[0014] The technical scheme 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, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.
[0015] Referring to Figure 1 A heat plate embedded light module shell structure, including shell 5, the second tin paste 4 is equipped on the upper end of shell 5, the heat plate 3 is equipped on the upper end of second tin paste 4, the first tin paste 2 is equipped on the upper end of heat plate 3, and the buckle type fin 1 is equipped on the upper end of first tin paste 2.
[0016] Referring to Figure 1The heat spreader 3 is soldered to the housing 5 via the second solder paste 4, and the snap-on fins 1 are soldered to the heat spreader 3 and the housing 5 via the first solder paste 2. By designing heat sinks of different thicknesses in the housing 5, the heat spreader 3 can be embedded. The snap-on fins 1 are made by aluminum alloy stamping and welding. The heat spreader 3 is a flat heat spreader with good thermal conductivity. The welding of the heat spreader 3 and the snap-on fins 1 meets the needs of different heat sink heights. Through the embedded structure of the heat spreader 3, the snap-on fins 1 and the housing 5 are homogenized, effectively reducing the temperature of the core components of the optical module. Since the high-power chip and the snap-on fins 1 have relatively similar high-temperature points, the snap-on fins 1 and the heat sink can be cooled synchronously. Since it is necessary to adapt to components of different heights within the module, heat dissipation can be achieved by combining snap-fit fins 1, a heat spreader 3, and a housing 5 with different heat sink thicknesses. The housing 5 can be made of zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, or copper alloy. By utilizing the snap-fit fins 1, the fins, heat spreader 3, and housing 5 can be integrally welded, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the housing 5 while satisfying the appearance of the optical module. The resulting embedded structure of the heat spreader 3 and snap-fit fins 1 simplifies the structure of the housing 5 with the heat spreader 3. By flattening the heat spreader 3, the heat dissipation performance of the housing 5 is improved, and the snap-fit fins 1 and housing 5 are synchronously heated. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the optical module housing while ensuring module performance.
[0017] Working Principle: The heat spreader 3, embedded in the optical module housing structure, is soldered to the housing 5 via a second solder paste 4. The snap-on fins 1 are soldered to both the heat spreader 3 and the housing 5 via a first solder paste 2. By designing heat sinks of varying thicknesses within the housing 5, the heat spreader 3 can be embedded. The snap-on fins 1 are formed by stamping and welding aluminum or copper alloy. The heat spreader 3 is a flat plate with good thermal conductivity. The welding of the heat spreader 3 and the snap-on fins 1 meets the requirements for different heat sink heights. The embedded structure of the heat spreader 3 homogenizes the temperature of the snap-on fins 1 and the housing 5, effectively reducing the temperature of the core components of the optical module. Since the high-power chip and the snap-on fins 1 have relatively similar high-temperature points, the temperature of the snap-on fins can be reduced. The fins 1 and heat sink provide synchronous heat dissipation. Since the heights of different components within the module need to be adapted, heat dissipation can be achieved by combining snap-fit fins 1, a heat spreader 3, and a housing 5 with different heat sink thicknesses. The housing 5 can be made of zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, or copper alloy. By utilizing snap-fit fins 1, the fins, heat spreader 3, and housing 5 can be integrally welded, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the housing 5 while satisfying the appearance of the optical module. The resulting embedded structure of the heat spreader 3 and snap-fit fins 1 simplifies the structure of the housing 5 with the heat spreader 3. By flattening the heat spreader 3, the heat dissipation performance of the housing 5 is improved, achieving synchronous temperature equalization of the snap-fit fins 1 and the housing 5. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the optical module housing while ensuring module performance.
