Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation module technology, specifically a modular heat dissipation module. Background Technology

[0002] A heat dissipation module is a device that transfers heat generated by machinery or other appliances during operation to avoid affecting their normal operation. The host will generate a lot of heat during use, and common heat dissipation methods can be divided into many types such as air cooling, heat pipe heat sink, liquid cooling, semiconductor cooling, and compressor cooling. One type is air cooling heat dissipation module, which is usually composed of a casing and multiple air cooling fan blades.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN223078651U entitled "A Spliced ​​Host Cooling Module". This patent discloses a spliced ​​host cooling module, including a housing. The upper surface of the housing has a plurality of mounting holes evenly distributed. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. A motor is mounted on the surface of the fixing frame. A plurality of fan blades are evenly fixedly connected to the arc surface of the motor. The inner wall of the housing has a splicing structure. The splicing structure includes two connecting plates. Both sides of the two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the housing. A base plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. An abutment block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. A rotating frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate at a position relative to the abutment block. A U-shaped plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating frame. Two side plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing at a position relative to the other side of the connecting plates. An extension block is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two side plates.

[0004] The aforementioned patents address the issues of multiple fan blades typically housed within the casing, making it inconvenient for personnel to freely select the number to install within the main unit, and the large size of the casing hindering overall handling and transport. Existing technologies, including these patents, can meet the installation needs of heat dissipation modules to some extent. However, existing heat dissipation modules usually require external parts such as screws for fixation. This can lead to misalignment during assembly, resulting in a cumbersome installation process, reduced efficiency, and certain shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-10 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular heat dissipation module, including a first module 1 and a second module 2. The first module 1 is provided with a connecting plate 3, and the second module 2 is provided with a positioning plate 4. A snap-fit ​​component is provided between the connecting plate 3 and the positioning plate 4. The snap-fit ​​component includes a snap block 5 fixedly connected to the positioning plate 4. The connecting plate 3 has a snap-fit ​​groove 6 adapted to the snap block 5. When the first module 1 and the second module 2 are assembled, the snap block 5 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 6. A pre-fixing unit is also provided between the snap block 5 and the snap-fit ​​groove 6.

[0023] Specifically, this modular heat dissipation module includes a first module 1 and a second module 2. Both modules are existing technologies, and their structures and working principles are identical. They include fans, which generate airflow by rotating, accelerating air movement and carrying away hot air around the heatsink, allowing the heatsink to continuously dissipate heat into the surrounding environment. A connecting plate 3 is provided on the first module 1, and a positioning plate 4 is provided on the second module 2. More specifically, the positioning plate 4 is located on the side of the first module 1 furthest from the connecting plate 3, and the connecting plate 3 is located on the side of the second module 2 furthest from the positioning plate 4. This allows the heat dissipation module to be combined with other heat dissipation modules, further expanding its applicability. A snap-fit ​​component is provided between the connecting plate 3 and the positioning plate 4. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​component includes a snap block 5 fixedly connected to the positioning plate 4, and a slot 6 on the connecting plate 3 that matches the snap block 5. Both the snap block 5 and the slot 6 are boss-shaped, facilitating the installation of the snap block 5. When the first module 1 and the second module 2 are spliced ​​together, the card block 5 is engaged in the card slot 6; a pre-fixing unit is also provided between the card block 5 and the card slot 6 to pre-fix the card block 5.

[0024] Therefore, in actual use, when the first module 1 and the second module 2 are spliced ​​together, the locking block 5 will be locked inside the slot 6. During this process, the pre-fixing unit can pre-fix the locking block 5 and the slot 6, realizing the rapid splicing of the first module 1 and the second module 2, avoiding the use of external parts such as screws, improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the pre-fixing unit further ensures the initial positioning during the splicing process, preventing misalignment and improving the accuracy and convenience of installation.

[0025] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the pre-fixing unit includes an elastic clip 8 disposed on the clip 5, and the connecting plate 3 is provided with a pre-fixing stripe groove 7 inside the slot 6. When the first module 1 and the second module 2 are spliced, the elastic clip 8 is engaged in the pre-fixing stripe groove 7. Specifically, when the clip 5 is engaged inside the slot 6, pre-fixing can be achieved through elastic deformation during the splicing process, providing preliminary mechanical interlocking, enhancing the stability and tactile feedback of the splicing, and preventing the modules from falling off or misaligning before they are fully fixed.

[0026] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a positioning mechanism is also provided between the connecting plate 3 and the positioning plate 4, which can further fix the card block 5 in the connecting plate 3 after the splicing is completed, thereby enhancing the rigidity and connection strength of the overall structure, preventing the module from separating due to vibration or external force, and improving the reliability and safety of use.

[0027] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a locking rod 9 slidably connected to the connecting plate 3, and a positioning groove 10 adapted to the locking rod 9 is provided on the locking block 5. The locking rod 9 and the positioning groove 10 are engaged and cooperated. When the locking rod 9 is engaged inside the positioning groove 10, it ensures that the assembled module will not undergo relative displacement, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0028] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a power component is provided inside the connecting plate 3. The power component drives the locking rod 9 to engage in the positioning groove 10 to fix the locking block 5, thereby improving the efficiency and consistency of splicing.

[0029] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the power component includes a drive screw 11 rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3, a drive frame 12 slidably connected inside the connecting plate 3, the drive frame 12 being connected to the clamping rod 9 via a support rod 13, and the drive frame 12 being threadedly connected to the drive screw 11. Specifically, the extension and retraction of the clamping rod 9 can be easily controlled by rotating the drive screw 11, thereby realizing the installation and disassembly of the first module 1 and the second module 2. The operation is simple and the force is controllable.

[0030] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a drive disk 14 is fixedly connected to the drive screw 11, and a locking component is provided between the drive disk 14 and the connecting plate 3. The drive screw 11 can be locked after it is rotated into position to prevent the locking rod 9 from being loosened due to accidental rotation, thereby further improving the structural stability and safety after splicing.

[0031] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the locking component includes a locking ball 15 slidably connected to the drive disk 14, and a spring 16 is provided between the locking ball 15 and the drive disk 14. The connecting plate 3 has multiple locking grooves 17 adapted to the locking ball 15. The elastic force of the spring 16 drives the locking ball 15 to engage in the locking groove 17. When the locking ball 15 is engaged in one of the locking grooves 17, it can provide a further locking effect for the drive screw 11. When it is necessary to drive the screw to rotate, only a force greater than the elastic force of the spring 16 needs to be applied to cause the locking ball to retract into the drive disk 14, thereby driving the drive screw 11 to rotate.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, a guide groove 18 is provided on the connecting plate 3. The guide groove 18 is connected to multiple locking grooves 17, which guides the locking ball 15 to smoothly enter the locking groove 17, reducing operating resistance and wear, and extending service life.

[0033] In the embodiment provided by this utility model, there are two clamping rods 9, which are slidably connected to both sides inside the connecting plate 3. The number of drive frames 12 is the same as the number of clamping rods 9, and the drive screw 11 is a bidirectional screw. The two drive frames 12 are threaded to both sides of the drive screw 11. When each clamping rod 9 is clamped inside the clamping block 5, it can ensure that the clamping block 5 is subjected to uniform force, avoid stress concentration on one side, and achieve better results.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
