The refrigerant flows in the refrigerant pipe 42, and exchanges heat with the outside through the refrigerant pipe 42 and the substrate 41.
Further, the substrate 41 is suitable for being attached to a heat generating structure such as an electronic control module with high heat generation in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and is used for dissipating heat of the heat generating structure such as the electronic control module. The substrate 41 can effectively increase the heat exchange area of the heating structures such as the refrigerant and the electronic control module, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

The gravitational potential energy of the liquid refrigerant in the air outlet collecting pipe 5 is different from that of the liquid refrigerant in the liquid return collecting pipe 6, and the upward force of the gaseous refrigerant in the air outlet collecting pipe 5 is different from that of the gaseous refrigerant in the liquid return collecting pipe 6, so that the power of the circulation of the refrigerant in the pipeline loop can be increased, the self-circulation of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100 is facilitated, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100 can be further improved.
In addition, when the refrigerant ring 4 absorbs excessive heat to gasify all the liquid refrigerant in the refrigerant ring 4 into gaseous refrigerant, the situation that all the gaseous refrigerant in the air outlet collecting pipe 5 and the liquid return collecting pipe 6 simultaneously gushes up or all the liquid refrigerant simultaneously sinks due to the fact that the gravitational potential energy of the refrigerant in the air outlet collecting pipe 5 and the gravitational potential energy of the refrigerant in the liquid return collecting pipe 6 are the same can be avoided, so that the limit condition that the heat dissipation structure 100 is blocked by the refrigerant can be avoided, and the heat dissipation stability and the heat dissipation reliability of the heat dissipation structure 100 can be better ensured.
Preferably, the air outlet collecting pipe 5 is obliquely arranged relative to the horizontal plane, the liquid return collecting pipe 6 is obliquely arranged relative to the horizontal plane, the angle between the air outlet collecting pipe 5 and the horizontal plane is different from the angle between the liquid return collecting pipe 6 and the horizontal plane, and the height of the liquid return collecting pipe 6 is different from the height of the air outlet collecting pipe 5, so that the power of circulating flow of the refrigerant in a pipeline loop can be ensured, the self-circulation of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100 is facilitated, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100 can be better improved.

That is, the height of the end of the first inclined tube section 21 communicating with the heat exchange tube 11 is higher than the height of the end of the first inclined tube section 21 communicating with the refrigerant tube 42, thereby facilitating the downward and upward flow of the liquid refrigerant located in the radiator 1 and the gaseous refrigerant located in the refrigerant ring 4 by utilizing gravitational potential energy and density difference. The resistance of the first inclined tube section 21 to the downward flow of the liquid refrigerant and the upward flow of the gaseous refrigerant can be effectively reduced, so that the self-circulation of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100 is facilitated, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100 can be improved.

That is, the height of the end of the second inclined tube section 31 communicating with the heat exchange tube 11 is higher than the height of the end of the second inclined tube section 31 communicating with the refrigerant tube 42, thereby facilitating the downward and upward flow of the liquid refrigerant located in the radiator 1 and the gaseous refrigerant located in the refrigerant ring 4 by utilizing gravitational potential energy and density difference. The resistance of the second inclined tube section 31 to the downward flow of the liquid refrigerant and the upward flow of the gaseous refrigerant can be effectively reduced, thereby being beneficial to the self-circulation of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100 and further improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100.

If the angle between the first inclined tube section 21 and the horizontal plane is greater than 15 °, the first inclined tube section 21 is too inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the occupied space of the first inclined tube section 21 in the vertical direction is increased, the occupied space of the heat dissipation structure 100 is increased, and meanwhile, the processing and assembling difficulties of the air outlet tube 2 are also increased, which is not beneficial to the installation and use of the heat dissipation structure 100. The angle between the first inclined pipe section 21 and the horizontal plane is 0-15 degrees, which is beneficial to the self-circulation flow of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100, avoiding the overlarge occupied space of the heat dissipation structure 100 in the vertical direction and ensuring the convenience of the installation and the use of the heat dissipation structure 100.

If the angle between the second inclined pipe section 31 and the horizontal plane is greater than 6 °, the second inclined pipe section 31 is too inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the occupied space of the second inclined pipe section 31 in the vertical direction is increased, the occupied space of the heat dissipation structure 100 is increased, and meanwhile, the processing and assembling difficulties of the liquid return pipe 3 are also increased, which is not beneficial to the installation and use of the heat dissipation structure 100. The angle between the second inclined pipe section 31 and the horizontal plane is 0-6 degrees, which is beneficial to the self-circulation flow of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100, avoiding the overlarge occupied space of the heat dissipation structure 100 in the vertical direction, and ensuring the convenience of the installation and the use of the heat dissipation structure 100.
In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the angle between the first inclined tube section 21 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle between the second inclined tube section 31 and the horizontal plane. So that the gravitational potential energy of the liquid refrigerant in the air outlet pipe 2 is different from that of the liquid refrigerant in the liquid return pipe 3, and the upward force of the gaseous refrigerant in the air outlet pipe 2 is different from that of the gaseous refrigerant in the liquid return pipe 3, the power of the refrigerant circulating in the pipeline loop can be increased, thereby being more beneficial to the self-circulation of the refrigerant in the heat dissipation structure 100, and further improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 100.
