Description

Air-cooled case heat radiation structure applied to ASAAC module

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment thermal design, in particular to an air cooling cabinet heat dissipation structure applied to an ASAAC module.

Background

In recent years, the ASAAC modular standard meeting the requirements of the framework standard of the joint standardized avionics system is rapidly applied to the industries such as communication, radar and the like, and the modular structure meeting the standard becomes one of typical modular structures in part of industries.

As shown in fig. 1, the ASAAC module is composed of a locking bar 51, a box 52, a cover 55, an electrical connector 56, a puller 57, and the like, and is installed and fixed in the chassis through the locking bar 51.

The case provides a heat dissipation condition for the ASAAC module: the heat generated when the ASAAC module works is taken away by the cooling medium flowing in the cold plate of the case, so that the electronic device can work stably and reliably.

The heat dissipation structure of the standard ASAAC module in the chassis is shown in fig. 2, and the heat dissipation path is as follows:

the heat generated by the electronic device 53 in the ASAAC module during operation is conducted to the box body 52 through the heat conducting grease or the heat conducting pad 54, conducted to the upper guide rib 03 of the upper cold plate 01 and the lower guide rib 04 of the lower cold plate 02 of the chassis by the box body 52, transmitted to the upper cold plate 01 and the lower cold plate 03 through the heat conducting interface 06, and transmitted to the cooling medium 07 through the heat convection with the heat radiating fins in the cold plates, and taken away by the flowing cooling medium 07.

Because the standard ASAAC module has long heat transfer path and limited heat dissipation capacity: when liquid cooling heat dissipation is carried out, the heat dissipation capacity of each slot position is generally not more than 80W; when air-cooled heat dissipation is performed, the heat dissipation capacity of each slot position is generally not more than 60W, and the air-cooled heat dissipation requirement that a part of ASAAC modules in the equipment exceed 80W cannot be met.

The retrieval result shows that the research data of the air-cooled heat dissipation technology of the ASAAC module with larger power in China is relatively less, for example:

the patent with the patent number of CN208113186U provides a scheme of a fully-sealed air-cooled low-air-pressure working case, an ASAAC module in the case adopts an air-cooled heat dissipation scheme, and the problem of air duct sealing is solved emphatically, but the scheme is difficult to solve the air-cooled heat dissipation problem of the ASAAC module with the heat power consumption more than 80W; patent No. CN208706634U proposes a high-performance heat dissipation structure of a standard ASAAC module, which adopts a scheme of integrating a temperature equalization plate and a heat dissipation fin in the ASAAC module to improve the heat dissipation capability of the module, but the scheme integrates the temperature equalization plate and the heat dissipation fin in the ASAAC module, so as to reduce the available space of electronic devices in the module, and is greatly limited in engineering application.

Patent No. CN110198619A proposes a module heat dissipation and chassis sealing structure with an air duct, which is used to solve the sealing problem of chassis air cooling heat dissipation; the patent with the patent number CN109917837A proposes a sheet-metal chassis structure with an external plug-in heat dissipation module, which is used for solving the problem of air-cooling heat dissipation of a specific large heat dissipation module in the chassis; patent No. CN109661157A proposes a liquid cooling heat dissipation case for solving the problem of liquid cooling heat dissipation of a module. The technical schemes of the three patents are not the ASAAC module heat dissipation problem with large heat power consumption, and are not comparable.

The patent with the patent number of CN110012647A proposes an air-cooled chassis structure with increased heat dissipation in a modularized manner, which improves the local heat dissipation capability of the chassis by adding a reinforced heat dissipation module, and is limited by the structural layout and air distribution of the chassis, so that it is difficult to meet the layout and heat dissipation requirements of a plurality of ASAAC modules with larger heat power consumption in the chassis; according to the scheme, the fan is arranged on the back of the motherboard of the case, and great influence is also brought to debugging and maintenance of the motherboard of the case.

Therefore, in a specific application field, higher and more urgent needs are provided for a heat dissipation structure integrally installed with a plurality of air-cooled cabinets with ASAAC modules with heat power consumption not lower than 80W.
