【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は放熱器、さらに詳しくは、たとえばトランジスタ、サイリスタ等の半導体素子の熱を放熱するための放熱器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種放熱器として、片面に発熱体取付部を有する金属板の上面に放熱フィンが固着されたものが知られている(実公昭62−23091号参照)。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の放熱器においては、発熱体の熱は、金属板を介して放熱フィンに伝わるだけであり、フィンの上側部分が、十分に放熱の役割を果たしていない。したがって、放熱性能が十分ではないという問題があった。
【0004】
この発明の目的は、上記問題を解決し、放熱性能が向上した放熱器を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1の発明による放熱器は、相対向する2つの中空板状部、および両中空板状部を相互に連結する中空連結部を有するコ字状ヒートパイプと、ヒートパイプにおける相対向する中空板状部間に配され、かつ両中空板状部に接した状態で固着されている放熱フィンとを備えており、ヒートパイプが、逆L字状となされかつ長さ方向に伸びる複数の作動流体通路が並列状に設けられたアルミニウム押出形材製逆L字状偏平管と、逆L字状偏平管の垂直部の下端部にアルミニウム製ヘッダを介して接続されかつ長さ方向に伸びる複数の作動流体通路が並列状に設けられたアルミニウム押出形材製水平状偏平管とを備えているものである。
【0006】
この放熱器は、ヒートパイプの相対向する2つの中空板状部のうちのいずれか一方の中空板状部における放熱フィンと接している面とは反対側の面に発熱体が取付けられて用いられる。そして、発熱体の有する熱は、2つの中空板状部を経て放熱フィンに伝わる。したがって、放熱フィンの全ての部分が、十分に放熱の役割を果たし、従来のものに比べて放熱性能が向上する。
【0007】
請求項2の発明による放熱器は、請求項1の発明において、ヒートパイプの相対向する2つの中空板状部のうちのいずれか一方の中空板状部における放熱フィンと接している面とは反対側の面に発熱体が取付けられるようになされているものである。この場合、発熱体の有する熱は、ヒートパイプ内に封入された作動流体の相変化により他方の中空板状部に伝えられ、この中空板状部から放熱フィンに伝えられるとともに、発熱体の取付けられている中空板状部の周壁を介して放熱フィンに伝えられる。
【0008】
請求項3の発明による放熱器は、請求項2の発明において、ヒートパイプの発熱体が取り付けられる部分に複数の作動流体通路が形成されており、隣り合う作動流体通路の間の部分に発熱体がねじ止めされるようになされているものである。
請求項4の発明による放熱器は、請求項1〜3のうちのいずれかの発明において、水平状偏平管における隣接する作動流体通路どうしを仕切る全ての仕切壁のうちの1または複数の仕切壁が他の仕切壁よりも厚肉とされ、この厚肉仕切壁を利用して発熱体が取付けられるようになされているものである。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施形態を、図面を参照して説明する。
なお、以下の説明において、「アルミニウム」という語には、純アルミニウムの他にアルミニウム合金を含むものとする。また、以下の説明において、図1の上下、左右をそれぞれ上下、左右といい、これらの図の紙面表側を前、これと反対側を後というものとする。
図1および図2において、放熱器(40)は、正面から見て左方に開口したコ字状のヒートパイプ(41)を備えている。ヒートパイプ(41)は、正面から見て逆L字状となされ、かつ長さ方向に伸びる複数の作動流体通路(43)が並列状に設けられているアルミニウム押出形材製偏平管(42)と、逆L字状偏平管(42)の右垂直部(42a)の下端部にアルミニウム製ヘッダ(44)を介して接続され、かつ長さ方向に伸びる複数の作動流体通路(46)が並列状に設けられているアルミニウム押出形材製水平状偏平管(45)とを備えている。
【0010】
逆L字状偏平管(42)の上水平部(42b)の左端部は、全ての通路(43)が連通するようにアルミニウム製ヘッダ(6)に接続されている。水平状偏平管(45)の左端開口はアルミニウム製閉鎖部材(47)により閉鎖されている。また、水平状偏平管(45)における隣接する作動流体通路(46)どうしを仕切る全ての仕切壁(48)(48A)のうち幅方向の中央部の仕切壁(48A)は、他の仕切壁(48)よりも厚肉となっている。そして、両偏平管(42)(45)および両ヘッダ(6)(44)の内部が真空状となされるとともに作動流体が封入されることによりヒートパイプ(41)が形成されている。したがって、ヒートパイプ(41)は、相対向する上下の水平中空板状部(41A)(41B)と、両水平中空板状部(41A)(41B)の右端どうしを相互に連結する右垂直中空板状部(41C)(中空連結部)とを備えていることになり、下水平中空板状部(41B)が蒸発部、上水平中空板状部(41A)が凝縮部とそれぞれなっている。
【0011】
ヒートパイプ(41)の上下の水平中空板状部(41A)(41B)間に放熱フィン(49)が配され、かつ両水平中空板状部(41A)(41B)にそれぞれ接した状態でろう付されている。放熱フィン(49)は、左右方向に並んで配置された複数のフィン部材(50)よりなる。各フィン部材(50)は横断面両歯櫛状のアルミニウム押出形材製で、前後方向と平行になっている垂直板状茎部(50a)と、これの両面に上下方向に間隔をおいて一体に形成された複数の水平板状歯部(50b)とよりなる。そして、フィン部材(50)は、隣り合うものどうしの水平板状歯部(50b)先端どうしが突き合わさるように左右方向に並べられ、アルミニウムブレージングシート(9)を介してヒートパイプ(41)の上下水平中空板状部(41A)(41B)にそれぞれろう付されている。そして、放熱フィン(49)には、図示しないファンにより、前方から後方に向かって冷却風が送られるようになっている。
【0012】
ヒートパイプ(41)の下水平中空板状部(41B)の厚肉仕切壁(48A)と対応する部分に、その下面からねじ穴(11)が形成され、このねじ穴(11)に、発熱体(S)を貫通したねじ(12)がねじ嵌められるようになっており、これにより発熱体(S)が下水平中空板状部(41B)下面に取付けられている。
【0013】
発熱体(S)の熱は、ヒートパイプ(41)の下水平中空板状部(41B)の周壁および仕切壁(48)(48A)を介して放熱フィン(49)に伝わり、フィン(49)から放熱される。また、これと同時に、発熱体(S)の熱は、作動流体の相変化により上水平中空板状部(41A)に伝えられ、ここから放熱フィン(49)に伝えられ、フィン(49)から放熱される。
【0014】
上記において、偏平管(45)の全ての仕切壁(48)(48A)のうち幅方向の中央部のものが厚肉仕切壁(48A)とされ、この厚肉仕切壁(48A)を利用して発熱体(S)が取付けられるようになっているが、他の1つの仕切壁を厚肉としたり、あるいは複数の仕切壁を厚肉とし、これらの厚肉仕切壁を利用して発熱体(S)を取付けてもよい。
なお、上記実施形態において、放熱フィンの形状は、図示したものに限定されるものではなく、適宜変更可能である。
【0015】
