The mobile power supply 200 includes a plurality of functional modules and the heat dissipating device 100. When the functional module is electrified and operated, heat is generated, and the heat needs to be emitted to ensure that the functional module stably operates. The heat dissipating device 100 is used for dissipating heat from a functional module. The heat dissipating device 100 conducts heat by contacting the functional module and dissipates the heat to the outside of the mobile power supply 200.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the heat sink device 100 may also be applied to other electronic devices (not shown).
In one embodiment, the plurality of functional modules includes an inverter module 101 and a power mechanism 103. The heat dissipating device 100 includes a first main heat dissipating plate 10, a second main heat dissipating plate 20, a first side heat dissipating plate 30, and a second side heat dissipating plate 40.

In one embodiment, the cooling medium is air, and it is understood that in other embodiments, the cooling medium may be a cooled air flow, or the cooling medium may be a liquid.
The first main heat dissipation plate 10 contacts the power supply mechanism 103 to absorb heat of the power supply mechanism 103 and conduct the heat to the circulation channel 50, and the cooling medium in the circulation channel 50 absorbs the heat and is discharged to the outside of the mobile power supply 200, so that heat dissipation of the power supply mechanism 103 by the heat dissipation device 100 is realized.

For example, in other embodiments, the power mechanism 103 is connected below the heat dissipating device 100, and the heat dissipating device 100 provides a lifting force to the power mechanism 103, so as to improve the stability of the power mechanism 103 and prevent the heat dissipating device 100 from pressing the power mechanism 103.
The mobile power supply 200 is located at two opposite sides of the heat dissipation device 100 through the first main heat dissipation plate 10 and the second main heat dissipation plate 20, which is beneficial to distributing functional modules at the periphery of the heat dissipation device 100, and is beneficial to ensuring that the areas of the first main heat dissipation plate 10 and the second main heat dissipation plate 20 at two opposite sides are equal or close, and is beneficial to distributing a plurality of functional modules with higher heat productivity at two opposite sides of the heat dissipation device 100, and the heat dissipation of the plurality of functional modules can be realized through one heat dissipation device 100, so that the layout compactness of the mobile power supply 200 is beneficial.

The heat sink apparatus 100 is fixed to the support body 107, and the flow passage 50 is configured to be exposed from the housing 109 to communicate with the outside.
The functional module is covered by the shell 109, so that the functional module is isolated from the outside, and further, liquid-solid impurities outside are prevented from entering the functional module, so that the mobile power supply 200 can work outdoors and adapt to outdoor climate change, for example, when raining, rainwater does not contact the functional module, and the heat dissipation device 100 is exposed to the outside, thereby accelerating heat dissipation.
Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the heat dissipating device 100 is provided with a plurality of partitions 60. The partition 60 extends in the penetrating direction of the flow channel 50. The plurality of partition portions 60 are provided in the flow channel 50 at intervals, and partition the flow channel 50 into a plurality of sub-channels 501.
The plurality of sub-channels 501 enable the air flow entering the heat dissipating device 100 to be dispersed in each sub-channel 501, and the volume of the sub-channel 501 is far smaller than that of the circulation channel 50 without the partition 60, so that the air flow in the sub-channel 501 moves along the penetrating direction, and the air flow in the sub-channel 501 drives heat to be dissipated to the outside in time. However, the air flow of the flow channel 50 without the partition 60 is dispersed in different directions, which results in a longer flow path of the air flow, and thus heat cannot be timely dissipated from the flow channel 50 to the outside.
In one embodiment, the partition 60 is connected to the first and second main heat dissipation plates 10 and 20 at opposite sides of the heat dissipation device 100, but is not limited thereto.

The heat conduction coefficient of the heat transfer part 70 is higher than that of the second main heat dissipation plate 20, so that the heat transfer part 70 can quickly transfer the heat of the heat generating part in the inverter module 101 to the second main heat dissipation plate 20, heat is prevented from being accumulated at the heat generating part of the inverter module 101, and the heat dissipation effect is improved.
