Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiator technology, and more specifically, to an improved water-cooled radiator structure. Background Technology

[0002] A water-cooled radiator is a device that uses liquid circulation to dissipate heat. Its working principle involves a water pump circulating water through pipes. The water absorbs heat from the heat-generating elements and dissipates it into the environment through fins or a radiator, thus achieving a cooling effect. A water-cooled radiator typically consists of several main parts: a water block, circulating fluid, a water pump, piping, and a water tank. Compared to traditional air-cooled radiators, water-cooled radiators have many advantages, such as higher heat capacity and lower noise levels. Because liquids conduct heat better than air, water-cooled radiators can transfer heat more effectively. Furthermore, their flexible and adaptable structure can accommodate different heat dissipation needs. In addition, water-cooled radiators can further improve heat dissipation efficiency by increasing the heat dissipation area.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 202220112435.5, which discloses a water-cooled radiator that is easy to install and disassemble. The radiator includes an upper copper plate, a lower copper plate, and a connecting frame. The lower copper plate has a drainage groove with a cold water inlet and a hot water outlet. The upper and lower copper plates are sealed together, and both sides have U-shaped grooves. The connecting frame has T-shaped grooves on both sides. The upper and lower copper plates slide within the T-shaped grooves via the U-shaped grooves. A stop block is located at the rear of the T-shaped groove, and a limit block is installed at the front. The upper copper plate has a concave, thin design in the middle and a sealing groove on its reverse side. The lower copper plate has steps around its drainage groove that mate with the sealing groove. The connecting frame has four mounting ears on its outer side and a fixing plate in the middle. Two exhaust fans are mounted on the fixing plate. This invention allows for quick installation and disassembly, facilitating maintenance. The thin design of the two copper plates, combined with the externally mounted exhaust fans, enables rapid heat dissipation and efficient heat transfer. However, the above-mentioned patent still has the following problems when in use: the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate are slidably installed on the mounting bracket through the T-slot without any additional clamping and fixing measures. Cooling water is easy to leak out from between the two copper plates. Moreover, the two copper plates after installation are only limited by the limiting block installed on the front side, and the overall limiting structure is not stable and reliable enough. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems in the above-mentioned patent where the upper and lower copper plates are slidably installed on the mounting bracket via T-slots without additional clamping and fixing measures, making it easy for cooling water to leak out between the two copper plates. Furthermore, the two copper plates are only limited by a limiting block installed on the front side after installation, resulting in an unstable and unreliable overall limiting structure.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An improved water-cooled radiator structure was developed to address the aforementioned issues.

[0007] The application is as follows:

[0008] The system includes a connecting frame, an upper copper plate, a lower copper plate, and an exhaust fan mounted on top of the connecting frame. The lower copper plate has a water flow channel inside, and an inlet pipe and a drain pipe that cooperate with the water flow channel are installed on the front of the lower copper plate.

[0009] A square-shaped extrusion frame is slidably installed on the inner side of the connecting frame. An elastic component is connected to the top of the extrusion frame. Several elastic components are provided, and the top of the elastic component is connected to the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame.

[0010] The connecting frame is equipped with a limiting component that cooperates with the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the connecting frame. The side walls of the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate are respectively fixedly connected with a first slider and a second slider that cooperate with the sliding groove.

[0011] The limiting component includes a plurality of evenly distributed positioning rods, the positioning rods passing through the connecting frame and the slider, the connecting frame having a first limiting hole that cooperates with the positioning rod, the first slider having a second limiting hole that cooperates with the positioning rod, and the second slider having a screw hole that cooperates with the positioning rod.

[0012] The top of the positioning rod is rotatably mounted with an eccentric clamping assembly located on the top of the mounting bracket, and an elastic sealing gasket is provided between the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the eccentric clamping assembly includes two eccentric wheels, a rotating handle, and a crossbar.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning rod has a hole that cooperates with the crossbar, and the two eccentric wheels are rotatably connected to the positioning rod through the crossbar that passes through the positioning rod. The handle includes a connecting rod that connects the two eccentric wheels, and a grip is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, four guide rods that cooperate with the extrusion frame are installed on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame, and the four guide rods are respectively located at the four inner corners of the extrusion frame.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the elastic component includes a mounting base installed on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame, a spring installed inside the mounting base, the bottom end of the spring being connected to the extrusion frame, and a groove that cooperates with the spring being provided on the top of the extrusion frame.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom end of the positioning rod is provided with a threaded groove that cooperates with the screw hole, and the positioning rod is threadedly connected to the second slider through the threaded groove and the screw hole.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] In the scheme of this application:

By setting up the extrusion frame, elastic component and eccentric clamping component, the elastic component and eccentric clamping component can simultaneously apply extrusion force in both the upper and lower copper plates during use. Together with the upper and lower copper plates, they can bidirectionally clamp the sealing gasket between them, making the sealing between the upper and lower copper plates better and preventing cooling water from leaking out from between the upper and lower copper plates. In addition, multiple evenly distributed elastic components can also make the top of the lower copper plate evenly stressed, making the sealing effect between the upper copper plates better.

These terms are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an improved water-cooled radiator structure, including a connecting frame 1, an upper copper plate 2, a lower copper plate 3, and an exhaust fan mounted on top of the connecting frame 1. The lower copper plate 3 has a water flow channel inside, and an inlet pipe and a drain pipe that cooperate with the water flow channel are installed on the front of the lower copper plate 3.

[0037] A square-shaped extrusion frame 6 is slidably installed on the inner side of the connecting frame 1. An elastic component 4 is connected to the top of the extrusion frame 6. Several elastic components 4 are provided, and the top of the elastic component 4 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame 1.

[0038] The connecting frame 1 is equipped with a limiting component that cooperates with the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3. Two sliding grooves 8 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the connecting frame 1. The first slider 9 and the second slider 11 that cooperate with the sliding grooves 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3.

[0039] The limiting assembly includes multiple evenly distributed positioning rods 5, which pass through the connecting frame 1 and the slider 9. The connecting frame 1 has a first limiting hole 7 that cooperates with the positioning rods 5, the first slider 9 has a second limiting hole 10 that cooperates with the positioning rods 5, and the second slider 11 has a screw hole 12 that cooperates with the positioning rods 5. By setting multiple positioning rods 5, the first limiting hole 7, the second limiting hole 10, and the screw hole 12 can cooperate with the connecting frame 1, the first slider 9, and the second slider 11 to limit the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3 at multiple positions. The limiting structure is more stable and reliable, and can effectively prevent the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3, which are slidably installed inside the connecting frame 1, from moving. At the same time, the positioning rods 5, which are directly inserted into the first limiting hole 7, the second limiting hole 10, and the screw hole 12, can be removed to separate the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3 when it is necessary to remove them from the connecting frame 1. This makes disassembly more convenient and quick.

[0040] The top of the positioning rod 5 is rotatably mounted with an eccentric pressing component 15 located on the top of the mounting bracket 1. An elastic sealing gasket is provided between the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3. By setting the extrusion frame 6, the elastic component 4 and the eccentric pressing component 15, the elastic component 4 and the eccentric pressing component 15 can simultaneously apply extrusion force in both the upper and lower directions to the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3 during use. This, together with the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3, bidirectionally presses the sealing gasket between them, resulting in better sealing between the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the eccentric clamping assembly 15 further includes two eccentric wheels 152, a rotating handle, and a crossbar 153. The positioning rod 5 has a hole that cooperates with the crossbar 153. The two eccentric wheels 152 are rotatably connected to the positioning rod 5 via the crossbar 153 passing through it. The handle includes a connecting rod 151 connecting the two eccentric wheels 152, and a grip 154 ​​is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 151. It should be noted that during use, the grip 154 ​​and connecting rod 151 can rotate the two eccentric wheels 152, which are rotatably connected to the positioning rod 5 via the crossbar 153. This allows the positioning rod 5 to be lifted upwards via the eccentric wheels 152. At this time, the positioning rod 5, whose bottom end is threadedly connected to the lower copper plate 3 via the screw hole 12 and the second slider 11, will drive the lower copper plate 3 to move upwards, thereby compressing the sealing gasket between the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, four guide rods 14 that cooperate with the extrusion frame 6 are further installed on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame 1. The four guide rods 14 are located at the four inner corners of the extrusion frame 6. It should be noted that by setting the guide rods 14, the extrusion frame 6 is guided and limited from the four inner corners of the extrusion frame 6 when it moves up and down, thereby preventing the extrusion frame 6 from failing to extrude the edge of the lower copper plate 3 due to positional deviation.

[0043] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the elastic component 4 further includes a mounting base 401 installed on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame 1. A spring 402 is installed inside the mounting base 401, and the bottom end of the spring 402 is connected to the compression frame 6. The top of the compression frame 6 has a groove 403 that cooperates with the spring 402. It should be noted that in use, the spring 402 can compress the top of the upper copper plate 2 through its own elasticity and the compression frame 6. The mounting base 401 and the groove 403 facilitate the installation of the spring 402.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the bottom end of the positioning rod 5 is further provided with a threaded groove that cooperates with the screw hole 12. The positioning rod 5 is threadedly connected to the second slider 11 through the threaded groove and the screw hole 12. It should be noted that the threaded groove and screw hole 12 facilitate the detachable connection between the bottom end of the positioning rod 5 and the lower copper plate 3 through the second slider 11.

[0045] Specifically, the working principle of this improved water-cooled radiator structure is as follows: During use, the upper copper plate 2 and lower copper plate 3 are joined together. Then, the pressing frame 6 is lifted, pushing the upper copper plate 2 and lower copper plate 3 into the connecting frame 1 through the sliding groove 8 and slider 9, so that the positions of the first limiting hole 7, the second limiting hole 10, and the screw hole 12 correspond to each other. The pressing frame 6 is then lowered. At this time, the elastic component 4, under its own elastic force, presses the top of the lower copper plate 3 through the pressing frame 6. Then, the positioning rod 5 passes through the first limiting hole 7, the second limiting hole 10, and the screw hole 12, penetrating the connecting frame 1, the first slider 9, and the second slider 11, thereby fixing the positions of the upper copper plate 2 and lower copper plate 3. The positioning rod is then rotated... The bottom end of rod 5 is screwed into the screw hole 12. Then, the two eccentric wheels 152 are rotated by the handle 154 and the connecting rod 151. The bottom end of the eccentric wheel 152 will press against the top of the connecting frame 1, thereby lifting the positioning rod 5 upward. At this time, the positioning rod 5, whose bottom end is threaded to the lower copper plate 3 through the screw hole 12 and the second slider 11, will drive the lower copper plate 3 to move upward, thereby squeezing the sealing gasket between the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3. During use, the cooling water is delivered to the water flow channel in the upper copper plate 2 through the water inlet pipe by the water pump, so that the cooling water absorbs the heat of the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3. After absorbing the heat of the upper copper plate 2 and the lower copper plate 3, the cooling water will be discharged through the drain pipe.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
