Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-cooled plate technology, and more specifically, to a water-cooled plate heat dissipation structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the trend towards higher performance and miniaturization in electronic devices, chip power density continues to rise, making heat dissipation a core challenge restricting device reliability and lifespan. Water-cooled plates, due to their efficient heat conduction capabilities, are widely used in the active cooling of high-power chips (such as GPUs, CPUs, and power modules).
[0003] Traditional water-cooled plates improve heat dissipation efficiency by incorporating fins, pins, and other structures below the heat source to increase the contact area between the fluid and the solid. However, with chip power exceeding 500W / cm², [further improvements are needed]. 2 At this scale, traditional heat dissipation structures face the following bottlenecks:
[0004] Limited improvement in heat dissipation efficiency: Traditional finned or pin structures rely on passively expanding the heat dissipation area, and their thermal boundary layer gradually thickens along the flow direction, leading to a decrease in the local convective heat transfer coefficient. For high-power chips, such structures struggle to exceed the heat flux density threshold, limiting the potential for improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0005] Uneven temperature distribution causes thermal stress: In traditional flow channel designs (such as parallel flow and serpentine flow), the coolant flow path does not match the heat source distribution, causing high-temperature hotspots (temperature differences of up to 15°C or more) to form in the central area of the chip, while the peripheral area dissipates heat excessively. This temperature gradient can induce thermal stress, causing chip warping or even cracking, seriously affecting device lifespan.
[0006] The dilemma of balancing flow resistance and heat dissipation performance: To improve heat dissipation efficiency, existing technologies often enhance disturbance by increasing pin density or reducing flow channel cross-sectional area. However, such designs significantly increase flow resistance (pressure drop exceeding 50 kPa), leading to a surge in pump power demand and a decrease in system energy efficiency ratio.
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, existing improvement solutions often focus on local optimizations. For example, non-uniform pin arrangement can be used to match the heat source distribution, but this results in high processing complexity and poor adaptability. Adding turbulence columns or fin microstructures within the flow channel has limited boundary layer disruption effects and significantly increases pressure drop. Introducing a multi-stage coolant distribution system requires an additional power unit, making it difficult to balance cost and reliability.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of water-cooled plate heat dissipation structure that can break through the traditional heat dissipation logic that relies on area expansion and achieve the dual goals of efficient heat dissipation and temperature balance through the coordinated design of flow path and turbulence mechanism.

[0010] A water-cooled plate heat dissipation structure is characterized by comprising: a base plate 10, wherein a circularly arranged pin-shaped flow disturbance structure 40 is provided in the central region of the base plate 10 to enhance fluid disturbance in the central region; a multi-channel loop flow channel 50 is provided around the outer side of the pin-shaped flow disturbance structure 40, wherein the inlet of the loop flow channel 50 is connected to the coolant inlet 20 and the outlet is connected to the coolant outlet 30; the flow direction of the coolant inlet 20 is set to vertically impact the pin-shaped flow disturbance structure 40, and the vertical impact flow forms a high-speed jet that directly acts on the high-temperature region in the center of the base plate 10, forcibly breaking the stable development of the thermal boundary layer, significantly reducing the boundary layer thickness, and the turbulence effect of the impact flow enhances the momentum exchange between the fluid and the base plate 10, thereby increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient in the central region.
[0011] Furthermore, the loop channel 50 is a multi-layered concentric annular channel, enabling the coolant to diffuse and flow layer by layer.
[0012] Furthermore, the coolant inlet 20 is aligned with the axis of the pin-shaped flow deflection structure 40.
[0013] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the coolant inlet 20 is smaller than the total cross-sectional area of the loop channel 50 to form a flow velocity gradient.
[0014] Furthermore, the coolant outlet 30 is located at the end of the outermost annular channel of the loop channel 50, and the outlet cross-sectional area gradually increases to reduce flow resistance.
[0015] Furthermore, the flow area of the loop channel 50 is smaller than that of the pin turbulence area, which is used to increase the coolant flow rate and enhance the heat exchange efficiency.
[0016] In some embodiments, the pin height, diameter, and spacing of the pin-shaped flow-disrupting structure 40 are optimized based on the target heat dissipation power and fluid resistance.
[0017] In some embodiments, the chip 60 is located under the base plate 10. Through the flow path of the coolant from the center outward through the loop channel 50, the coolant preferentially contacts the highest temperature area in the center of the chip 60 (usually the core of the heat source). The high flow rate carries away the concentrated heat, avoids the accumulation of central temperature, and makes the temperature gradient of the coolant match the temperature gradient of the chip 60 to balance the overall temperature distribution of the chip 60.

The liquid outlet 30 is located at the end of the outermost annular channel of the loop flow channel 50, and the outlet cross-sectional area is gradually increased to reduce flow resistance. The flow direction of the coolant inlet 20 is set to vertically impact the pin-shaped turbulence structure 40, and the coolant inlet 20 is aligned with the axis of the pin-shaped turbulence structure 40. The vertical impact flow forms a high-speed jet that directly acts on the high-temperature region in the center of the base plate 10, forcibly breaking the stable development of the thermal boundary layer, significantly reducing the boundary layer thickness. The turbulence effect of the impact flow enhances the momentum exchange between the fluid and the base plate 10, thereby increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient in the central region.
[0028] The flow area of the loop channel 50 is smaller than that of the pin turbulence area, which is used to increase the coolant flow rate and enhance the heat exchange efficiency. The pin height, diameter and spacing of the pin turbulence structure 40 are optimized according to the target heat dissipation power and fluid resistance.
[0029] The chip 60 is located at the bottom of the base plate 10. Through the flow path of the coolant from the center outward through the loop channel 50, the coolant preferentially contacts the highest temperature area in the center of the chip 60 (usually the core of the heat source). The high flow rate carries away the concentrated heat, avoids the accumulation of central temperature, and makes the temperature gradient of the coolant match the temperature gradient of the chip 60 to balance the overall temperature distribution of the chip 60.
[0030] The base plate 10 is provided with a cover plate 70 on its upper part. The base plate 10 and the cover plate 70 are sealed together by brazing. The base plate 10, the pin turbulence structure 40 and the loop flow channel 50 are integrally formed structures.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model proposes a water-cooled plate heat dissipation structure, including: a base plate 10, the central area of which is provided with a circularly arranged pin-shaped flow structure 40 to enhance the fluid turbulence in the central area; a multi-channel loop flow channel 50 is provided around the outer side of the pin-shaped flow structure 40, the inlet of the loop flow channel 50 is connected to the coolant inlet 20, and the outlet is connected to the coolant outlet 30; the flow direction of the coolant inlet 20 is set to vertically impact the pin-shaped flow structure 40, and the coolant inlet 20 vertically impacts the high-temperature area in the center of the chip 60, directly destroying the thermal boundary layer, and combined with the secondary eddy current induced by the circular array of pins, the convective heat transfer coefficient is improved; the coolant flows spirally from the center outward along the multi-layer concentric annular flow channel, and the flow path is dynamically matched with the temperature gradient of the chip 60. The low-temperature coolant in the center efficiently absorbs the heat from the hot spots, and the heated coolant in the outer area evenly removes the excess heat, thereby making the temperature of the chip 60 more uniform.
