Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, traditional air-cooling solutions are no longer sufficient to meet the heat dissipation requirements of point light sources in high-power photography lights. Water-cooled radiators are usually installed in high-power photography lights to dissipate heat from heat-generating components.

[0003] Traditional air-cooling solutions typically involve an aluminum heatsink attached to the surface of the heat-generating component, with a fan forcing convection to remove heat. This approach offers flexibility in layout. Water-cooling, on the other hand, requires a water-cooling plate or block. The heat-generating component is attached to the plate or block, and liquid circulates inside the block to dissipate heat. For single, planar heat-generating components, the water-cooling block is relatively easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0004] However, if a PCB circuit board is present, the disassembly and assembly of the water cooling head becomes more complicated. The positional relationship between the water cooling head and the electronic components on the circuit board is also more complex, which makes the disassembly and maintenance of the circuit board more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 2This application provides a photographic lamp, which includes: a heat sink body 10, a circuit board 20, a light source board, a liquid cooling pipe 30, and a liquid cooling strip 40.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The radiator body 10 has a coolant tank containing coolant, which can be water or an aqueous solution. The radiator body 10 has an outlet 11 and an inlet 12, both of which are connected to the coolant tank. It is understood that the coolant can flow out of the coolant tank from the outlet 11 and flow into the coolant tank from the inlet 12.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The circuit board 20 is detachably connected to the heat sink body 10 and located at one end of the heat sink body 10. The circuit board 20 has a heat-generating component 21. The connection between the circuit board 20 and the heat sink body 10 can be achieved by screw connection, for example, by making threaded holes in the heat sink body 10 and making through holes in the circuit board 20 at the corresponding positions of the threaded holes, and then screwing the circuit board 20 onto the heat sink body 10. Alternatively, a snap-fit ​​structure can be used to detachably snap the circuit board 20 onto the heat sink body 10. It is understood that the heat-generating component 21 includes capacitors, resistors, transistors, and integrated circuit chips disposed on the circuit board 20, and the heat-generating component 21 generates heat during operation.

[0032] The light source board and circuit board 20 are electrically connected and have LED beads installed on them. The circuit board 20 is connected to a power source and supplies power to the light source board. It is also used to control and drive the LED beads to emit light. The LED beads can be LED beads.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The liquid cooling strip 40 has heat dissipation channels and is connected to and laid on the circuit board 20. The heat-generating components 21 are in contact with the liquid cooling strip 40. The heat generated by the circuit board 20 and the heat-generating components 21 during operation can be conducted to the liquid cooling strip 40 and dissipated through the liquid cooling strip 40.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 2 There are at least two liquid cooling pipes 30. One end of each liquid cooling pipe 30 is connected to the outlet 11 and the inlet 12, respectively. The other ends of each liquid cooling pipe 30 are detachably connected to both ends of the liquid cooling strip 40 and are connected to the heat dissipation channel. This allows the low-temperature coolant in the coolant tank to flow into one of the liquid cooling pipes 30 through the outlet 11. The coolant flows through the liquid cooling pipe 30 into the heat dissipation channel and absorbs the heat conducted to the liquid cooling strip 40. After absorbing heat, the coolant heats up. The high-temperature coolant flows through the other liquid cooling pipe 30 to the inlet 12 and then flows into the coolant tank through the inlet 12. The radiator body 10 dissipates the heat of the high-temperature coolant and forms a low-temperature coolant, thus circulating the coolant.

[0035] The photographic lamp provided in this application embodiment connects one end of two liquid cooling pipes 30 to the outlet 11 and the inlet 12 respectively, and then detaches the other end of the liquid cooling pipes 30 to both ends of the liquid cooling strip 40. The circuit board 20 is also detachably connected to the heat sink body 10. This not only dissipates heat from and cools the circuit board, but also allows for quick disconnection of the two liquid cooling pipes 30 connected to the liquid cooling strip 40 and removal of the circuit board 20 from the heat sink body 10 when maintenance of the circuit board 20 is required, thereby improving the convenience of maintaining the circuit board 20.

[0036] Optionally, the circuit board 20 can be a PCB board.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 2 Optionally, the liquid cooling strip 40 can also be detachably fixed to the circuit board 20 by screws. Multiple heat-generating components 21 are arranged at intervals on the circuit board 20, with the liquid cooling strip 40 arranged in the middle of each heat-generating component 21. Alternatively, some heat-generating components 21 can be directly arranged on the liquid cooling strip 40.

[0038] Optionally, the liquid cooling strip 40 can be made of metal, such as copper, aluminum, or aluminum alloy. In this embodiment, the liquid cooling strip 40 is made of aluminum alloy. In other embodiments, the material can be selected according to the actual situation, and no limitation is made here.

[0039] The aluminum alloy liquid cooling bar 40 has the following characteristics:

[0040] Aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity, which can effectively and quickly conduct the heat generated inside the photographic lamp to the surface of the liquid cooling strip 40, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. When the LED chips are outputting high power, they easily generate a large amount of heat. The aluminum alloy liquid cooling strip 40 can quickly remove this heat through the coolant, maintaining stable operation of the equipment.

[0041] Aluminum alloy has a low density and is lightweight. While maintaining heat dissipation performance, it can reduce the overall weight of the photography light, making it easier to carry.

[0042] Aluminum alloys have strong corrosion resistance, and a dense oxide film can be formed on the surface to prevent corrosive substances such as moisture and salt in the air from damaging the equipment. Therefore, during use, the liquid cooling bar 40 can resist the corrosion of the coolant and improve its service life.

[0043] Aluminum alloys also have good machinability, allowing them to be customized into suitable shapes according to specific heat dissipation requirements.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 2In some embodiments, the number of heat-generating components 21 is multiple, and the liquid cooling strip 40 includes a main body 45 extending along a first direction and having a heat dissipation channel, with multiple heat-generating components 21 distributed along the first direction on the main body 45.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 2 Optionally, two liquid cooling pipes 30 are detachably connected to both ends of the main stem 45. Coolant flows into the main stem 45 from one of the liquid cooling pipes 30 and absorbs heat, then flows from the main stem 45 into the other liquid cooling pipe 30, and finally into the coolant tank. Multiple heat-generating components 21 are spaced apart on the main stem 45, which can quickly conduct heat to the main stem 45 and evenly distribute heat to the main stem 45, avoiding local overheating.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the liquid cooling strip 40 further includes one or more branches 41 extending along the second direction, the main body 45 is connected to the branch 41, and a heating element 21 is arranged on the branch 41, with the first direction perpendicular to the second direction.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 2 Optionally, by adding one or more branches 41 to the main stem 45, the heat absorption and heat dissipation range of the liquid cooling strip 40 can be increased. Multiple branches 41 can make the liquid cooling strip 40 form different shapes, so that the liquid cooling strip 40 can meet different heat dissipation requirements and improve the flexibility of heat dissipation.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, multiple branches 41 are provided, with branches 41 arranged on both sides of the main stem 45 along the direction parallel to the circuit board 20. By extending the branches 41 to different positions on the circuit board 20, the heat generated by the heat-generating components 21 and the circuit board 20 can be quickly absorbed, thereby improving the heat dissipation coverage and heat dissipation capacity.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the heat-generating component 21 includes a MOSFET, which is an insulated-gate field-effect transistor with a higher input impedance than a junction field-effect transistor. It is also simpler to manufacture, more flexible and convenient to use, and conducive to high integration.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, quick-release male connectors 42 are provided at both ends of the liquid cooling strip 40, and quick-release female connectors are provided on both liquid cooling pipes 30. The two quick-release male connectors 42 are respectively inserted into the two quick-release female connectors.

[0051] Optionally, the quick-release male connector 42 and quick-release female connector improve the ease of disassembling or assembling the liquid cooling pipe 30 and the liquid cooling strip 40. When the circuit board 20 needs maintenance or replacement, the quick-release male connector 42 and quick-release female connector can be quickly separated, and then the quick-release male connector 42 and quick-release female connector can be quickly plugged in without complicated tools, thus improving ease of use.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 2 It is also understandable that the quick-release female connector could be placed on the liquid cooling strip 40, while the quick-release male connector 42 could be placed on the liquid cooling tube 30. There are no restrictions here, and the choice can be made according to the actual situation. Both the quick-release male connector 42 and the quick-release female connector are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, any quick-release male connector 42 is provided with an automatic sealing valve 44.

[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, an automatic sealing valve 44 is provided inside any quick-release female connector.

[0055] It is understandable that by installing automatic sealing valves 44 in both the quick-release male connector 42 and the quick-release female connector, when the quick-release male connector 42 and the quick-release female connector are separated, the two automatic sealing valves 44 can seal the quick-release male connector 42 and the quick-release female connector respectively, preventing the coolant in the liquid cooling pipe 30 and the liquid cooling bar 40 from leaking, and also preventing air from entering the liquid cooling pipe 30 and the liquid cooling bar 40, so that the disassembly of the circuit board 20 and the heat sink body 10 can continue.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the liquid cooling pipe 30 includes a first pipe segment 31 and a second pipe segment 32 connecting the first pipe segment 31. The first pipe segment 31 is connected to the radiator body 10, and the second pipe segment 32 is connected to the liquid cooling bar 40. A quick-release male connector 42 is located in the second pipe segment 32. The length directions of the first pipe segment 31 and the second pipe segment 32 are staggered.

[0057] Optionally, the first pipe segment 31 is arranged along a first direction, and the second pipe segment 32 is arranged along a second direction. By arranging the first pipe segment 31 and the second pipe segment 32 in different directions, the flexibility of the liquid cooling pipe 30 arrangement and the stability of the structure can be improved. Moreover, the arrangement of the first pipe segment 31 and the second pipe segment 32 in different directions can also improve the convenience of disassembling the second pipe segment 32.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the circuit board 20 has a rear panel facing the heat sink body 10 and a front panel facing away from the heat sink body 10, with the second pipe segment 32 located on the front panel.

[0059] Optionally, placing the second pipe segment 32 on the front panel of the circuit board 20 optimizes the layout of the liquid cooling pipe 30, improving the compactness and rationality of the structure. This ensures that the distance between the liquid cooling pipe 30 and the circuit board 20 is appropriate, improving heat dissipation and avoiding unnecessary space occupation.

[0060] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the first pipe section 31 is a flexible tube and the second pipe section 32 is a rigid tube.

[0061] Optionally, the first pipe section 31 can be made of rubber, and the second pipe section 32 can be made of stainless steel. The first pipe section 31 has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, and can be bent and repositioned when separating the second pipe section 32 from the main body 45, thereby providing disassembly space for the second pipe section 32 and improving the ease of disassembly of the second pipe section 32.

[0062] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the photographic light also includes a fastener 43, which is used to secure the connection between the first pipe segment 31 and the second pipe segment 32. For example, a fastener 43 is provided at the connection between the first pipe segment 31 and the radiator body 10 to secure the connection between the first pipe segment 31 and the radiator body 10. A fastener 43 is also provided at the connection between the second pipe segment 32 and the quick-release male connector to secure the connection between the second pipe segment 32 and the quick-release male connector.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fastener 43 is a hose clamp made of stainless steel. The fastener 43 allows the liquid cooling pipe 30 to be easily and quickly connected to the radiator body 10, and also allows for faster disassembly and replacement of the liquid cooling pipe 30 during maintenance, reducing maintenance costs and operational difficulty.

[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The disassembly process of circuit board 20 will now be described, based on the structural features described above:

[0065] First, disconnect the quick-release male connector 42 on one of the liquid cooling pipes 30, and then disconnect the quick-release male connector 42 on the other liquid cooling pipe 30. At the moment of disconnection, the automatic sealing valve 44 inside the quick-release male connector 42 and the quick-release female connector is activated to prevent leakage.

[0066] Next, move one of the second pipe sections 32 outwards by a certain distance, while bending and deforming the corresponding first pipe section 31 until the second pipe section 32 no longer blocks the circuit board 20. The other second pipe section 32 is operated in the same way.

[0067] Next, loosen all the screws on the circuit board 20, and then separate the circuit board 20 and the water block together from the heat sink body 10.

[0068] Finally, loosen the screws connecting the liquid cooling strip 40 and the circuit board 20. After the liquid cooling strip 40 and the circuit board 20 are separated again, the circuit board 20 can be performed for after-sales maintenance.

[0069] After the repair is completed, the circuit board 20, liquid cooling strip 40 and liquid cooling pipe 30 can be reinstalled in reverse order back into the heat sink body 10, which will not be described in detail here.

[0070] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
