Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a heat sink according to a first view of the present disclosure; fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a heat transfer circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the heat sink 100 according to the present disclosure includes at least three stepped heat dissipation plates, which are a condensation plate 110, a first evaporation plate 120, and a second evaporation plate 130 in sequence from top to bottom. The condensing plate 110 is provided therein with a first condensing line 211 and a second condensing line 212. The first evaporation plate 120 is connected to the condensation plate 110, and a first evaporation pipe 220 connected to the first condensation pipe 211 is disposed therein. The second evaporation plate 130 is connected to the first evaporation plate 120, and a second evaporation pipe 230 communicated with the second condensation pipe 212 is disposed therein. The first condensing line 211 and the first evaporating line 220 form a closed first heat transfer circuit through which a heat transfer medium flows, and the second condensing line 212 and the second evaporating line 230 form a closed second heat transfer circuit through which the heat transfer medium flows.

The first heat transfer loop and the second heat transfer loop are relatively independent. The heat transfer medium can flow through the closed first heat transfer circuit and the closed second heat transfer circuit. The liquid heat transfer medium can be evaporated into a gas state after absorbing heat, the gaseous heat transfer medium can be condensed into a liquid state after releasing heat, and the change between the phase states of the heat transfer medium in the closed heat transfer loop can generate pressure difference, so that the flow of the heat transfer medium is promoted.

Thus, the liquid heat transfer medium in the first evaporation pipeline 220 may absorb heat, vaporize into a liquid state, and then flow back to the first condensation pipeline 211, and the gaseous heat transfer medium emits heat in the first condensation pipeline 211, condenses and cools, and then becomes a liquid state, and then flows back to the first evaporation pipeline, and enters the next cycle. The liquid heat transfer medium in the second evaporation pipeline 230 may absorb heat and vaporize into liquid, and then flow back to the second condensation pipeline 212, and the gaseous heat transfer medium emits heat in the second condensation pipeline 212, condenses and cools, and then becomes liquid, and then flows back to the first evaporation pipeline, and enters the next cycle. In this way, the heat transfer media respectively circulate in the first heat transfer loop and the second heat transfer loop which are independent and closed, so that the rapid heat dissipation of different heating elements can be respectively realized, and the temperature difference of the heat transfer media in the first evaporation pipeline 220 and the second evaporation pipeline 230 is reduced due to the relative independence of the first heat transfer loop and the second heat transfer loop. Optionally, the heat transfer medium is a refrigerant.

Alternatively, the first and second condensing pipes 211 and 212 disposed inside the condensing plate 110, the first evaporating pipe 220 disposed inside the first evaporating plate 120, and the second evaporating pipe 230 disposed inside the second evaporating plate 130 constitute the heat exchanging pipe 200.

Alternatively, the heat exchange tubes 200 are formed by blowing air inside the condensing plate 110, the first evaporating plate 120, and the second evaporating plate 130. Therefore, compared with the mode of adopting an external circulating pipeline to transfer heat by the heat transfer medium, the occupied space can be reduced; moreover, the heat transfer medium absorbs and releases heat to generate flowing power in the transformation of different liquid and gaseous phases, so that the heat transfer medium is promoted to circularly flow in the heat exchange pipeline 200, and the heat transfer effect is good, so that the radiator 100 has a good radiating effect.

Optionally, the heat exchange line 200 is filled with a heat transfer medium after vacuum is drawn. Thus, the non-condensable gas is prevented from being mixed into the heat transfer medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the radiator 100 and the operation life of the radiator 100.

By adopting the radiator provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the heat transfer medium flows along the independent first heat transfer loop and the independent second heat transfer loop respectively, so that the first evaporation plate absorbs heat of the heating element and the second evaporation plate absorbs heat of the heating element. Like this, can realize respectively that the radiator evaporates the heat absorption to the space region of difference, improve the radiating efficiency of radiator to, because first condensation pipeline and second condensation pipeline's relatively independent, reduced the difference in temperature in first evaporation pipeline and the second evaporation pipeline, thereby promoted the radiating effect to the great heating element of thermal current density, and promoted the radiating effect to the heating element that can not with radiator direct contact.

Alternatively, the condensation plate 110 is inclined downward from an end away from the first evaporation plate 120 to an end connected to the first evaporation plate 120, and the inclination angle is greater than or equal to 3 °. In this way, smooth circulation of the heat transfer medium in the closed first and second heat transfer circuits is facilitated, that is, under the action of gravity and the downward inclination of the condensation plate 110, the flow of the liquid heat transfer medium from the condensation plate 110 into the first evaporation plate 120 is facilitated, and the circulation fluidity of the heat transfer medium in the first and second heat transfer circuits is improved.

Alternatively, the first evaporation plate 120 includes a first connection end connected to the condensation plate 110 and a second connection end connected to the second evaporation plate 130, and the first evaporation plate 120 is inclined downward from the first connection end to the second connection end by an angle greater than or equal to 3 °. In this way, smooth flow of the heat transfer medium downward in the first evaporation pipe 220 is facilitated, and the circulation fluidity of the heat transfer medium in the first heat transfer circuit is improved.

Optionally, the end of the second evaporation plate 130 connected to the first evaporation plate 120 is higher than the end of the second evaporation plate 130 far away from the first evaporation plate 120. This facilitates smooth downward flow of the liquid heat transfer medium into the second evaporation pipe 230, improving the circulation fluidity of the heat transfer medium in the second heat transfer circuit.

Optionally, the first evaporation plate 120 further includes a transition pipe 121, and the transition pipe 121 communicates the second condensation pipe 212 and the second evaporation pipe 230. Thus, the second condensing pipeline 212 and the second evaporating pipeline 230 can be communicated without laying an external circulating pipeline, and the occupied space is reduced. Optionally, the transition pipe 121 is formed by blowing and is in contact with the inside of the first evaporating plate 120, so that the processing is convenient and the operation is simple.

In some embodiments, the heat sink 100 further includes a first communication plate 140 and a second communication plate 150. The first communication plate 140 connects the condensing plate 110 and the first evaporating plate 120, and has a first communication path 240 therein. The first communication line 240 includes a first pipe 241 and a second pipe 242. The first pipe 241 is connected to the first condensing pipe 211 and the first evaporating pipe 220, and the second pipe 242 is connected to the second condensing pipe 212 and the transition pipe 121. The second communication plate 150 connects the first evaporation plate 120 and the second evaporation plate 130, and a second communication pipe 250 communicating the transition pipe 121 and the second evaporation pipe 230 is provided therein.

The first pipeline 241 of the first communication pipeline 240 is communicated with the first condensation pipeline 211 and the first evaporation pipeline 220 to form a closed first heat exchange loop, so that a heat transfer medium flows directionally in the first heat exchange loop, the heat transfer medium flows in a circulating manner in the condensation plate 110 and the first evaporation plate 120, the flow of the heat transfer medium is driven by pressure difference and temperature difference generated by the phase state transition of the heat transfer medium, and heat dissipation of parts needing heat dissipation is realized by the heat absorption of the heat transfer medium in the first evaporation plate 120 through evaporation. The second condensation pipeline 212 and the second evaporation pipeline 230 are communicated through the second pipeline 242, the transition pipeline 121 and the second communication pipeline 250 of the first communication pipeline to form a closed second heat exchange loop, so that the heat transfer medium flows directionally in the second loop, the circulating flow of the heat transfer medium between the condensation plate 110 and the second evaporation plate 130 is realized, the flow of the heat transfer medium is driven by the pressure difference and the temperature difference generated by the transformation of the phase states of the heat transfer medium, and the heat dissipation of the components needing heat dissipation is realized by the evaporation heat absorption of the heat transfer medium in the second evaporation plate 130.

Optionally, the number of first conduits 241 is greater than the number of second conduits 242. Thus, the amount of the heat transfer medium flowing into the first evaporation plate 120 can be ensured, sufficient heat transfer medium in the first evaporation pipeline 220 can be ensured for heat exchange, and the heat transfer efficiency of the first evaporation plate 120 can be ensured. Alternatively, in the case where the pipe diameters of the first and second pipes 241 and 242 are the same, the number of the first pipes 241 is greater than the number of the second pipes 242.

Optionally, the heat exchange line 200 further comprises a first communication line 240 and a second communication line 250. The heat exchange tube 200 is formed inside the condensing plate 110, the first communication plate 140, the first evaporating plate 120, the second communication plate 150 and the second evaporating plate 130 by inflation.

Alternatively, the cross-sectional shapes of the first condensation line 211, the second condensation line 212, the first evaporation line 220, the second evaporation line 230, the first communication line 240, and the second communication line 250 are rectangular. Thus, the circulation surface of the heat transfer medium in the heat exchange pipeline 200 can be enlarged as much as possible, the circulation flow of the heat transfer medium is improved, and the phase change of the heat transfer medium is facilitated. Alternatively, the first condensation line 211, the second condensation line 212, the first evaporation line 220, the second evaporation line 230, the first communication line 240, and the second communication line 250 have arc-shaped cross-sections. Thus, the flow dead zone of the heat transfer medium in the heat exchange pipe 200 can be reduced as much as possible, and the flow rate and the heat transfer efficiency of the heat transfer medium can be improved.

Alternatively, the condensation plate 110, the first evaporation plate 120 and the second evaporation plate 130 are an integrally formed structure; alternatively, the condensation plate 110, the first communication plate 140, the first evaporation plate 120, the second communication plate 150, and the second evaporation plate 130 are integrally formed. Thus, the integrally formed heat sink 100 has few welding points, reduces the risk of leakage of the heat transfer medium, reduces the cost of the heat sink 100, and improves the safety and reliability of the heat sink 100 during the packaging, transportation and operation of the heat sink 100 or the air conditioner.

Optionally, the first communication plate 140 is configured as a connecting plate having a curvature. Optionally, the first communication plate 140 is S-shaped. Therefore, the flow resistance of the heat transfer medium is reduced, the smooth flow of the heat transfer medium is facilitated, the flow dead zone of the heat transfer medium is reduced, the flow rate of the heat transfer medium is facilitated to be improved, the liquid working medium in the condensation plate 110 conveniently flows into the first evaporation plate 120 through the first communication plate 140, and the gaseous working medium in the first evaporation plate 120 conveniently flows back to the condensation plate 110. Optionally, the first communication plate 140 is S-shaped with a small curvature.

Alternatively, the second communication plate 150 is configured as a connection plate having a curvature. Optionally, the second communication plate 150 is S-shaped. Therefore, the flow resistance of the heat transfer medium is reduced, the smooth flow of the heat transfer medium is facilitated, the flow dead zone of the heat transfer medium is reduced, the flow rate of the heat transfer medium is facilitated to be increased, the liquid working medium flowing into the first evaporation plate 120 conveniently flows into the second evaporation plate 130 through the second communicating plate 150, and the gaseous working medium gasified in the second evaporation plate 130 conveniently flows back to the condensation plate 110. Alternatively, the second communication plate 150 is S-shaped with a small curvature.

Optionally, the connection between the first communication plate 140 and the condensation plate 110 and/or the first evaporation plate 120 is an arc connection; and/or the connection part of the second communication plate 150 and the first evaporation plate 120 and/or the second evaporation plate 130 is in arc connection. Thus, not only can the flow resistance of the heat transfer medium at the connection of the first communication plate 140 and the condensation plate 110 and/or the first evaporation plate 120 be reduced, but also the flow dead zone at the connection of the first communication plate 140 and the condensation plate 110 and/or the first evaporation plate 120 can be reduced, the flow rate of the heat transfer medium is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 100 is improved. Similarly, the flow resistance of the heat transfer medium at the connection between the second communication plate 150 and the first evaporation plate 120 and/or the second evaporation plate 130 can be reduced, the flow dead zone at the connection between the second communication plate 150 and the first evaporation plate 120 and/or the second evaporation plate 130 can be reduced, the flow rate of the heat transfer medium can be increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 100 can be improved.

Wherein the liquid line 270 extends to the inside of the first pipe 241 and is inclined upward. In this way, the adjustment of the gas pressure between the first condensation line 211 and the second condensation line 212 communicated through the gas line 260 can be achieved, and the gaseous heat transfer medium entering the first condensation line 211 or the second condensation line 212 is prevented from having an excessive pressure. In the case where the pressure of the first condensation line 211 is higher than that of the second condensation line 212, a part of the gaseous heat transfer medium in the first condensation line 211 enters the second condensation line 212 to be condensed into a liquid state and emits heat, and therefore, there is a possibility that the heat transfer medium in the first heat transfer circuit decreases and the heat transfer medium in the second heat transfer circuit increases. The first and second pipes 241 and 242 are communicated by a liquid pipe extending to the inside of the first pipe 241 and inclined upward, and the heat transfer medium condensed to a liquid state in the pipe of the second condensation pipe 212 flows into the second evaporation pipe 230 through the second pipe and simultaneously may flow into the first evaporation pipe 220 through the liquid pipe 270, and the liquid heat transfer medium in the first evaporation pipe 220 is supplemented to supplement the decrease of the heat transfer medium of the first heat transfer circuit due to the pressure difference of the first and second heat transfer circuits. The pressure difference between the first condensation pipeline 211 and the second condensation pipeline 212 can be balanced through the gas pipeline 260, and the amount of the liquid heat transfer medium in the first evaporation pipeline 220 and the second evaporation pipeline 230 can be balanced through the liquid pipeline 270, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved. Optionally, the tube diameter of the gas line 260 is larger than the tube diameter of the liquid line 270. Optionally, heat exchange line 200 further comprises a gas line 260 and a liquid line 270.

The first bottom sidewall 510 is attached to the upper surface of the first evaporation plate 120, and the second bottom sidewall 520 is attached to the upper surface of the second evaporation plate 130.

In this way, the first evaporation plate 120 and the second evaporation plate 130 can both dissipate heat of the component 600 to be dissipated, and absorb heat of the component 600 to be dissipated, thereby dissipating heat of the electronic control box 500 with a stepped bottom.

Thus, a portion of the liquid heat transfer medium is evaporated and absorbs heat in the first evaporation plate 120 to become gaseous, so as to achieve heat dissipation to the chip assembly 610; another portion of the liquid heat transfer medium flows into the second evaporation plate 130 and evaporates to absorb heat and change into a gaseous state, so as to dissipate heat of the component assembly 620. Optionally, the base 611 is disposed on the upper surface of the first bottom sidewall 510. Optionally, the base 611 is detachably coupled to the first bottom sidewall 510 such that it is mounted and dismounted on the heat sink 100. Alternatively, the base 611 may be disposed at the bottom of the electrical control box as a first bottom sidewall. In this way, the fixing between the chip assembly 610 and the heat sink 100 is achieved by the base 611, and the heat generated from the chip assembly 610 can be collected. The chip assembly 610 is disposed on the base 611, and when the chip assembly 610 generates heat, the heat can be transferred to the base 611, and then the heat can be transferred to the heat sink 100 through the base 611.

Optionally, the stepped second surface 6112 includes a lower step surface and a higher step surface, and the height of the higher step surface is higher than that of the lower step surface.

Optionally, the electronic control box 500 further includes a circuit board 530 disposed on an upper portion of the component 600 to be cooled. The chip 612 is connected to the circuit board 530. Alternatively, the component assembly 620 is a reactor that dissipates heat more, or an inductor, a capacitor, a PTC resistor, or the like that cannot directly dissipate heat in contact with the heat sink 100.

Fig. 9 is a schematic partial structural view of another outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 9, in some embodiments, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner further includes a fan bracket fixedly disposed at a lower portion of the condensing panel. That is, the condensation plate 110 of the radiator 100 is fixed to the fan bracket 700. Thus, the fixing of the condensation plate 110 of the heat sink 100 can be achieved, and the deformation of the heat sink 100 can be prevented. Alternatively, the axial flow fan is provided on the fan mount 700.

Alternatively, the heat sink 100 is disposed on an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and the condensation plate 110 is disposed on an airflow path of an axial flow fan of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Thus, the airflow generated by the axial flow fan can perform enhanced heat dissipation on the condensation plate 110, and the heat of the gaseous heat transfer medium in the condensation plate 110 can be rapidly dissipated to the surrounding environment, so that the gasification rate of the heat transfer medium in the condensation plate 110 is greatly improved.

As shown in fig. 9, the bottom of the condensation plate 110 is optionally provided with heat dissipation fins 310. The heat dissipation fins 310 are disposed at the bottom of the condensation plate 110, which is beneficial to accelerating the heat dissipation of the condensation plate 110, and can accelerate the heat dissipation of the gaseous heat transfer medium in the condensation plate 110 into the liquid heat transfer medium. The heat radiating fins 310 extend downward from the condensation plate 110. Thus, the contact area with the air is increased, the heat release is accelerated, and the heat can be released from the condensation plate 110 downward by the heat radiating fins 310.

Alternatively, the condensation plate 110 is positioned on an airflow path of an axial flow fan of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Thus, the airflow generated by the rotation of the cross flow fan passes through the condensation plate 110 and the heat dissipation fins 310, and the heat dissipation of the heat sink 100 is accelerated. Alternatively, the condensation plate 110 is positioned at an upper side of the airflow path of the axial flow fan, and the heat dissipation fins 310 extend downward from the condensation plate 110. In this way, the airflow can pass through the heat dissipating fins 310 as much as possible without affecting the air supply of the axial flow fan, so that the heat dissipation of the heat dissipating fins 310 is accelerated, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 100 is improved.
