Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

The utility model discloses a discovery, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, different chips 200 in the same voltage layer are not in the same cross-sectional position on the arrangement path of the heat pipe 300, when the liquid cooling medium flows through each chip 200 in sequence, the heat of each chip 200 is taken away, and accordingly, on the path from the first chip 200 to the last chip 200 through which the liquid cooling medium flows, the temperature of the liquid cooling medium (or the heat pipe 300) is higher and higher, because the liquid cooling medium obtains more and more heat as the number of the chips 200 passing through increases, and the cooling effect of the liquid cooling medium on the chips 200 is weaker and weaker, so that on the path through which the liquid cooling medium flows, the temperature of the chips 200 tends to rise gradually from the first chip 200 to the last chip 200 through which the liquid cooling medium flows, as shown in fig. 2, there will be a large difference in temperature between different chips 200 in the same voltage plane. Because the performance of the chip is affected by the temperature of the chip, the temperature difference between different chips 200 in the same voltage layer can cause the performance difference between the chips 200, and then the low-performance chip will delay the work of the high-performance chip, thereby reducing the performance of the whole electronic computing device as a whole. The reason why the temperature difference between different chips 200 in the same voltage layer may cause the overall performance of the chips in the same voltage layer to be degraded is that: the chips in the same voltage layer are connected in parallel, the power supply voltage of each chip is the same, for the chips, the higher the temperature is, the higher the frequency is, the larger the power consumption is, the larger the heat productivity is caused, further the temperature of the chips is increased, further vicious circle is formed between the temperature and the frequency, meanwhile, the total current of the same voltage layer is certain, under the condition, the higher the chip frequency is, the larger the power consumption is, the larger the current is, further, the currents of other chips in the same voltage layer with lower temperatures are reduced, the working frequency of other chips in the same voltage layer with lower temperatures is reduced, the working frequency of each chip in the same voltage layer can not be in the best working frequency point finally, and the overall performance of the chips in the same voltage layer can not be. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new liquid cooling plate radiator and a computing device using the same.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, a liquid-cooled plate radiator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a radiator body 1 and a coolant flow passage 2. Wherein, coolant liquid runner 2 is located radiator body 1, as shown in fig. 4, and coolant liquid runner 2 is the region between two dotted lines, and it is to be explained that coolant liquid runner 2 is set up in radiator body 1's inside, promptly the utility model discloses a liquid cold plate radiator has hollow structure, and the sectional structure that fig. 5 shows is the schematic structure of the cross section of perpendicular to 2 extending directions of coolant liquid runner. In the embodiment of the present invention, the width of the cooling liquid channel 2 corresponds to the width occupied by each chip in the same voltage layer, for example, when at least two chips 200 are included in the same voltage layer, the width of the cooling liquid channel 2 is adapted to the width of at least two chips 200 arranged, for example, the width of the cooling liquid channel 2 is equal to or slightly greater than the width of at least two chips 200 arranged, for example, the dashed box shown in fig. 5 represents the chip 200, so that a plurality of chips 200 (for example, three chips 200 shown in fig. 5) can be arranged at the same cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the cooling liquid channel 2, and thus, when the cooling liquid flows through the cross section, because the temperature of the cooling liquid at the same position is consistent, it can be ensured that the temperatures of a plurality of chips 200 arranged at the same cross section position at the same time are kept substantially consistent.

In an alternative embodiment, two flow channel openings are provided on the same end face of the radiator body 1, which are in communication with the coolant flow channel 2. Because the flow passage opening through which the cooling liquid enters and exits needs to be formed in the liquid cooling plate radiator, the cooling liquid can be ensured to enter the cooling liquid flow passage 2 from one flow passage opening and leave the cooling liquid flow passage 2 from the other flow passage opening, and therefore the position of the flow passage opening which is reasonable in design in the liquid cooling plate radiator needs to be designed. Compare in setting up the runner opening respectively in the structure on the different terminal surfaces of radiator body 1, set up the runner opening on the same terminal surface of radiator body 1, can save the space of arranging the coolant liquid pipeline, also can further reduce the adoption based on this the utility model discloses the occupation space of the computing equipment of liquid cooling plate radiator realizes the effect that the more miniaturization of computing equipment integrates. Meanwhile, based on the structure that the flow passage opening is arranged on the same end face of the radiator body 1, the circuit interface of the PCB attached with the liquid cooling plate radiator can be arranged on the other side edge opposite to the flow passage opening, so that the circuit interface and the flow passage opening are prevented from being positioned on the same side to cause mutual interference, a larger space can be reserved on one side of the circuit interface, and management and maintenance of the circuit interface in the PCB are facilitated.

Combine the circuit structure of chip on the PCB board and the arrangement structure of ranks range the utility model discloses a further embodiment, the quantity of coolant liquid runner 2 is at least one, but each coolant liquid runner 2 sharp extension in radiator body 1, when the quantity of coolant liquid runner 2 is at least two, can be parallel arrangement each other between the coolant liquid runner 2, perhaps basic parallel arrangement.

The end portions of the flow guide and the other edge coolant flow passage that face in one direction in common communicate with each other. The end of the flow guide channel facing the other direction extends to the end face of the radiator body 1 to form the other of the two flow channel openings.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the number of the coolant flow channels 2 is four. The four coolant flow channels 2 are communicated with each other at the end portions facing the right direction together, and the four coolant flow channels 2 are communicated with each other at the end portions facing the left direction together, so that the four coolant flow channels 2 form a parallel flow channel. The coolant flow channel 2 at the upper side edge of the parallel flow channels extends toward the left direction to the end face of the radiator body 1 to form one of two flow channel openings, i.e., a first flow channel opening 31. The guide flow passage 4 is adjacent to and parallel to the coolant flow passage 2 at the lower side edge among the parallel flow passages. The flow guide 4 and the end of the coolant flow channel 2 of the lower side edge that face in the right direction together communicate with each other.

By adopting the structure, when the cooling liquid flows in from one of the flow passage openings and flows out from the other flow passage opening, the cooling liquid can be uniformly distributed in each cooling liquid flow passage 2, so that the heat of each chip can be taken away by the flowing cooling liquid, the balance of the temperature of all chips 200 is ensured on the whole, and the phenomenon that the temperature of the chips 200 at some local positions is too high due to the fact that the cooling liquid fails to reach or the flow of the cooling liquid is insufficient can be avoided.

FIG. 14 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional view of a cold plate heat sink in one embodiment. As shown in fig. 14, in an alternative embodiment, the cooling liquid flow channel 2 has a plurality of fin structures inside, and the extending direction of the fin is the same as the extending direction of the cooling liquid flow channel 2, and the fin structures can increase the contact area between the cooling liquid flow channel 2 and the cooling liquid flowing through the inside, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency of the whole liquid-cooled plate radiator.

In addition, in an alternative embodiment, the cross section of the cooling liquid channel 2 is rectangular, and the cross section of the cooling liquid channel 2 can be adjusted according to the circulation flow of the cooling liquid, so as to ensure that a sufficiently large convective heat transfer coefficient exists between the cooling liquid and the liquid cooling plate, that is, the reynolds number Re is ensured to be greater than 4000, so that the cooling liquid is in a turbulent flow state in the cooling liquid channel 2.

The comprehensive heat transfer formula for the chip heat dissipation can be known from heat transfer science as follows:

Q＝K·A·ΔT

wherein, Q is the heat dissipation (i.e., the heat generation of the chip 200), K is the overall heat transfer coefficient (related to the material heat conduction and the convective heat transfer efficiency of the cooling liquid and the cold plate), a is the heat transfer area (including the chip heat conduction area and the convective heat transfer area of the cooling liquid and the cold plate), and Δ T is the heat transfer temperature difference (i.e., the temperature difference between the chip temperature and the cooling liquid). Further, according to the above equation, when the amounts of heat generated from the chips are the same, the temperatures of K, A and the coolant are kept as uniform as possible, and the temperatures of the chips are equal to each other. Therefore, the utility model discloses liquid cooling plate radiator has realized arranging the many chips on same chip voltage layer side by side on a coolant liquid runner based on the theoretical guidance of this formula, ensures that the coolant liquid temperature that many chips on same chip voltage layer correspond is unanimous, and the width of coolant liquid runner covers all chips on same chip voltage layer, ensures that each chip heat radiating area on same chip voltage layer is close. For the same cooling liquid flow channel, under the condition of uniform flow of the inlet liquid of the cooling liquid, the flow velocity of the cooling liquid at each position in the cooling liquid flow channel is close to the same, and then the heat convection efficiency is close. In addition, the integrated circuit is combined with a circuit design, so that peripheral hardware structures of all chips are the same, the heat conduction of peripheral environments is ensured to be consistent, and the comprehensive heat exchange coefficients K of all chips in the same chip voltage layer are close to each other. Therefore, the temperature of each chip in the same chip voltage layer is close.

As shown in fig. 14, since the cross section of the coolant flow channel 2 is rectangular in the radiator body 1 in the alternative embodiment, and the cross section of the guide 4 is also rectangular in the alternative embodiment, the flow channel opening formed by the coolant flow channel 2 and the guide 4 extending to the end face of the radiator body 1 is rectangular in configuration, such as the first flow channel opening 31 and the second flow channel opening 32 shown in fig. 15. However, the coolant liquid pipeline that generally adopts the cross section outside the liquid cold plate radiator is the circular shape pipe, and the pipe with the embodiment of the utility model provides an in the cross-sectional area of coolant liquid runner 2 not match, consequently, need set up between coolant liquid pipeline and the runner opening outside the liquid cold plate radiator and can match coolant liquid pipeline and runner open-ended pipe fitting adapter simultaneously.
