Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat dissipation technology for communication equipment, and in particular relates to a controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device and an on-board domain controller device. Background Technology

[0002] As market demands become increasingly diverse, the functions that in-vehicle central control systems need to integrate are also increasing. This leads to greater heat generation during chip operation. Existing methods of heat dissipation—such as increasing the size of the casting, raising the fin height, and using fans to draw air from the internal structure and disrupt airflow—are no longer sufficient to meet product requirements. Therefore, accelerating the removal of heat from the chip and dissipating it as quickly as possible has become a pressing issue. Utility Model Content

Inside the rectangular shell, a main board, a cooling unit, and a sub-board are installed sequentially from top to bottom. The cooling unit is used to cool and dissipate heat from the main board and the sub-board. The cooling unit includes a liquid cooling water channel module, and the liquid cooling water channel module has water channels inside that can control water pressure loss and water flow rate.

[0006] Furthermore, the cooling unit also includes a support plate, a hot and cold liquid semiconductor, and a cooling plate. The two ends of the support plate are fixedly connected to the lower shell. A cooling water channel module is installed on one side of the support plate, and a cooling plate is installed on the other side. A liquid-cooled semiconductor is fixedly installed on the side of the cooling plate closest to the support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the liquid cooling water channel module has a cavity structure with several baffles inside, forming several interconnected water channels, the two ends of which are connected to a drain pipe and an inlet pipe, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the sub-board is fixedly connected to the lower shell, and the space between the chip on the sub-board and the lower shell is filled with thermal grease.

[0009] Furthermore, the gap between the motherboard chip and the liquid cooling channel module is filled with thermal grease.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate is rectangular.

[0011] Furthermore, the support plate has a rectangular frame structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a heat dissipation hole is provided on one side of the upper shell.

[0014] (1) The controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device of this utility model has a cooling unit that effectively solves the problem of the chip needing a large amount of heat dissipation and rapid cooling, so that the chip can be used in the high frequency band.

[0015] (2) The controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device described in this utility model can also achieve the purpose of heat dissipation by increasing the flow rate of the water channel in the cooling water channel module as the chip is upgraded and functional modules are added, making it more practical.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] A controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes an upper shell 1, a main board 2, a cooling water channel module 3, a support plate 4, a hot and cold liquid semiconductor 5, a cooling plate 6, a sub-plate 7, a lower shell 8, and a rear shell 9. The upper shell 1, lower shell 8, and rear shell 9 are connected to form a rectangular shell structure. Inside the rectangular shell, from top to bottom, the main board 2, the cooling unit, and the sub-plate 7 are installed sequentially. The cooling unit is used to cool and dissipate heat from the main board 2 and the sub-plate 7. The cooling unit includes a liquid cooling water channel module 3, which has water channels 33 inside that can control water pressure loss and water flow rate.

[0030] The cooling unit also includes a support plate 4, a liquid-cooled semiconductor 5, and a cooling plate 6. The two ends of the support plate 4 are fixedly connected to the lower shell 8. A cooling water channel module 3 is installed on one side of the support plate 4, and a cooling plate 6 is installed on the other side. The liquid-cooled semiconductor 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the cooling plate 6 closest to the support plate 4. This structure allows the cooling plate 6 to concentrate heat, which is then dissipated through the liquid-cooled semiconductor 5.

[0031] The power of the hot and cold liquid semiconductor 5 can be selected or modified according to the heat dissipation of the main board 2 and the sub-board 7.

[0032] The upper shell 1 also has heat dissipation holes on one side.

[0033] The sub-board 7 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 8, and the space between the chip on the sub-board 7 and the lower shell 8 is filled with thermal grease.

[0034] The gap between the chip on the motherboard 2 and the liquid cooling channel module 3 is filled with thermal grease.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, the support plate 4 is rectangular. In one or more embodiments, when the heat dissipation of the chip is relatively large, the support plate 4 is a rectangular frame structure used to cooperate with the water channel heat dissipation of the liquid cooling module.

[0036] The liquid cooling water channel module 3 has a cavity structure with several baffles 34 inside. The baffles 34 form several interconnected water channels 33. The two ends of the water channels 33 are connected to the drain pipe 31 and the inlet pipe 32, respectively. The water channels 33 are used to change the speed and pressure loss of the water flow, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the water pressure loss and water flow speed. After the water flow enters the water channel 33 from the inlet pipe 32, it will be evenly dispersed by the baffles 34, so the water flow speed and direction can be controlled. Then, the baffles 34 will also guide the water flow from the inlet pipe 32 to the drain pipe 31, effectively avoiding the generation of eddies in the water flow that would cause excessive water pressure loss, thereby helping the main board 2 and the sub-board 7 to dissipate heat fully.

[0037] An in-vehicle domain controller device is an in-vehicle domain controller device that uses a controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device.

[0038] The working principle of a controllable liquid cooling heat dissipation device is as follows:

[0039] Sub-board 7 is fixed to lower shell 8. The gap between the chip on sub-board 7 and lower shell 8 is filled with thermal grease and fixed with bolts. Hot and cold semiconductor 5 is fixed to cooling plate 6. Liquid cooling channel module 3 is fixed to support plate 4 with bolts and tape. The gap between them is filled with thermal grease. Cooling plate 6 is fixed to support plate 4 with bolts or welding. The whole assembly is fixed to lower shell 8 with bolts. Mainboard 2 is fixed to lower shell 8 with bolts. The gap between the chip on mainboard 2 and liquid cooling channel module 3 is filled with thermal grease. Upper shell 1 is assembled with lower shell 8 and fixed with bolts. Through liquid cooling channel module 3, hot and cold semiconductor 5 and cooling plate 6, heat dissipation of mainboard 2 and sub-board 7 is accelerated, enabling it to operate at high performance and maintain junction temperature within the specified range.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
