And outlet means 121b are provided at both ends, respectively. Here, the coolant may be, for example, cooling water, and the coolant is not necessarily limited thereto, and various fluids for transmitting cold air may be used. In addition, a heat dissipation device that requires cooling by generating heat is a device that generates heat energy when used for a predetermined purpose rather than a device for heat dissipation. For example, the heat dissipation device may be a DC-DC converter or an inverter for an electric vehicle. It may be a variety of heat dissipating device. The pipe member 121 may be formed of, for example, a hollow tube made of metal such as aluminum, iron, or an alloy thereof. In this embodiment, the water supply end 121a and the discharge means 121b protrude from the casing body 110 to one side. It is formed, but not necessarily limited to, it is exposed to the outside from the casing body 110 to be connected to each of the pipes for supply and discharge of the refrigerant.

The pipe member 121 has a boundary protrusion 124 along the outer circumferential surface of each of the water supply end 121a and the discharge means 121b so as to show a boundary between the insertion portion of the casing body 110 and the portion protruding from the casing body 110.

The casing body 110 may be formed such that the refrigerant pipe 120 is embedded by gravity casting, for example, with the refrigerant pipe 120 positioned in the mold. In order to insert the refrigerant pipe 120 into the casing body 110, the refrigerant pipe 120, which serves as a core in a state in which the casting mold is open, is fixed in the casting mold, and then the casting mold is closed. Gravity casting is performed after this time. At this time, in order to prevent separation of the refrigerant pipe 120, a minimum structure is installed in a casting mold around the refrigerant pipe 120 so that the refrigerant pipe 120 is firmly fixed. To help. In addition, the refrigerant pipe 120 is installed in the casting mold during the gravity casting process to provide a path for the refrigerant to pass through to prevent thermal damage, thereby preventing deformation or melt damage due to the temperature of the gravity casting. Therefore, the refrigerant pipe 120 is inserted into the casing body 110 when the gravity casting is formed to be integrated into the receiving portion 111 corresponding to the space for accommodating the casing body 110, thereby forming a casing body. By maximizing the contact efficiency with the 110, the heat exchange efficiency with the casing body 110 can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 4, the casing main body 110 has a coating thickness from the outer side of the refrigerant pipe 120 to a thickness smaller than that of the inner side, and the side surface of the refrigerant pipe 120 protrudes from the outer side. As a result, the coating part 112 formed at the outside to fill the refrigerant pipe 120 protrudes to correspond to the side shape of the refrigerant pipe 120 to form a curvature, thereby forming curvature relative to a plane. The contact area with the outside air can be enlarged.

The casing body 110 may have, for example, a mounting portion 115 for assembling the components of the heat dissipation device on the opposite side of the one side in which the refrigerant pipe 120 is embedded in a groove or space shape.

The casing body 110 may include a protrusion 114 in which portions respectively covering both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120 protrude from the side portion. Therefore, the protrusion 114 may protrude to surround each of both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120 to guide the fixing force of the water supply stage 121 and the outlet means 122 provided at both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120. .

Exposed from 110, the bending part 122 is formed by bending to change the flow direction of the refrigerant in the pipe member 121, reinforcement while increasing the junction area with the casing body 110 in the pipe member 121 For this purpose, the protrusion 123 may be formed along the longitudinal direction.

The refrigerant pipe 120 may be formed by a plurality of bending parts of the concentrator 125 located at a portion for cooling concentration in the casing body 110. Here, the tubular member 121 is a boundary protrusion along the outer circumferential surface of each of the water supply end 121a and the discharge means 121b so as to show a boundary between the insertion portion of the casing body 110 and the portion protruding from the casing body 110. 124 can be formed. In addition, the refrigerant pipe 120 may be formed with one or a plurality of protrusions 123 on the side. Since the coolant pipe 120 is the same as the casing buried coolant pipe 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above, the description of the coolant pipe 120 for buried the casing according to an embodiment of the present invention I will replace it.

Refrigerant pipe 120 may be formed on the thermal deformation reduction layer (127, 128) by plating, coating or painting to reduce the thermal deformation in the gravity casting process on any one or both of the inner surface and the outer surface.

The heat deformation reducing layers 127 and 128 may not withstand the temperature of the melt during the gravity casting process when the refrigerant pipe 120 is made of aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) to improve processing and thermal conductivity, such as bending. In order to prevent this, a refrigerant such as air is supplied to the inside during gravity casting. In order to increase heat resistance, various heat and strength, including heat-resistant materials such as cobalt, iron, and silicon, are prevented. The reinforcing material may be formed on the inner side or the outer side of the refrigerant pipe 120 by plating, coating or painting, and a suitable forming method may be selected according to the heat resistant material. In addition, the heat deformation reducing layers 127 and 128 are formed on the inner side as well as the outer side of the refrigerant pipe 120 in this embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the casing manufacturing method of a heat dissipation device in which a refrigerant pipe is embedded according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, an inner side of a casting mold 210 forming a cavity 211 corresponding to the casing body 110 is provided. The refrigerant pipe 120 is installed to expose both ends to the outside (S11). Therefore, the refrigerant pipe 120 is installed in the cavity 211 of the casting mold 210. At this time, the refrigerant pipe 120 may be fixed at a predetermined position by the frame or the structure of the casting mold 210, if such a difficult to fix, using a separate fixing member provided on the outside of the casting mold (210) You can also

After the fixing of the refrigerant pipe 120, the first and second branch ends 241 and 242 of the supply line 240 are connected to supply refrigerant to both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120 (S12). In this case, the first and second branch ends 241 and 242 may be detachably connected to both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120 using the sockets 245 and 246, respectively.

First and second branch ends 241 and 242 are respectively connected to both ends of the refrigerant pipe 120 (S12), and then supplied from one of the cooling supply unit 220 or the heating supply unit 230 through the supply line 240. The pressure of the cooling air or heating air may be adjusted to the first or second regulators 281 and 291 by the control of the fifth and sixth control valves 282 and 292 (S13).

For example, the first and fourth control valves 243 and 261 are opened, and the second and third control valves 244 and 251 are blocked (S14). . On the other hand, the air supplied through the supply line 240 is to be transported to be supplied by the air transfer unit 270 corresponding to any one of the blower, compressor or compressed air storage container installed in the supply line 240 as in this embodiment Can be. In addition, the air supplied through the supply line 240 may be transported to be supplied by the air transfer unit 340 corresponding to the vacuum pumps installed on the first and second discharge lines 241 and 242 as another example.

Then, by injecting molten metal into the molten metal (not shown) of the casting mold 210, the casing body 110 is molded by the cavity 211 (S15).

By switching the operations mutually, the supply and discharge sides of the air to the refrigerant pipe 120 are alternately changed (S17).

Before the first set time elapses (S16), each of the first and second temperature sensors 321 and 322 which are installed on the side adjacent to the end of the refrigerant pipe 120 at the first and second branch ends 241 and 242, respectively. If the value deviation is out of the predetermined range (S18), the supply and discharge side of the air to the refrigerant pipe 120 is switched, and the first set time is initialized to newly count (S17). Herein, the predetermined range may be a range of temperature deviation between the first and second temperature sensors 32 and 322, which may cause product defects or quality deterioration due to temperature nonuniformity of the refrigerant pipe 120.

After switching between supply and discharge sides of the air to the refrigerant pipe 120 (S17), when the rate of decrease of the measured value deviation during the second set time is smaller than the set value, the air is supplied from the first and second regulators 281 and 291. It is determined whether the pressure is set to a large (S20), and if it is set to a large (S21), if it is set to a small (S22) to control the fifth and sixth control valve to be set to a large. Here, the first regulator 281 may have a first set pressure of 0.01 ~ 1kgf / ㎠, the second regulator 291 may have a second set pressure of 1 ~ 2kgf / ㎠. In addition, the second set time has a shorter time than the first set time, for example, 5 to 10 seconds.

When the third set time elapses (S23), the supply and switching of the refrigerant are stopped, where the third set time is a time that does not require the supply of the refrigerant to the refrigerant pipe 120 after the injection of the column, Different types and specifications may be determined.

On the other hand, when the gravity casting is finished, when the casing body 110 is separated from the casting mold 210, the refrigerant pipe 120 is embedded in the casing body 110.
