[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0027] In the specific embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The phase change radiator 1 is arranged vertically, and the phase change radiator 1 is in the shape of 7. The inner wall surface of the vertical part of the phase change radiator 1 in the shape of 7 is provided with a frame 2. The frame 2 is hollow, forming an annular hollow cavity. The front end surface and the rear end surface of the frame 2 are both in an open state. The rear end surface of the frame 2 is in abutment with the inner wall surface of the phase change radiator 1, and the frame 2 is fixedly matched with the phase change radiator 1. The heat transfer is completed through the conversion of the working medium in the phase change radiator 1 between the gas-liquid two-phase states. The phase change radiator 1 contains an evaporation section, an adiabatic section and a condensation section. The evaporation section and the adiabatic section are located in the vertical part of the phase change radiator 1 in the shape of 7, and the condensation section is located in the horizontal part of the phase change radiator 1 in the shape of 7. When the phase change radiator 1 works, the liquid working medium of the evaporation section is heated by the heating device, absorbs latent heat and vaporizes into a gaseous state. The steam flows to the condensation section through the adiabatic section. The gaseous working medium exchanges heat with the external air in the condensation section, releases latent heat and condenses into a liquid. The liquid working medium accumulated in the condensation section returns to the evaporation section by the capillary force of the wick if the phase change radiator 1 has the wick, or returns to the evaporation section by gravity if the phase change radiator 1 only has microchannels. The working medium in the evaporation section absorbs heat and vaporizes again. The working medium transfers the heat from the evaporation section to the condensation section through the above-mentioned cycle, and the heat dissipation is completed.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2 , the inductor body 4 is arranged in the annular hollow cavity. The cavity between the inductor body 4 and the frame 2 is provided with a heat-conducting pouring glue, so that the inductor body 4 is fixedly arranged in the frame 2. The heat-conducting pouring glue conducts heat from the inductor body 4 to the frame 2, effectively reduces the heat accumulation in the equipment, and prolongs the service life of the inductor body 4.
[0029] The frame 2 is an aluminum alloy frame, which has good electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
[0030] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the outer wall surface of the phase change radiator 1 is provided with the heat dissipation fins 3. When there is no wick in the phase change radiator 1, the heat dissipation fins 3 are located on the outer wall surface of the 7-shaped horizontal part of the phase change radiator 1. At this time, the working medium can be returned by gravity, and the wick can be omitted, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the phase change radiator 1.
[0031] In a specific embodiment 2, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, when the phase change radiator 1 is provided with a wick, the heat dissipation fins 3 can be flexibly arranged at any position of the phase change radiator 1, which is beneficial to improve the flexibility of the device.
[0032] In a specific embodiment 3, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1 and 2 is that, in this embodiment, the frame 2 and the phase change radiator 1 are fixedly matched by welding or screw locking.
[0033] During operation, the inductor body 4 generates a large amount of heat, and the working medium in the phase change radiator 1 can be converted between gas-liquid two-phase states to realize heat transfer. The liquid working medium in the evaporation section is heated by the inductor body 4 to absorb latent heat and vaporize into a gaseous state. The steam flows to the condensation section through the adiabatic section. The gaseous working medium exchanges heat with the outside air in the condensation section to release latent heat and condense into a liquid. The liquid working medium accumulated in the condensation section returns to the evaporation section by the capillary force of the wick if the phase change radiator 1 has a wick. At this time, the heat dissipation fins 3 can be flexibly arranged at any position of the phase change radiator 1. If the phase change radiator 1 only has a microchannel, the fins need to be arranged on the outer wall surface of the 7-shaped horizontal part of the phase change radiator 1, and the working medium can return to the evaporation section by gravity. The working medium absorbs heat and evaporates again in the evaporation section. The working medium can transfer the heat on the inductor body 4 from the evaporation section to the condensation section through the above-mentioned cycle, thereby realizing heat dissipation of the inductor body 4.
