 and the outlet 160 are located on the left and right sides of the first plate 100, respectively. The inlet 150 is located in the first region 410, and the outlet 160 is located in the second region 420. The inlet 150 and the outlet 160 are arranged diagonally. When the heat dissipation medium flows out from the outlet 160, it is beneficial to increase the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium to the outlet 160, which is beneficial to achieving a uniform heat dissipation effect.

[0048] Preferably, the edges of the heat dissipation teeth 200 are arranged in a streamlined manner to facilitate the reduction of resistance when the heat dissipation medium flows in the water channel 130, thereby optimizing the flow rate. The gap between the adjacent first heat dissipation teeth 210 and the second heat dissipation teeth 220 is greater than 0.9 mm, which ensures smooth flow of the heat dissipation medium while increasing the number of the first heat dissipation teeth 210 and the second heat dissipation teeth 220 on the first plate body 100 with limited space, thereby facilitating the increase of the heat dissipation contact area between the heat dissipation medium and the first heat dissipation teeth 210, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency and the heat dissipation capacity. In addition, during the production and processing of the heat dissipation structure, the distance between the first heat dissipation teeth 210 and the second heat dissipation teeth 220 can be set in advance on the processing mold of the first plate body 100, so as to process and produce the heat dissipation structure in batches, which meets the actual production requirements and improves the production efficiency.

[0049] As shown in Figures 6-7 , the accommodation cavity 400 includes a third region 430 corresponding to the non-heat source region of the power device, and the heat dissipation structure further includes a plurality of third heat dissipation teeth 230 for dissipating heat from the third region 430, and the cross section of the third heat dissipation teeth 230 is in an elliptical shape. In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the tooth arrangement density of the third heat dissipation teeth 230 is less than that of the first heat dissipation teeth 210 and the second heat dissipation teeth 220, and it can be understood that the number of the first heat dissipation teeth 210 and the second heat dissipation teeth 220 is also greater than that of the third heat dissipation teeth 230, so that the heat dissipation effect of the heat source region is better than that of the non-heat source region, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat source region and achieving better overall heat dissipation effect. Those skilled in the art can also set the cross-sectional area of the third heat dissipation teeth 230 to be rhombic, square, etc. according to actual needs, so as to optimize the heat dissipation effect of the non-heat source region.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation based on the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
