Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat sink technology, and in particular to a side-blowing graphics card air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] In high-performance computing and data center applications, servers are typically equipped with one or more graphics processing units (GPUs), or graphics cards, to accelerate image rendering, deep learning algorithm training, and other computationally intensive tasks. As GPU performance continues to improve, the heat generated during operation also increases accordingly. Therefore, efficient thermal management is crucial for maintaining GPU stability and extending its lifespan.
[0003] Traditional graphics card cooling solutions primarily employ direct-blowing air cooling designs, where a fan blows cool air directly over the heatsink fins, and then exhausts the hot air through vents located at the rear of the graphics card. However, in server environments with multiple graphics cards installed side-by-side, this design has significant limitations. When the exhaust vent of one graphics card's heatsink is directly facing another, the exhaust air directly enters the working area of the adjacent graphics card, causing the latter's ambient temperature to rise sharply, creating the so-called "heat island effect." This not only affects the cooling efficiency of adjacent graphics cards but can also lead to uncontrolled temperature fluctuations throughout the entire system, thereby limiting system performance and potentially causing hardware damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention aims to at least solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler, in which airflow passes through the heat dissipation fins and is discharged from the side air outlet, avoiding hot air being blown directly onto adjacent graphics cards, effectively improving the heat dissipation effect in multi-graphics card configurations, and ensuring that each graphics card can operate in a relatively low-temperature and stable environment.
[0005] A side-blowing graphics card air cooler according to some embodiments of the present invention includes a base plate and a housing.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a side-blowing graphics card air cooler has a groove provided on the connecting plate.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a side-blowing graphics card air cooler has an arc-shaped baffle provided in the accommodating space, and the baffle is located at the end of the turbine fan away from the heat-conducting component.

[0027] A side-blowing graphics card air cooler includes a base plate 1 and a housing 2. A receiving space 3 is provided between the base plate 1 and the housing 2. A turbine fan 4 and a heat-conducting component 5 are disposed in the receiving space 3. The heat-conducting component 5 includes a heat-conducting base plate 6, a heat-conducting top plate 7, and multiple heat dissipation fins 8. The multiple heat dissipation fins 8 are arranged vertically between the heat-conducting base plate 6 and the heat-conducting top plate 7, and are arranged side by side. A fitting part 9 is provided at the bottom of the heat-conducting base plate 6, and the fitting part 9 passes through the base plate 1. The turbine fan 4 is located at one end of the heat-conducting component 5. An air outlet 10 is opened on the side wall of the housing 2, and the air outlet 10 is located at the other end of the heat-conducting component 5. An air inlet 11 is opened on the top of the housing 2. A connector 12 is provided on the outer side of the base plate 1, and a wiring port 13 is opened at the end of the base plate 1 located at the turbine fan 4.
[0028] This invention combines a turbine fan 4 with a uniquely designed heat-conducting component 5, allowing airflow to enter through the top air inlet 11, pass through the heat dissipation fins 8, and exit through the side air outlet 10. This prevents hot air from directly blowing onto adjacent graphics cards, effectively improving heat dissipation in multi-graphics card configurations and ensuring that each graphics card can operate in a relatively low-temperature and stable environment. Furthermore, this invention caters to practical installation needs by incorporating connectors 12 and wiring ports 13 at the bottom of the casing 2 for easy integration into servers, further enhancing its practicality and compatibility.
[0029] The side-blowing graphics card air cooler described in this embodiment has the same spacing between every two adjacent heat dissipation fins 8. Specifically, the equal spacing between every two adjacent heat dissipation fins 8 ensures that airflow can flow evenly between the fins, promoting rapid heat dissipation, reducing the possibility of local hot spots, and ensuring the stability and consistency of heat dissipation performance.
[0030] This embodiment describes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler. The top of the front and rear sides of the base plate 1 protrudes upwards to form connecting plates 14, and the bottom of the front and rear sides of the outer shell 2 extends downwards to form side plates 15. The connecting plates 14 have multiple first through holes 16, and the side plates 15 have multiple second through holes (not shown). The first through holes 16 and second through holes are connected one-to-one, and fasteners 17 pass through the first through holes 16 and second through holes. Specifically, the combined use of the connecting plates 14, side plates 15, and fasteners 17 enhances the connection strength between the base plate 1 and the outer shell 2, making the entire cooler structure more stable and reliable. It also facilitates disassembly and maintenance, improving product durability and user experience.
[0031] This embodiment describes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler. The side wall of the connector 12 is connected to the connecting plate 14, and the bottom of the connector 12 is connected to the base plate 1. The connector 12 has positioning holes 18. Specifically, the positioning holes 18 on the connector 12 are designed to allow the heatsink to be installed more precisely on the PCB board or other supporting structure, reducing installation errors, ensuring good contact between the heatsink and the graphics card, and improving heat dissipation efficiency and stability.
[0032] In this embodiment, a side-blowing graphics card air cooler is described, wherein the connecting plate 14 is provided with a groove 19. Specifically, the groove 19 can be used for positioning to facilitate assembly with external structures.
[0033] This embodiment describes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler. An arc-shaped baffle 20 is provided within the accommodating space 3, located at the end of the turbine fan 4 furthest from the heat-conducting component 5. Specifically, the arc-shaped baffle 20 within the accommodating space 3, located at the end of the turbine fan 4 furthest from the heat-conducting component 5, helps adjust the airflow direction, ensuring that more cooling air can effectively reach the area requiring heat dissipation, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0034] This embodiment describes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler, in which a plurality of thermal pads 21 are provided on the bottom of the base plate 1, all of which are located on the outer periphery of the contact portion 9. Specifically, the plurality of thermal pads 21 on the bottom of the base plate 1 not only increase the contact area between the base plate 1 and the graphics card chip, but also provide a better heat conduction path, accelerate the heat transfer process, and further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0035] This embodiment describes a side-blowing graphics card air cooler, in which the bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with multiple positioning posts 22. Specifically, the multiple positioning posts 22 on the bottom of the base plate 1 can assist the user in accurately positioning the heatsink during installation, ensuring that the contact part 9 is correctly aligned with the PCB board surface, achieving good thermal contact, and simplifying the installation steps.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
