Embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a heat dissipation mechanism 100 applied to an energy storage device 200, where the energy storage device 200 includes a substrate 21 and a heating element 22 disposed on the substrate 21. The heat dissipation mechanism 100 can dissipate heat of different heating elements 22 on the substrate 21, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the internal structure of the energy storage device 200.
Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the substrate 21 has a mounting surface 211, the heating elements 22 are disposed on the mounting surface 211, and the mounting surface 211 is provided with a plurality of heating elements 22.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in an embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 100 includes a first heat sink 11 and a second heat sink 12. The first heat sink 11 is fixed to the substrate 21 and is spaced apart from the heating element 22. This arrangement enables the first heat sink 11 to dissipate heat from the substrate 21. The first heat sink 11 can not only radiate heat from the heating element 22 by its own heat radiation effect, but also the first heat sink 11 and the heating element 22 are separated from each other, and the heat radiation is performed by air flow between the first heat sink 11 and the heating element 22.
The second heat sink 12 is connected to the first heat sink 11 and movable relative to the first heat sink 11, the second heat sink 12 being configured to fit the heating element 22. This arrangement can facilitate adjusting the position of the second heat sink 12 according to the position of the different heating elements 22 when the heat dissipating mechanism 100 is assembled to the energy storage device 200, so that the second heat sink 12 can better provide heat dissipation for the heating elements 22.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in an embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 100 further includes a locking member (not shown) that is configured to penetrate through the mounting hole 121 and fix the second heat dissipation member 12 to the first heat dissipation member 11, and the locking member is detachably connected to the first heat dissipation member 11. For example, the locking member clamps the second heat sink 12 together with the first heat sink 1 so that the second heat sink 12 is fixed with the first heat sink 11.
In an embodiment, the locking member is a screw, the first heat sink 11 is provided with a plurality of through holes 111, the inner wall of each through hole 111 is provided with threads, the locking member and the first heat sink 11 are connected by adopting threads, and the screw penetrates through the mounting hole 121 and passes through one of the through holes 111, so that the second heat sink 12 is fixed on the first heat sink 11. By loosening the screws and mating the screws with different through holes 111, the position of the second heat sink 12 can be adjusted to adapt the second heat sink 12 to the heating elements 22 in different positions.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the locking member may be a bolt or pin.
The locking member can fix the second heat sink 12 to the first heat sink 11 to achieve connection of the first heat sink 11 and the second heat sink 12. The locking member is detachable from the first radiator 11, so that the second radiator 12 can be unlocked from the first radiator 11, and the position of the second radiator 12 can be adjusted. After the second radiator 12 is moved to a desired position according to the position of the heating element 22, the locking member penetrates through the mounting hole 121 and is connected with the first radiator 11, so that the second radiator 12 is fixed on the first radiator 11, and therefore position adjustment of the second radiator 12 is achieved. Through the cooperation of the locking piece and the mounting hole 121 on the second radiator 12, the position of the second radiator 12 can be adjusted, so that the second radiator 12 can radiate heat of the heating element 22 at different positions on the circuit board.
It will be appreciated that, in the case where a plurality of second heat sinks 12 are provided to the same first heat sink 11, the number of locking pieces is the same as and corresponds to the number of second heat sinks 12 one by one. Each locking member is capable of securing a corresponding second heat sink 12 to the first heat sink 11.
In an embodiment, the same second heat sink 12 may also be fixed by two locking members to improve the mounting stability of the second heat sink 12.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in an embodiment, the first heat spreader 11 is disposed on the mounting surface 211, a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 211 is a first direction Y, and a length direction of the mounting hole 121 is consistent with the first direction Y. In this way, the locking member can be correspondingly adjusted according to the heights of different heating elements 22 along the first direction Y, so that the locking member penetrates through different positions in the mounting hole 121, and the height of the second radiator 12 can be adjusted, so that the second radiator 12 can adapt to the heights of different heating elements 22.
It will be appreciated that in another embodiment, the length direction of the mounting hole 121 may also be arranged perpendicular to the first direction Y. The positioning can adjust the position of the locking member in the mounting hole 121 according to the positions of different heating elements 22 on the substrate 21, so that the suitability of the second radiator 12 and the heating elements 22 at different positions on the mounting surface 211 is improved. For example, the first heat sink 11 may be rectangular parallelepiped, the height direction of the first heat sink 11 may be aligned with the first direction Y, and the second heat sink 12 may be disposed on different sides of the first heat sink 11 such that the longitudinal direction of the mounting hole 121 may be aligned with the first direction Y, or such that the longitudinal direction of the mounting hole 121 may be aligned with the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the first heat sink 11.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, for example, the mounting hole 121 is a long waist hole, and the first heat sink 11 is provided with a fixing hole 112. In the mounting, the locking member is first passed through the mounting hole 121 and the fixing hole 112, and before the locking member is fixed, the second heat sink 12 is moved in the length direction of the mounting hole 121, that is, the second heat sink 12 is moved relative to the locking member, so that the relative positions of the second heat sink 12 and the locking member are changed. In adjusting the second radiator 12, the position of the locking member does not need to be changed, the locking member does not need to be completely detached, and the locking member only needs to be released so that the second radiator 12 can move relative to the locking member. It is obvious that only one fixing hole 112 is correspondingly arranged on each second radiator 12 to change the position of the second radiator 12. Of course, in order to improve the mounting stability of the second heat sinks 12, each of the second heat sinks 12 may correspond to two fixing holes 112 and may be connected to the first heat sink 11 through two locking members, and the provision of two fixing holes 112 may also increase the movable range of the second heat sink 12.
It will be appreciated that in other implementations, the number of securing holes 112 is not limited thereto and may be set according to the particular implementation.
Referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment, a plurality of second heat sinks 12 are provided, and the plurality of second heat sinks 12 are disposed on different sides of the first heat sink 11. For example, the first heat sink 11 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, two second heat sinks 12 are provided, and the two second heat sinks 12 are provided on two surfaces of the first heat sink 11 perpendicular to each other. The plurality of second heat sinks 12 can simultaneously radiate heat from the heating elements 22 located on different sides of the first heat sink 11, so that the heat radiation efficiency of the heat radiation mechanism 100 on the heating elements 22 on the substrate 21 is improved.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in an embodiment, the second heat sink 12 includes a heat dissipating portion 122 and a mounting portion 123, the mounting hole 121 is disposed on the mounting portion 123, the heat dissipating portion 122 has a heat dissipating surface 1221, and the heat dissipating surface 1221 is configured to be attached to the heat generating element 22. The shape of the heat dissipating surface 1221 may be set according to the surface shape of the heating element 22 to improve the adhesion between the heat dissipating surface 1221 and the surface of the heating element 22. For example, the heating element 22 is an inductor, and the inductor has an arc surface, and the radiating surface 1221 is also an arc surface adapted to the surface of the inductor.
The heat dissipation portion 122 is attached to the heating element 22 via the heat dissipation surface 1221, so that the contact area between the heat dissipation portion 122 and the heating element 22 can be increased, and the heat of the heating element 22 can be transferred to the heat dissipation portion 122, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat sink 12 to the heating element 22.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in an embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 100 further includes a heat conducting member 13, the heat conducting member 13 is disposed on the heat dissipation surface 1221, and the heat conducting member 13 is configured to be attached to the heat generating element 22. The heat conductive member 13 is directly attached to the heat generating element 22 with respect to the heat radiating surface 1221, and serves as a medium for heat conduction between the heat radiating surface 1221 and the heat generating element 22, so that the heat generating element 22 can be radiated more quickly, and the heat radiation efficiency can be further improved.
In one embodiment, the heat conducting member 13 is a heat conducting paste, which is a high-performance paste-like heat conducting material having ultra-low thermal resistance. The heat conductive mud has good adhesion to the heat radiation surface 1221, and can increase the contact area with the heat radiation surface 1221, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat radiation surface 1221 and the second heat sink 12, and further improving the heat radiation efficiency of the heat radiation part 122 to the heating element 22.
In another implementation, the heat conducting member 13 may also be a heat conducting pad. The heat conduction gasket has strong flexibility, can well cover uneven surfaces of parts, has longer service life, and is beneficial to long-term use of equipment. The heat conduction principle is that the temperature of the heating element 22 rises in the use process, so that the heat conduction gasket becomes soft and creeps, and the effect of increasing the contact area is achieved.
In other embodiments, the heat conducting member 13 may also be a heat conducting silica gel, which has good heat conductivity, electrical insulation property, and can be adhered to the second heat sink 12 and the heating element 22.
The second heat sink 12 and the first heat sink 11 can be relatively moved, so that the position of the second heat sink 12 can be adjusted according to the position of the heating element 22, and the second heat sink 12 can better provide heat dissipation effect for the heating element 22 at different positions on the substrate 21.

The inverter module 24 includes a substrate 21 and a plurality of heating elements 22, and the heating elements 22 are distributed on the substrate 21. The first heat sinks 11 are also provided with a plurality of second heat sinks 12, and the number of the second heat sinks 12 on each first heat sink 11 is set according to actual needs.

In the energy storage device 200, the position of the second radiator 12 in the heat dissipation mechanism 100 is adjusted, so that the second radiator 12 can dissipate heat of the heating elements 22 at different positions on the substrate 21, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the internal structure of the energy storage device 200, and making the energy storage device 200 difficult to be damaged due to the over high internal temperature.
