Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to a heat dissipation device, and to a water-cooled heat sink for electronic / computer products that utilizes the siphon principle and pressure difference to allow a coolant in which the flow passages and heat-generating components are immersed to evaporate when absorbing heat and then liquefy as it dissipates heat, eliminating the need for an energy-consuming pump to circulate the liquid. [Background technology]
[0002] In the case of heat sinks for traditional electronic / computer products or Internet or surveillance systems or warehouse management or inventory management in the general market, the motherboard mainly has high-performance CPU and GPU parts installed on an aluminum extrusion, and multiple fins are installed on the upper and side of the aluminum extrusion. The heat source of the high-performance CPU and GPU parts is transferred to the fins with an increased heat dissipation area, and is exposed to the air through the fins, so that the heat source of the fins is absorbed by the air. The fins dissipate heat statically, so the heat dissipation effect is not good. In order to quickly dissipate the heat source of the fins into the air, a powerful fan is installed on the fins of the aluminum extrusion, strong wind is blown to the fins, and additional fins are installed on the outer circumference of the aluminum, which increases the cost of the heat sink and consumes more energy. The aluminum extrusion with fins is installed on the top and its periphery, and the fan is installed on the top, so the use of these components increases the cost and increases the occurrence of fan failure. Conventional products use aluminum extrusion fittings to contact high-performance CPUs and GPUs to conduct heat, but the effect is low and their practicality is greatly reduced. This is an area that industry players and consumers are trying to overcome as much as possible. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical shortcomings, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a water-cooled heat sink for electronic / computer products, which includes a cover, a conduit, and a cooler, and the cover includes a cold plate and a cooling rack installed on both sides of the cold plate. A flow path and a number of heat-generating components communicating with the flow path are installed within the cold plate. The cold plate is provided with an outlet and an inlet communicating with the flow path, and a conduit is installed at the top end. A cooler communicating with the conduit is installed at the top end of the conduit, thereby overcoming the difficulties in the existing technology.
[0004] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a water-cooled heat sink for electronic / computer products. When a heat-generating component is heated, the low-temperature liquid refrigerant in the flow passage will absorb the heat and vaporize, then rise through a conduit to the cooler, where it will be cooled and turned into liquid, and by utilizing the siphon principle and the generation of pressure difference, it will descend through the opposing conduit into the flow passage of the cold plate and circulate, absorbing the heat source of the heat-generating component.
[0005] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a water-cooled heat sink for electronic / computer products, which can effectively improve the convenience of use, eliminate the need for energy-consuming fans, and achieve rapid heat dissipation and cost reduction.

When fins or a powerful fan are installed on the top of the aluminum extrusion, the cost of the cooler and the cost of using this component increase, more energy is consumed, and the fan is easily broken, which greatly reduces its practicality.

By utilizing the siphon principle and the generation of a pressure difference, the refrigerant descends through the opposing conduit to generate a circulation and enters the flow passage of the cold plate.
