The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.
Referring first to fig. 1, fig. 1 is an exploded view of some embodiments of a heat dissipation device of a domain controller according to the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of some embodiments of a heat sink of a domain controller according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the heat dissipating device of the domain controller includes a cold storage module 2, 3 semiconductor refrigeration modules 3, and heat sinks 4 stacked on the domain controller 1. The above components may be connected by thermally conductive silicone grease. Although the above-mentioned semiconductor cooling assemblies in the drawings are illustrated as 3, this is not the only one, and those skilled in the art can make adjustments to the number of semiconductor cooling assemblies without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
The cold storage module 2 is connected to the domain controller 1 for storing and transferring heat of the domain controller 1. As an example, the cold storage assembly may be provided with a case and a cold storage agent for releasing cold in a high temperature state while transferring heat generated from the domain controller.
Optionally, the upper end (the end facing the semiconductor refrigeration component) of the cold storage component 2 is provided with a first fin, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
Continuing to refer to fig. 1 and 2, a base 21 is disposed on the first fin, and the base 21 is used to connect with the semiconductor cooling device 3. By way of example, the base can be provided with a connecting hole, and a connecting pin is arranged at the bottom of the semiconductor refrigeration assembly. In an assembled state, the connecting pin is detachably inserted into the connecting hole. Thereby making the semiconductor refrigeration assembly easier to install and replace.
Referring next to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor cooling module of a heat dissipation device of a domain controller according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the semiconductor refrigeration assembly 3 includes two sets of refrigeration units. Each refrigeration unit comprises an N-type semiconductor element 31 and a P-type semiconductor element 32. In the refrigeration unit, the first end (upper end shown in fig. 3) of the N-type semiconductor element 31 and the first end of the P-type semiconductor element 32 are connected by a conductive member 37. The conductive member 37 may be a copper sheet or the like. The second end (lower end shown in fig. 3) of the P-type semiconductor element 32 and the second end of the N-type semiconductor element 33 in the adjacent refrigeration unit are connected by a conductive member 37. In the assembled state, the second end of the N-type semiconductor element 31 of the refrigeration unit at the most upstream (leftmost end shown in fig. 3) is connected to the positive power supply. The second end of the P-type semiconductor element 34 of the most downstream refrigeration unit is connected to the negative pole of the power supply. The above power supply may be configured by the domain controller 1. The semiconductor refrigeration assembly is connected through a lead. During the energization, since the work of overflow of the N-type semiconductor element 31 and the P-type semiconductor element 32 is different, a peltier phenomenon occurs in the process of passing a current from the N-type semiconductor element 31 to the P-type semiconductor element 32, and a heat absorption phenomenon occurs at the first end (upper end shown in fig. 3) of the semiconductor cooling module 3. When current flows from the P-type semiconductor device 32 to the N-type semiconductor device 33, a heat dissipation phenomenon occurs at the second end (the lower end shown in fig. 3) of the semiconductor cooling module 3. Thereby forming a cold end at the first end of semiconductor refrigeration assembly 3 and a hot end at the second end of semiconductor refrigeration assembly 3. The cold end is disposed toward the cold storage module 2 so that the heat generated by the domain controller 1 can be cooled. It should be noted that, although fig. 3 illustrates two refrigeration units as an example, this is not the only one. The number of refrigeration units can be adjusted by the skilled person according to the actual situation.
Optionally, the first and second ends of the semiconductor refrigeration assembly may also be provided with insulating ceramics (36, 36 shown in fig. 3) that perform the insulating and heat dissipating functions.
The heat sink 4 can transmit heat generated at the second end of the semiconductor refrigeration assembly, so as to realize a heat dissipation effect. Alternatively, the upper end (end facing away from the domain controller) of the heat sink 4 may be provided with a second fin.
Further, temperature sensors (not shown in the drawings) may also be provided on the cold storage package 2 and the heat sink 4. The temperature sensor is connected to the domain controller 1. The temperature sensor is used for detecting temperature information of the cold storage component 2 and the heat sink 4. When the temperature represented by the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset threshold, the domain controller 1 can control the power supply to adjust the current output to the semiconductor refrigeration component 3, so as to adjust the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration unit. The heat dissipation device is higher in heat dissipation efficiency, meanwhile, the refrigerating capacity can be adjusted more pertinently, and the power consumption is more reasonable. The preset threshold value may be determined through repeated experiments. The adjustment can be carried out by a person skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
The heat sink of the domain controller according to the present disclosure can actively cool heat generated by the domain controller by the peltier effect generated by the N-type semiconductor element and the P-type semiconductor element of the refrigeration unit when a current flows therethrough. The heat dissipation capability is improved.
Meanwhile, the temperature sensors are arranged on the cold accumulation assembly and the cooling fins, so that the current generated by the power supply can be adjusted by the domain controller according to the temperature information collected by the temperature sensors, and the refrigerating capacity of the refrigerating unit is adjusted. Thereby improving the flexibility and intelligence degree of the heat dissipation device. The power consumption is reduced, and the reliability of the heat dissipation device is improved.
