Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation structure technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a high-power ultrasonic transducer. Background Technology
[0002] The function of an ultrasonic transducer is to convert input electrical power into mechanical power (i.e., ultrasonic waves) and then transmit it, while consuming very little power itself. However, for high-power ultrasonic transducers, due to the high energy density during operation, the internal components generate a lot of heat, which can easily lead to a decrease in the performance of the ultrasonic transducer or even damage.
[0003] Currently, some existing high-power ultrasonic transducers come with a heat dissipation structure installed at the factory. For those high-power ultrasonic transducers that do not have a heat dissipation structure installed later, when a heat dissipation structure needs to be added as required, the high-power ultrasonic transducer usually needs to be removed before installation, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a heat dissipation structure for a high-power ultrasonic transducer.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a heat dissipation structure for a high-power ultrasonic transducer, comprising a first connecting seat, a hinge shaft on the first connecting seat, a second connecting seat rotatably mounted on the hinge shaft, a torsion spring sleeved on the hinge shaft, the torsion spring providing elastic force for the second connecting seat to rotate toward the first connecting seat, arc-shaped contact plates on both the first and second connecting seats, water-cooling pipes on the outer side of the arc-shaped contact plates, the inlet ends of the two water-cooling pipes being connected through a first flexible hose, an inlet hose connected to the first flexible hose, the outlet ends of the two water-cooling pipes being connected through a second flexible hose, an outlet hose connected to the second flexible hose, the inlet hose and the outlet hose being connected to a chiller, and an auxiliary fixing component being provided on both arc-shaped contact plates.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a first connecting seat, a hinge shaft, a second connecting seat, an arc-shaped contact plate, and a water-cooling pipe are set up. The first and second connecting seats are rotated relative to each other, causing the two arc-shaped contact plates to move away from each other. The arc-shaped contact plates are then moved so that they are positioned on either side of the ultrasonic transducer. The first and second connecting seats are then released, and under the action of a torsion spring, they rotate relative to each other, causing the two arc-shaped contact plates to move. The inner side of the arc-shaped contact plates contacts the ultrasonic transducer, and the heat from the ultrasonic transducer is transferred to the arc-shaped contact plates. Cooling water is delivered into the water-cooling pipe through a chiller, inlet hose, and outlet hose, carrying away the heat from the arc-shaped contact plates and circulating for cooling, thereby reducing the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer. During installation, the ultrasonic transducer does not need to be removed, making the operation simple and convenient.
[0007] Furthermore, a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate are respectively provided on the side of the two arc-shaped contact plates away from the first connecting seat. The first connecting plate has a threaded hole, and a bolt is spirally installed in the threaded hole. The second connecting plate has a fixing hole, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are connected when the end of the bolt is located in the fixing hole.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, bolts, and fixing holes are set up. After both arc-shaped contact plates come into contact with the ultrasonic transducer, the fixing holes and threaded holes are concentric. By rotating the bolts, the bolt ends are located in the fixing holes, thus connecting the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer side of the arc-shaped contact plate is provided with several heat sinks, and the heat sinks are connected to the corresponding water cooling pipes.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up heat sinks, the heat sinks can better transfer the heat from the arc-shaped contact plate to the water cooling pipes, and the large contact area with the air allows some of the heat energy to be transferred to the air, thus providing auxiliary heat dissipation.
[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary fixing component includes a stainless steel clamp and two fixing units respectively disposed on the arc-shaped contact plate. The fixing unit includes a connecting block disposed on the arc-shaped contact plate, and an arc-shaped block is slidably disposed on the connecting block. The inner wall of the stainless steel clamp contacts and clamps the two arc-shaped blocks on the opposite side.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a connecting block and an arc-shaped block are set up, and a stainless steel clamp tightens the arc-shaped block, so that the inner side of the arc-shaped block contacts the ultrasonic transducer and the arc-shaped block slides in connection with the connecting block, thus ensuring the stability of the position of the arc-shaped contact plate.
[0013] Furthermore, rubber sheets are provided on the adjacent sides of the two arc-shaped blocks.
[0014] Furthermore, each of the two arc-shaped blocks has an arc-shaped groove on a side away from each other, and the stainless steel clamp cooperates with the arc-shaped groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, an arc-shaped groove is opened on one side of the arc-shaped block, and the stainless steel clamp cooperates with the arc-shaped groove to ensure the stability of the stainless steel clamp position.
[0016] Furthermore, two limiting rods are provided at the opening of the arc-shaped groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the connecting block is provided with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate has two guide holes, in which a guide rod connected to the arc-shaped block is slidably disposed.
[0018] Furthermore, both the first and second connecting seats are equipped with handles.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, handles are provided on both the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat. By squeezing the two handles, the staff can control the relative rotation of the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat.
[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This application includes a first connecting seat, a hinge shaft, a second connecting seat, an arc-shaped contact plate, and a water-cooling pipe. Rotating the first and second connecting seats relative to each other causes the two arc-shaped contact plates to move away from each other. Then, moving the arc-shaped contact plates so that they are positioned on either side of the ultrasonic transducer, and then releasing the first and second connecting seats, allows them to rotate relative to each other under the action of a torsion spring, moving the two arc-shaped contact plates. The inner side of the arc-shaped contact plates contacts the ultrasonic transducer, transferring heat from the ultrasonic transducer to the arc-shaped contact plates. Cooling water is supplied to the water-cooling pipe through a chiller, inlet hose, and outlet hose, carrying away the heat from the arc-shaped contact plates and circulating for cooling, thereby reducing the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer. During installation, the ultrasonic transducer does not need to be removed, making operation simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, this application discloses a heat dissipation structure for a high-power ultrasonic transducer, including a first connecting seat 10, a hinge shaft 11, a second connecting seat 12, an arc-shaped contact plate 20, and a water-cooling pipe 21. The hinge shaft 11 is disposed on the first connecting seat 10, and the second connecting seat 12 is rotatably disposed on the hinge shaft 11, so that the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 can rotate relative to each other. A torsion spring is sleeved on the hinge shaft 11, and the torsion spring provides a spring force for the second connecting seat 12 to rotate toward the first connecting seat 10. Both the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 are equipped with arc-shaped contact plates 20. Rotating the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 relative to each other causes the two arc-shaped contact plates 20 to move away from each other. Moving the arc-shaped contact plates 20 further so that they are positioned on either side of the ultrasonic transducer, and then releasing the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12, under the action of the torsion spring, causes the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 to rotate relative to each other, moving the two arc-shaped contact plates 20. The inner side of the arc-shaped contact plates 20 contacts the ultrasonic transducer, and the heat from the ultrasonic transducer is transferred to the arc-shaped contact plates 20. Water-cooling pipes 21 are provided on the outer side of each arc-shaped contact plate 20, and the water-cooling pipes 21 are coiled around the outer surface of the arc-shaped contact plate 20. The water inlet ends of the two water-cooling pipes 21 are connected through a first flexible hose 22, to which an inlet hose 23 is connected. The water outlet ends of the two water-cooling pipes 21 are connected through a second flexible hose 24, to which an outlet hose 25 is connected. Both the inlet hose 23 and the outlet hose 25 are connected to the chiller. Auxiliary fixing components 30 are shared on the two arc-shaped contact plates 20. The chiller, inlet hose 23, and outlet hose 25 deliver cooling water into the water-cooling pipe 21, carrying away heat from the arc-shaped contact plates 20 and circulating the water for cooling, thereby reducing the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer. During installation, the ultrasonic transducer does not need to be removed, making operation simple and convenient.
[0028] Specifically, both the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 are equipped with handles 13. By squeezing the two handles 13, the operator can control the relative rotation of the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12. Several heat sinks 26 are provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped contact plate 20. The heat sinks 26 are connected to the corresponding water-cooling pipes 21. The heat sinks 26 can better transfer the heat of the arc-shaped contact plate 20 to the water-cooling pipes 21, and have a large contact area with the air, transferring some of the heat energy to the air, which can assist in heat dissipation.
[0029] During setup, a first connecting plate 40 and a second connecting plate 41 are respectively provided on the side of the two arc-shaped contact plates 20 away from the first connecting seat 10. The first connecting plate 40 has a threaded hole, and a bolt 42 is spirally installed in the threaded hole. The second connecting plate 41 has a fixing hole. When the end of the bolt 42 is located in the fixing hole, the first connecting plate 40 and the second connecting plate 41 are connected. After both arc-shaped contact plates 20 are in contact with the ultrasonic transducer, the fixing hole and the threaded hole are concentric. When the bolt 42 is rotated, the bolt 42 moves relative to the first connecting plate 40, so that the end of the bolt 42 is located in the fixing hole, connecting the first connecting plate 40 and the second connecting plate 41.
[0030] In a specific configuration, the auxiliary fixing component 30 includes a stainless steel clamp 31 and two fixing units 32 respectively mounted on the arc-shaped contact plate 20. Each fixing unit 32 includes a connecting block 321 and an arc-shaped block 322. The connecting block 321 is mounted on the arc-shaped contact plate 20, and the arc-shaped block 322 is slidably mounted on the connecting block 321. The inner wall of the stainless steel clamp 31 contacts and clamps the two arc-shaped blocks 322 on opposite sides, ensuring that the inner side of the arc-shaped block 322 contacts the ultrasonic transducer and that the arc-shaped block 322 is slidably connected to the connecting block 321, thus guaranteeing the stability of the arc-shaped contact plate 20. A mounting plate 326 is provided on the connecting block 321, and two guide holes are provided on the mounting plate 326. A guide rod 327 connected to the arc-shaped block 322 is slidably mounted in the guide holes, ensuring the stability of the arc-shaped block 322's sliding motion. Rubber sheets 323 are provided on the adjacent sides of the two arc-shaped blocks 322. The rubber sheets 323 contact the ultrasonic transducer, which is more stable than the direct contact between the arc-shaped blocks 322 and the ultrasonic transducer. Arc-shaped grooves 324 are provided on the opposite sides of the two arc-shaped blocks 322. Stainless steel clamps 31 cooperate with the arc-shaped grooves 324 to ensure the stability of the stainless steel clamps 31. Two limiting rods 325 are provided at the opening of the arc-shaped grooves 324 to confine the stainless steel clamps 31 within the arc-shaped grooves 324 during installation.
[0031] The operating principle of the heat dissipation structure of a high-power ultrasonic transducer in this embodiment is as follows: First, the operator adjusts the stainless steel cable ties to the open position, then squeezes the two handles 13, causing the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 to rotate relative to each other, thus moving the two arc-shaped contact plates 20 away from each other. Next, the handles 13 are moved so that the two arc-shaped contact plates 20 are positioned on both sides of the ultrasonic transducer. Then, the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 are released. Under the action of the torsion spring, the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 12 rotate relative to each other, driving the two arc-shaped contact plates 20 to move. Then, the bolt 42 is rotated so that the end of the bolt 42 is positioned within the fixing hole. Finally, the stainless steel clamp 31 is tightened, and the arc-shaped block 322 slides into contact with the ultrasonic transducer.
[0032] The inner side of the arc-shaped contact plate 20 contacts the ultrasonic transducer, and the heat from the ultrasonic transducer is transferred to the arc-shaped contact plate 20. Cooling water is sent into the water-cooling pipe 21 through a chiller, inlet hose 23, and outlet hose 25 to remove the heat from the arc-shaped contact plate 20 and circulate for cooling, thereby reducing the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
