Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present application that provides an electric card module 10. The electric card module 10 includes an electric card core 1, which generates a temperature change based on the electric card effect to produce cold or heat; a support frame for fixing the electric card core 1, and the support frame has a heat exchange medium channel for discharging cold or heat.
[0032] According to the electric card module 10 in this embodiment, the electric card core 1 generates temperature changes based on the electric card effect. When an electric field is applied, the electric card core 1 undergoes a reversible adiabatic temperature change, releasing heat through the orderly arrangement of dipoles within the material. After the electric field is removed, the dipoles become disordered and absorb heat, forming cold energy. The support frame not only provides a stable installation structure for the electric card core 1 but also constructs a heat exchange medium channel that runs through multiple layers, allowing the medium to flow along a set path through the surface of each core, achieving efficient heat or cold energy extraction. The same electric card module 10 allows for free switching between cooling and heating functions, facilitating cooling of components to be cooled or heating of components to be heated. Additionally, the flow direction of the heat exchange medium can be switched to cool or heat components to be heated, where the component to be cooled or heated can be the display screen 17.
[0033] Optionally, the card core 1 includes multiple units to generate more cooling or heating. The electrodes on both sides of each card core 1 are connected in parallel by conductive adhesive or other conductive materials, so that the power on and off can be controlled simultaneously.
[0034] Compared to related technologies that utilize thermoelectric modules for cooling and heating in temperature control devices, where thermoelectric modules use direct current to achieve cooling and heating through a series connection of two different semiconductor materials in a thermocouple, the cooling and heating effect of a thermoelectric module is directly related to the magnitude and direction of the current. In this solution, the electric card module 10 controls temperature based on the Electrocard effect, changing the arrangement of electric dipoles within the material through an electric field. The temperature control effect of the electric card module 10 mainly depends on parameters such as electric field strength and frequency. In contrast, the electric card module 10 does not involve Joule heat loss due to the resistance of semiconductor materials found in thermoelectric modules, resulting in higher energy conversion efficiency. Therefore, for the same output power, the electric card module 10 requires less energy, is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and operates with lower noise, making it more environmentally friendly.
[0035] In some embodiments, the support frame includes a skeleton 2 and a module compartment 3, wherein the skeleton 2 is used to support the module compartment and the module compartment is used to fix the card core 1.
[0036] Optionally, the inner wall of the frame 2 may be provided with positioning slots and bosses to ensure precise alignment of the module grid 3 during assembly and avoid displacement caused by vibration or thermal expansion and contraction. In addition, the module grid 3 and the frame 2 can be locked together by positioning pins and a snap-fit structure to ensure that the core can maintain a stable position during operation and improve the long-term reliability of the system.
[0037] In some embodiments, the module grid layer 3 has at least one layer, and each module grid layer 3 has mounting holes; the module grid layer 3 includes at least an insulating material to avoid electrical interference between the card cores 1.
[0038] Specifically, the module grid layer 3 can be a multi-layer structure, with each layer having mounting holes that match the shape of the card core 1 for inserting the core layer by layer, further improving heat exchange efficiency. The module grid layer 3 includes at least insulating material to prevent electrical interference between the card cores 1, and can also effectively prevent arc breakdown or partial discharge between adjacent cores under high-voltage electric fields, avoiding thermal runaway caused by uneven electric field distribution, and improving the system's safe operation under high electric field conditions.
[0039] In some embodiments, the module grid layer 3 has two or more layers, and the heat exchange medium channel includes the channel between the gaps of the multiple module grid layers 3.
[0040] Specifically, the multi-layer module lattice 3 forms heat exchange medium channels within the frame 2. The heat exchange medium flows sequentially through the gaps between each layer along the axial direction, forming a multi-stage heat exchange path. This multi-layer channel structure ensures more uniform heat distribution within the module, avoids excessive local temperature differences, and guarantees stable and reliable transfer of hot and cold energy.
[0041] In some embodiments, the overall structure of the electronic card module 10 is an axisymmetric structure, which includes at least one of a cylinder and a regular polygonal prism.
[0042] Specifically, the overall structure of the card module is an axisymmetric structure. The axisymmetric structure has good thermal balance characteristics during operation, avoiding excessive local temperature differences.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the card module 10 adopts a regular hexagonal prism shape, so that the card cores 1 are evenly distributed in a hexagonal array, maximizing space utilization and improving heat exchange efficiency. Heat exchange interfaces are provided on each of the six sides to achieve six-way symmetrical heat exchange and eliminate local hot spots. Optionally, the card module 10 utilizes an axisymmetric structure (such as a regular hexagonal prism) to set multiple inner and outer module grid layers 3, with a reasonably designed heat exchange medium channel in the middle, allowing for sufficient heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the card cores 1 in the module grid layers 3. The card cores 1 are filled in the module grid layers 3 in an array, which allows for reasonable allocation of assembly points and reserved space for wiring circuit layout. This card module 10 is small in size, easy to hide, and does not affect the appearance.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, the support frame includes a skeleton 2 and a module grid layer 3. The skeleton 2 is a double-layered hexagonal prism, with outward openings on each side of the inner and outer hexagonal prisms for fixing the module grid layer 3 containing the MLCC chip 1. An inner module grid layer 4 is disposed on the side of the inner hexagonal prism of the skeleton 2, and an outer module grid layer 5 is disposed on the side of the outer hexagonal prism of the skeleton 2. Optionally, each side of the outer module grid layer 5 has holes, allowing for the array stacking of 44 MLCC chips 1 (4*1*11), and each side of the inner module grid layer 4 has holes, allowing for the array stacking of 12 MLCC chips 1 (1*12). A total of (44+12)*6 (336 MLCCs) are stacked on 12 sides.
[0045] Optionally, the array form and number of cores on the module grid layer 3 can be adjusted according to the actual thermal and circuit design. For example, the number of modules containing the card core 1 can be changed, such as three or four layers, and the diagonal surface of the skeleton 2 can also be hollowed out as the module grid layer 3.
[0046] In some optional embodiments, the inner grid layer 4 and the outer grid layer 5 of the module are connected by a transverse partition of the skeleton 2. Optionally, the transverse partition is the diagonal of the skeleton 2 in the hexagonal prism card module 10. The transverse partition can be designed to be in a blocking state, meaning that the working fluid of two adjacent heat exchange medium channels will not experience thermal crosstalk. Alternatively, depending on the actual system heat exchange design, the transverse partition can be adjusted to have a central opening to allow heat exchange between adjacent heat exchange mediums, thus optimizing the system's heat output performance. In addition, there is a gap between the array openings on the sides of the inner grid layer 4 and the outer grid layer 5 of the module. Circuits can be printed on the grid surface according to actual conditions, and the card core 1 can be connected to a designated potential application point through this circuit. Alternatively, other passive components can be arranged in non-perforated positions on the sides of the inner grid layer 4 and the outer grid layer 5 of the module as required, and configured together with the card core 1 into the entire circuit.
[0047] In some embodiments, the card core 1 includes at least one of a multilayer ceramic capacitor, a ceramic sheet, an organic dielectric, and an organic-inorganic composite dielectric. The card core 1 includes a material with an electrocarding effect, and optionally, the material needs to have a certain electrocarding adiabatic temperature change at room temperature, such as greater than 0.5K.
[0048] This application embodiment also provides a temperature control device applied to a display screen 17. The temperature control device includes the aforementioned card module 10 and a temperature control component. The temperature control component is connected to the card module 10, and the card module 10 transfers cold or heat to the display screen 17 through the temperature control component.
[0049] According to the temperature control device in this embodiment, the electric card core 1 generates temperature changes based on the electric card effect. When an electric field is applied, the electric card core 1 undergoes a reversible adiabatic temperature change, releasing heat through the orderly arrangement of dipoles within the material. After the electric field is removed, the dipoles become disordered and absorb heat, forming cold energy. Thus, the electric card module 10 can freely switch between cooling and heating functions to cool or heat the display screen 17. This design fundamentally solves the problem that traditional display screen temperature control technology can only cool and cannot provide heating capabilities in low-temperature environments. It enables the display screen to quickly recover its operating temperature in extremely cold environments, avoiding display abnormalities caused by slow screen response, liquid crystal viscosity, or OLED pixel aging, and significantly improving the usability and lifespan of the display screen in extreme climates.
[0050] Specifically, when the ambient temperature is low and the display screen 17 temperature is below a set threshold, an electric field is applied to the power card module 10 to raise its temperature and release heat. The heat exchange medium flows through the power card core 1, absorbs the heat, and then delivers it to the surface of the display screen 17, actively heating the screen and allowing it to quickly return to its normal operating temperature. This avoids response lag, color distortion, or pixel failure caused by low temperatures. When the temperature is too high, the electric field is removed from the power card module 10, which absorbs heat and generates cooling. The heat exchange medium flows through the power card module 10, absorbs the cooling, and then cools the screen, preventing brightness decay or screen burn-in caused by overheating. This bidirectional temperature control mechanism requires no additional heating elements and achieves full-temperature adaptability simply by switching the direction of the medium flow. It completely solves the problem that traditional technologies can only cool and cannot cope with cold environments, significantly improving the usability and lifespan of the display screen 17 in frigid regions.
[0051] Optionally, the temperature control component forms a closed loop with the power card module 10 via the flexible conduit 7 and is directly attached to the back of the display screen 17 to minimize the heat flow path. The power card module 10 can be a regular hexagonal prism to facilitate matching and installation with the back panel of the display screen 17, simplifying the overall layout and improving the integration of the appearance.
[0052] In some embodiments, the temperature control component includes a temperature control housing 6 disposed on the back of the display screen 17, the temperature control housing 6 containing a heat exchange medium, and the temperature control housing 6 communicating with the card module 10 via a conduit 7; or, the temperature control component includes a temperature control housing 6 disposed on the back of the display screen 17, the temperature control housing 6 containing a heat exchange medium, the temperature control housing 6 communicating with the card module 10 via a conduit 7, and the temperature control housing 6 including a heat-conducting layer 8 for conducting cold or heat.
[0053] Specifically, the temperature control housing 6 contains a heat exchange medium within its inner cavity, and the electronic card module 10 is connected to it via a conduit 7. The temperature control housing 6 is positioned on the back of the display screen 17 to enhance heat exchange with it, or it can be connected to the electronic card module 10 via a heat-conducting layer 8 to achieve cooling or heating of the display screen 17. Additionally, the temperature control component may include the temperature control housing 6 and the heat-conducting layer 8. The heat-conducting layer 8 is positioned within the inner cavity of the temperature control housing 6, laid flat beneath it, ensuring a large heat-conducting area. This allows it to absorb or release latent heat during temperature fluctuations, buffering instantaneous thermal shocks and maintaining a uniform surface temperature of the display screen 17, preventing uneven display due to localized overheating or undercooling.
[0054] Optionally, the thermally conductive layer 8 is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as thermally conductive silicone material, which can be replaced by a thermally conductive film such as graphene film. The liquid heat exchange medium inside the temperature control housing 6 has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity and good insulation, such as silicone oil and deionized water.
[0055] Furthermore, the temperature control housing 6 is a cubic structure with an internal cavity, or it can be replaced by a row of conductive tubes. The contact surface between the conductive tubes and the display screen 17 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity.
[0056] In some embodiments, the temperature control housing 6 further includes a liquid storage plate 9 and a first liquid storage tank 11; the liquid storage plate 9 is disposed between the heat-conducting layer 8 and the first liquid storage tank 11, and the heat-conducting layer 8 is disposed between the display screen 17 and the liquid storage plate 9. Both the liquid storage plate 9 and the first liquid storage tank 11 are used to accommodate the volume fluctuation of the heat exchange medium caused by temperature changes. The liquid storage plate 9 can increase the heat exchange area with the heat-conducting layer 8 and improve the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, a first liquid storage end is provided above the heat-conducting layer 8, which simplifies the overall structure and optimizes the space arrangement.
[0057] Optionally, the liquid storage plate 9 is made of a material with good thermal insulation properties, such as polyurethane. The first liquid storage tank 11 is made of a softer material, such as PET, to facilitate the adjustment of the liquid flow direction during operation.
[0058] In some embodiments, the temperature control device further includes a module housing 12, with the card module 10 disposed inside the module housing 12; or, the temperature control device further includes a module housing 12 and an insulation sleeve, with the card module 10 disposed inside the insulation sleeve and the module housing 12 disposed outside the insulation sleeve.
[0059] Specifically, the inner cavity of the module housing 12 is equipped with an insulating sleeve, and the electrical card module 10 is placed in the center of the insulating sleeve. During operation, the liquid heat exchange medium fills the entire interior of the insulating sleeve and flows for heat exchange within the gaps of the electrical card module. The electrical card module 10 is encapsulated in the insulating sleeve, which effectively blocks the loss of heat or cold, ensures that the temperature difference remains stable when switching between heating and cooling modes, improves temperature control efficiency, and prevents the surface temperature of the housing from becoming too high and affecting surrounding components.
[0060] Optionally, the shape of the module housing 12 and the insulation sheath can be a cuboid or a prism.
[0061] In some embodiments, the temperature control device further includes a temperature sensor 14 for detecting the temperature of the display screen 17; and / or, it further includes a second liquid storage tank 13 for storing the heat exchange medium.
[0062] Specifically, the temperature sensor 14 can be directly mounted on a key area of the back panel of the display screen 17 to collect temperature signals in real time, which is beneficial for timely feedback of the operating temperature. Based on the threshold set by the temperature sensor 14, the heating or cooling intensity can be dynamically adjusted to realize the automatic temperature control function of the display screen 17; at the same time, the system operating parameters can be dynamically adjusted and optimized to reduce operating energy consumption. The second liquid storage tank 13, as an expansion compensation unit, can be connected to the first liquid storage tank 11 to accommodate the volume fluctuation of the medium caused by temperature changes, prevent abnormal system pressure, and ensure long-term safe operation.
[0063] In some embodiments, the temperature control device further includes a heat dissipation component 15 for dissipating the heat generated by the card core 1; the heat dissipation component 15 includes at least one of heat dissipation fins and a fan.
[0064] Specifically, the heat dissipation component 15 is installed on the hot end outlet side of the temperature control device to dissipate the heat generated by the card core 1, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. The heat dissipation component 15 can be at least one of heat dissipation fins and a fan, or it can be composed of heat dissipation fins and a low-noise fan, forming an efficient heat dissipation path from the hot end to the environment, quickly dissipating waste heat, avoiding heat accumulation, and improving the overall thermal management efficiency of the system. Optionally, the heat dissipation fins are set on the outside of the second liquid storage tank 13, which reduces the overall size of the temperature control device through integration, making it easier to arrange and install.
[0065] In some embodiments, the temperature control device further includes a flow control element 16 for adjusting the flow direction of the heat exchange medium, the flow control element 16 including, but not limited to, a movable valve or a bidirectional pump body.
[0066] Specifically, when the display screen 17 switches between heating and cooling modes, the flow control component 16 can control the flow direction of the medium, enabling bidirectional operation of a single electric card module 10. The temperature control device is a regenerative electric card structure or a heat storage electric card structure. The cooling / heating principle of the heat storage or regenerative electric card is mainly as follows: When the electric card core 1 is powered on, the temperature of the entire core module rises, and the flow control component 16 pushes the liquid heat exchange medium towards the hot end of the temperature control device; when the power is off, the temperature of the core module drops, and the flow control component 16 pushes the liquid medium towards the cold end of the temperature control device. By drawing in and out the liquid heat exchange medium, a temperature difference is created and maintained between the cold and hot ends of the temperature control device, thereby achieving cooling and heating of the display screen 17.
[0067] Optionally, the movable valve can adjust the flow direction of the liquid medium by pushing and pulling its lever. The movable valve can be configured as a unidirectional translational piston structure, or it can be replaced with other mechanical structures that support vertical movement, such as injection pumps, peristaltic pumps, screw pumps, hydraulic pumps, gear pumps, etc., depending on the configuration. It is controlled by an electrical signal.
[0068] In some optional embodiments, a temperature-controlled housing 6 with adjustable temperature is placed behind the display screen 17. The temperature-controlled housing 6 consists of a liquid storage plate 9, a heat-conducting layer 8, and a first liquid storage tank 11. The temperature control device also includes a module housing 12, an insulating sleeve, heat dissipation fins, a temperature sensor 14, a second liquid storage tank 13, and a movable valve. The module housing 12 is located outside the insulating sleeve, the heat dissipation fins are located outside the second liquid storage tank 13, the movable valve is located inside the second liquid storage tank 13, and the temperature sensor 14 is located on the back of the display screen 17. The temperature-controlled housing 6 is connected to the module housing 12 via three conduits 7. The electronic card module 10 is placed inside the insulating sleeve within the module housing 12, and the other end of the module housing 12 is connected to the second liquid storage tank 13 with heat dissipation fins. The second liquid storage tank 13 contains a movable valve, and the flow direction of the liquid medium can be adjusted by pushing and pulling the lever of the movable valve. Temperature sensor 14 can detect the temperature of display screen 17 in real time. When the temperature of display screen 17 is higher than a certain threshold, the cooling mode is turned on. When the temperature of display screen 17 is lower than a certain threshold, the heating mode is turned on.
[0069] Specifically, in the heating mode of the display screen 17: an electric field is applied to the card module 10, causing it to heat up instantly. This heat is transferred to the liquid heat exchange medium in the module housing 12, causing the liquid heat exchange medium to heat up. The flow control component 16 pushes the liquid heat exchange medium through the conduit 7 on the left side of the module housing 12 towards the liquid storage plate 9 in the temperature control housing 6. Excess liquid heat exchange medium is stored in the first liquid storage tank 11, and heat is transferred to the display screen 17 through the heat-conducting layer 8. The first liquid storage tank 11 then becomes the hot end, and the card module 10 in the module housing 12 returns to room temperature. When the electric field is removed, the card module 10 cools down instantly, absorbing the heat from the liquid medium in the module shell 12. As the liquid medium cools down, the flow control device 16 pushes the liquid to the second storage tank 13 on the right. The low-temperature liquid exchanges heat with the environment through the heat dissipation fins. The second storage tank 13 is the cold end. At this time, the liquid temperature in the display device has formed a gradient distribution, with the first storage tank 11 being the high-temperature end and the second storage tank 13 being the low-temperature end. By repeating the above steps of applying and removing the electric field, the temperature difference between the left and right ends of the display device can be amplified, thus achieving the heating effect of the display screen 17.
[0070] Cooling mode of display screen 17: When an electric field is applied to the card module 10, the card module 10 heats up instantly. The heat is transferred to the liquid heat exchange medium in the module housing 12, causing the liquid heat exchange medium to heat up. The flow control component 16 pushes the liquid to the second liquid storage tank 13 on the right. The high-temperature liquid transfers heat to the heat dissipation fins, and the card module 10 in the module housing 12 returns to room temperature. When the electric field is removed, the card module 10 cools down instantly, absorbing the heat from the liquid medium in the module housing 12. The liquid medium cools down, and the flow control component 16 pushes the liquid... The liquid heat exchange medium is pushed through the conduit 7 on the left side of the module housing 12 to the liquid storage plate 9 in the temperature control housing 6. Excess liquid heat exchange medium will be stored in the first liquid storage tank 11 and the cooling capacity will be transferred to the display screen 17 through the heat conduction layer 8. At this time, the liquid temperature in the display device has been distributed in a gradient. The second liquid storage tank 13 is the high temperature end and the first liquid storage tank 11 is the low temperature end. By repeating the above steps of applying and removing the electric field, the temperature difference between the left and right ends of the display device can be amplified, and the cooling effect of the display screen 17 can be achieved.
[0071] Optionally, the positions of the cold and hot ends of the temperature control device can be reversed by adjusting the direction of the heat exchange medium flow or the sequence of power-on and power-off of the electric card module 10. Specifically, when an electric field is applied to the electric card module 10, the module heats up, and the liquid is pushed to the left, making the left end the hot end; if the liquid is pushed to the right, the right end is the hot end. When the electric field is disconnected from the electric card module 10, the module cools down, and the liquid is pushed to the left, making the left end the cold end; if the liquid is pushed to the right, the right end is the cold end. Thus, the positions of the cold and hot ends can be changed by adjusting the direction of the liquid flow. Furthermore, this design results in a greater distance between the cold and hot ends of the temperature control device, improving heat dissipation efficiency and optimizing space arrangement.
[0072] This application embodiment also provides an in-vehicle display device, which includes a display screen 17 and the aforementioned temperature control device, wherein the display screen 17 is temperature-regulated by the temperature control device.
[0073] Specifically, in low-temperature environments, the temperature control device activates the heating mode, allowing the screen to quickly return to a suitable operating temperature, eliminating display delays, color distortion, or touch malfunctions caused by cold. In high-temperature environments, the temperature control device switches to cooling mode to suppress screen overheating, prevent brightness decay and permanent pixel damage, achieve high-precision control, reduce overall energy consumption, and improve display quality and user experience. Furthermore, the power card module 10 is small in size, making it easy to hide within the support structure of the display screen 17 without affecting aesthetics. The power card cooling core can be connected to a liquid cooling circuit, eliminating the need for an additional water tank, thus achieving miniaturization and weight reduction of the device structure.
[0074] This application also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned electronic card module 10, temperature control device or vehicle display device.
[0075] The vehicle is equipped with multiple displays 17, including a central control screen, an instrument panel, and a passenger entertainment screen. All displays 17 utilize the temperature control device described in this patent, sharing a central control unit and a heat exchange medium circulation system. The electrical card module 10 is distributed on the back of each screen, achieving coordinated temperature control through a shared liquid storage tank and flow control component 16. This technical solution significantly reduces the energy consumption of the vehicle's thermal management system, improves driving range, and meets stringent automotive-grade reliability requirements, providing an efficient, reliable, and lightweight temperature control solution for the intelligent cockpit.
