Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The disclosure generally relates to liquid cooling devices, and more particularly to a miniaturized liquid cooling device for dissipating heat generated by electronic components.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- With fast developments in electronic information industries, electronic components such as central processing units (CPUs) of computers are now capable of operating at much higher frequencies and speeds. As a result, the heat generated by these CPUs during normal operation is commensurately increased. If not quickly removed from the CPUs, this generated heat may cause them to become overheated and finally affect their workability and stability.
- In order to remove the heat of the CPUs and hence enable the CPUs to continue normal operation, cooling devices are provided on the CPUs to dissipate heat therefrom. A conventional cooling device includes an extruded heat sink combined with a fan. However, such kind of cooling device may be unsatisfactory for cooling a modern high-speed CPU. Nowadays, liquid cooling devices with high heat dissipation efficiencies are often used for dissipating heat generated by high frequency CPUs.
- A typical liquid cooling device generally includes a heat absorber absorbing heat from the CPU, a heat dissipater dissipating the heat to the surrounding environment, a plurality of tubes connecting the heat absorber with the heat dissipater, and a pump driving working fluid to circulate along the tubes between the heat absorber and the heat dissipater. However, the pump occupies a large volume, which increases the size of the liquid cooling device. This goes against the need for compact size in electronic products.
- What is needed, therefore, is a miniaturized liquid cooling device.
- Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIGS. 4-5 are essentially cross-sectional views illustrating a principle of an electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) effect, which principle is utilized by the liquid cooling device ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1-2 , a miniaturizedliquid cooling device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Theliquid cooling device 200 includes abase 20, a closedloop pipe 21 and a plurality ofelectrode units 22. Theliquid cooling device 200 is used for cooling anelectronic component 300. - The
base 20 is a rectangular plate made of glass or silicon. Thebase 20 defines aloop groove 201 in a top surface thereof. Theloop pipe 21 is formed on thebase 20 and located in theloop groove 201. Theloop pipe 21 is made of silicon nitride (Si3N4), and defines a loop passage therein. The loop passage of theloop pipe 21 is filled with a workingfluid 30. In this embodiment, theloop pipe 21 has a substantially rectangular frame shape, as viewed from above. Theloop pipe 21 includes aheat absorbing section 211, and an oppositeheat dissipation section 212. Theheat dissipation section 212 can be thermally connected to a cooling member via thebase 20. Theloop pipe 21 forms two substantiallyspherical reservoirs 213 at two diagonally opposite corners thereof, for storing the workingfluid 30. One of the tworeservoirs 213 defines aninjection hole 214 therein. The workingfluid 30 is filled into theloop pipe 21 through theinjection hole 214. Theinjection hole 214 is sealed by aplug 215. Theloop pipe 21 is integrally formed on thebase 20 by a wet etching method. That is, theloop pipe 21 is in contact with thebase 20, with theloop pipe 21 and thebase 20 forming portions of a single, unitary body. Referring also toFIG. 3 , ahydrophobic layer 216 made of Teflon® (polytetrafluoroethylene) is coated on an inner surface of theloop pipe 21 to make the surface hydrophobic. - The
electrode units 22 are formed on thebase 20 and spaced from each other along theloop pipe 21. Theelectrode units 22 are arranged along substantially an entire length of theloop pipe 21. In particular, theelectrode units 22 are arranged at substantially regular intervals along the entire length of theloop pipe 21. Eachelectrode unit 22 includes afirst electrode 221 and an oppositesecond electrode 222. Thefirst electrode 221 and thesecond electrode 222 of eachelectrode unit 22 are located at two sides of a pipe body of theloop pipe 21 to sandwich the pipe body of theloop pipe 21 therebetween. In particular, thefirst electrode 221 and thesecond electrode 222 of theelectrode unit 22 are indirectly connected to the pipe body of theloop pipe 21. A firstdielectric layer 23 is formed between thefirst electrode 221 and an outer surface of the pipe body of theloop pipe 21, and a seconddielectric layer 24 is formed between thesecond electrode 222 and the outer surface of the pipe body of theloop pipe 21. Thefirst electrode 221 and thesecond electrode 222 are integrally formed on thebase 20 via an etching method. - In one method of forming the
liquid cooling device 200, theelectrode units 22 are firstly formed on thebase 20. In this method, the first and the seconddielectric layers first electrode 221 and thesecond electrode 222 of eachelectrode unit 22. After that, theloop pipe 21 is formed on thebase 20. - In another method of forming the
liquid cooling device 200, theloop pipe 21 is firstly formed on thebase 20. In this method, the first and the seconddielectric layers loop pipe 21. After that, theelectrode units 22 are formed on thebase 20. - Referring back to
FIG. 2 , thefirst electrode 221 and thesecond electrode 222 of eachelectrode unit 22 are electrically connected to acontrol circuit 40 via a plurality ofelectrical wires 41. Theelectronic component 300 is attached to a bottom surface of thebase 20, and is located under theheat absorbing section 211 of theloop pipe 21. Heat generated by theelectronic component 300 is transferred to theheat absorbing section 211 of theloop pipe 21 via thebase 20, thereby heating the workingfluid 30 in theloop pipe 21. - Referring to
FIGS. 4-5 , the electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) effect is a phenomenon where a contact angle of a fluid segment or a fluid droplet varies when a voltage is applied on the fluid segment or fluid droplet (seeFIG. 5 ), whereas a contact angle of the fluid segment or fluid droplet remains as normal when no voltage is applied (seeFIG. 4 ). Therefore, when a voltage is applied on just one side of a fluid segment or fluid droplet, contact angles of two opposite sides of the fluid segment or fluid droplet become different from each other, which causes a difference between surface tensions of the two sides of the fluid segment or fluid droplet. The difference between the surface tensions drives the fluid segment or fluid droplet to move towards a place having higher voltage. - During operation of the
liquid cooling device 200, voltages are regularly applied on theelectrode units 22 via thecontrol circuit 40 so as to drive the workingfluid 30 to move along theloop pipe 21 under the EWOD effect. Thus the heated workingfluid 30 in theheat absorbing section 211 of theloop pipe 21 can be driven to theheat dissipation section 212 of theloop pipe 21. After releasing heat through the base 20 at theheat dissipation section 212 of theloop pipe 21, the cooled workingfluid 30 is driven back to theheat absorbing section 211 of theloop pipe 21. Thus the workingfluid 30 circulates in theliquid cooling device 200 under the EWOD effect to continuously dissipate heat from theelectronic component 300 to the surrounding environment. - The
liquid cooling device 200 can be manufactured by Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) manufacturing technology. Theliquid cooling device 200 is miniaturized and occupies a small size. Thus theliquid cooling device 200 can be used in compact electronic products such as notebook computers. The workingfluid 30 is driven to efficiently circulate in theloop pipe 21 under the EWOD effect. No mechanical pump exits in theliquid cooling device 200. Therefore, a quiet working environment is obtained. - It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
