[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a PCH chip heat dissipation structure for an all-in-one computer includes a motherboard 1 and a shielding plate 2. The motherboard 1 is equipped with a CPU 11 and a PCH chip 12. The shielding plate 2 is equipped with vertical fins 21 and a heat dissipation section 22. A cooling fan 3 is provided on the vertical fins 21. The shielding plate 2 is covered onto the motherboard 1 so that the vertical fins 21 are aligned with the CPU 11 and the heat dissipation section 22 is aligned with the PCH chip 12. The first end of the heat dissipation section 22 is provided with a ramp 221 facing the vertical fins 21. The heat dissipation section 22 is provided with through slots along the vertical array facing away from the ramp 221 to form a plurality of horizontal fin sections 222.

[0026] Specifically, such asFigure 3 As shown, the end of the heat sink 22 facing the vertical fins 21 is the first end. When the shielding plate 2 is covered on the motherboard 1, the cooling fan 3 can be activated to drive the cold airflow into the space between the vertical fins 21 to dissipate heat from the CPU 11. The ramp 221 is provided at the first end of the heat sink 22 to receive the high-temperature airflow flowing out from the vertical fins 21 and lift the high-temperature airflow along the surface of the ramp 221 away from the heat sink 22. The other end of the heat sink 22 is provided with a through groove to form a number of horizontal fins 222. The horizontal fins 222 are used to conduct heat to the PCH chip 12 in contact. The presence of the ramp 221 avoids the problem of high-temperature damage to the PCH chip 12 caused by the continuous heating of the horizontal fins 222 by the high-temperature airflow, thus improving the protection of the PCH chip 12.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the slope portion 221 is used to receive the high-temperature airflow from the vertical fin 21 and raise the high-temperature airflow along the surface of the slope portion 221 to a distance away from the heat dissipation portion 22, thereby avoiding the problem of high-temperature damage to the PCH chip 12 caused by the continuous heating of the horizontal fin portion 222 by the high-temperature airflow and improving the protection of the PCH chip 12.

[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model, heat-conducting components 4 are respectively provided on the shielding plate 2, and the shielding plate 2 is covered on the motherboard 1 so that the heat-conducting components 4 respectively contact the CPU 11 and the PCH chip 12.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the shielding plate 2 is placed on the motherboard 1, the heat-conducting component 4 directly contacts the CPU 11 and PCH chip 12 to improve the heat conduction efficiency between the shielding plate 2 and the CPU 11 and PCH chip 12, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the CPU 11 and PCH chip 12 and preventing the CPU 11 and PCH chip 12 from being damaged due to overheating.

[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, heat pipes 5 are arranged in a linear array within the heat dissipation section 22, and the heat pipes 5 sequentially contact a plurality of horizontal fin sections 222 and heat-conducting elements 4.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation section 22 is equipped with several heat pipes 5, which simultaneously contact several horizontal fin sections 222 and the heat-conducting element 4. This utilizes the heat pipes 5 to further improve the heat conduction efficiency between the PCH chip 12 and the horizontal fin sections 222, preventing overheating damage to the PCH chip 12. Furthermore, the heat pipes 5 penetrate the horizontal fin sections 222 to enhance their support, thus preventing deformation of the horizontal fin sections 222 that could lead to a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, the slope portion 221 is provided with a linear array of air guide grooves 2211, with the two ends of the air guide grooves 2211 located at the high and low ends of the slope portion 221, respectively.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, an air guide groove 2211 is provided on the slope portion 221. One end of the air guide groove 2211 is located at the lower end of the slope portion 221 and faces the vertical fin 21. The other end of the air guide groove 2211 is located at the higher end of the slope portion 221 and faces away from the vertical fin 21. When the high-temperature airflow blown out of the vertical fin 21 blows onto the slope portion 221, the high-temperature airflow will be squeezed into the air guide groove 2211 to increase the flow rate. This causes the high-temperature airflow to rise along the surface of the slope portion 221 to a region away from the horizontal fin portion 222, further reducing the heating problem of the high-temperature airflow on the horizontal fin portion 222 and the PCH chip 12.

[0034] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the second end of the shielding plate 2 is symmetrically provided with reinforcing column portions 23 connected to a plurality of horizontal fin portions 222.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the shielding plate 2 facing away from the vertical fins 21 is the second end. The reinforcing column 23 provided on the second end of the shielding plate 2 is connected to several horizontal fins 222, thereby further improving the deformation resistance of the horizontal fins 222 and avoiding the decrease in heat dissipation capacity due to the deformation of the horizontal fins 222.

[0036] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, the reinforcing column 23 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 231 arranged in a linear array, and the annular grooves 231 are aligned with the through grooves between the plurality of horizontal fin portions 222.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, several annular grooves 231 are provided on the reinforcing column 23, and the annular grooves 231 are aligned with the through grooves between several horizontal fin portions 222, as shown. Figure 4As shown, when the high-temperature airflow blown from the vertical fins 21 blows onto the ramp 221, the high-temperature airflow is squeezed into the air guide groove 2211 to increase the flow velocity. This causes the high-temperature airflow to rise along the surface of the ramp 221 to a region away from the horizontal fins 222. At the same time, while the high-temperature air flows towards the horizontal fins 222, due to the velocity difference, the cold air on both sides of the horizontal fins 222 flows into the through-groove between the horizontal fins 222. The cold air flowing into the space between the horizontal fins 222 carries away the heat from the horizontal fins 222 and continues to flow away from the vertical fins 21. This results in a symmetrical gas circulation formed on the heat dissipation section 22 with the reinforcing pillar 23 as the vortex center. This gas circulation can further dissipate heat from the horizontal fins 222, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the PCH chip 12. Furthermore, the annular groove 231 on the reinforcing pillar 23 can increase the flow velocity of the symmetrical gas circulation formed with the reinforcing pillar 23 as the vortex center.

[0038] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the shielding plate 2 is made of aluminum.

[0039] Specifically, shielding plate 2 is made of aluminum to improve its service life and thermal conductivity.

[0040] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the thermal conductive element 4 is a high thermal conductivity silicone grease sheet.

[0041] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the heat pipe 5 is made of copper.

[0042] Specifically, heat pipe 5 is made of copper to further improve its thermal conductivity.

[0043] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the shielding plate 2 is provided with a conductive coating.

[0044] Specifically, a conductive coating is provided on the shielding plate 2 to increase the shielding effect of the shielding plate 2.

[0045] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
