Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a schematic structural diagram of a heat dissipation structure for an intelligent terminal 11 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which the heat dissipation structure is used for dissipating heat generated inside the intelligent terminal 11, and specifically includes:
-heating element 1
The heating element 1 is mainly used for processing information and generating instructions in the intelligent terminal 11, such as a CPU and a GPU, and when the intelligent terminal 11 is used, large-scale game software is run, a large amount of data is processed, and a fine picture is displayed, the device generates a large amount of heat because the device is in a high-speed working state, once the heat is accumulated in the intelligent terminal 11, the service life of the device is reduced because the device is in a high-temperature state for a long time, and on the other hand, the overheated intelligent terminal 11 is poor in experience when a user holds the intelligent terminal 11, so that the cooling requirement is always a hard requirement of the intelligent terminal 11.
-heat conducting element 2
In order to discharge the heat generated by the heating element 1 as soon as possible, the heat dissipation structure further comprises a heat conduction element 2, wherein the heat conduction element 2 is provided with a heat conduction surface, and the heat conduction surface faces the heating element 1 and is in contact heat conduction with the heating element 1, so that the heat generated by the heating element 1 is conducted to the heat conduction element 2 through contact. In order to improve the heat conduction efficiency between the heating element 1 and the heat conducting element 2, heat dissipation glue (such as heat conduction silicone grease) may be used to bond the heating element 1 and the heat conducting element 2.
Semiconductor refrigeration module 3
After heat is conducted to the heat conducting member 2, since the heat conducting member 2 has a certain heat absorption limitation, if the heat of the heat conducting member 2 is not timely discharged, the heat absorption effect of the heat conducting member on the heat generating member 1 is reduced. Therefore, in order to dissipate heat from the heat conducting member 2, the heat dissipation structure further includes a semiconductor refrigeration module 3, which is mounted on the heat conducting surface of the heat conducting member 2 and contacts with the heat conducting member 2 to conduct heat. The semiconductor refrigeration module 3, for example a TEC (thermoelectric semiconductor refrigeration device), has a cold end and a hot end, and in operation the cold end will be cooled very rapidly, so that for a thermally conductive member 2 having a higher temperature, the heat thereon will be conducted rapidly to the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and subsequently to the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3. The semiconductor refrigeration module 3 is adopted for heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation effect and the heat dissipation duration can be finely controlled by the working state and the working current of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3.
First heat sink 4
With the above configuration, heat has been conducted from the heat generating element 1 to the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3. In turn, the first heat sink 4 is mounted on the hot side of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and is in thermal contact with the hot side, thereby further conducting heat to the first heat sink 4. The first heat sink 4 may be a heat sink fin, and the heat dissipation effect is improved by the arrangement of a plurality of heat sinks.
Fan assembly 5
After having first radiating member 4, the heat that the conduction was gone out will encircle on first radiating member 4, if not in time will heat outside the intelligent terminal 11, the inside high temperature environment that still is in of intelligent terminal 11 is not good to the cooling effect of heating member 1. Therefore, the heat dissipation structure further includes a fan assembly 5, the fan assembly 5 is disposed on the heat conducting member 2, and after the fan assembly 5 works, the heat dissipation structure will have an air inlet end and an air outlet end, it will be understood that the air inlet end is a surface of the fan for sucking air, and the air outlet end is a surface of the fan for exhausting air. After the fan assembly 5 works, heat discharged by the first heat radiating member 4 is extracted and discharged from the air outlet end.
Separator 6
On the opposite side of the heat conducting member 2, for example, a heat conducting plate, a partition plate 6 is provided, and the heat generating member 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the first heat dissipating member 4 and the fan assembly 5 are disposed between the partition plate 6 and the heat conducting member 2, so that the heat generating member 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the first heat dissipating member 4 and the fan assembly 5 are separated from other devices inside the intelligent terminal 11, and heat generated by the heat generating member 1 will not affect the other devices. The partition plate 6 is provided so as not to serve as a heat conduction function, and thus the partition plate 6 is partitioned from the heat generating member 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the first heat dissipating member 4, and the fan assembly 5, forming an air layer therebetween.
-a support plate 7
A support plate 7 is also provided between the partition plate 6 and the heat-conducting plate to support the partition plate 6 on the heat-conducting plate. The support plate 7 may be formed of a bracket inside the smart terminal 11 and may be integrally formed with a housing of the smart terminal 11.
At least one air inlet 8 and at least one air outlet 9 are respectively formed in the partition plate 6 or the support plate 7, the air inlet 8 and the air outlet 9 are communicated with an air layer between the partition plate 6 and the heating element 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the first heat dissipation element 4 and the fan assembly 5, and after the fan assembly 5 works, the air outlet end discharges sucked air out of the air outlet 9 to the outside of the intelligent terminal 11, so that other parts of the air layer are in a negative pressure state, the air outside the partition plate 6 is sucked in from the air inlet 8 by utilizing the negative pressure state, the air circulates between the air inlet 8, the heating element 1, the first heat dissipation element 4 or the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the air inlet end of the fan assembly 5 and the air outlet 9, and along with the circulation of the air, a heat dissipation path from the air inlet 8, the heating element 1, the first heat dissipation element 4 or the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the air inlet end of the fan assembly 5 to the air outlet 9 is formed, and heat is discharged from the heat dissipation path to the intelligent terminal 11.
By the configuration, the heat dissipation efficiency in the intelligent terminal 11 is greatly improved by utilizing the common heat dissipation of the first heat dissipation element 4, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and the fan assembly 5.
In a preferred embodiment, the heat conducting member 2 is disposed along the length direction of the partition 6, and the length of the heat conducting member may be the same as that of the partition 6, that is, the entire width of the intelligent terminal 11, so that the heat generating member 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3, the first heat dissipating member 4 and the fan assembly 5 are arranged in parallel on the heat conducting surface of the heat conducting member 2, and a manufacturer of the intelligent terminal 11 does not need to provide additional space for placing the above devices. And the heat conducting pieces 2 are arranged in parallel in a large area, so that heat is accumulated in a limited space while the heat radiating efficiency is improved, and the heat can be discharged together during heat radiation, so that the heat radiating effect is further enhanced. The heat generating element 1, the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and the fan assembly 5 are arranged along the direction from the start point to the end point of the heat dissipation path, and the heat of the heat generating element 1 is completely discharged, so that the heat is not maintained in the intelligent terminal 11.
Preferably or alternatively, the heat dissipation structure further comprises: the second heat dissipation element 10, the second heat dissipation element 10 is located the one side of heating element 1 relative to the heat conduction board, and with heating element 1 contact heat conduction. By the arrangement of the second heat dissipation element 10, the heat of the heat generation element 1 can be further dispersed, and the pressure of the heat conduction element 2 is reduced. The second heat dissipation element 10 is disposed beside the air inlet 8 to be located at the start point of the heat dissipation path, i.e. when air is sucked into the air inlet 8, heat on the second heat dissipation element 10 will be taken away first, and when the second heat dissipation element 10 is cooled, heat of the heat generating element 1 can be further sucked. It is understood that the width of the second heat dissipation element 10 may be as long as possible, and the second heat dissipation element may be in the shape of heat dissipation fins, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the second heat dissipation element 10.
Further, the top surface of the second heat sink 10 is flush with the top surface of the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and the top surface of the fan assembly 5, so that for the configuration of the air layer, the air layer is formed to be entirely planar without such as a bend or a curve. Under the planar configuration, the part of the heat dissipation path from the air inlet 8 to the air inlet end of the fan assembly 5 is basically straight, and the fan assembly 5 can absorb air only by small-power rotation.
Preferably or alternatively, the plurality of air inlets 8 includes at least one air inlet 8 formed on the partition plate 6 and at least one air inlet 8 formed on the support plate 7, for example, 2 air inlets 8 formed on the partition plate 6 and 1 air inlet 8 formed on the support plate 7, wherein the air inlets 8 formed on the partition plate 6 are rectangular and the air inlets 8 formed on the support plate 7 are strip-shaped, so as to satisfy air inlet directions in the relative positional relationship between different air inlet positions and air layers. For example, the direction of the air entering from the air inlet 8 on the partition plate 6 is perpendicular to the air layer, the opening of the air inlet 8 on the partition plate 6 should be larger, and the direction of the air entering from the air inlet 8 on the support plate 7 is the same as the air layer, the opening of the air inlet 8 on the support plate 7 may be smaller. On the other hand, the number of the air outlets 9 is one, the air outlets 9 are arranged on the supporting plate 7, and the air outlets 9 and the air inlets 8 are positioned on two side edges of the supporting plate 7. The opening of the air outlet 9 is also smaller to save space occupation in the intelligent terminal 11.
Further, the air inlet 8 and the air outlet 9 are horn-shaped; the radial width of the air inlet 8 gradually decreases along the direction from the outer side to the inner side of the air inlet 8; the radial width of the air outlet 9 gradually decreases in the direction from the inside to the outside of the air outlet 9. With the above configuration, the flow rate of air will be increased when it enters the air inlet 8 from the outside due to the different widths, and the flow rate of air will be increased when it is discharged from the air outlet 9, so that the heat dissipation effect is improved by increasing the flow rate of air.
With any of the above-described embodiments, it may be applied to the smart terminal 11 and the heat dissipation structure is enclosed in the housing of the smart terminal 11.
Since the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and the fan assembly 5 have certain energy consumption during operation, the intelligent terminal 11 further comprises a power supply module, which is different from a battery or a driving module built in the intelligent terminal 11, and is dedicated to driving elements of the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 and the fan assembly 5, and is electrically connected with the fan assembly 5 and the semiconductor refrigeration module 3. The power supply module is provided with a power supply interface, and can be externally connected with an external power supply, such as a charging head, to supply power to the fan assembly 5 and the semiconductor refrigeration module 3. When the intelligent terminal is used, the power supply module is electrically connected with the control module of the intelligent terminal 11 and is configured to start the fan assembly 5 and the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 to refrigerate when the temperature of the intelligent terminal 11 or the heating element 1 reaches a threshold value, and the fan assembly 5 and the semiconductor refrigeration module 3 do not consume electric energy of a battery when working in cooperation with an external power supply mode, so that the influence on the cruising of the battery can be reduced.
The intelligent terminal may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminals described in the present invention may include smart terminals such as mobile phones, smart phones, notebook computers, PDAs (personal digital assistants), PADs (tablet computers), PMPs (portable multimedia players), navigation devices, and the like, and fixed terminals such as digital TVs, desktop computers, and the like. In the following, it is assumed that the terminal is an intelligent terminal. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the configuration according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a fixed type terminal in addition to elements particularly used for a moving purpose.
