Fig. 6 is the decomposition view of the fluid storage compartment seen shown in prior figures 4 and Fig. 5 and from relative position, has also shown the pump 21 that is arranged on fluid storage compartment inside.Eight screws are provided for heat exchange surface is fixed to the remainder of fluid storage compartment.Heat exchange surface is preferably made by having as shown in FIG. the copper sheet of flat external surface, and described outside surface is used in abutting connection with for example Free Surface (see figure 4) of CPU heat generating components.But, also be the plane towards the inside surface (not showing, referring to Fig. 7) of fluid storage compartment.Therefore, copper sheet is except being configured as outer boundary for the octagon-shaped shown in the present embodiment, and gets out the hole for inserting bolt, without any need for machine work.Do not need internally and/or outside surface is polished.
The sealant of packing ring 13 forms is used for being connected to fluid storage compartment 14 and forms between the heat exchange surface of fluid tight connection.Pump is used for being placed in the fluid storage compartment.Pump has pump intake 20, and from the fluid storage compartment inflow pump, and pump has pump discharge 19, is drawn into discharge coupling by its liquid coolant from pump by its liquid coolant.Also shown the lid 17 that is used for fluid storage compartment among the figure.The fact that fluid storage compartment non-smooth inner surface and pump are arranged on fluid storage compartment inside will provide in fluid storage compartment inside the liquid coolant eddy current.
But except non-smooth wall and the pump of fluid storage compartment is arranged on fluid storage compartment inside, fluid storage compartment can have the liquid coolant of being used to form through passage or the partitioning portion (referring to Fig. 9-10 and Figure 15) of certain flow path of fluid storage compartment.If when the inside surface of heat exchange surface is the plane and/or is not arranged on fluid storage compartment inside when fluid storage compartment inner wall smooth and/or pump, then especially need passage or partitioning portion.In each situation of mentioning, it is too fast that liquid coolant can cause liquid coolant to pass through fluid storage compartment flowing of fluid storage compartment inside, and absorb the heat of q.s from heat exchange surface less than the resident long enough time in fluid storage compartment.By fluid storage compartment inner passage or partitioning portion are provided, force liquid coolant to reside in the increase of fluid storage compartment internal time amount thereby improve flowing of the dissipation of heat through heat exchange surface, liquid coolant with providing.If passage or partitioning portion are arranged on fluid storage compartment inside, then the shape of passage and partitioning portion can be by making or by such as making by the metals such as aluminium of die casting by injection molding plastics by fluid storage compartment.
Liquid coolant enters fluid storage compartment by entrance interface 15, and enters pump intake 20, and pumps out from the pump discharge 19 that is connected to discharge coupling 16.Connection between fluid storage compartment and inlet duct interface and the outlet conduit interface forms respectively hydraulic seal.Pump not only can be pumping installations independently, and can be incorporated in the fluid storage compartment, thereby makes fluid storage compartment and pumping installations form a unitary member.The single integrated element of this fluid storage compartment and pumping installations also can be integrated, thereby can make fluid storage compartment, pumping installations and heat exchange surface form single integrated unit.For example, if fluid storage compartment by making such as metals such as aluminium then this is possible.Thereby the selection of material provides the possibility that makes up fluid storage compartment and heat exchange surface with relative high thermal conductivity, and also may take turns the possibility that bearing and similar structures element are provided for motor with as the pumping of a pumping installations part.
In another embodiment, pump is placed on the fluid storage compartment close region, but in the outside of fluid storage compartment.Be placed on the outside by pump, still at the close region of fluid storage compartment, still can obtain integrated element.Pump or entrance or outlet are preferably provided in the heat exchange interface close region and obtain mobile eddy current, promote thus the raising of the dissipation of heat between heat exchange interface and the liquid coolant.Even can select among the embodiment, for example the pumping parts of impeller (referring to Figure 15-16) also are arranged on the heat exchange surface close region.Pumping parts itself are usually introduced the eddy current that flows, thus no matter the position of pump itself or lead to fluid storage compartment or the entrance of pump or exit position can promote to improve the dissipation of heat.
Pump can be by exchanging or the direct current generator driving.When being driven by alternating current generator, although do not have needed technology and electricity in the computer system, this can be converted to by the direct current with computer system power supply the AC power for pump.The motor-driven of any voltage that pump can be shared by for example 110V or 220V public electric wire net.But in an illustrated embodiment, pump is driven by the 12V alternating current generator.
In the situation that pump is driven by alternating current generator, the control of pump is preferably undertaken by operating system or the similar device of computer system itself, and wherein computer system comprises for the device of measuring cpu load and/or cpu temperature.The needs that are used for the isolated plant of operating pumps have been eliminated in the operating system of use computer system or the measurement that similar system carries out.The operating system or the communication between similar system and the processor that are used for operating pumps can be carried out along the communication connection of setting up in computer system, and for example USB connects.Thus, the real-time Communication for Power between cooling system and the operating system can be set, and need not for the isolated plant of setting up communication.
Motor at driving pump is in the situation of alternating current generator, the method of above-mentioned control pump can be combined with a kind of method, the method is: described pumping installations is provided with the device for the detection-sensitive motor rotor-position, and employing following steps: the preferred sense of rotation of model rotor, before electric motor starting, the angle position of sensing rotor, in start-up course, alternating voltage is applied to motor, and the signal value of alternating voltage when selecting electric motor starting, positivity and negativity, the preferred sense of rotation of described selective basis is carried out, and applying by computer system of described alternating voltage undertaken, computer system be used for the DC voltage of power supply to the alternating voltage transfer process that is used for motor, supply with alternating voltage from the power supply of computer system.Operating system by computer system itself produces the alternating voltage that is used for motor, and the sense of rotation of pump can be by the computer system unique selection, does not rely on the voltage that the public electric wire net for computer system power supply applies.
Utilize the operating system of computer system or the strategy of the further control of similar system can relate to the rotational speed of coming ballast pump as the function of required cooling capacity.If need cooling capacity low, but the rotational speed of restrictive pump then limits the noise that the motor of driving pump produces thus.
Being combined setting or fan with the heat radiator shown in Fig. 1 at fan is combined with heat radiator in the situation about arranging, the operating system of computer system or similar system can be designed for the rotational speed of regulating pump, and thereby the speed of regulating the motor of driving pump, and the rotational speed of regulating fan, thereby the speed of regulating the motor of drive fan.Described adjusting should be considered required cooling capacity, but described adjusting should consider two kinds of cooling devices simultaneously, i.e. pump and fan, and it is maximum which produces noise.Thereby if fan totally produces more noise than pump, then when required cooling capacity is low, described adjusting will reduce the rotational speed of fan before reducing the rotational speed of pump.Thus, the noise level of whole cooling system reduces as far as possible.In the situation that opposite, namely the overall noise that produces of pump then reduced the rotational speed of pump greater than fan before reducing the rotational speed of fan.
Even further control strategy relates to the processing Type Control cooling capacity that carries out according to computing machine.Some Computer Processing, for example word processing, the Computer Processing that the workload that applies at the processing unit of for example CPU is processed than for example image of other types is little.The processing type of therefore, carrying out on the computer system can be used as the indicator of cooling capacity.According to the type of user with processing, even may set up certain refrigerating mode as the part of operating system or similar system.If the user selects for example word processing, then the needs according to the restriction cooling adopt certain cooling strategy.If the user selects for example image processing, adopt certain cooling strategy according to the needs that increase cooling.Can be according to the ability of capacity and control possibility and cooling system, and the desired use of the computer system of selecting according to user in the computer system use procedure or when computer system set up when selecting hardware in the process, before the actual use of computer system the desired use of the computer system of selection, set up two or more different refrigerating modes.
Pump is not restricted to mechanical hook-up, and can be any form that the coolant pump warp let-off can be crossed system.But pump is preferably one of mechanical pump of following type: bellowspump, centrifugal pump, membrane pump, drum pump, flexible line pump, flexible-impeller pump, gear-type pump, wriggling tubing sucker-rod pump, piston pump, screw pump, pressure washing pump, rotary lobe pump, rotary vane pump and electric power pump.Similarly, the motor of driving pump parts needs not to be electronic, and also can be Piezoelectric Driving motor, permanent magnetic drive motor, hydraulic drive motor or electric capacity CD-ROM drive motor.The selection of pump is depended on a lot of different parameters with the selection of the motor of driving pump, and selects the type of pump and the type of motor by those skilled in the art according to application-specific.For example, some pumps and some motors are more suitable for for example minicomputer system of lab-tops, some pumps and some motors are more suitable for forming the flow at high speed of liquid coolant, thereby obtain high cooling effectiveness, even some pumps and motor are more suitable for guaranteeing the low-noise operation of cooling system.Fig. 7 is that fluid storage compartment and heat exchange surface 4 assemble and pump 21 is placed on fluid storage compartment Section View in fluid storage compartment when inner.Fluid storage compartment is provided with entrance interface (invisible among the figure), and liquid coolant enters fluid storage compartment by it.Subsequently, liquid coolant flows through fluid storage compartment through heat exchange surface, and enters the entrance of pump.After passing through pump, liquid coolant flows out from delivery side of pump, and further flows out by pipe outlet interface 16.Also shown the lid 17 that is used for fluid storage compartment among the figure.Liquid coolant is inner and flow through flowing of pump and can further optimize at fluid storage compartment, so that come the pumping liquid coolant with alap energy, the heat that still still has q.s is dissipated to the liquid coolant from heat exchange surface.This further optimization can be by changing length and the shape of fluid storage compartment interior conduit interface entrance, and/or by changing the position of pump intake, and/or for example be placed on and near the of heat exchange surface thermo-contact or pumping installations on every side by having, and/or assign to set up by have passage or cutting part in fluid storage compartment inside.
The eddy current of the increase that is produced by pumping installations in this case, is used for improving the heat interchange between heat exchange surface and the liquid coolant.Another kind of or other modes that improve heat interchange are to force liquid coolant through being arranged on inner special passage or the partitioning portion of transforming of fluid storage compartment, or the air spots of the heat exchange surface sheet by making fluid storage compartment inside is straight, perhaps by adopting the heat radiator with partitioning portion of definite shape.Shown in figure in, be the plane towards the inside surface of the heat exchange surface of fluid storage compartment.
Fig. 8 is the three-dimensional view of the cooling system of demonstration fluid storage compartment 14, and described fluid storage compartment 14 has the pump (not shown) of heat exchange surface (not shown) and fluid storage compartment inside.Entrance interface and pipe outlet interface are connected to heat radiator by connecting tube 24 and 25, and liquid coolant flows into and outflow fluid storage compartment and heat radiator by connecting tube 24 and 25 respectively.In heat radiator 11, liquid coolant is through a plurality of pipelines for heat radiation, and heat is dissipated into liquid coolant and the surroundings of fluid storage compartment inside.Fan 10 is to the blowing of the passage of heat radiator, with heat of cooling radiator, and cools off thus in channel interior and flows through heat radiator and flow back to liquid coolant in the fluid storage compartment.
According to the present invention, heat radiator 11 can be selected to arrange.Selective heat radiator is made of heat radiator, described heat radiator for for example by fin at the first side, the basic plane standard heat radiator of being made by extruded aluminium in the second side.Fan can be connected setting along the first side with fin.Fluid storage compartment has at least one hole along the second side setting of heat radiator, is used for by described hole being covered the part of the basic planar side of heat radiator or covering alternatively all next closed.When closed fluid storage compartment by this way, the inner directly heat exchange contact of fin surface and fluid storage compartment, and thereby with fluid storage compartment in liquid coolant by the direct heat exchange contact at least one hole.But the system of selection of this set heat radiator can be used among the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, perhaps can be used as the heat radiator of the another kind of use of the present invention and/or another embodiment.
Be used for the pumping liquid coolant can be arranged on the heat radiator place through the pumping installations of fluid storage compartment fluid storage compartment inside, also can be arranged on fluid storage compartment inside.Fluid storage compartment can have passage or partitioning portion, is used to form liquid coolant through certain flow path of fluid storage compartment.If passage or partitioning portion are when the inside surface of heat exchange surface is the plane and/or be not placed on fluid storage compartment at fluid storage compartment inner wall smooth and/or pump and especially need when inner.In each situation of mentioning, flowing of the liquid coolant of fluid storage compartment inside can cause liquid coolant to flow through too quickly fluid storage compartment, not in the resident long enough of the fluid storage compartment time, to absorb abundant heat from heat exchange surface.If passage or partitioning portion in the fluid storage compartment are arranged on fluid storage compartment inside, then the shape of passage or partitioning portion can determine that fluid storage compartment is by making or be made by the metals such as aluminium that the die casting such as possibility forms by injection molding plastics.
By selectable heat radiator, heat radiator 11 is not arranged to the too expensive pipeline configuration that has shown in the figure, and described pipeline configuration guides liquid coolant along the rib that is used for this Structure Improvement surface that is connected to passage.On the contrary, heat radiator is set to the unit that described heat radiator by having or do not have fan and fluid storage compartment consists of, and the simpler thus heat radiator more cheap than heat radiator shown in the figure 11 is provided thus.
The heat radiator selected that is set to the unit that is made of heat radiator and fluid storage compartment can use separately, fluid storage compartment inside has or does not have pump, have or do not have partitioning portion or passage, described heat radiator is used for respectively and places such as the heating processor such as CPU or the direct or indirect thermo-contact of heat exchange surface.These embodiment of the present invention can for example be used for fluid storage compartment, wherein along the liquid coolant of the first side in the fluid storage compartment with such as direct heat exchange contact of heating processor such as CPU, and along liquid coolant and the direct heat exchange contact of heat radiator of the second side in the fluid storage compartment.Can form such fluid storage compartment so that towards the heat exchange surface area of the heating processor of for example CPU greater than the heat exchange surface area towards heat radiator.This may for example have the effect that increases heat exchange surface area, with realize than not fixedly the traditional heat-dissipating sheet of fluid storage compartment have improvement from CPU for example to the dissipation of heat of heat radiator.Traditional heat radiator only carries out heat interchange with CPU by the area that is provided by CPU top side area usually.Have been found that the system that comprises fluid storage compartment and have a heat radiator of fan is a kind of system of simple, cost optimization, has the dissipation of heat that improves than the standard heat radiator that does not have fluid storage compartment with fan.In another embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment can release from Fig. 8, and fan and heat radiator are directly aimed at placement with fluid storage compartment.Thus, fluid storage compartment 14, fan 10 and heat radiator 11 being integrally formed unit.Such embodiment can provide the possibility of omitting connecting tube and the ingress interface of liquid coolant by fluid storage compartment directly being transported to fluid storage compartment and directly being transported to heat radiator by the discharge coupling of fluid storage compartment from fluid storage compartment from heat radiator.Such embodiment can even provide motor that fan 23 blades of the pumping installations of fluid storage compartment internal liquid pump and heat radiator 11 use by identical motor-driven possibility, thereby makes this motor become a unique motor in the cooling system.
Directly aim at fluid storage compartment on the fan top of placement this moment when heat radiator is placed on, and when heat radiator is directly connected to the ingress interface of fluid storage compartment and discharge coupling, then do not need pipeline.But, if heat radiator and fluid storage compartment are not directly aimed at mutually, then still need pipeline, and be not only pipeline, may use by metal conduits such as copper or aluminium, such conduit can prevent any possible evaporation of liquid coolant.And such conduit respectively and the connection between heat radiator and the fluid storage compartment can be welding can prevent the liquid coolant evaporation so that connect.
In by the embodiment that describes release, the air-flow that the integrated unit of fluid storage compartment, heat exchange surface and pumping installations will provide owing to fan also can guide the structure of improving heat-radiating properties of setting up along the outside surface of fluid storage compartment.If fluid storage compartment is made of metal, then this metal will be by cooling off through heat radiator or through the air through fluid storage compartment before the heat radiator.If fluid storage compartment is made of metal, and if fluid storage compartment be provided with partitioning portion at the outside surface of fluid storage compartment, this cooling of the fluid storage compartment by air will further improve.Thus, the integrated unit of just having described will provide the heat-radiating properties of improvement, and the thermal radiation function that is usually undertaken by heat radiator thereby by one or more other elements of cooling system is namely replenished by fluid storage compartment, heat exchange surface, liquid pump and fan.
Fig. 9-10 has shown the embodiment of fluid storage compartment housing 14, and wherein passage 25 is arranged on fluid storage compartment inside, is used for forcing liquid coolant in the fluid storage compartment internal flow.Passage 25 in the fluid storage compartment 14 leads to outlet 16 from entrance 15, resembles the labyrinth between the entrance and exit.Fluid storage compartment 14 arranges hole 27, and this hole 27 has external dimensions corresponding to the size of the Free Surface of processor 1 to be cooled.In an illustrated embodiment, processor to be cooled is CPU 1.
When passage 26 is arranged on fluid storage compartment when inner, the shape of passage can determine that fluid storage compartment is by making or by may making such as metals such as aluminium by extruding or die casting manufacturing by the plastics of injection moulding manufacturing.
May can carry out spray metal coating by the fluid storage compartment 14 of plastic material manufacturing or any other parts of cooling system, with minimum liquid diffusion or liquid evaporation.Metal can be set to thin metal cladding, is arranged on plastic components inner or outside arbitrary one or both.
CPU 1 is used for being arranged on hole 27, as shown in Figure 10, so that the outer boundary of CPU engages with the border in hole.Possible is that the sealant (not shown) can arrange along the border in CPU and hole, with tight engagement between the border of guaranteeing CPU border and hole.When CPU 1 was arranged in the hole 27, the Free Surface (not shown) of CPU was towards fluid storage compartment, and namely fluid storage compartment is provided with the part of passage.Thereby in the time of in being arranged on hole 27 (referring to Figure 10), the Free Surface of CPU 1 directly contacts with the liquid coolant of passage 26 in flowing through fluid storage compartment.
When forcing liquid coolant 26 to flow to outlet 16 the time from entrance 15 along passage, the whole Free Surface of CPU 1 will be by the liquid coolant process, thereby guarantees that CPU normally reaches the maximization cooling.Channel architecture can design and selects according to any one or a plurality of regulation, and described regulation is high heat-dissipation, certain flow characteristics and is easy to make etc.Therefore, passage can be according to any needs or requirement, and has other design according to the shape and size of the type of CPU and CPU Free Surface.And different from CPU, other processor may show different dissipation of heat needs, and may show other shape and size that come from the surface, needing to cause other structures of passage.If processor is elongate, for example be row's microprocessor, one or more parallel channels that may only have common access and public outlet then can be set.
Figure 11-13 has shown the embodiment of heat radiator 4, and wherein partitioning portion 28 is arranged on heat radiator the first side 4A place, be used for the dissipation of heat to fin 29 on every side be arranged on heat radiator another, the second side 4B place.Intermediate reservoir 30 has recessed fluid storage compartment in the side setting towards heat radiator the first side 4A.Recessed fluid storage compartment 30 has entrance 31 and outlet 32 at another opposite side towards heat radiator 4.
When partitioning portion 28 was arranged on heat radiator the first side 4A, the shape of partitioning portion can determine by metal fluid storage compartments such as aluminium or copper by being crushed to still by making such as other manufacture methods such as castings.Especially when partitioning portion 28 was linear and is parallel to fin 29, as shown in embodiment, extruding then was feasible and mode cost-efficient manufacturing heat radiator 4.
May can carry out spray metal coating by the intermediate reservoir 30 of plastic material manufacturing or other any parts of cooling system, with minimum liquid diffusion or liquid evaporation.Metal can be arranged to be arranged on the arbitrary side in plastic components inboard or the outside or the thin metallic coating on both.
Recessed fluid storage compartment has a kind of jagged edges 33 along the couple positioned opposite of fluid storage compartment, and entrance 31 and export the 32 relative corners that are separately positioned on intermediate reservoir 30.Place partitioned portion 28, it is arranged on heat radiator the first side 4A place, namely towards intermediate reservoir 30 sides, with when heat radiator and intermediate reservoir housing (referring to Figure 13) when being assembled together, partitioning portion 29 extends to another jagged edges side of fluid storage compartment from a jagged edges side of fluid storage compartment.
When forcing liquid coolant from entrance 31 process fluid storage compartments, the passage (not shown) that forms along the partitioning portion 29 by heat radiator 4 flows to outlet 32, the whole first side 4A of heat radiator will be by the liquid coolant process, thereby guarantees the normal and maximized dissipation of heat between liquid coolant and the heat radiator.The structure of the structure of the partitioning portion on heat radiator the first side 4A and intermediate reservoir housing jagged edges side can design and selects according to any regular.Therefore, partitioning portion can have other design, may perhaps also may be zigzag for wavy, depends on the flow characteristics of the liquid coolant of any needs, and depends on the type of heat radiator and the size and dimension of fluid storage compartment.
May be the difference needs that other types of the heat radiator of circular heatsink also can show the dissipation of heat, can show other size and dimensions of Free Surface, cause the needs of other structures of partitioning portion and intermediate reservoir.If heat radiator and fluid storage compartment are circular or oval, the partitioning portion that may have the spirality partitioning portion of entrance and exit or radially extend at the fluid storage compartment middle part can be set then.If be provided with the impeller of pump, as shown in Figure 15-16, the impeller of the pump middle part that can be arranged on the middle part of spirality partitioning portion or radially extend partitioning portion then.
Figure 14 has shown the heat radiator 4 shown in the fluid storage compartment 14 shown in the Fig. 9-10 that is assembled together and Figure 11-13 and intermediate reservoir 30, with being integrally formed en-block construction thus.Not that absolute demand is assembled together to obtain normal cooling system function with the fluid storage compartment 14 of Fig. 9-10 and heat radiator 4 and the intermediate reservoir 30 of Figure 11-13.The entrance 15 of the fluid storage compartment 14 of Fig. 9-10 and outlet 16 can be connected respectively to by pipeline or conduit outlet 32 and the entrance 31 of the intermediate reservoir of Figure 11-13.
So the fluid storage compartment 14 of Fig. 9-10 and the heat radiator 4 of Figure 11-13 and intermediate reservoir 30 can be arranged on the diverse location place in the computer system.But, by the fluid storage compartment 14 of Fig. 9-10 and heat radiator 4 and the intermediate reservoir 30 of Figure 11-13 are assembled together, can obtain compact monolithic unit, and avoid the needs of pipeline or conduit.Pipeline or conduit may relate to increases the risk that liquid coolant is leaked, and perhaps may need to weld or other particular process are eliminated the risk that liquid coolant is leaked.By eliminating the needs of pipeline or conduit, when the assembling cooling system, can avoid any leakage and any additional processing.
Figure 15-16 has shown the possible embodiment of fluid storage compartment according to the present invention.Fluid storage compartment is basic identical with the fluid storage compartment shown in Fig. 9-10.But the impeller 33 of cooling system pump directly is communicated with setting with passage 26.And in shown embodiment, the heat exchange interface 4 that for example has a surface that the high thermal conductivity material piece makes by copper sheet or other is arranged between the passage 26 and the CPU1 as processor of fluid storage compartment inside.
Heat exchange surface 4 is preferably made by the copper sheet with flat as shown in the figure outside surface, and described outside surface is used in abutting connection with for example Free Surface of the heat generating components of CPU1 (referring to Fig. 4).But, also be the plane towards the inside surface (not showing, referring to Fig. 7) of fluid storage compartment.Therefore, copper sheet is except being configured as outer boundary the specific suitable shape that shows for embodiment, and boring is used for inserting bolt, do not need machine work.Do not need to provide the polishing of interior and/or outside surface.
Provide not necessarily preferred embodiment of heat exchange surface 4, because the scheme of combined hole (referring to Fig. 9-10) causes the Free Surface of CPU or other processors and exchanges along the direct heat between the liquid coolant of channel flow in the fluid storage compartment.But heat exchange surface can make the use of cooling system be independent of type and the size of the Free Surface of CPU or other processors.And heat exchange surface can make replacing, reparation or other management of cooling system not have liquid coolant to enter the risk of computer system, may not need to extract out wholly or in part like this liquid coolant of cooling system.
In an illustrated embodiment, heat exchange surface 4 is bolted fluid storage compartment.Also can use other easily fastening means.Heat exchange surface 4 and therefore fluid storage compartment 14 can be by any suitable mode, for example welding, soldering or the heat bonding by the combination of use glue are fixed to CPU1 or other processors.Alternatively, the specific device (not shown) can be provided for guaranteeing the Free Surface of CPU or his processor and the thermo-contact between the heat exchange surface.One of such device can be the stationary installation shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 or the stationary installation that has been set to a computing machine part.
When passage 26 was arranged on fluid storage compartment 14 inside, the shape of passage can determine that fluid storage compartment is by making or making such as metals such as aluminium by the possibility die casting by injection molding plastics.
May can carry out spray metal coating by the fluid storage compartment 14 of plastic material manufacturing or any other parts of cooling system, with minimum liquid diffusion or liquid evaporation.Metal can be set to be arranged on the arbitrary side in plastic components inboard or the outside or the thin metallic coating on both.
The impeller 33(of pump is referring to Fig. 4) be arranged in the independent recess of passage 26, described independent recess has the size corresponding to the impeller diameter of pump.Recess is provided with entrance 34 and outlet 35, is oppositely arranged with liquid coolant admission passage 26 or from entrance 31 and outlet 32 that passage 26 flows out respectively.The impeller 33 of pump has shape and the design that only is used for single direction rotation, only is shown as among the embodiment to turn clockwise.Thus, the efficient of pump impeller with can and be used for comparing clockwise greatly raising with the impeller that is rotated counterclockwise.

The impeller 33 of pump has shape and the design that only is used for single direction rotation, only turns clockwise in an illustrated embodiment.Thus, compare with can and being used for impeller clockwise and that be rotated counterclockwise, the efficient of the impeller of pump improves greatly.
The efficient that Impeller Design improves causes the motor (not shown) of the impeller of driving pump may be less than being used for setting up other required motors of normal and enough liquid coolants that flows through passage.In a preferred embodiment, although impeller is used for direct current generator, motor is alternating current generator, is preferably the 12V alternating current generator.The use contradiction of alternating current generator driving DC impeller causes setting up the possibility of the required less motor of normal and enough coolant flow through passage.
Impeller can be by the motor-driven of any voltage of for example 110V alternating voltage that shares in the public electric wire net or 220V alternating voltage.The power supply of computer system is converted to low-voltage DC with High Level AC Voltage.Thereby the impeller of pump not only can but also can have been driven by direct current generator by alternating current generator.As mentioned above, preferably, the impeller of pump is driven by alternating current generator.Although technically do not need to use alternating current generator, and in the galvanic computer system of supply, use alternating current generator unfavorable for the use of electricity, but can being converted to for the alternating current of pump alternating current generator by the galvanic part that computer system power source is supplied with, this realizes.
Every aspect of the present invention, wherein alternating current generator is used for driving the impeller that is driven by direct current generator, although this method of structure pump is contradiction, the optimal way of setting up following operation is used for slowing down shortcoming:
For the sense of rotation of the impeller that can be operatively connected to rotor, and in start-up course, optimize the condition of maximum mean value of torque, namely increase to synchronous speed from zero velocity, use electronic control circuit.Electronic control circuit comprises processor, and it drives static power switch, is made of the TRIAC that for example is disposed in series between alternating source and the alternating current generator, and alternating source is obtained by the direct current of computer system.Current monitor is output as the input signal for electronic processors.
Electronic control circuit can comprise that also several sensings that are suitable for are included in the permanent magnet position that comprises in the AC motor rotor and the sensor of polarity, when rotor motion, and when its during at specific operating condition, perhaps static when it or when remaining on zero velocity.The quantity of position transducer can be optics or the electro-mechanical sensors that rotor-position maybe can be set up and/or measure to Hall element, scrambler.From the output signal of the position transducer of described quantity for being used for the input signal of electronic processors.
In addition, can before sending to the electronic processors input, output signal carry out phase shift by the electronics phase-shift circuit from the output signal of position transducer.
The 3rd signal can be input to processor, and described the 3rd signal can make processor unit sense the polarity of the alternating voltage that is applied to alternating current generator.But the 3rd signal is optional.
The signal that is input to electronic processors is converted to digital form, and after being processed by processor, output signal is provided by processor.Output signal is used for closed or opens the static switch that is made of the TRIAC with the alternating current generator arranged in series.
In electronic processors, the current signal that is provided by current sensor enters zero-crossing detector, and this zero-crossing detector provides and is output as the logical one signal, and the described electric current of this signal indication approaches zero, has the plus or minus deviation with the null value of described electric current.This deviation depends on type and the application thereof of used motor, and the type of employed static power switch.The signal of coming from position transducer enters phase shift and treatment circuit, and its output is 1 or 0 according to position and the polarity of rotor.
In electronic processors, phase shift position signalling and the signal of processing from alternating voltage enter the electronic logic XOR gate, if the numerical value of alternating voltage equal 0 and phase shift position number of signals value equal 1, perhaps alternating voltage numerical value equal 1 and phase shift position number of signals value equal 0, then it is output as 1 signal.
Thereby the output of the output of the zero-crossing detector of numerical value form and XOR gate enters electronic logic AND door, the control signal output that it is provided for closure or opens static power switch.
AND door and two input and signal processing system allow to determine two kinds of situations: 1) ac voltage signal is for just, and electric current approaches zero, and the rotor angle is between 0 degree and 180 is spent; 2) ac voltage signal is for negative, and electric current approaches zero, and the rotor angle is between 180 degree and 360 degree.Both of these case provides the identical sense of rotation of the rotor of alternating current generator.
Figure 18 has shown alternating current generator embodiment, and one of them magnetic pole of the stator 54 is than another magnetic pole of the stator 55 long amounts that represented by l.By this structure, the p-m rotor 39 with ideal line 56 that rotor arctic N and South Pole S are separated is arranged to ideal line 56 and is not overlapped with the middle bobbin 57 of stator 37, but ideal line 56 is about the center line 57 inclination certain angle α of stator 37.
Two field coils 58,59 are separately positioned on two magnetic poles 54,55 of stator 37, and field coil is connected in series and pass through the terminal (not shown) by ac power supply.By this structure of alternating current generator, can more easily start at the preset rotating direction motor of rotor.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, in the start-up course, the control electronic installation only offers the alternating current generator half-wave voltage signal, provides torque pulse to rotor thus.Owing to only supply with the motor half-wave voltage signal, so torque pulse is always unidirectional, and therefore drive rotor begins direction rotation at needs.Need the rotation of direction by the polarity decision of the Impeller Design that is connected to rotor and half-wave voltage signal.
After a certain amount of time, wherein several half-wave voltage signal have been supplied with motor, and rotor will stop the rotation in for example position of certain shown in the figure.Thereby rotor enters the steady state position of determining that is independent of its enable position.After this process, alternating current generator is provided with the all-wave voltage signal, and this all-wave voltage signal will speed up rotor, until motor enters run-in synchronism, namely works as rotor with the period frequency rotation identical with the alternating voltage source frequency.
The ac voltage signal initial polarity determines the final direction of rotor, if thereby initial voltage has the amplitude of increase for just, then rotor will start with a direction, if instead voltage is for bearing and having the amplitude that reduces, then rotor will be with opposite direction rotation.
Bring rotor into characteristic that the needed half-wave number of steady state position that definite rotor stops the rotation depends on motor, for example inertia moment and be applied to the external loading of rotor.Thereby needed half-wave number depends on empirical analysis, the especially loading condition of particular motor.
Supply to the half-wave voltage signal of motor and corresponding half-wave current signal and have as shown in Figure 19 waveform.
In another embodiment, the control electronic installation that is used for the alternating current generator shown in driving Figure 18 is configured to control electronic installation and stops at the precalculated position by supply with the several half-wave voltage signal instruction of motor alternating current generator after run-in synchronism, in described run-in synchronism, motor is provided with the all-wave voltage signal.Thereby when motor need to start again, rotor had been in certain position, thereby the polarity that only offers the full-wave AC voltage signal of motor must be selected, so that the final sense of rotation of rotor is consistent with the final position during rotor in the end turns round.
According to the method, do not need to make motor enter the initial step of definite steady state position by supplying with the several half-wave voltage signal of motor.Even in described another embodiment, also may stop full wave power supply by several half-wave voltage signal and supply with, and by the initial several half-wave voltage signal of motor of supplying with, the beginning full wave power supply is supplied with.But this more bothers, yet safer.
Figure 19 has shown the voltage signal V of supply alternating current generator and the position signalling of current signal I and rotor.It is static that initial rotor still keeps, and L represents by straight line.Electronic control circuit control static power switch is so that voltage signal V and current signal I show with half-wave.Thereby rotor accepts because current-voltage makes up the torque pulse that causes, these pulses are always unidirectional, and begins to rotate in required direction for driving rotor.After starting mutually, rotor enters its synchronous operation.
Thereby, may produce AC signal by the means of digital electric pulses of supplying with from the 12V direct current of computer power supply supply, be preferably the AC signal of 12V.According to the possible sensor output relevant with impeller location, determine how to begin ac signal, namely by the negative or positive half-wave, and by guaranteeing that impeller starts in identical sense of rotation at every turn, and thereby to exchange these of pump performance and benefit and straightway pump identical.
In addition, can omit magnetic field sensor, and replace the position of reading impeller, impeller is forced to start in identical position at every turn.Start front position limiting in order to ensure impeller, signal is supplied to the stator of alternating current generator in the time cycle that limits.According to the power supply curve, this signal may be given three times by continuous supplying.Pulse must be in the identical half-wave part of signal period.Although the frequency of pulse signal is arbitrary value, but can be 50/60Hz, although, although under normal circumstances by from the power outlet of public electric wire net and be transformed into the ac pump that the AC signal of 12V drives by 230/115V and can not move, because can not change sinusoidal signal from public electric wire net.
In this way, before startup, impeller will be forced to correct polarity, and when supplying with the all-wave electric signal, pump will be with the limiting mode wheel rotor of rotation.The all-wave electric signal of supplying with must start to compare opposite half-wave amplitude signal with the initial half-wave pulse that the all-wave signal begins to supply with before.
The present invention is described with reference to specific embodiment and with reference to application-specific, but it should be noted, various embodiments of the invention can independent or a plurality of embodiment common combinations be made, buy and sell, sell and use.In the detailed description on the present invention, may can be attached to reference to the description of the embodiment of one or more figure may the description with reference to the embodiment of other one or more figure in, vice versa.Therefore, any independent embodiment that describes in text and/or the accompanying drawing or the combination of two or more embodiment all belong to the application's possible range.
