Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to liquid cooling heat dissipation, and more particularly to a water cooling radiator structure for a liquid cooling device. [Background Technology]

[0002] A typical liquid cooling system usually includes a radiator, fluid piping, a water pump, and a heat dissipation module. The water pump is responsible for driving the coolant circulation to ensure that heat is effectively transferred from the heat source to the radiator and then discharged. Moreover, air may get trapped or seep into the radiator of a traditional water cooling system, and gas may accumulate in the coolant during the filling process or during long-term operation.

[0003] Furthermore, when gas enters the fluid pipeline and flows further into the water pump, it may cause air to be drawn into the pump during operation (i.e., cavitation), which can affect the pump's operating efficiency and lifespan, and even reduce the stability and heat dissipation performance of the overall water cooling system. In addition, gas trapped in the pipeline may cause uneven coolant flow, reducing the heat dissipation effect in some parts and thus affecting the safe operation of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, the applicant's research motivation is to effectively prevent air from entering the fluid pipes and water pumps from the water cooling radiator and to ensure the stable operation of the water cooling system. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a water-cooling radiator structure for a liquid cooling device, so as to effectively prevent air in the water-cooling radiator from entering the fluid pipes and water pump, and to ensure the stable operation of the water cooling system.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a water-cooled radiator structure for a liquid cooling device, comprising a housing, multiple water pipes, multiple liquid cooling pipes, and a guide pipe. The housing includes a frame, a first water tank, and a second water tank, which are connected to opposite sides of the frame. The first water tank includes a first partition that divides its interior into a first inlet area and a first outlet area. The second water tank includes a second partition that divides its interior into a second inlet area and a second outlet area. The multiple water pipes include inlet pipes and outlet pipes. The inlet pipe has an inlet extending into the first inlet area, and the outlet pipe has an outlet extending into the first outlet area. The multiple liquid cooling pipes are arranged at intervals within the frame, with one end of each pipe connected to the first water tank and the other end connected to the second water tank. The guide pipe bridges the second inlet area and the second outlet area, and includes a guide inlet located in the second inlet area and a guide outlet located in the second outlet area. The inlet is diagonally positioned relative to the guide inlet, and the outlet is diagonally positioned relative to the guide outlet.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water-cooled radiator structure further includes multiple fins disposed between adjacent liquid-cooled pipes.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frame base includes a first frame plate and a second frame plate disposed opposite to each other, and the liquid cooling pipe is disposed in parallel between the first frame plate and the second frame plate.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first water tank includes a first hollow tube, the second water tank includes a second hollow tube, and the frame includes a plurality of first baffles extending from both sides of the first frame plate and a plurality of second baffles extending from both sides of the second frame plate. The first baffles and the second baffles are connected to the two ends of the first hollow tube and the second hollow tube.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first hollow tube is provided with a plurality of first slots on the side facing the liquid cooling tube, and a second hollow tube is provided with a plurality of second slots on the side facing the liquid cooling tube, with the two ends of the liquid cooling tubes respectively inserted into the first slots and the second slots.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the side of the housing where the water pipe is provided is defined as the first side, and the opposite side perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling pipe is defined as the second side. The water inlet and water outlet are close to the second side, and the flow guide inlet and flow guide outlet are close to the first side.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the guide pipe extends from the second water inlet area into the second water tank and then into the second water outlet area.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the side of the housing where the water pipe is provided is defined as the first side, and the opposite side perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling pipe is defined as the second side. The water inlet and water outlet are close to the first side, and the flow guide inlet and flow guide outlet are close to the second side.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the guide pipe extends from the second water inlet area into the second water tank and then into the second water outlet area.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the second partition is provided with a groove, and the guide pipe is positioned in the groove.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second water tank has an inner plate connected to the liquid cooling pipe and an outer plate away from the liquid cooling pipe, and the guide pipe is attached to the outer plate and maintains a gap with the inner plate.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies, the water-cooling radiator structure of this utility model has a water tank with a partition plate, forming an inlet and outlet water area. A guide pipe spans between the inlet and outlet water areas, so that the coolant remaining in the inlet water area must flow through the guide pipe into the outlet water area. Moreover, when external air enters the water tank, it will move and accumulate at the top of the inlet water area due to its light density, preventing it from entering the outlet water area through the guide pipe. This avoids air entering the water pump and increases its practicality in use. [Attached Image Description]

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0025] The detailed description and technical content of this utility model are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This is an exploded perspective view and a cross-sectional view of the water-cooling radiator structure of the liquid cooling device of this utility model. The water-cooling radiator structure 1 of the liquid cooling device of this utility model includes a housing 10, multiple water pipes 20, multiple liquid cooling pipes 30, multiple fins 40, and a guide pipe 50. The housing 10 includes a frame 11, a first water tank 12, and a second water tank 13. The first water tank 12 and the second water tank 13 are connected to opposite sides of the frame 11. The first water tank 12 includes a first hollow tube 121 and a first partition 122 located on the first hollow tube 121. The first partition 122 divides the interior of the first water tank 12 into a first water inlet area 123 and a first water outlet area 124. The second water tank 13 includes a second hollow tube 131 and a second partition 132 located on the second hollow tube 131. The second partition 132 divides the interior of the second water tank 13 into a second water inlet area 133 and a second water outlet area 134. Furthermore, these water pipes 20 are connected to the first water tank 12 of the housing 10. These water pipes 20 include an inlet pipe 21 provided in the first water inlet area 123 and an outlet pipe 22 provided in the first water outlet area 124.

[0027] These liquid cooling pipes 30 are arranged at intervals within the frame 11. One end of each liquid cooling pipe 30 is connected to the first water tank 12, and the other end is connected to the second water tank 13. Furthermore, these fins 40 are disposed between adjacent liquid cooling pipes 30. Moreover, the guide pipe 50 spans between the second water inlet area 133 and the second water outlet area 134. One end of the guide pipe 50 is located in the second water inlet area 133, and the other end is located in the second water outlet area 134.

[0028] It is worth noting that the second partition 132 is provided with a groove 135. The guide pipe 50 is positioned in the groove 135. In addition, the second water tank 13 has an inner plate 136 connecting the liquid cooling pipes 30 and an outer plate 137 away from the liquid cooling pipes 30. Moreover, the guide pipe 50 is attached to the outer plate and maintains a gap with the inner plate 136.

[0029] Specifically, the frame 11 includes a first frame plate 111 disposed opposite to each other, a plurality of first baffles 112 extending from both sides of the first frame plate 111, a second frame plate 113, and a plurality of second baffles 114 extending from both sides of the second frame plate 113. Furthermore, the liquid cooling pipes 30 are disposed parallel to each other between the first frame plate 111 and the second frame plate 113. The first baffles 112 and the second baffles 114 are connected to both ends of the first hollow tube 121 and the second hollow tube 131.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first hollow tube 121 has a plurality of first slots 120 on the side facing the liquid cooling tubes 30. The second hollow tube 131 has a plurality of second slots 130 on the side facing the liquid cooling tubes 30. The two ends of the liquid cooling tubes 30 are respectively inserted into the first slots 120 and the second slots 130. It should be noted that the liquid cooling tubes 30 include a plurality of first rows of tubes 31 near the first frame plate 111 and a plurality of second rows of tubes 32 near the second frame plate 113. The first rows of tubes 31 connect the first water inlet area 123 and the second water inlet area 133. The second rows of tubes 32 connect the first water outlet area 124 and the second water inlet area 133.

[0031] Accordingly, coolant 2 (such as water) enters the first water tank 12 through the inlet pipe 21, flows through the first row of pipes 31 to exchange heat with the fins 40, then enters the second water tank 13 and flows through the guide pipe 50, subsequently flows through the second row of pipes 32 to exchange heat with the fins 40 again, and finally enters the first water tank 12 again, and flows out of the water-cooled radiator structure 1 through the outlet pipe 22. It should be noted that the heat of the coolant 2 exchanges heat with these fins 40 through the liquid cooling pipes 30, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the water flow in both directions of the water-cooling radiator structure of the liquid cooling device of this utility model. In this embodiment, the coolant 2 enters the first inlet area 123 of the first water tank 12 from the inlet pipe 21, flows into the liquid cooling pipe 30 connected to the first inlet area 123, and then flows along the liquid cooling pipe 30 into the second inlet area 133 of the second water tank 13. Moreover, the coolant 2 remaining in the second inlet area 133 is squeezed into the guide pipe 50 and flows along the guide pipe 50 into the second outlet area 134. Subsequently, the coolant 2 in the second outlet area 134 flows into the liquid cooling pipe 30 connected to the second outlet area 134, and then flows along the liquid cooling pipe 30 into the first outlet area 124 of the first water tank 12. Finally, the coolant 2 in the first outlet area 124 flows out of the first water tank 12 from the outlet pipe 22, thereby circulating and dissipating heat from the coolant 2.

[0033] It should be noted that the side of the housing 10 where the water pipe 20 is located is defined as the first side S1; the opposite side, perpendicular to the extension direction of these liquid cooling pipes 30, is defined as the second side S0. In this embodiment, the guide pipe 50 is attached to the inner wall of the second water tank 13 and is located on the side of the housing 10 close to the first side S1. Furthermore, when external air 3 flows into the housing 10, it enters the second water tank 13 from the first water tank 12 along the liquid cooling pipe 30. Moreover, the coolant 2 must flow into the second outlet area 134 via the guide pipe 50. Because external air 3 is lighter, it moves and accumulates at the top of the second inlet area 133 when it remains in the second water tank 13, thus preventing it from entering the second outlet area 134. Therefore, external air 3 will not flow out from the outlet pipe 22, thereby preventing air from entering the external water pump (not shown).

[0034] It is worth noting that the inlet pipe 21 has an inlet 210 extending into the first inlet area 123. Additionally, the guide pipe 50 has a first guide port 51 located in the second inlet area 133 (see reference). Figure 1 The inlet 210 and the first guide port 51 are positioned diagonally relative to the housing 10. Similarly, the outlet pipe 22 has an outlet 220 extending into the first outlet area 124. Additionally, the guide pipe 50 has a second guide port 52 located in the second outlet area 134. The outlet 220 and the second guide port 52 are positioned diagonally relative to the housing 10.

[0035] Accordingly, coolant 2 enters the first inlet zone 123 of the first water tank 12 from the inlet pipe 21, flows into the liquid cooling pipe 30 connected to the first inlet zone 123, and then flows along the liquid cooling pipe 30 into the second inlet zone 133 of the second water tank 13. Moreover, coolant 2 remaining in the second inlet zone 133 is squeezed into the guide pipe 50 and enters the second outlet zone 134 along the guide pipe 50.

[0036] Please take another photo. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of water flow in another embodiment of the water-cooled radiator structure of the liquid cooling device of this utility model. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment lies in the position of the guide pipe 50. The side of the housing 10 where the inlet pipe 21a and outlet pipe 22a are located is defined as the first side S1; the opposite side is defined as the second side S0. The inlet pipe 21a has an inlet 210a extending into the first water tank 12a, and the outlet pipe 22a has an outlet 220a extending into the first water tank 12a. Furthermore, the guide pipe 50 has a guide inlet 51a and a guide outlet 52a located in the second water tank 13a.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inlet 210a and the outlet 220a are close to the first side S1. The guide inlet 51a and the guide outlet 52a are close to the second side S0. Furthermore, the inlet 210a is diagonally arranged relative to the guide inlet 51a, and the outlet 220a is diagonally arranged relative to the guide outlet 52a.

[0038] Similarly, when external air 3 flows into the housing 10, it enters the second water tank 13 from the first water tank 12 along the liquid cooling pipe 30. Furthermore, when it remains in the second water tank 13, it moves and accumulates at the top of the second water inlet area 133, thus preventing it from entering the second water outlet area 134. In this way, external air 3 will not flow out from the water outlet pipe 22, thereby preventing air from entering the water pump.

[0039] Please take another picture. Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional external schematic diagram and cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the water-cooling radiator structure of the liquid cooling device of this utility model. This embodiment is largely the same as the previous embodiment. The housing 10b includes a frame 11b, a first water tank 12b, and a second water tank 13b. The water pipe 20b includes an inlet pipe 21b and an outlet pipe 22b disposed in the first water tank 12b. The difference in this embodiment lies in the arrangement of the guide pipe 50b.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the housing 10b is defined as a first side SI on the side where the water pipes 20b are disposed, and a second side SO on the opposite side perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling pipes 30b. The inlet pipe 21b has an inlet 210b extending into the first water tank 12b, and the outlet pipe 22b has an outlet 220b extending into the first water tank 12b. Additionally, the guide pipe 50b has a guide inlet 51b and a guide outlet 52b located in the second water tank 13a. In this embodiment, the guide pipe 50b extends from the second side SO into the second water tank 13b and then extends into the second water tank 13b from the first side SI. Furthermore, the inlet 210b and the outlet 220b are close to the second side SO. The guide inlet 51b and the guide outlet 52b are close to the first side SI.

[0041] Please continue the photo. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the water-cooled radiator structure of the liquid cooling device of this utility model. In this embodiment, the housing 10c includes a frame 11c, a first water tank 12c, and a second water tank 13c. The water pipe 20c includes an inlet pipe 21c and an outlet pipe 22c disposed in the first water tank 12c.

[0042] The housing 10c is defined as a first side S1 on the side where the water pipes 20c are disposed, and a second side S0 on the opposite side perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling pipes 30c. The inlet pipe 21c has an inlet 210c extending into the first water tank 12c, and the outlet pipe 22c has an outlet 220c extending into the first water tank 12c. Additionally, the guide pipe 50c has a guide inlet 51c and a guide outlet 52c located in the second water tank 13c, and the guide pipe 50c extends from the second side S0 into the second water tank 13c and then re-enters the second water tank 13c from the first side S1. This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the inlet 210c and the outlet 220c are close to the first side S1. Furthermore, the guide inlet 51c and the guide outlet 52c are close to the second side.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Other equivalent changes that utilize the patent spirit of the present utility model should all fall within the patent scope of the present utility model.
