[0039] To make the utility model's objectives, features, and advantages more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "front," "rear," "left," and "right," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected / set" to another component, it can be connected / set to another component, or it may simultaneously have a component centrally positioned.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic.

[0043] This embodiment provides a high-efficiency heat dissipation system. Please refer to... Figure 1-2 The heat dissipation system includes a radiator 1. A cooling fan 2 is fixedly connected to a first side of the radiator 1, and a chassis bracket 3 abuts against a second side. The radiator 1 is provided with a heat dissipation surface 11 for contacting the device 6 to be cooled, and the heat dissipation surface 11 is located between the cooling fan 2 and the chassis bracket 3.

[0044] This heat dissipation system helps the device 6 to dissipate heat in two ways. First, the cooling fan 2 generates airflow towards the device 6, thus helping to dissipate heat. Second, the heat from the device 6 can be conducted to the chassis bracket 3 through the radiator 1, thereby utilizing the chassis bracket 3 for heat dissipation. The chassis bracket 3 has a larger area than the radiator 1, meaning it has a larger heat dissipation area. In summary, the heat dissipation system provided in this embodiment has high heat dissipation efficiency. This embodiment utilizes the chassis bracket 3 as a component of the heat dissipation system, which does not affect the conventional support function of the chassis bracket 3 as a support structure for mounting components such as wheels, and also adds a heat dissipation function to the chassis bracket 3. Thus, even without using semiconductor cooling or other water cooling devices, high heat dissipation efficiency can be achieved at a low cost.

[0045] In this embodiment, the chassis bracket 3 and the radiator 1 are preferably made of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metal or carbon fiber. Among the metal materials, copper alloy or aluminum alloy is preferred, as it is easy to process and has high thermal conductivity.

[0046] In this embodiment, a thermally conductive silicone pad 5 is provided on the heat dissipation surface 11. The thermally conductive silicone pad 5 is located between the heat dissipation surface 11 and the device to be cooled 6, with one side contacting the device to be cooled 6 and the other side contacting the heat dissipation surface 11. The heat dissipation surface 11 contacts the device to be cooled 6 through the thermally conductive silicone pad 5. The thermally conductive silicone pad 5 is elastic and has high thermal conductivity, so the thermally conductive silicone pad 5 and the device to be cooled 6, as well as the thermally conductive silicone pad 5 and the heat dissipation surface 11, can make tight contact, ensuring uniform heat conduction. The provision of the thermally conductive silicone pad 5 can avoid uneven heat conduction caused by poor contact between the device to be cooled 6 and the heat dissipation surface 11 due to processing or installation errors.

[0047] In this embodiment, the radiator 1 includes two rows of heat dissipation fins 12, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the heat dissipation surface 11. Each row of heat dissipation fins 12 includes a plurality of heat dissipation fins 12 arranged at equal intervals, and a fin gap 13 is left between two adjacent heat dissipation fins 12 for airflow. Each heat dissipation fin 12 is in contact with the device 6 to be cooled.

[0048] The heat dissipation fins 12 can further increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation capacity. The heat sink 1 is preferably integrally formed, in which case the material of the heat dissipation fins 12 is the same as the material of other parts of the heat sink 1, preferably copper alloy or aluminum alloy.

[0049] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation system includes multiple connecting posts 4. The heat dissipation fins 12 are divided into connecting heat dissipation fins 122 for fixing the connecting posts 4 and ordinary heat dissipation fins 121 for not fixing the connecting posts 4. The thickness of the connecting heat dissipation fins 122 is greater than that of the ordinary heat dissipation fins 121. The end of the connecting post 4 opposite to the connecting heat dissipation fins 122 is fixedly connected to the cooling fan 2.

[0050] Each row of heat dissipation fins 12 includes two connecting heat dissipation fins 122 and at least one ordinary heat dissipation fin 121. In each row of heat dissipation fins 12, each ordinary heat dissipation fin 121 is located between two connecting heat dissipation fins 122.

[0051] Specifically, the side of the heat sink fins 12 facing the cooling fan 2 is all horizontal. The side of the heat sink fins 122 facing the cooling fan 2 has threaded holes, and the end of the connecting post 4 facing the heat sink fins has a connecting post screw head, which is threaded into the threaded holes of the fins. Each of the four corners of the side of the cooling fan 2 facing the radiator 1 has a fan through hole, and the side of the connecting post 4 facing the cooling fan has a connecting post threaded hole. The four fan through holes and the four connecting post threaded holes correspond one-to-one, and each fan through hole is threadedly connected to its corresponding connecting post threaded hole. Therefore, the air blown by the cooling fan 2 is completely directed at the radiator 1, maximizing heat dissipation efficiency.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3-5 In this embodiment, the fin gap 13 has a groove structure with openings on three sides. The three sides of the fin gap 13 are the side facing the cooling fan 2, the side facing the heat dissipation device 6, and the side away from the heat dissipation device 6.

[0053] The groove depth of the fin gap 13 on the side closer to the heat dissipation device 6 is less than the groove depth on the side away from the heat dissipation device. Specifically, the bottom of the groove of the fin gap 13, in order from near to far from the heat dissipation device 6, consists of a horizontal bottom surface 131 and a sloping bottom surface 132. The maximum groove depth of the sloping bottom surface 132 is greater than the groove depth of the horizontal bottom surface 131, and the minimum groove depth of the sloping bottom surface 132 is equal to the groove depth of the horizontal bottom surface 131. For example... Figure 4 As shown in Figure D, the groove depth refers to the distance between the bottom of the fin gap 13 (i.e., the side facing away from the cooling fan 2) and its groove opening (i.e., the side facing the cooling fan 2).

[0054] The sloped surface 132 at the bottom of the fin gap allows the radiator 1 to dissipate heat better and reduces its weight, making the overall product lighter. Increasing the depth of the groove in the fin gap 13 would reduce the contact area between the radiator 1 and the device 6 to be cooled, hindering the radiator 1 from transferring heat from the device 6 to the chassis support 3. In this embodiment, a sloped surface is provided on the side of the fin gap 13 away from the heat dissipation device to increase the groove depth, which does not affect the contact area between the radiator 1 and the device 6 while improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation device 6 is a motor with a cylindrical structure. A portion of the motor is located between the heat dissipation surface 11 and the cooling fan 2, and contacts the thermally conductive silicone pad 5. The heat dissipation surface 11 is the side of the heat sink 1 facing the cooling fan 2. Since the motor has a cylindrical structure, the heat dissipation surface 11 should correspond to its outer surface; therefore, the heat dissipation surface 11 is an arc surface. The chassis support 3 has a plate-like structure. The side of the heat sink 1 facing the chassis support 3 should correspond to the outer surface of the chassis support 3; therefore, the side of the heat sink 1 facing the chassis support 3 is a flat surface.

[0056] The radiator 1 is fixedly connected to the chassis bracket 3. Specifically, at least one radiator threaded hole is provided on the side of the radiator 1 facing the chassis bracket 3. The chassis bracket is provided with a chassis through hole corresponding to the radiator threaded hole. The screw passes through the chassis through hole and is threaded to the corresponding radiator threaded hole.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the motor drives the wheels to rotate, there are generally two motors corresponding to the two wheels. Therefore, the cooling system should include two radiators 1. Depending on the requirements, the two radiators 1 can be installed separately or integrally formed. In this embodiment, the two radiators 1 are installed separately. Figure 5 As shown, when the two radiators 1 are set separately, the fin gaps 13 included in the two rows of heat dissipation fins 12 of each radiator 1 should be provided with a bottom slope surface 132 on the side away from the heat dissipation device.

[0058] The heat dissipation system provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0059] 1. By using the chassis bracket 3 as a component of the heat dissipation system, the heat dissipation efficiency is improved;

[0060] 2. The addition of cooling fan 2 and heat dissipation fins 12 improves heat dissipation efficiency;

[0061] 3. A thermally conductive silicone pad 5 is placed between the heat dissipation surface 11 and the heat dissipation device 6 to avoid poor contact and uneven heat conduction.

[0062] 4. A sloping bottom surface 132 is provided at the bottom of the heat dissipation gap 13 to further improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0063] This embodiment also discloses a robot that includes the aforementioned heat dissipation system. Therefore, the beneficial effects of this robot are the same as those of the heat dissipation system, and will not be described again here.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6-8 The difference between this embodiment and the previously described embodiment one is that in this embodiment, the two heat sinks 1 are fixedly connected by an integral molding method, and the docking part of the two heat sinks 1 is a row of heat dissipation fins 12 on each side. Figure 6 As shown, the row of heat dissipation fins 12 on the left side of the radiator 1 and the row of heat dissipation fins 12 on the right side of the radiator 1 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, the fin gaps 13 in the two rows of heat dissipation fins 12 used for docking are connected, and the bottom of the fin gap 13 groove here is no longer provided with a gap bottom slope surface 132, but is composed of a gap bottom horizontal surface 131.

[0067] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the term "connection" can include various mechanical connection methods, such as welding, riveting, threaded connection, bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, locking connection, joining, etc.

[0068] In this article, "several" and "at least one" refer to one or more, while "multiple" and "at least two" refer to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0069] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
