Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. The "and / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more.

[0048] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0049] When using the terms "comprising," "having," and "including" as described in this application, another component may be added unless explicitly qualifying terms such as "only," "consisting of," etc. are used. Unless otherwise stated, singular terms may include plural forms and should not be construed as having only one quantity.

[0050] In the present application, orientation terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are used to describe the relative positional relationship of components, usually based on the normal use direction or installation reference system of the device. For example, "upper" means the part at the top of the device or the higher part, "lower" means the part at the bottom of the device or the lower part, "left" means the part on the left side of the device compared to the center line, and "right" means the part on the right side of the device compared to the center line. However, during use, the device may be flipped, rotated, or otherwise changed in position, in which case the orientation terms should be understood as the direct spatial positional relationship with respect to other components rather than a fixed direction. Those skilled in the art can appropriately understand these terms according to the use environment.

In some embodiments, "connection" can be a movable connection, such as in a hinge structure that allows relative movement between two components; or a fixed connection, such as a non-separable connection between two components achieved by welding, bonding, or threaded combination. It can be understood that "intermediate element" refers to a structure between two components, which can be used to change the connection characteristics, optimize force distribution, or achieve specific functional purposes. The intermediate element can include, but is not limited to, a shaft, a gasket, a support structure, or a transmission member. In some embodiments, the "intermediate element" can be an optional component, so that different components can be directly connected; while in other embodiments, the "intermediate element" is a key component to achieve functional requirements, such as isolation or transmission of electrical signals. In the present application, these terms can be appropriately understood by those skilled in the art according to the use environment without specific explanation.

[0052] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a related electronic device. Referring to FIG. 1, in the related electronic device (such as a switch), the arrangement direction of the switch chip 10 and the optical module 20 is the same as the air duct direction B of the fan 30, and the optical module 20 and the switch chip 10 are arranged on the surface of the PCB 40 along the air duct direction, that is, the optical module 20 and the switch chip 10 are arranged in series along the air duct direction. Along the fluid flow direction, the structure in the front (the optical module 20 or the switch chip 10) will block the structure in the back, resulting in a lower heat dissipation efficiency of the related switch.

[0053] An electronic device is provided in the embodiments of the present application. FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a circuit board according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a circuit board according to another embodiment of the present application. FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a circuit board according to still another embodiment of the present application. Please refer to FIGS. 2-5 together. The electronic device comprises a circuit board 400, a chip 100, an optical module 200 and a heat dissipation air duct 310. The circuit board 400 comprises a first surface 01 and a second surface 02 which are oppositely arranged along a first direction D1. The heat dissipation air duct 310 is along the first direction D1. Here, the air direction of the heat dissipation air duct 310 can be the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure, or can be opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow.

[0054] The optical module 200 is located on the side of the circuit board 400 away from the second surface 02, that is, the optical module 200 is opposite to the first surface 01. Specifically, the optical module 200 can be directly arranged on the first surface 01, or can not be in contact with the circuit board 400, as long as the optical module 200 is signal-connected with the circuit board 400. The optical module 200 is used to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission, and is usually connected with external devices in a plug-in manner. The chip 100 can be arranged on the first surface 01 and / or the second surface 02, and is specifically arranged according to actual needs, but it is necessary to ensure that the orthographic projection of the chip 100 and the optical module 200 on the circuit board 400 does not overlap.

[0055] Please refer to FIGS. 2-5 together. Taking the arrangement direction of the chip 100 and the optical module 200 as a second direction D2, along the second direction D2, as shown in FIGS. 2-5, the circuit board 400 is divided into a first region 410 and a second region 420 (the region enclosed by the dashed line frame), the chip 100 is arranged in the first region 410, and at least one of the two edges 431, 432 of the first region 410 is provided with a first hollow area 03 along a third direction D3, wherein the edges 431, 432 include an upper edge 431 and a lower edge 432. The optical module 200 is arranged in the second region 420, and the second region 420 is provided with a second hollow area 04. The first hollow area 03 and the second hollow area 04 are both in communication with the heat dissipation air duct 310 to realize the circulation of air, so that the chip 100 and the optical module 200 can be cooled respectively. Here, the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are perpendicular to each other. It is worth mentioning that due to the limitation of process conditions or other factors, there may be some deviations or errors in the actual process, so that the "perpendicular" described above may not be completely accurate. For example, the "perpendicular" described above can be a perpendicular structure allowed within the error range. Of course, the "perpendicular" can also be understood as "basically perpendicular" or "completely perpendicular". Therefore, as long as the "perpendicular" described above generally meets the above conditions, it belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0056] The circuit board 400 can be a PCB. Optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device further includes a housing 500, which specifically can include a support plate 510, a side plate 520, and a top plate 530, and the support plate 510, the side plate 520, and the top plate 530 surround a receiving cavity.

The circuit board 400 is perpendicular to the support plate 510, and the heat dissipation air duct 310 is located in the receiving cavity, so that air can pass through the heat dissipation air duct 310 to dissipate heat from the chip 100 and the optical module 200. In the third direction, an edge of the circuit board 400 away from the support plate 510 is an upper edge 431, and an edge of the circuit board 400 connected to the support plate 510 is a lower edge 432.

[0057] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the chip 100 is arranged on the first surface 01 of the circuit board 400. Air in the environment can flow to the chip 100, then pass through the first hollow area 03 of the circuit board 400, and then flow to the heat dissipation channel 310. In other possible embodiments of the present application, the chip 100 is arranged on the second surface 02 of the circuit board 400. Air in the environment can flow to the first area 410 of the circuit board 400. Under the blocking of the circuit board 400, the air passes through the first hollow area 03 of the circuit board 400, then passes through the chip 100, and then flows into the heat dissipation channel 310.

[0058] Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, the electronic device in the present application further includes a fan 300 arranged in the receiving cavity, and the fan 300 is located on the heat dissipation air duct 310.

Referring to FIG. 6, the chip 100 is located on the first surface 01 of the circuit board 400, and the fan 300 is arranged on the heat dissipation air duct 310. Taking the fan 300 as an example of an air extraction fan, the air circulation path is described as follows. When the first hollow area 03 is arranged at the upper edge 431 of the first area 410, under the suction of the fan 300, air in the environment can flow to the chip 100, then pass through the first hollow area 03 at the upper edge 431 of the first area 410, and then enter the heat dissipation air duct 310. Finally, the air flows to the fan 300 and is discharged to the outside of the receiving cavity under the action of the fan 300.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 4, the first region 410 includes a first hollow area 03, and the first hollow area 03 is arranged at the lower edge 432 of the first region 410. Taking the case that the chip 100 is located on the first surface 01 of the circuit board 400 as an example, the flow path of the air is described as follows. Under the suction of the fan 300, the air in the environment can flow to the chip 100, then enter the heat dissipation air duct 310 through the first hollow area 03 at the lower edge 432 of the first region 410, and finally flow to the fan 300, and finally be discharged to the outside of the accommodating cavity under the action of the fan 300.

[0061] In another possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 5, the first region 410 includes two first hollow areas 03, and the upper edge 431 and the lower edge 432 of the first region 410 are each provided with a first hollow area 03.

Taking the case that the chip 100 is located on the first surface 01 of the circuit board 400 and the fan 300 is an extraction fan as an example, the flow path of the air is described as follows. Under the suction of the fan 300, the air in the environment can flow to the chip 100, then enter the heat dissipation air duct 310 through the first hollow area 03 at the upper edge 431 and the first hollow area 03 at the lower edge 432 of the first region 410, and finally flow to the fan 300, and finally be discharged to the outside of the accommodating cavity under the action of the fan 300.

[0062] Optionally, the first region 410 includes a first circuit layer (not shown in the drawings), which is used to be electrically connected with the chip 100. The first circuit layer is not communicated with the first hollow area 03, so as to avoid affecting the wiring of the first circuit layer by the first hollow area 03. The specific shape of the first hollow area 03 is not limited in the present application, as long as the electrical connection between the circuit board 400 and the chip 100 is not affected.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the first hollow area 03 is a strip-shaped opening arranged at the first region 410 and extending in the second direction.

A heat-conducting material 70 is arranged between the heat dissipation device 60 and the chip 10. The extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 61 of the heat dissipation device 60 is perpendicular to the air duct direction B. The heat dissipation fins 61 often extend beyond the air duct of the fan 30, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation fins 61.

[0070] Therefore, the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application further comprises a heat dissipation device. FIG. 10 is a top view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 11 is a side view of the electronic device according to another embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the heat dissipation device 600 is located on the side of the circuit board 400 away from the first surface 01. The heat dissipation device 600 comprises a plurality of heat dissipation fins 610 extending in the first direction. The specific extension size of the heat dissipation fins 610 is set according to the distance between the chip 100 and the fan 300. The heat dissipation fins 610 extend in the first direction, which is parallel to the wind direction of the fan 300, so that the fan 300 can dissipate heat from the heat dissipation fins 610. Moreover, the air duct design of the electronic device in the present application can significantly reduce the temperature difference of the heat dissipation fins 610, improve the temperature uniformity of the heat dissipation device 600, and dissipate heat more efficiently.

[0071] Optionally, the central axis Z of the heat dissipation device 600 coincides with the central axis of the chip 100. It should be noted that the number of chips 100 can be one, two or more. When the number of chips 100 is two or more, the central axes of the two or more chips 100 coincide with the central axis of the heat dissipation device 600. The above arrangement can make the heat dissipation device 600 have a symmetrical structure relative to the chip 100, so as to avoid damage to the chip 100 caused by the heat dissipation device 600 in the vibration and drop scenarios.

[0072] Continuing to refer to FIG. 10, the electronic device further comprises a heat-conducting material 700 arranged between the heat dissipation device 600 and the chip 100. The heat-conducting material 700 helps to improve the heat conduction efficiency between the chip 100 and the heat dissipation device 600. The heat-conducting material 700 has a low thermal resistance, which can help heat to pass through the contact surface more quickly, reduce the loss of heat in the conduction process, and increase the heat contact area between the heat dissipation device 600 and the chip 100, so that heat can be more effectively transferred from the high-temperature chip 100 to the heat dissipation device 600.

[0073] FIG. 12 is a top view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present application. The heat dissipation device 600 further comprises an evaporator 620 directly connected to the heat dissipation fins 610, and the heat dissipation fins 610 extend away from the evaporator 620. When the chip 100 is arranged on the surface of the circuit board 400 facing the fan 300, the evaporator 620 can be in direct contact with the chip 100, or a heat-conducting material can be arranged therebetween. When the chip 100 is arranged on the surface of the circuit board 400 away from the fan 300, the evaporator 620 can be in direct contact with the circuit board 400, or a heat-conducting material can be arranged therebetween.

[0074] It can be understood that, relative to the related heat dissipation device, the evaporator 620 and the heat dissipation fin 610 are connected by the heat pipe, in the heat dissipation device 600 in the embodiment of the application, the evaporator 620 and the heat dissipation fin 610 are directly connected, which can reduce the number of parts, simplify the structure of the heat dissipation device 600, and make disassembly and assembly simpler. At the same time, because the heat pipe does not need to be arranged, the failure of the heat pipe can be avoided, which leads to the failure of the heat dissipation device 600, as long as the reliability of the evaporator 620 is ensured, the reliability can be improved by more than 50%, and the temperature difference between the chip 100 and the heat dissipation fin 610 is reduced by 5-10℃.

[0075] In addition, because the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic equipment in the application is improved, the volume of the heat dissipation device 600 is smaller, specifically, the size of the heat dissipation fin 610 along the second direction is less than or equal to 180mm, and the size of the fin of the heat dissipation device 600 in the related electronic equipment along the second direction is about 400mm, the volume of the heat dissipation device 600 in the application is smaller, and the occupied space is reduced, at the same time, the weight of the heat dissipation device 600 is lighter, which can be reduced from more than 2kg to about 1kg, and the problem that the chip 100 is easily damaged in the chip 100 vibration drop scene can be effectively protected.

[0076] Optionally, the evaporator 620 is located in the orthographic projection of the circuit board 400 on the first area 410, avoiding the evaporator 620 from blocking the second hollow area 04, so as to affect the heat dissipation of the optical module 200.

[0077] In summary, in the electronic equipment in the application, the air duct design of the chip 100 and the optical module 200 is optimized, which can significantly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic equipment, and at the same time, the setting position and structure of the heat dissipation device 600 can be optimized, which can reduce the temperature difference of the heat dissipation fin 610, improve the temperature uniformity of the heat dissipation device 600, and dissipate heat more efficiently to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the chip 100 and the optical module 200.

[0078] Fig. 13 is a simulation cloud chart of the temperature difference of two chips of the electronic equipment according to an embodiment of the application, referring to Fig. 13, when the first area of the circuit board includes two first hollow areas, the maximum temperature difference between the two chips arranged along the third direction D3 of the first area is only 2°, which effectively improves the temperature uniformity of the chip.

[0079] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the application without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the application belong to the scope of the claims of the application and their equivalent technologies, the application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
