Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembled radar module for unmanned aerial vehicle detection having excellent cooling efficiency, wherein a plurality of cooling modules are mounted in layers, each having a plurality of transmitting and receiving modules mounted thereon, and the plurality of cooling modules cool and release heat generated from the mounted transmitting and receiving modules through a cooling plate equipped with a heat pipe, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area and cooling speed, reducing the variation in heat distribution among the plurality of transmitting and receiving modules so that it can be used effectively in high-temperature environments, enabling low-power operation with low noise, operation even under high ambient temperatures, and improving ease of maintenance through disassembly and assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, radar is a device that emits electromagnetic waves and receives the echoes of those waves reflected from the surface of a target object. It consists of a housing, a transmit / receive module, an antenna module, a cooling module, etc., and primarily uses parabolic antennas and phased array antennas.

[0003] Recently, there has been a significant increase in the need to simultaneously track multiple high-speed moving aircraft (e.g., drones). Since mechanical rotating dish antennas emit a narrow angle beam (approximately 2°) even when rotating 6 times or up to 12 times per minute, it is impossible to detect, identify, and track aircraft traveling at speeds exceeding three times the speed of sound. Consequently, the use of phased array antennas, which electronically control the phase from a fixed position to scan an electron beam, is increasing significantly.

[0004] Meanwhile, detection radars mounted on mobile aircraft require ease of transport, installation, removal, and vehicle mounting; accordingly, technology is being developed to ensure miniaturization, weight reduction, and the minimization of components.

[0005] The detection radar described above primarily utilizes air-cooled cooling modules to cool the transmit / receive module. However, this air-cooling method suffers from reduced cooling efficiency due to the significant influence of ambient temperature resulting from the limitation of drawing outside air into and passing it through the cooling plate. Additionally, it has the disadvantage of high power consumption because the structure, which cools a narrow and deep path solely through external air circulation, requires high static pressure and flow velocity for the cooling pack.

[0006] In addition, since the cooling plate rotates at high speed to maintain high static pressure and flow velocity, it not only generates significant noise but also shortens the lifespan of the cooling fan. Furthermore, there is a disadvantage in that there is a large variation in heat distribution between the Transmit / Receiver Modules (TRMs) on the intake and exhaust sides.

[0007] Accordingly, in order to solve the problems described above, there is a need to develop an assembled radar module for unmanned aerial vehicle detection that has excellent cooling efficiency, which can increase the heat dissipation area and cooling speed, reduce the thermal distribution deviation among multiple transmitting and receiving modules to enable effective use in high-temperature environments, enable low-power operation with low noise, operate even under high ambient temperatures, and improve ease of maintenance through disassembly and assembly.

It is positioned in one side space of the rear end of the main housing (110) and can be coupled to the front end of one side exhaust duct (520a) while being positioned at the rear end of the one side cooling fin block (210a).

[0041] This one-sided cooling fan (220a) can form an airflow that draws in external air from the housing (100), directs it to the one-sided cooling fin block (210a) through the one-sided intake duct (520a), and then exhausts it through the one-sided exhaust duct (530a) and the one-sided exhaust port (141a).

[0042] One side sealing block (230a) is provided so as to be spaced inward from the one side cooling fin block (210a) by a predetermined distance, and is a component that seals the inner and outer sides by being coupled to a mounting position on one side of the main housing (110). It is provided in the shape of a rectangular block so as to be spaced from the one side cooling fin block (210a) by a predetermined distance, and the one side heat pipe (250a) can be connected through it.

[0043] This one-sided sealing block (230a) can be inserted and mounted inwardly into a corresponding mounting hole among a plurality of mounting holes (111) provided on one side of the main housing (110), and can be stably and firmly coupled to one side of the main housing (110) through a coupling means (e.g., bolt, screw, etc.).

By releasing the heat transferred through this process via heat exchange with external air at the one-side cooling fin block (210a), the maximum heat dissipation area relative to the space can be secured, and a continuous cooling function can be effectively performed by forming an airflow through the one-side cooling fan (220a) which is driven by small, low power.

[0051] A one-sided cooling module (200a) including such one-sided heat pipe (250a) can maintain a continuous airflow through a one-sided cooling fin block (210a) and a one-sided cooling fan (220a), thereby providing excellent cooling efficiency.

For example, it can be manufactured by filling a refrigerant (e.g., water, ammonia, Freon, methanol, ethanol, etc.) into a metal pipe having a special internal shape made of a metal material such as copper.

[0063] One end of each other heat pipe (250b) may be arranged in a plurality of line shapes inside the other cooling fin block (210b), and the portion extending inward may be arranged in a line shape by penetrating the other sealing block (230b), and the other end may be arranged in a line shape in the other arrangement groove (241b) of the other cooling plate (240b).

[0064] As described above, the other side heat pipe (250b) directly absorbs heat from a plurality of transmitting and receiving modules (300), which are heating elements, at the other side cooling plate (240b) and transfers it to the refrigerant filled inside the other side heat pipe (250b) provided in the other side cooling plate (240b). By releasing the heat transferred through this process via heat exchange with external air at the other side cooling fin block (210b), the maximum heat dissipation area relative to the space can be secured, and a continuous cooling function can be effectively performed by forming an airflow through the other side cooling fan (220b) which is driven by small, low power.

[0065] The other side cooling module (200b) including the other side heat pipe (250b) can maintain a continuous airflow through the other side cooling fin block (210b) and the other side cooling fan (220b), thereby providing excellent cooling efficiency.
