Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a heat dissipation member for an electric device. [Background technology]

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the widespread use of electronic devices, the working efficiency of electronic devices has become one of the main requirements pursued by related manufacturers and users. The heat dissipation effect during the operation of the electronic devices is also emphasized, and heat dissipation fins made of heat dissipation metal with good thermal conductivity are often seen in the electronic devices.

[0003] The heat sink fins are generally made by extrusion molding, which involves extruding heat sink metal at high temperature and shaping the heat sink metal to fit the cavity of a mold. However, this method is limited to heat sink metals (such as aluminum metal) that are easy to mold, and copper metal and copper alloys, which are often used to manufacture electronic components and precision micro molded components, are not suitable for manufacturing using this method due to their difficult-to-process material properties.

[0004] When making heat sink fins from copper metal material, the die casting method is required, in which the heat sink metal is heated and melted, poured into a mold, and cooled to form the shape. However, this method is not only time-consuming but also consumes a lot of energy. Alternatively, the forging method is used, but when the heat sink component of the fin is formed by the forging method, unevenness in the height of the fin is likely to occur due to uneven plastic flow, and subsequent finishing of the external dimensions of the product is required by more machining. Therefore, the development of heat sink fins made of copper metal or copper alloy is a development goal for related industries. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] Furthermore, the maximum distance that the pressurizing rotary shaft is inserted into the central portion is smaller than the length of the central portion.

[0024] 1 and 3, a preferred embodiment of a heat dissipation member 10 provided by the present invention includes a substrate 11, a center pillar 12, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 13. The substrate 11 is a plate material, the center pillar 12 is a hollow columnar shape, and the center pillar 12 extends and protrudes from one side of the substrate 11, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 13 are disposed to radially surround the center pillar 12 and extend outward from the center pillar 12, and each of the heat dissipation fins 13 extends in a sheet shape from a free end of the center pillar 12 toward the substrate 11.

[0025] Next, referring to Figures 2, 3 and 5, the substrate 11, the center pillar 12 and the multiple heat dissipation fins 13 are formed by mixing copper material particles 21 and aluminum material particles 22 and then molding them in a mold 30, and a mold cavity 31 is configured within the mold 30, and the mold cavity 31 forms a mold opening 32 on one side of the mold 30, and the mold cavity 31 is molded to correspond to the heat dissipation member 10, and the inside of the mold cavity 31 includes, in order toward the mold opening 32, a substrate portion 311, a central portion 312 and multiple fin portions 313.

[0026] Here, the so-called "copper material" in the present invention refers to the copper material in which the metallic element contained most abundantly is copper. Preferably, the copper material particles are pure copper with a copper content of 90% or more. The so-called "aluminum material" in the present invention refers to the aluminum material in which the metallic element contained most abundantly is aluminum. The so-called "particle" in the present invention refers to a particle having a maximum equivalent spherical diameter of less than 10 mm, and the particle may be sheet-shaped, needle-shaped, strip-shaped, spherical, or any irregular shape.

[0027] The aluminum material particles 22 may comprise recycled aluminum material, and the copper material particles 21 may also comprise recycled copper material.

[0028] Here, the so-called "particles" in the present invention refer to particles having a maximum equivalent spherical diameter of 10 mm or less, and said particles may be in the form of sheet pieces, needles, strips, spheres or any irregular shape.

[0029] Here, in the central portion 312, a long groove communicates between the base portion 311 and the mold opening 32, the maximum hole diameter formed in the base portion 311 is larger than the maximum hole diameter formed in the central portion 312, and the extension range of the base portion 311 covers the extension range of the central portion 312. A plurality of fin portions 313 are disposed so as to radially surround the central portion, and are formed by being recessed in the radial direction so as to surround the groove wall in the groove of the central portion 312.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 3, a thickness distance H formed at the central portion 312 of each of the fin portions 313 becomes thinner toward the ends of the fin portions 313, and the cross section of the fin portions 313 has a triangular structure, which contributes to the molding quality during the subsequent manufacturing of the heat dissipation member 10.

[0031] 4 to 6, the first preferred embodiment of the present invention for manufacturing the heat dissipation member 10 includes the following steps. Step 1: Prepare the mold 30, and place the substrate 11 in the substrate portion 311 of the mold cavity 31. At this time, the substrate 11 is the plate material that has been manufactured, and the substrate 11 fills the substrate portion 311 after being placed.

[0032] Here, the material of at least a part of the substrate 11 is the same as the material of at least a part of the center pillar 12, and may be copper metal or aluminum metal. Alternatively, the material of at least a part of the substrate 11 is the copper material particles 21, and is formed by the aluminum material particles 22 or a mixture of the materials. In this embodiment, the substrate 11 is formed of the copper metal.

[0033] Step 2: After the copper material particles 21 and the aluminum material particles 22 are uniformly mixed, mixed particles A are formed and placed in the mold cavity 31. Here, the ratio of the copper material particles 21 and the aluminum material particles 22 is not limited and can be adjusted according to the needs of the use environment, structural form, etc. of the heat dissipation member 10. When the ratio of the copper material particles 21 is large, the heat dissipation member 10 can have good heat absorption properties and heat resistance properties, exhibit anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance characteristics, and extend the service life. When the ratio of the aluminum material particles 22 is large, the heat dissipation member 10 can have the effects of rapid heat dissipation, weight reduction, and cost reduction.

[0034] Preferably, the mixed particles A may be placed in the mold cavity 31 through the mold opening 32. The mold 30 may be provided with a supply port communicating with the mold cavity 31.

[0035] Step 3: The mixed particles A are solid-phase bonded. The pressurizing rotary shaft 40 is inserted into the mold cavity 31 through the mold opening 32, and the pressurizing rotary shaft 40 is rotated about its axis while moving in the axial direction at the central portion 312. When the pressurizing rotary shaft 40 rotates while moving in the axial direction at the central portion 312, the mixed particles A are pushed and moved to the gaps between the central portions 312 of the pressurizing rotary shaft 40 and to each of the fin portions 313 due to the high friction and extrusion force of the pressurizing rotary shaft 40.

[0036] In addition, the mixed particles A are displaced due to high friction and extrusion force, completely filling each fin portion 313, and when the crystal lattice structure of the aluminum material particles 22 and the copper material particles 21 is also damaged by the friction or extrusion force, causing crystal lattice spacing or crystal lattice defects, the aluminum material particles 22 and the copper material particles 21 have their crystal lattice gaps or crystal lattice defects filled and diffused into each other, and some of the aluminum material particles 22 and the copper material particles 21 are compressed and bonded into a solid material due to a change in the crystal lattice structure, thereby obtaining a solid-state bonding effect.

[0037] Step 4: The heat dissipation member 10 is formed by demolding, as shown in Fig. 6. After the mold 30 is removed, the mixed particles A are filled into the area of ​​the fin portion 313 and solid-state bonded to form the heat dissipation fin 13, and the mixed particles A remaining in the gap between the pressurizing rotation shaft 40 and the central portion 312 are solid-state bonded to form the center pillar 12.

[0038] In addition, the pressurized rotating shaft 40 is displaced axially within the mold cavity 31, thereby providing the above-mentioned solid-state bonding effect between the mixed particles A and the substrate 11, and forming a bonding surface B between the center pillar 12 and the substrate 11.

[0039] Furthermore, the maximum distance between the pressurizing rotation shaft 40 and the central portion 312 is smaller than the length of the central portion 312, so that more of the mixed particles A can be left to perform the solid-state bonding step with the substrate 11, and a bonding surface B with a larger area can be formed between the mixed particles A and the substrate 11.

[0040] In addition, when the thickness distance H of each fin portion 313 becomes thinner toward the end of the fin portion 313, in addition to making it easier to fill the mixed particles A (from larger spaces to smaller spaces), when the mixed particles A are filled at the end of the fin portion 313, the gradually shrinking space at the end of the fin portion 313 can also provide resistance to the mixed particles A, which is advantageous for the material strength after molding of the heat dissipation fins 13 of the heat dissipation member 10.

[0041] 5 and 7, in a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mold 30 is different from the above in that a fin portion 313 extends along the length of the central portion 312 and communicates with the base portion 311, a fin portion opening 314 is formed on the side of the mold, and the fin portion opening 314 communicates with the mold opening 32.

[0042] Furthermore, in a second preferred embodiment for manufacturing the heat dissipation member 10, what differs from the above is that in step 1, after the substrate 11 is placed in the substrate portion 311 of the mold cavity 31, a plurality of the heat dissipation fins 13 are further inserted into the fin portion openings 314.

[0043] The substrate 11 and each of the plurality of heat dissipation fins 13 are both made of completed plate material, and at least a portion of the material of the plurality of heat dissipation fins 13 is the same as at least a portion of the material of the center pillar 12, and may be formed from copper metal, aluminum metal, the copper material particles 21, the aluminum material particles 22, or a mixture of the above materials.

[0044] The subsequent manufacturing process of the heat dissipation member 10 in this embodiment has already been described above, and will not be described again. In step 3, the center pillar 12 is formed after the mixed particles A are solid-state bonded, and the bonding surface B is formed between each of the heat dissipation fins 13 and the substrate 11.

[0045] Preferably, a plurality of insertion grooves 111 are formed in the surface where the substrate 11 and the center pillar 12 are joined, corresponding to the positions of the heat dissipation fins 13, and when the heat dissipation fins 13 are inserted into the mold cavity 31 through the fin openings 314, one end of each of the heat dissipation fins 13 is simultaneously fitted into the corresponding insertion grooves 111. This contributes to stabilizing the structure of the heat dissipation member 10 after molding.

[0046] More preferably, when each of the heat dissipation fins 13 is inserted into the mold cavity 31 through the fin opening 314, at least a portion of each of the heat dissipation fins 13 protrudes to the central portion 312, and thus forms a larger bonding surface B after being solid-state bonded with the mixed particles A and each of the heat dissipation fins 13, and after the heat dissipation element 10 is formed, the uneven bonding structure between the center pillar 12 and each of the heat dissipation fins 13 also contributes to stabilizing the structure.

[0047] The manufacturing method of the heat dissipation member provided by the present invention only requires the axial movement of the pressurized rotary shaft 40 in the mold cavity 31 and the generation of high friction and extrusion force by pre-pressing, which generates plastic deformation in the aluminum material particles 22 and the copper material particles 21, reduces the interface bonding energy or crystal lattice defects, and fills and diffuses with each other to achieve the effect of forming the heat dissipation member 10 from different materials, overcoming the problem of the difficulty of processing and synthesizing copper and aluminum materials in the conventional process. In addition, the manufacturing method provided by the present invention has simple steps, reduces energy consumption, and the copper material particles 21 and the aluminum material particles 22 can also be selected from recycled materials, which can be reused and has an environmentally friendly effect.
