Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of radiators, and in particular to the technical field of a radiator with a top-mounted centrifugal fan. Background Technology
[0002] In the grid-type energy storage converter industry, forced air cooling of IGBT modules using heat sinks is the most common heat dissipation method. Current heat sink designs generally employ a uniformly distributed fin design on the same heat sink, meaning the fins of the entire heat sink have equal tooth thickness and spacing. This design results in lower temperature rise of the IGBT modules on the air intake side and higher temperature rise of the IGBT modules on the air exhaust side. Existing air-cooled power module heat sinks cause uneven heat dissipation of IGBT modules, leading to inconsistent IGBT module lifespans and affecting the lifespan of the power module. Therefore, designing a heat sink with a top-mounted centrifugal fan to solve the defect of uneven heat dissipation of IGBT modules is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a top-mounted centrifugal fan radiator, comprising a radiator body, lower heat dissipation fins, upper heat dissipation fins, an air guide groove, and a centrifugal fan. The lower part of the radiator body is sparsely provided with a number of lower heat dissipation fins, the upper part of the radiator body is densely provided with a number of upper heat dissipation fins, the top of the radiator body is connected to an air guide groove, and the top of the air guide groove is connected to a centrifugal fan.
[0005] Preferably, the lower heat dissipation fins are arranged vertically, and the upper and lower heat dissipation fins are arranged parallel to each other.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom opening of the air guide groove is provided to cover the upper part of the upper heat dissipation fins.
[0007] Preferably, the centrifugal fan is a continuously variable speed fan, and a temperature sensor is embedded in the upper heat dissipation fins, and the temperature sensor is connected to the centrifugal fan.
[0008] Preferably, the centrifugal fan is an exhaust fan, with air intake at the bottom and air outlet at the side.
[0009] Preferably, a power cord is provided on the top of the centrifugal fan.
[0010] Preferably, both the lower and upper heat dissipation fins are copper-plated aluminum fins.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By combining the heat sink body, lower heat sink fins, upper heat sink fins, air guide grooves and centrifugal fan, and through experimental optimization, this utility model can achieve uniform and rapid heat dissipation of IGBT modules through the design of heat sink fins with sparse lower fins and dense upper fins, combined with a centrifugal fan with air guide grooves on the top, thereby improving the reliability of the power module.
