Later water-cooled radiators that used magnetic connections for simplified connections also suffered from problems such as difficulty in accurately positioning electrical conduction and the potential for component misalignment.

[0033] This disclosure provides a water-cooled radiator that solves the problems of cumbersome disassembly and assembly, poor contact reliability, and poor expandability of existing water-cooled radiators. Specific embodiments and accompanying drawings are described below. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 The present invention will be further elaborated and explained.

[0034] As attached Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a water-cooled radiator, including: a controller module 1, including a controller housing 11 and a motherboard 12, the motherboard 12 being encapsulated inside the controller housing 11, and a first mounting hole 111 being provided at the bottom of the controller housing 11 for mounting a first electrical connector 13; and a radiator body 2, including a pump housing 21, a pump body 22, cooling channels, and a cooling chamber, and a second mounting hole 211 being provided at the top of the pump housing 21 for mounting a second electrical connector 23; wherein, the radiator body 2 is magnetically connected to the controller housing 11, and the second mounting hole 211 is coaxially aligned with the first mounting hole 111, and the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 23 are in contact and conductive. The water-cooled radiator uses magnetic connection instead of screws or clips to achieve quick assembly and disassembly, and the coaxially designed first mounting hole 111 and second mounting hole 211 are used to maintain precise alignment of the first electrical connector 13 and the second electrical connector 23.

[0035] In one embodiment, the controller housing 11 uses a waterproof adhesive layer to seal and install the motherboard 12 inside it. The motherboard 12 supports various expansion modules such as multiple screens and temperature control probes, and has good functional expandability and waterproof performance.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom of the controller housing 11 is provided with a first magnetic element 3 and at least one guide post 4, and the top of the pump housing 21 is provided with a second magnetic element 5 and a guide groove 6 that matches the guide post 4. The first magnetic element 3 and the second magnetic element 5 are magnetically attracted to each other so that the controller housing 11 and the pump housing 21 can be detachably connected. When magnetically connected, the guide post 4 is inserted into the guide groove 6 to limit horizontal displacement. The water-cooled radiator achieves blind insertion alignment through the guide post 4 / groove, improving installation efficiency. Under the dual action of magnetic attraction and guide structure, it can achieve quick disassembly and assembly and improve connection stability. Optionally, the diameter of the guide groove 6 is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide post 4, thereby limiting horizontal displacement to within 0.5mm and avoiding misalignment of the electrical connector.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first magnetic component 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the guide post 4, and the second magnetic component 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide groove 6. The first magnetic component 3 and the second magnetic component 5 are magnetically connected in the guide groove 6. When magnetically connected, the magnetic component is placed inside the guide groove 6 to enhance the magnetic connection strength.

[0038] In one embodiment, a buckle is provided on the wall of the guide groove 6, and the buckle protrudes towards the center of the guide groove 6. The second magnetic component 5 is pressed and fixed to the bottom of the guide groove 6 by the buckle. The buckle structure requires adhesive or screws to reduce assembly costs and facilitate the replacement of magnetic components.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first magnetic element 3 is arranged around the guide post 4, and the second magnetic element 5 is arranged around the guide groove 6. For example, the first magnetic element 3 and the second magnetic element 5 are ring magnets with opposite polarities, or a combination of ring magnets and ring magnetic materials. The corresponding arrangement of the two can effectively increase the magnetic attraction area, enhance the resistance to lateral tensile force, and effectively optimize the magnetic force distribution to avoid local stress concentration.

[0040] In one embodiment, the guide posts 4 and guide grooves 6 are symmetrically distributed along the circumferential edges of the controller housing 11 and the pump housing 21, respectively, with a one-to-one correspondence between the guide posts 4 and guide grooves 6. Figure 1 As shown, the water-cooled radiator has four sets of guide pillars 4 and guide grooves 6 at the corresponding corners. The multiple sets of guide structures can limit rotational offset and enhance the magnetic connection strength.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first magnetic component 3 and the second magnetic component 5 are magnets with opposite polarities, or a combination of magnets and magnetic materials, so that the heat sink body 2 and the controller housing 11 are magnetically connected.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first electrical connector is a flexible conductive pin, and the second electrical connector is a conductive connecting plate with conductive contacts. The flexible conductive pin adaptively compensates for assembly errors, thereby reducing contact resistance and improving the reliability of the electrical connection. Optionally, the flexible conductive pin is a gold-plated copper pin with a hemispherical end, and the conductive connecting plate is an array of copper contacts with a nickel-plated surface, which provides wear resistance, oxidation resistance, and extended service life.

[0043] In one embodiment, the water-cooled radiator further includes a screen assembly 7, which is encapsulated inside the controller housing 11 and electrically connected to the motherboard 12. The screen and the radiator body share a common flexible conductive pin for power supply, eliminating the need for additional wiring. For structural optimization, the controller housing 11 includes an upper housing 11a and a lower housing 11b, with the screen assembly 7 fixedly mounted between the upper housing 11a and the lower housing 11b. The upper housing 11a extends and covers the outer side of the radiator body 2.

[0044] The above provides a detailed description of a water-cooled radiator provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea and method of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
