Description

Technical Field

[0001] This solution relates to the field of heat dissipation equipment technology, and in particular to a plate-type heat sink. Background Technology

[0002] In today's highly competitive and diversified market for heat dissipation equipment, panel radiators have been widely used in numerous fields such as electronic equipment, industrial machinery, and HVAC due to their efficient heat dissipation performance and relatively compact structural design. However, traditional panel radiators have revealed a series of problems during installation and integration. The installation process is complex, typically requiring specialized tools such as torque wrenches and screwdrivers, and demanding operation by experienced professionals. This not only consumes a significant amount of time, extending the installation cycle and increasing labor costs, but also easily leads to damage to radiator components due to improper operation, such as poor force control or incorrect operation sequence, resulting in issues like scratched side panels or deformation of the main frame. Taking the connection between the side panel and the radiator body as an example, traditional connection methods often use bolts and nuts, requiring multiple steps such as positioning, drilling, screwing in the bolts, and tightening the nuts, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, this connection method has certain requirements for installation space; if the installation space is narrow, the difficulty of operation will increase significantly, and installation may even be impossible. In terms of integration, significant differences exist between components manufactured by different companies in terms of size, interface standards, and heat dissipation performance, resulting in poor compatibility between components and greatly increasing the overall integration difficulty. In modern equipment applications that demand efficient heat dissipation and easy assembly and integration, these drawbacks of traditional plate-type heat sinks become increasingly prominent, making it difficult to meet actual needs.

[0003] Therefore, a plate-type heat sink is needed that can simplify the installation process and facilitate integration. Utility Model Content

[0004] This solution addresses the aforementioned issues by providing a plate-type heat sink.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this solution is: a plate-type heat sink, comprising a heat sink body, a first sensor and a fan respectively limited by a first connector at the bottom and top of the heat sink body, a power supply box disposed on the side, and a baffle connected to the outer side.

[0006] The baffle includes a top plate and two side plates on both sides. The second connector is hung on the side plates and hooks the water pipe at the bottom of the radiator body.

[0007] Furthermore, connecting grooves are provided on both sides of the top plate, and the first connecting end at the top of the side plate is inserted into the connecting groove;

[0008] The side panel includes a hook, and the second connector is a double-hook L-shaped structure that hangs on the hook and hooks onto the water pipe at the bottom of the radiator.

[0009] Furthermore, the side plate includes a nameplate limiting hole through which the nameplate passes and is limited by the hook portion to the second connecting member.

[0010] Furthermore, the nameplate connecting surface has an extension plate and a limiting protrusion. The extension plate supports the hook, and the limiting protrusion and the hook form a limiting hole to restrict the second connecting member.

[0011] Furthermore, a valve hole is provided at the upper part of the side plate, a water outlet pipe through hole is provided at the lower part, and a button mounting end is provided near the top in the middle.

[0012] Furthermore, the button mounting end has an oblong structure with rectangular slots on both sides;

[0013] The button corresponding to the button mounting end is also an oblong structure with a buckle on the side.

[0014] Furthermore, the first connector is hollow, with convex first connecting parts at both ends of the fixing surface, cylindrical second connecting parts at the four corners of the component connecting surface, and a first limiting end and a hook-shaped second limiting end in the middle, the bottom surface of which is an extension.

[0015] Furthermore, the first connector is positioned at the top of the radiator body, and the second sensor is positioned and connected in series with the fan;

[0016] The first connector limits the first sensor at the bottom of the heat sink body, and the fan and sensor lines converge at the power supply box.

[0017] Furthermore, the radiator body is integrally molded, with a flat heat dissipation channel inside, inlet and outlet ports at both ends, wavy heat dissipation fins on the front and back, limiting grooves formed between the side fins, and symmetrical mounting holes at the bottom of the fins for rigid connection to the power supply box.

[0018] Furthermore, the power supply box has positioning holes on both sides, which are rigidly connected to the mounting holes by pins or screws. A limit buckle is provided at the center line, which limits the third sensor and its edge is inserted into the limit groove.

[0019] In summary, this solution has the following advantages:

[0020] The plate-type heat sink provided in this solution simplifies the installation process and facilitates integration.

[0021] The first connector provided in this solution not only securely connects the heat sink to components such as fans and sensors, but also prevents sensors from getting stuck in the heat sink fins and prevents the wires from being caught in the fan, thus improving the stability and safety of the entire system. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for nuts; the position of each component can be fixed simply by pressing, making it easy to install and remove.

[0022] The power supply box provided in this solution has a limiting buckle that can not only fix the third sensor and prevent it from shaking or shifting, but also use its edge to lock into the limiting groove of the heat sink fins to enhance connection stability. It also plays a role in precise positioning during installation, making it convenient for users to complete the installation quickly and accurately.

[0023] The baffle provided in this solution has its top plate fixed to the top of the radiator body via side plates. Connecting grooves on both sides of the top plate engage with symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​fasteners on the top of the side plates to form a top restraint. The second connecting end at the center of the bottom of the side plate is hooked onto the hook portion via a double-hook L-shaped second connector, securing it to the bottom water pipe of the radiator body. This connection method ensures the baffle is securely installed, protects the radiator body, and is simple to install. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The present solution will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] A plate-type heat sink includes a heat sink body 100, as shown in the figure. The top of the heat sink body 100 limits the fan 3, the bottom limits the first sensor 2, the side limits the power supply box 4, and the outer side of the heat sink body 100 is connected to a baffle 5.

[0044] The radiator body 100 is manufactured using an integrated molding process, resulting in excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. Multiple parallel heat dissipation channels are located inside the body, with flat cross-sections to increase the contact area between the coolant and the radiator's inner wall, thus improving heat exchange efficiency. The two ends of the heat dissipation channels are connected to an inlet and an outlet, respectively, ensuring the coolant can circulate within the radiator. The front and back of the radiator body 100 are covered with densely packed heat dissipation fins 101, which are wavy, further increasing the heat dissipation area and enhancing the cooling effect. The heat dissipation fins 101 are symmetrically arranged, with the gap in the middle of the fins closest to the side of the radiator forming a limiting groove 102. Two mounting holes, symmetrically aligned with the limiting groove 102, are located near the lower part of the heat dissipation fins for connection to other components.

[0045] The top and bottom heat dissipation fins 101 of the radiator body 100 are respectively connected to a limiting sensor via a first connector 1 and / or a fan 3. The first connector 1 is recessed at both ends and hollow in the middle, with the front and back being the radiator fixing surface and the component connection surface, respectively.

[0046] On the radiator mounting surface, first connecting parts 11 for connecting radiator brackets are provided at the left and right ends. The first connecting parts 11 are protrusions that correspond to the wavy heat dissipation fins 101 on the top of the radiator body 100. During assembly, the first connecting parts 11 are engaged in the gaps of the radiator body.

[0047] On the component connection surface, four corners are respectively provided with second connecting parts 12 for connecting fans 3. The second connecting parts 12 are cylindrical male mounting heads, corresponding to the female mounting heads on the four corners of the fans 3. During assembly, the female mounting head on one side of the fans 3 can be confined within the second connecting parts 12. One first connecting piece 1 can fix two fans 3. A limiting structure is also provided in the middle of the first connecting piece 1. The limiting structure includes a first limiting end 13 and a second limiting end 14. The bottom surface of the first limiting end 13 is an extension 131. After the extension 131 and the first limiting end 13 are combined, they limit the sensor. The two sides extend and connect to the second limiting ends 14 on both sides. The first limiting end 13 faces the component connection surface.

[0048] The length of the extension 131 is sufficient to limit the connector to the heat sink 101. This structure prevents the sensor from getting stuck between the heat sink 101 due to pressing. The second limiting end 14 is a hook, which is located in the middle of the side of the fan 3 after assembly with the fan 3. It is used to organize the wiring of the fan 3 and the sensor, and to prevent the fan blades of the fan 3 from getting the wiring into the fan 3 during rotation.

[0049] During the operation of fan 3, the temperature of fan 3 can be detected. In this embodiment, the sensor is a temperature sensor.

[0050] Specifically, a second sensor 31 is positioned on the top heat dissipation fins 101 of the radiator body 100 via a first connector 1 and connected in series with a fan 3. A first sensor 2 is positioned on the bottom heat dissipation fins 101 of the radiator body 100 via a first connector 1. The wiring of the fan 3, the first sensor 2, and the second sensor 31 is converged and stored in the power supply box 4.

[0051] The power supply box 4 has positioning holes 41 on both sides, which are rigidly connected to the mounting holes on the heat sink fins via pins or screws. This connection method is stable and reliable, ensuring the relative position between the power supply box 4 and the heat sink is fixed, and also facilitating the installation and removal of the power supply box 4. Several limiting buckles 42 are set on the center line of the power supply box 4, and the third sensor 43 can protrude from the power supply box 4 and be locked in the limiting buckles 42. The limiting buckles 42 not only fix the third sensor 43 to prevent it from shaking or shifting, but also use their edges to lock into the limiting grooves 102 of the heat sink fins, further enhancing the connection stability between the power supply box 4 and the heat sink. At the same time, they play a role in precise positioning during installation, allowing users to quickly and accurately complete the installation of the power supply box 4 and the sensor.

[0052] The top of the radiator body 100 is covered by a baffle 5, which is a top plate 51. The baffle 5 also includes side plates 52 on both sides of the top plate 51. The top plate 51 includes a plurality of heat dissipation holes 512 and is fixed above the radiator body 100 by being limited by the side plates 52 on both sides.

[0053] Specifically, two connecting grooves 511 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the top plate 51, and the first connecting end 521 on the top of the side plate 52 is limited within the connecting groove 511. The first connecting end 521 is a symmetrically arranged buckle that engages with the connecting groove 511 to form a top limit.

[0054] The side plate 52 is provided with a second connecting end 522 at the lower center, including a hook part 5221 and a second connecting member 53. The second connecting member 53 is a double-hook L-shaped connecting frame, with the top hanging on the hook part 5221. The double hooks hook the water pipe at the bottom of the radiator body and the bottom is fixed by the hook.

[0055] The side plate 52 also includes a nameplate limiting hole 523. When the second connector 53 is hooked onto the hook 5221, the nameplate 54 passes through the nameplate limiting hole 523. Through the front and rear limiting of the hook 5221, the second connector 53 hooked onto the hook 5221 can be fixed. The connecting surface of the nameplate 54 includes a limiting extension plate 541 and symmetrically arranged limiting protrusions 542.

[0056] Specifically, when the nameplate 54 is installed in the nameplate limiting hole 523, the bottom of the limiting extension plate 541 is supported on the top of the hook part 5221, and the limiting protrusions 542 on both sides and the hook part 5221 fit together to form a limiting hole. The second connecting piece 53 is limited in the limiting hole and can only rotate axially.

[0057] The side plate 52 has a valve outlet hole 524 at the top and a water outlet pipe through hole 525 at the bottom. The valve outlet hole 524 is a circular through hole located in the upper part of the side plate 52 body, aligned with the valve body located at the water inlet. The water outlet pipe through hole 525 is located in the bottom part of the side plate 52 body, used to expose the water outlet pipe, and also to meet the wiring requirements of multi-core cables or flexible hoses.

[0058] The side plate 52 includes a button mounting end 526 in the middle upper position. The button mounting end 526 is an oblong hole and has an overall oblong structure. Rectangular slots are symmetrically opened on both sides of the oblong hole.

[0059] The button 55 is shaped like the waist-shaped structure of the button mounting end 526. The button 55 has symmetrical buckles on its side. When the button 55 is installed, these buckles can guide and self-position itself in the waist-shaped hole on the heat sink panel.

[0060] The cavity of the button 55 is precisely fitted with the contour hole. During installation, the user only needs to gently push the button 55 into the contour hole in a specific direction to complete the installation. The logo on the button 55 always remains in the correct position, which not only ensures the consistency of the product appearance, but also enhances brand recognition.

[0061] The button 55 is a touch button, and the circuit of the button 55 is vertically and downwardly stored in the power box 4.

[0062] In summary, the plate-type heat sink provided in this application simplifies the installation process and facilitates integration.

[0063] The first connector provided in this application not only securely connects the heat sink to components such as fans and sensors, but also prevents sensors from getting stuck in the heat sink fins and prevents the wires from being caught in the fan, thus improving the stability and safety of the entire system. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for nuts; the position of each component can be fixed simply by pressing, making it easy to install and remove.

[0064] The power supply box provided in this application has a limiting buckle that can not only fix the third sensor and prevent it from shaking or shifting, but also use its edge to lock into the limiting groove of the heat sink fins to enhance connection stability. It also plays a role in precise positioning during installation, making it convenient for users to complete the installation quickly and accurately.

[0065] The baffle provided in this application has its top plate fixed to the top of the radiator body via a side plate. Connecting grooves on both sides of the top plate engage with symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​fasteners on the top of the side plate to form a top fixation. The second connecting end at the center of the bottom of the side plate is hooked onto a hook via a double-hook L-shaped second connector, securing it to the bottom water pipe of the radiator body. This connection method ensures the baffle is securely installed, protects the radiator body, and is simple to install.
