Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of radiator technology, specifically relating to a side-mounted pipe water-cooled heat dissipation device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional water cooling radiators, the tubing connecting the radiator and the water block is usually installed on the front or back of the radiator, perpendicular to it. Sufficient space needs to be reserved during installation to accommodate these tubing, especially when the radiator needs to be installed at the front or top of the case. The tubing may interfere with other components or affect the airflow, which not only limits the installation position and method of the water cooling device, but also affects the heat dissipation effect. Moreover, the protruding tubing can also detract from the overall aesthetics of the case interior to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0003] (1) Technical problems to be solved This utility model provides a side-mounted pipe water cooling heat dissipation device, which aims to solve the problem that the pipes of the existing water cooling radiator are usually installed on the front or back of the water cooling radiator, resulting in large space occupation and affecting the aesthetics.

[0004] (2) Technical solution This utility model provides a side-mounted water-cooled heat dissipation device, including a water-cooling radiator and a water-cooling head. A first pipe and a second pipe are connected between the water-cooling radiator and the water-cooling head. Fasteners are provided on the side of the water-cooling radiator. The first pipe and the second pipe are fixed to the side of the water-cooling radiator by the fasteners, so that the pipes are distributed along the axial direction of the water-cooling radiator.

[0005] Furthermore, the fastener has an "M" shaped structure with two fixing positions for fixing the first pipe and the second pipe, respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing position is a fixing groove, and the first pipe and the second pipe are respectively locked in the two fixing grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, the opening of the fixing groove is positioned facing the side wall of the water cooling radiator.

[0008] Furthermore, the fastener is at least partially made of an elastic material.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking groove is provided between the two fixing positions, and a fixing hole is provided in the locking groove. The water cooling radiator is provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the fixing hole, and the fastener is screwed to the water cooling radiator through the fixing hole and the connecting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the water cooling radiator includes a first water tank, a second water tank, and several water pipes. One end of each water pipe is connected to the first water tank, and the other end is connected to the second water tank. Fins extending along the axial direction are respectively attached to both sides of each water pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the first water tank includes an upper water tank and a lower water tank that are interconnected. The upper water tank has an inlet on its side wall at one end, and the lower water tank has an outlet corresponding to the inlet. One end of the first pipe is connected to the inlet, and one end of the second pipe is connected to the outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper water tank and the lower water tank are provided with corresponding and connected drain outlets. The lower water tank is also provided with a partition plate, which divides the lower water tank into two independent spaces. One space is connected to the upper water tank through the drain outlet, and the other space is connected to the outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the water cooling head includes a base plate and a cover plate, and a cavity for containing coolant is formed between the cover plate and the base plate. The cavity is connected to the other end of the first pipe and the second pipe, respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By using fasteners, both the first and second pipes are fixed to the side wall of the radiator, changing the traditional layout where pipes extend from the front or back of the radiator. This makes the entire water cooling device more "flat" in the thickness direction, saving installation space, hiding the pipes, increasing the overall aesthetics of the cooling device, and reducing the obstruction of the pipes to the fan airflow, thus improving the cooling effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a side-mounted water-cooling device, including a water-cooling radiator 1 and a water-cooling head 2. A first pipe 3 and a second pipe 4 connect the water-cooling radiator 1 and the water-cooling head 2. Fasteners 5 are provided on the side of the water-cooling radiator 1. The first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 are fixed to the side of the water-cooling radiator 1 by the fasteners 5, so that the pipes are distributed along the axial direction of the water-cooling radiator 1. This makes the entire water-cooling radiator 1 more "flat" in the thickness direction, making it easier to install in a case with limited space, especially in cases with limited front panel space but ample side space, thus saving more space. Moreover, compared with traditional water-cooling radiators, where the pipes connecting the water-cooling radiator 1 and the water-cooling head 2 usually extend from the front or back of the water-cooling radiator 1, this utility model places the pipes on the side of the water-cooling radiator 1, which not only reduces the obstruction of the airflow of the cooling fan, helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, optimizes the airflow, but also makes the pipe path more direct, cleaner, more convenient and aesthetically pleasing, improving installation flexibility and providing a new layout idea for case design and system assembly.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the fastener 5 has an overall "M" shaped structure and is integrally molded, which facilitates processing and assembly. The fastener 5 is provided with two fixing positions 51, and the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 are respectively located in the two fixing positions 51. The size of the two fixing positions 51 is adapted to the outer diameter of the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4, ensuring that the pipes can be placed stably in them without shaking or displacement. Moreover, the two fixing positions 51 are symmetrical about the axis. When the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 are placed in them, they are parallel to each other in the axial direction and coincide with each other in the radial direction, which not only enhances the stability of pipe fixing, but also makes the overall structure more compact.

[0027] In this embodiment, two fasteners 5 are provided, which further ensures the uniformity and stability of the distribution of the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 on the side of the water cooling radiator 1, effectively dispersing the stress on the pipes and preventing pipe damage or loosening of the fasteners 5 due to excessive local stress. In some other embodiments, the number of fasteners 5 may be one or more, which is not limited here.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing position 51 is a fixing groove, and the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 are respectively locked in the two fixing grooves. The openings of the two fixing grooves are set facing the side wall of the water cooling radiator 1, so that the side wall of the water cooling radiator 1 surrounds the opening of the fixing groove, which enhances the stability of the fixing and prevents the pipes from moving out of the groove due to external force during use, so as to prevent shaking or displacement.

[0029] Furthermore, the fastener 5 is at least partially made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone. This material allows the fastener 5 to have a certain degree of elastic deformation during installation and disassembly, which can buffer and dampen the pipe when it is subjected to external forces, reducing noise caused by pipe vibration. It also better adapts to pipes of different sizes and shapes, improving the compatibility and reliability of pipe fixing. Moreover, the elastic material of the fastener 5 makes pipe installation and disassembly more convenient. A slight deformation of the fastener 5 with strong force is enough to remove or insert the pipe from the slot without having to remove the entire fastener 5, greatly improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly.

[0030] Furthermore, a locking groove 52 is provided between the two fixing positions 51, and a fixing hole 521 is provided in the locking groove 52. The water-cooling radiator 1 is provided with a connecting hole 15 corresponding to the fixing hole 521. The fastener 5 is screwed to the water-cooling radiator 1 through the fixing hole 521 and the connecting hole 15. The screwing method makes the connection between the fastener 5 and the water-cooling radiator 1 more secure and less prone to loosening, and also facilitates disassembly and installation, greatly improving the convenience of operation. It should be noted that the groove opening of the locking groove 52 is set opposite to the direction of the water-cooling radiator 1, that is, opposite to the groove opening of the fixing position 51. This facilitates the screws to be inserted into the locking groove 52 for operation when the locking component and the water-cooling radiator 1 are installed and disassembled, avoiding the inconvenience of operation caused by the narrow space.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material hardness of the locking groove 52 of the fastener 5 is greater than the material hardness of the two fixing positions 51. This ensures the stability of the screw connection between the locking groove 52 and the water cooling radiator 1, while also giving the fixing position 51 a certain degree of elasticity. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pipe and ensures the stable fixation of the pipe.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water-cooled radiator 1 includes a first water tank 11, a second water tank 12, and several water pipes 13. One end of each water pipe 13 is connected to the first water tank 11, and the other end is connected to the second water tank 12. In this embodiment, the water pipes 13 are flat pipes arranged parallel to each other. Fins 14 extending axially are respectively attached to both sides of each water pipe 13. The fins 14 allow heat to be conducted to the fins 14 as the heat-absorbing liquid flows through the water pipes 13. The fins 14 then dissipate the heat through contact with the surrounding air, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, the flat pipe design increases the contact area between the liquid and the fins 14, making heat transfer more efficient. In this embodiment, both the water pipes 13 and the fins 14 are made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, further improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the first water tank 11 includes an upper water tank 111 and a lower water tank 112 that are interconnected. The upper water tank 111 has an inlet 1111 on its side wall, and the lower water tank 112 has an outlet 1121 corresponding to the inlet 1111. One end of the first pipe 3 is connected to the inlet 1111, and one end of the second pipe 4 is connected to the outlet 1121, thus connecting the pipes to the water cooling radiator 1. The inlet 1111 and outlet 1121 are both located on the side wall of the water tank, corresponding to the direction of the pipe routing, making the pipe connection smoother, reducing unnecessary bends, and helping to reduce resistance during liquid flow, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, this structure makes the entire water cooling device more aesthetically pleasing and meets the requirements of modern computer cases for internal layout and aesthetics.

[0034] Specifically, the upper water tank 111 and the lower water tank 112 are provided with corresponding and connected drain outlets 113. The lower water tank 112 is also provided with a partition plate 114, which divides the lower water tank 112 into two independent spaces. One space is connected to the upper water tank 111 through the drain outlet 113, and the other space is directly connected to the outlet 1121. This makes the flow path of the liquid in the water cooling radiator 1 more reasonable, and can more fully exchange heat with the fins 14, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0035] Preferably, in order to optimize the heat dissipation effect, a plurality of cooling fans 6 are provided on the end face of the water cooling radiator 1. The number of cooling fans 6 can be set according to the actual heat dissipation requirements. In this embodiment, there are three cooling fans 6, which are arranged axially on the end face of the water cooling radiator 1. The cooling fans 6 are fixed to the water cooling radiator 1 by screws, and the fan blades of the cooling fans 6 are facing the fins 14. When the cooling fans 6 work, they can generate a strong airflow, accelerate the flow of air around the fins 14, and enable the heat on the fins 14 to be dissipated to the surrounding environment more quickly, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the entire water cooling heat dissipation device.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 6-7As shown, the water-cooling head 2 includes a base plate 21 and a cover plate 22. The base plate 21 is used to fit tightly against a heat source (such as a CPU or GPU) to absorb the heat generated by the heat source. The cover plate 22 is connected to the base plate 21, and a cavity 23 for containing coolant is formed between the two. The cavity 23 is connected to the other end of the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4 respectively, so that the coolant can circulate between the water-cooling head 2, the first pipe 3, the water-cooling radiator 1 and the second pipe 4 to realize the transfer and dissipation of heat. The water-cooling head 2 is also equipped with a water pump 24, which is used to drive the coolant to flow continuously in the circulation system, ensuring that heat can be transferred to the water-cooling radiator 1 and dissipated in time. The liquid cooled by the water-cooling radiator 1 is recycled back to the cavity 23 to absorb heat, thereby forming a continuous and efficient heat dissipation cycle.

[0037] In this embodiment, the base plate 21 is made of a metal material with excellent thermal conductivity, such as copper, which can quickly and effectively conduct heat generated by the heat source to the coolant in the cavity 23. A sealing ring 25 is provided between the cover plate 22 and the base plate 21, ensuring a sealed connection and preventing coolant leakage from the cavity 23. Furthermore, the cover plate 22 is provided with an outlet connector 221 and an inlet connector 222 adapted to the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 4, facilitating pipe connection and installation.

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, during use, the liquid that has absorbed heat is discharged from the outlet connector 221 of the water cooling head 2 under the action of the water pump 24, and flows into the upper water tank 111 of the water cooling radiator 1 through the first pipe 3, and then enters the lower water tank 112 from the outlet 113. Next, the liquid flows sequentially through part of the water pipe 13 into the second water tank 12, and then flows from the other side of the second water tank 12 through the remaining water pipe 13 into another space of the lower water tank 112. Then, it flows into the second pipe 4 through the outlet 1121 of the lower water tank 112. During this process, the liquid that has absorbed heat will be continuously cooled, and finally the cooled liquid flows into the cavity 23 of the water cooling head 2 through the inlet connector 222 of the water cooling head 2 to continue to absorb the heat transferred from the base plate 21, so as to achieve a continuous and efficient heat dissipation cycle.

[0039] The innovation of this utility model lies in the fact that by setting fasteners, both the first and second pipes are fixed to the side wall of the water cooling radiator. This changes the traditional layout where pipes extend from the front or back of the water cooling radiator, making the entire water cooling device more "flat" in the thickness direction. This not only saves installation space but also hides the pipes, increasing the overall aesthetics of the cooling device. At the same time, it reduces the obstruction of the pipes to the fan airflow and improves the heat dissipation effect.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
