Description
A heat sink side plate structure Technical Field
[0001] This solution relates to the field of heat dissipation equipment technology, and in particular to a heat sink side plate structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing radiator side panels are typically connected to the radiator body with bolts, which results in cumbersome installation, exposed bolts affecting appearance, and bolt loosening over time leading to decreased sealing. Furthermore, traditional side panels have limited functionality and lack integrated design; for example, button control modules, piping interfaces, and nameplate information displays require separate assembly, leading to complex structures and higher costs.
[0003] Therefore, a radiator side panel structure that is compact, easy to install, and functional is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this solution provides a radiator side panel structure that optimizes the side panel shape, connection structure, and functional integration design to achieve convenient installation, a clean appearance, and the elimination of bolts.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this solution is: a radiator side plate structure, including a side plate body, wherein the side plate body is connected to the radiator body through a top first connecting end and a bottom second connecting end;
[0006] The side panel body has a nameplate limit hole, a button mounting end, an inlet valve interface end, and an outlet pipe through hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the first connecting end is a symmetrically arranged snap fastener that engages with the groove on the edge of the radiator to form a top limit.
[0008] Furthermore, the second connecting end includes a hook located at the center below the side plate body and a double-hook L-shaped connector hanging on the hook. The connector cooperates with the horizontal tube at the bottom of the radiator and is fixed at the bottom by pressing.
[0009] Furthermore, the connector is hung on the hook, and the hook is aligned with the nameplate limiting hole.
[0010] Furthermore, a nameplate is installed inside the nameplate limiting hole, and the nameplate fits into the hook limiting connector.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting surface of the nameplate includes an extension plate and symmetrically arranged limiting protrusions.
[0012] Furthermore, the nameplate and nameplate limiting hole are combined, the bottom of the extension plate is supported on the top of the hook, the limiting protrusions on both sides fit together with the hook to form limiting holes, and the connector is limited to the side plate body through the limiting holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the side panel body also includes a button mounting end, which is an oblong hole with symmetrical limiting grooves on both sides of the oblong part to cooperate with the contoured protrusions on the outer periphery of the button and restrict the circumferential rotational freedom of the button.
[0014] Furthermore, the area above the button mounting end is the water inlet valve interface end, which has a circular through hole.
[0015] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe through hole is provided in the bottom area of the side panel body.
[0016] In summary, this solution has the following advantages:
[0017] The solution provides a top first connecting end that engages with the radiator recess and a bottom second connecting end that engages with the radiator horizontal tube. Installation can be completed without any tools, avoiding problems such as bolt corrosion, loosening, and exposure that affect the appearance, and significantly improving assembly efficiency.
[0018] The nameplate plate provided in this solution is embedded in the side plate limiting connector, which presses the horizontal connecting section of the connector, suppresses the lateral displacement of the connector, and avoids the buckle loosening due to long-term use.
[0019] The button mounting end provided by this solution achieves precise directional positioning through a waist-shaped hole contour structure, ensuring that the button logo is always in the correct position, thereby improving product appearance consistency and brand recognition.

[0028] The present solution will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] A radiator side panel structure, as shown in Figures 1-6, includes a side panel body 100. The side panel body 100 is connected to the radiator body via a top first connecting end 110 and a bottom second connecting end 120. The second connecting member 122 includes a connector 122 that hangs on a hook portion 121. The side panel body 100 has a nameplate limiting hole 130, and a nameplate 131 is installed in the nameplate limiting hole 130 to limit the connector 122. The side panel body 100 also integrates a button mounting end 140, a water inlet valve interface end 150, and a water outlet through hole 160.
[0031] The overall shape and size of the side plate body 100 correspond to the side of the heat sink. In this embodiment, it is a rectangular structure. An extension plate 101 is provided on the side where it contacts the heat sink to ensure a tight connection.
[0032] The first connecting end 110 is located on the top of the side panel body and is a symmetrically arranged buckle. The first connecting end 110 engages with the groove on the edge of the heat sink to form a top limit.
[0033] The second connecting end 120 is located at the lower center of the side plate body 100, including a hook 121 and a connector 122. The connector 122 is hung on the hook 121. The connector 122 is a double-hook L-shaped connecting frame made of metal. The connector 122 and the horizontal tube corresponding to the bottom of the radiator are fixed at the bottom by pressing the hook.
[0034] When the connector 122 is hung on the hook 121, the nameplate 131 is installed in the nameplate limiting hole 130. The nameplate 131 passes through the nameplate limiting hole 130 and, through the front and rear limiting of the hook 121, can fix the connector 122 hanging on the hook 121.
[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the nameplate 131 connecting surface includes an extension plate 1311 and symmetrically arranged limiting protrusions 1312. When the nameplate 131 is installed in the nameplate limiting hole 130, the bottom of the extension plate 1311 is supported on the top of the hook 121, and the limiting protrusions 1312 on both sides and the hook 121 fit together to form a limiting hole. The connector 122 is limited in the limiting hole and can only rotate axially, which ensures the activity space of the connector 122 and restricts its unnecessary shaking.
[0036] A button mounting end 140 is provided at the upper middle position of the side panel body 100. The button mounting end 140 is an oblong hole with an overall oblong structure. Rectangular limiting grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the oblong hole. The structure of the button mounting end 140 ensures that the circumferential freedom of the button is fully constrained, ensuring that the button logo always remains in the correct position and improving the consistency of the product appearance.
[0037] The outlet valve interface is located in the upper area of the side plate body 100. The inlet valve interface end 150 is on the same axis in the vertical direction as the button mounting end 140, the second connection end 120 and the outlet pipe through hole 160. The interface is a circular through hole. The distance from the center of the hole to the top edge and side edge of the side plate is adjusted according to the structure of the radiator to ensure that it matches the pipe position of the internal water system of the radiator.
[0038] The water outlet pipe through hole 160 is located in the bottom area of the side plate body 100. The distance between the center of the hole and the bottom edge and side edge of the side plate is adjusted according to the structure of the radiator to expose the water outlet pipe, and also to meet the wiring requirements of multi-core cables or hoses.
[0039] In summary, the top first connecting end provided by this application engages with the radiator groove, and the bottom second connecting end engages with the radiator horizontal tube. Installation can be completed without any tools, avoiding problems such as bolt corrosion, loosening, and exposure that affect the appearance, and significantly improving assembly efficiency.
[0040] The nameplate plate embedded side plate limiting connector provided in this application presses the horizontal connecting section of the connector, suppresses the lateral displacement of the connector, and avoids the buckle loosening due to long-term use.
[0041] The button mounting end provided in this application achieves precise directional positioning through a waist-shaped hole contour structure, ensuring that the button logo is always in the correct position, thereby improving the consistency of product appearance and brand recognition.
