Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cooling radiators, and in particular to a water cooling radiator structure with side openings. Background Technology
[0002] A water-cooled radiator has an inlet and an outlet, and multiple water channels inside. This allows it to fully utilize the advantages of water cooling and remove more heat. This is the basic principle of a water-cooled radiator.
[0003] Existing water cooling radiators typically have inlet and outlet ports, usually located on the upper wall of the first water tank and spaced apart for easy installation. However, with the development of DIY computer cases, the demand for water cooling radiators has increased, one of which is a side-opening water tank structure. However, side-opening water tanks require relatively high pump pressure, so the existing design needs to redesign the entire water tank to improve its structural strength. Consequently, its design and production costs also increase (the existing frame has two integrated plates on both sides, which serve as bracing, etc.), affecting market competitiveness.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent 202411367410.X uses a structure with two water holes located on the upper wall of the first water tank. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a side-opening water cooling radiator structure, which aims to improve the existing water cooling radiator structure by setting one of the water holes in the side wall of the first water tank, while making only minor improvements to the original frame design, thereby reducing production costs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a side-opening water-cooled radiator structure, comprising:
[0007] The water tank is a rectangular tube with through holes at both ends.
[0008] The water tank includes a first water tank and a second water tank, and the first water tank has a first left side hole and a first right side hole at its two ends, respectively.
[0009] The second water tank has a second left-side hole and a second right-side hole at each end.
[0010] The first water tank has a partition in the middle, dividing it into a first chamber and a second chamber. The top wall of the first chamber has a first water hole.
[0011] The first sealing plate has its two ends respectively engaged with the first left-side hole and the second left-side hole.
[0012] The second sealing plate has one end engaged with the second right-side hole, forming a sealed cavity around the second water tank.
[0013] A profile component is fitted into a first left-side hole. A countersunk hole is located in the center of the profile component; this countersunk hole serves as a second water hole, which communicates with a second chamber.
[0014] The bracket is provided at least one, and the bracket is disposed on the opposite wall of the first water tank and the second water tank and fixed to each other.
[0015] Compared to existing water-cooled radiators, the structure of the second sealing plate, along with the support frame, allows the first and second water tanks to form a frame structure through the cooperation of the first and second sealing plates and the support frame, thereby improving the overall structural stability.
[0016] Furthermore, by setting a profile at the position of the first right-side hole, the first water tank is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber, thereby meeting the requirements for top water inlet and side water inlet and improving its applicability. Attached Figure Description
