Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of radiator technology, and more specifically, to a radiator with horizontally assembled vertical fins. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional radiators often employ simple flat-plate heat sink structures, resulting in limited heat dissipation area and low heat dissipation efficiency. Even when some products incorporate fin designs, such as radiators with only horizontal fins, their heat dissipation direction is singular, making it difficult to create effective thermal convection within the complex internal environment of equipment. This leads to localized heat accumulation that cannot be dissipated in a timely manner. Furthermore, traditional radiators suffer from deficiencies in component connections. Some radiators rely on welding or simple sleeve connections between the heat sink fins and heat pipes. Improper welding processes can easily result in incomplete soldering, affecting heat transfer efficiency. Sleeve connections may also obstruct heat transfer due to loose contact. Moreover, this fixed connection method makes disassembly and assembly extremely inconvenient and wastes significant manpower and resources when radiator maintenance or adjustments to the heat dissipation structure are required based on equipment needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a heat sink with horizontally assembled vertical fins, which solves the technical problem that in the prior art, the heat sink fins and heat pipes are connected by welding or simple sleeve connection. If the welding process is not properly controlled, it is easy to have a false weld, which affects the heat conduction efficiency; and the sleeve connection method may lead to heat transfer obstruction due to loose contact.

[0004] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a heat sink with horizontally mounted vertical fins, comprising: An arc-shaped heat sink, wherein conductive pipes are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped heat sink; A conductive plug-in assembly is disposed inside the conductive tube; A vertically arranged heat dissipation assembly is disposed on the arc-shaped heat sink; The conductive plug assembly includes a plug tube, which is inserted into the interior of the conductive tube. The outer wall of the plug tube is provided with a screw thread, and a screw plate is provided on the plug tube. The outer contour of the screw plate is a hexagonal structure. There are two plug tubes, and the screw plates are provided on opposite sides of the two plug tubes. The two screw plates are sealed and fitted together.

[0005] As a further technical solution, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the rotating disc, and an arc-shaped ring is provided on another rotating disc, with the arc-shaped ring and the arc-shaped groove being sealed and embedded together.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the vertical heat dissipation assembly includes a connecting pipe, which is located at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped heat sink. The connecting pipe is disposed between two of the connecting pipes, and the connecting pipe is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with longitudinal heat dissipation fins, and the number of longitudinal heat dissipation fins is several, with several longitudinal heat dissipation fins being equidistantly arranged on the connecting pipe.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the screw thread on the insertion tube is screwed inside the conductive tube.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the arc-shaped grooves are formed on the opposite sidewalls of the two rotating discs, and an arc-shaped ring is embedded in the corresponding position of each arc-shaped groove.

[0010] As a further technical solution, a positioning sleeve is fitted on the outer wall of the insertion tube, and the screw thread is provided on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the connecting pipe has an arc-shaped structure, and the connecting pipe is fitted together with the arc-shaped heat sink.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows: In this disclosure, longitudinal heat sinks are arranged on the outer wall of the connecting pipe, and there are many of them distributed at equal intervals, which greatly increases the contact area with the air. When the air flows through, it can carry away more heat through thermal convection and accelerate the heat dissipation speed. At the same time, the connecting pipe has an arc-shaped structure and fits in close contact with the arc-shaped heat sink, which can better receive the heat transferred by the arc-shaped heat sink, making the heat dissipation process more efficient.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a heat sink with horizontally mounted vertical fins according to this disclosure is included: Arc-shaped heat sink 1, with conductive pipes 2 provided at both the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped heat sink 1; The conductive plug-in component 3 is disposed inside the conductive tube 2; Vertical heat dissipation component 4 is mounted on arc-shaped heat sink 1; The conductive connector assembly 3 includes a connector 3-1, which is inserted into the interior of the conductive tube 2. The outer wall of the connector 3-1 is provided with a screw thread 3-2. A screw plate 3-3 is provided on the connector 3-1. The outer contour of the screw plate 3-3 is a hexagonal structure. There are two connectors 3-1. A screw plate 3-3 is provided on the opposite side of the two connectors 3-1. The two screw plates 3-3 are sealed and fitted together.

[0022] The vertical heat dissipation assembly 4 includes a connecting pipe 4-1, and a connecting pipe 2 located at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped heat sink 1. The connecting pipe 4-1 is disposed between the two connecting pipes 2, and the connecting pipe 4-1 is connected to the connecting pipe 2.

[0023] In some examples, the arc-shaped heat sink 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire heat sink, with conductive pipes 2 installed at its upper and lower ends. These conductive pipes 2 play a crucial role, serving not only as key nodes in the heat conduction path but also as providing a foundation for the connection of subsequent components. In the actual manufacturing process, the arc-shaped heat sink 1 can be made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy, to ensure that heat can be conducted quickly and efficiently within the heat sink. The conductive pipes 2 must be tightly connected to the arc-shaped heat sink 1, for example, by using welding processes, to ensure the sealing and heat conduction efficiency of the connection, preventing heat leakage or obstruction during the transfer process.

[0024] The conductive plug assembly 3 is a key component for achieving modularity and flexible assembly of the radiator. The core of this assembly is the plug tube 3-1, which is designed to be precisely inserted into the conductive tube 2. The outer wall of the plug tube 3-1 is machined with screw threads 3-2. This design allows the plug tube 3-1 to be firmly fixed inside the conductive tube 2 by rotation. In specific operation, a corresponding tool (such as a wrench) is used to clamp the screwing disc 3-3. The outer contour of the screwing disc 3-3 is designed with a hexagonal structure to facilitate the clamping and application of force by the wrench. By rotating the screwing disc 3-3, the plug tube 3-1 can be screwed into the conductive tube 2 along the screw threads 3-2 until the appropriate tightness is achieved.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes that a rotating disc 3-3 has an arc-shaped groove 3-4, and another rotating disc 3-3 is provided with an arc-shaped ring 3-5, with the arc-shaped ring 3-5 and the arc-shaped groove 3-4 being sealed and embedded together.

[0026] In some examples, the number of screw plates 3-3 on the connector 3-1 is two, and the two screw plates 3-3 are arranged opposite each other. Their opposite sides are specially treated to achieve a sealed fit. To further enhance the sealing performance, a special structure is designed on the screw plates 3-3: one screw plate 3-3 has an arc groove 3-4, and the other screw plate 3-3 is provided with a matching arc ring 3-5.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the connecting pipe 4-1 is provided with longitudinal heat sinks 4-2, and there are several longitudinal heat sinks 4-2, which are equidistantly arranged on the connecting pipe 4-1.

[0028] In some examples, several longitudinal heat sinks 4-2 are evenly and equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 4-1. The number of these longitudinal heat sinks 4-2 depends on the specific specifications of the radiator and the heat dissipation requirements. Their function is to significantly increase the heat dissipation area. When the hot fluid flows in the connecting pipe 4-1, the heat is conducted through the pipe wall to the longitudinal heat sinks 4-2. The longitudinal heat sinks 4-2 exchange heat with the surrounding air and dissipate the heat to the surrounding environment. Because there are many longitudinal heat sinks 4-2 and they are evenly distributed, the heat dissipation efficiency can be significantly improved and the temperature of the equipment can be effectively reduced.

[0029] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the screw thread 3-2 on the insertion tube 3-1 is screwed into the inside of the guide tube 2, and the arc groove 3-4 is opened on the opposite side wall of the two screwing discs 3-3. An arc ring 3-5 is embedded in the corresponding position of each arc groove 3-4.

[0030] In some examples, during installation, the arc ring 3-5 is tightly embedded in the arc groove 3-4 to form a good sealing structure, effectively preventing fluid (such as coolant) leakage at the connection and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the heat conduction path.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a positioning sleeve 5 is fitted on the outer wall of the insertion tube 3-1, and a screw thread 3-2 is provided on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 5.

[0032] In some examples, a positioning sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the connector 3-1. The positioning sleeve 5 provides precise positioning for the installation of the connector 3-1 in the conductive tube 2, ensuring that the connector 3-1 is screwed into the conductive tube 2 accurately. On the other hand, the screw thread 3-2 is set on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 5, which can provide a certain degree of protection for the connector 3-1, preventing damage to the connector 3-1 itself during the screwing process, extending the service life of the connector 3-1, and thus improving the reliability of the entire radiator.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting pipe 4-1 has an arc-shaped structure, and the connecting pipe 4-1 is fitted together with the arc-shaped heat sink 1.

[0034] In some examples, the vertical heat dissipation assembly 4 is an important part of improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. It mainly consists of a connecting pipe 4-1 and a vertical heat sink 4-2. The connecting pipe 4-1 is located between two conductive pipes 2 and is connected to the conductive pipes 2. This connection structure ensures that the heat fluid can flow smoothly throughout the heat dissipation system. The connecting pipe 4-1 has an arc-shaped structure and is closely fitted to the arc-shaped heat sink 1. This close fit design not only increases the stability of the structure, but more importantly, it can maximize the utilization of the heat transferred from the arc-shaped heat sink 1.

[0035] To further improve the sealing performance between the two rotary discs 3-3, a layer of sealant can be applied to the contact surface of the arc groove 3-4 and the arc ring 3-5. The sealant should have good high temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance to ensure that it can maintain excellent sealing performance under the long-term high temperature working environment of the radiator, prevent coolant leakage, and ensure the stable operation of the heat dissipation system.

[0036] For key components such as the arc-shaped heat sink 1, the conductive pipe 2, the insertion pipe 3-1, the connecting pipe 4-1, and the longitudinal heat sink 4-2, appropriate materials should be selected according to the actual usage environment and heat dissipation requirements. In environments with high temperature, high humidity, or corrosive gases, stainless steel can be selected because it has good corrosion resistance and high strength. In applications with strict weight requirements and high heat dissipation demands, aluminum alloy is the first choice due to its light weight and good thermal conductivity. By selecting materials reasonably, costs can be reduced and the cost-effectiveness of the heat sink can be improved while meeting heat dissipation performance requirements.

[0037] In use, the first step is the initial reception and conduction of heat. When the radiator is applied to heat-generating equipment (such as engines, electronic components, etc.), the arc-shaped heat sink 1 is in direct contact with the heat source or indirectly connected through a heat conduction medium. The heat generated by the heat source will be quickly transferred to the arc-shaped heat sink 1. Since the arc-shaped heat sink 1 uses high thermal conductivity materials such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy, the heat can be quickly diffused inside it, laying the foundation for the subsequent heat dissipation process.

[0038] Next, the heat is further transferred through the conductive pipe 2. The conductive pipe 2 at both ends of the arc-shaped heat sink 1 is tightly connected to the heat sink. When the heat diffuses to a certain extent in the arc-shaped heat sink 1, it will be naturally conducted to the conductive pipe 2. The conductive pipe 2, as the intermediate channel for heat transfer, gathers the heat from the arc-shaped heat sink 1 and provides a heat source for the vertical heat dissipation assembly 4. At the same time, the plug pipe 3-1 in the conductive plug assembly 3 is connected to the conductive pipe 2 by screwing the thread 3-2. Its good sealing performance ensures that the heat will not be lost due to fluid leakage during the transfer process, thus ensuring the stability and continuity of heat transfer.

[0039] Then, the vertical heat dissipation component 4 plays a core role in heat dissipation. The connecting pipe 4-1 connects the upper and lower conductive pipes 2. The heat from the conductive pipe 2 flows into the connecting pipe 4-1. Since the connecting pipe 4-1 has an arc-shaped structure and is closely attached to the arc-shaped heat sink 1, it further receives the heat transferred by the arc-shaped heat sink 1, causing a large amount of heat to be dissipated to accumulate in the connecting pipe 4-1. Several vertical heat sinks 4-2 on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 4-1 increase the contact area with the air. When the air flows through the vertical heat sinks 4-2, the heat will be transferred from the vertical heat sinks 4-2 to the air through thermal convection. The vertical heat sinks 4-2 are numerous and evenly distributed, which greatly improves the efficiency of heat exchange and accelerates the dissipation of heat.

[0040] In addition, the sealing and connection structure of each component plays an important role in ensuring the realization of the working principle. The sealing and embedding of the arc groove 3-4 and arc ring 3-5 on the screw plate 3-3, as well as the sealant that may be applied, ensure that neither gaseous nor liquid heat transfer medium will leak during the heat transfer process, maintain the stability of pressure and flow inside the heat dissipation system, and ensure the integrity of the heat transfer path. The positioning sleeve 5 on the plug pipe 3-1 not only achieves precise installation, but also protects the structure of the plug pipe 3-1, ensuring that it participates in the heat transfer process stably for a long time.

[0041] In summary, the radiator receives heat through the arc-shaped heat sink 1, transfers it through the conductive pipe 2 and the plug pipe 3-1, and then dissipates the heat into the air through the connecting pipe 4-1 and the longitudinal heat sink 4-2 of the longitudinal heat dissipation component 4. The various components work together to form an efficient and stable heat dissipation circulation system, which effectively cools the heat-generating equipment.
