Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-222930 filed on Sep. 30, 2010, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The embodiments disclosed herein are related to a heat relay mechanism that relays heat generated inside an apparatus and to a heat-dissipating fin unit provided with the heat relay mechanism.
- With recent-year demands for higher performance and smaller installation spaces, apparatuses to be installed outdoors, such as a mobile communications base station, have problems relating to heat generated thereinside. If the packing density of a circuit is increased for higher performance and space-saving, the amount of heat generated from devices included in the circuit increases correspondingly. Furthermore, such an apparatus has a reduced space thereinside and easily becomes filled with the heat generated from the devices. Therefore, the devices are provided with heat-dissipating fins as means for dissipating heat generated inside the apparatus to the outside, whereby the heat generated from the devices is dissipated. Some apparatuses include heat pipes functioning as heat-transporting elements through which heat from the heat-dissipating fins is conducted to casings of the apparatuses, and the heat is further dissipated from the casings to the outside.
- The amount of heat transportable through a heat pipe is determined by the radius of the pipe. If the radius of the pipe is increased, the size of the apparatus tends to increase correspondingly. Therefore, it is desirable to increase the heat transport capacity without changing the radius of the heat pipe. In this respect, there is a known technique of increasing the heat transport capacity by applying an organic substance to the inner surface of a heat pipe so as to increase the wettability.
- Apparatuses to be installed outdoors may be exposed to environments near the equator and in the desert, for example, with large amounts of sunlight and at high ambient temperatures. Therefore, circuits provided in such apparatuses are desired to operate even at, for example, 55° C. In this respect, sunshades or cooling fans may be added to the apparatuses so as to cool the insides of the apparatuses. Nevertheless, the sunshades may prevent smooth dissipation of heat generated from the apparatuses themselves. Meanwhile, the addition of cooling fans leads to additional power consumption. Moreover, there arise problems such as noise generated by the operation of the fans and the warranty periods of bearings of the fans.
- The followings are reference documents.
- According to an aspect of the embodiment, a heat relay mechanism includes a heat-dissipating member for dissipating heat, a buffer member contacted with the heat-dissipating member at a first surface, a thermally deformable member connected to a second surface of the buffer member and deforms at a high temperature, a heat pipe connected to the thermally deformable member at one end, and a device connected to another end of the heat pipe.
- The object and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the claims.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.

FIG. 1 illustrates a heat relay mechanism provided in an apparatus, such as a mobile communications base station, to which the technique according to the present disclosure is applied. An apparatus casing 1 houses a power semiconductor device (not illustrated), such as a laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) or a gallium-nitride (GaN) semiconductor, that is typically employed in power amplifier circuits included in mobile phone base stations based on MOS, and the like. Since the power semiconductor device generates a large amount of heat, the power semiconductor device is provided with a heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 with a fin-side heat pipe 20 interposed therebetween. The heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 is made of metal, such as copper or aluminum, having a high thermal conductivity. The fin-side heat pipe 20 is in contact with a plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 that is deformable with heat. The thermallydeformable component 3 is bimetal, shape-memory plastic, or the like. - The thermally
deformable component 3 is provided on one side thereof with abuffer sheet 4. Thebuffer sheet 4 is pasted on a contact portion of the thermallydeformable component 3 that is in contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20. Heat of the fin-side heat pipe 20 is temporarily stored in thebuffer sheet 4 and is subsequently conducted to the thermallydeformable component 3. Thebuffer sheet 4 is a commercially available thermal sheet or a sheet member made of a polymer material having a higher thermal resistance than the thermal sheet. One end of the thermallydeformable component 3 opposite the contact portion is fixed to the apparatus casing 1 with afirst block 61. Theblock 61 functions as a point of support when the thermallydeformable component 3 deforms with heat. - The
block 61 is provided with aheat pipe 5 fixed to one side thereof opposite the side on which the thermallydeformable component 3 is fixed. Theheat pipe 5 is filled with a liquid heat carrier and includes thereinside a wick (capillary) structure. In theheat pipe 5, when heat is input to an evaporator portion, the liquid heat carrier evaporates and moves to a condenser portion, where the evaporated heat carrier is condensed and liquefied; the liquefied heat carrier flows back to the evaporator portion by capillary action caused by the wick structure. The heat inputted to the evaporator portion is dissipated as a thermal output from the condenser portion. One end of theheat pipe 5 opposite the end fixed to theblock 61 is fixed to the apparatus casing 1 with asecond block 62. Theblock 62 has one side surface thereof being in contact with adevice 7. - The
device 7 is a memory device or a general-purpose large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) whose guaranteed operating temperature range is 0° C. to 70° C. Thedevice 7 does not operate stably at temperatures below 0° C. Thedevice 7 is the target of the heat relay mechanism. That is, the heat relay mechanism allows thedevice 7 to operate at a temperature within the guaranteed operating temperature range. - Referring now to
FIGS. 2A and 2B , the principle of operation of the technique according to the present disclosure will be described.FIG. 2A illustrates a state of the heat relay mechanism at the time of startup of the apparatus or when there is no temperature rise inside the apparatus casing 1. In this state, the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 has the initial shape; that is, the thermallydeformable component 3 is fixed to theblock 61 in such a manner as to be parallel to the fin-side heat pipe 20. Thebuffer sheet 4 at the end of the thermallydeformable component 3 is closely in contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20 in such a manner as to be pressed against the fin-side heat pipe 20 by the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3. Therefore, the heat of the fin-side heat pipe 20 is efficiently conducted into thebuffer sheet 4. - When the entirety of the
buffer sheet 4 is warmed up, the heat is conducted to the thermallydeformable component 3 that is in contact with one side of thebuffer sheet 4 opposite the side that is in contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20. Subsequently, the heat is conducted through the thermallydeformable component 3 to theblock 61, and is further conducted through theheat pipe 5 to theblock 62. Ultimately, the heat generated from the power semiconductor device is conducted to thedevice 7 that is in contact with theblock 62. Thus, even if the apparatus is installed in an environment at a temperature below 0° C. and thedevice 7 does not operate stably at the time of startup of the apparatus, the heat from the power semiconductor device, such as an amplifier component, that generates a large amount of heat is conducted to thedevice 7 and warms up thedevice 7 to a temperature within the guaranteed operating temperature range. Therefore, the time period before the operation of the apparatus is stabilized is shortened. -
FIG. 2B illustrates another state of the heat relay mechanism after a certain period of time has elapsed from the startup of the apparatus and the temperature inside the apparatus casing 1 has risen to a sufficient level. When the temperatures of heat-generating components further rise from those in the state illustrated inFIG. 2A and the temperature inside the apparatus casing 1 rises correspondingly, the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 gradually warps toward the right side ofFIG. 2B , i.e., in a direction away from the fin-side heat pipe 20. - The thermally
deformable component 3 is a bimetal member in which a NiFe member and a NiMnFe member are bonded together, or a trimetal member in which a NiMnFe member, a Cu member, and a NiFe member are bonded together. Since the metal members bonded together have different coefficients of thermal expansion, when the temperature rises, the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 warps. Along with the warping of the thermallydeformable component 3, thebuffer sheet 4 that has been in surface contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20 is gradually separated from the fin-side heat pipe 20, and the heat conduction to thedevice 7 is stopped. - Typically, the guaranteed operating temperature ranges of memory devices and general-purpose LSIs range from 0° C. to 70° C. Such devices do not operate at temperatures below 0° C. and do not operate stably at high temperatures. Therefore, the thermally
deformable component 3 functions as a switch for cutting off the path for supplying the heat generated from the power semiconductor device to thedevice 7. Thus, thedevice 7 is prevented from being excessively heated. Although the heat conduction to thedevice 7 is cut off halfway, there is no problem because the heat from the power semiconductor device is continued to be dissipated to the outside of the apparatus through the fin-side heat pipe 20 and the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2. - Referring now to
FIGS. 3A to 3C , a method of manufacturing thebuffer sheet 4 will be described. First, athermal sheet 41 of a predetermined size is prepared. Thethermal sheet 41 is made of a material based on acrylic rubber having excellent thermal conductivity. Subsequently, as illustrated inFIG. 3A , a part of the surface of thethermal sheet 41 is scraped off such that acavity 42 is provided. Subsequently, as illustrated inFIG. 3B , thecavity 42 is filled with asilicon compound 43 that is softer than thethermal sheet 41. Subsequently, as illustrated inFIG. 3C , athin film 44 is provided on one side of thethermal sheet 41 opposite the side having thesilicon compound 43. - The
thin film 44 may be formed by vapor deposition or plating of metal, such as Al, having a high heat conductivity. Alternatively, thethin film 44 may be a graphite sheet. To maintain the flexibility, thethin film 44 desirably has a thickness of about 0.5 mm or smaller. If thethin film 44 is not provided, the surface of thethermal sheet 41 having thesilicon compound 43 may melt with the high temperature of the fin-side heat pipe 20 and may stick to the fin-side heat pipe 20. Thethin film 44 made of metal, graphite, or the like provided on thebuffer sheet 4 provides an effect of preventing thebuffer sheet 4 from thermally adhering to the fin-side heat pipe 20 and an effect of evening out the heat from the fin-side heat pipe 20 over the entirety of the surface of contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20. As a substitute for thebuffer sheet 4, a gel pack filled with a liquid such as Fluorinert (trademark) provides the same effects. Thus, the amount of thermal input to the thermallydeformable component 3 is temporarily reduced, and the thermal shock applied to thedevice 7 to which the heat is relayed is reduced. - Referring now to
FIGS. 4A to 4C , a method and effects of pasting thebuffer sheet 4 onto the thermallydeformable component 3 will be described.FIG. 4A illustrates a case where thethermal sheet 41 having thethin film 44 is pasted onto the thermallydeformable component 3 with adhesive or the like. In this case, thethermal sheet 41 does not have thesilicon compound 43. Therefore, thethermal sheet 41 having thethin film 44 only provides a physical buffering effect. -
FIG. 4B illustrates a case where thebuffer sheet 4 including thethermal sheet 41 having thesilicon compound 43 and thethin film 44 as illustrated inFIGS. 3A to 3C is pasted onto the thermallydeformable component 3 with adhesive or the like. In this case, thebuffer sheet 4 provides thermal and physical buffering effects. In addition, a force that deforms thebuffer sheet 4 held between the thermallydeformable component 3 and the fin-side heat pipe 20 is absorbed by thesilicon compound 43. -
FIG. 4C illustrates a case where thebuffer sheet 4 illustrated inFIG. 4B is pasted onto the thermallydeformable component 3 with adhesive or the like while ametal sheet 45 is interposed therebetween. Themetal sheet 45 is made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, such as copper. Since the thermallydeformable component 3 is also metal, specifically, a bimetal member, themetal sheet 45 and the thermallydeformable component 3 are bonded together by soldering or with adhesive or the like. In this case, as in the case illustrated inFIG. 4B , thebuffer sheet 4 provides thermal and physical buffering effects, and the force that deforms thebuffer sheet 4 held between the thermallydeformable component 3 and the fin-side heat pipe 20 is absorbed by thesilicon compound 43. Themetal sheet 45 is processed after thethermal sheet 41 is pasted onto the thermallydeformable component 3. When thesilicon compound 43 is supplied into thethermal sheet 41 in obtaining thebuffer sheet 4, themetal sheet 45 functions as a base. - Referring now to
FIGS. 5A and 5B , the effects provided by thebuffer sheet 4 will be described.FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate thebuffer sheet 4 and the fin-side heat pipe 20 in the states illustrated inFIGS. 2A and 2B , respectively, seen from the lower side ofFIGS. 2A and 2B .FIG. 2A illustrates the state of the heat relay mechanism at the time of startup of the apparatus or when there is no temperature rise inside the apparatus casing 1. In this state, the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 has the initial shape and is parallel to the fin-side heat pipe 20. In this state, the distance between the thermallydeformable component 3 and the fin-side heat pipe 20 is shorter than the original thickness of thebuffer sheet 4. - Therefore, as illustrated in
FIG. 5A , thebuffer sheet 4 is deformed by being squashed between the thermallydeformable component 3 and the fin-side heat pipe 20. The surface of thebuffer sheet 4 that is in contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20 has an area larger than the original because thebuffer sheet 4 is squashed. Therefore, the heat of the fin-side heat pipe 20 rapidly conducts into thebuffer sheet 4. Accordingly, the temperature of thebuffer sheet 4 itself, which is not so high at this time, rapidly rises. Consequently, the heat is quickly conducted to thedevice 7 through the heat relay mechanism including thebuffer sheet 4, the thermallydeformable component 3, theblock 61, theheat pipe 5, and theblock 62. - As described above referring to
FIG. 2B , when the temperature inside the apparatus casing 1 gradually rises after the startup of the apparatus, the plate-like thermallydeformable component 3 gradually warps toward the right side ofFIG. 2B , i.e., in the direction away from the fin-side heat pipe 20, and the distance between the thermallydeformable component 3 and the fin-side heat pipe 20 increases correspondingly. - Consequently, the
buffer sheet 4 that has been squashed gradually restores the original shape, and the area of the surface of thebuffer sheet 4 that is in contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20 is gradually reduced. Accordingly, the amount of heat conducted from the fin-side heat pipe 20 to thebuffer sheet 4 is gradually reduced. Compared with the state at the time of startup, thebuffer sheet 4 at this time is sufficiently warmed up. Therefore, the heat continues to be conducted in the heat relay mechanism. - When the heat conduction further continues and the thermally
deformable component 3 further warps, thebuffer sheet 4 is completely spaced apart from the fin-side heat pipe 20 as illustrated inFIG. 5B . In this state, thebuffer sheet 4 still has some heat. Therefore, thebuffer sheet 4 is maintained to be spaced apart from the fin-side heat pipe 20. Subsequently, when the temperature of the thermallydeformable component 3 drops and the warpage of the thermallydeformable component 3 is reduced, thebuffer sheet 4 may come into contact with the fin-side heat pipe 20 again. Nevertheless, thebuffer sheet 4 exerts the thermal buffering effect and does not repeatedly come into contact with and move away from the fin-side heat pipe 20. -
FIG. 6 andFIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate the heat relay mechanism, described above, provided in a mobilecommunications base station 10.FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the inside of the mobilecommunications base station 10 seen through from a side on which the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 is provided. The thermallydeformable component 3 is fixed to the top of the casing of the mobilecommunications base station 10 with theblock 61. A power semiconductor device (not illustrated), which is a heat-generating component, is in contact with a lower part of the fin-side heat pipe 20 provided on the near side ofFIG. 6 . -
FIG. 7A illustrates the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 seen from a side on which the casing of the mobilecommunications base station 10 is provided.FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of a part of the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 illustrated inFIG. 7A on which the heat relay mechanism is provided. The heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 is provided on one side thereof with a plurality of fin-side heat pipes 20. Heat of the power semiconductor device, which is a heat-generating component, is conducted through the fin-side heat pipes 20 to the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 and is dissipated from the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the thermallydeformable component 3 is provided with thebuffer sheet 4 at a part thereof near a bend in one of the fin-side heat pipes 20. Theheat pipe 5 extending from theblock 61 runs inside the mobilecommunications base station 10, and the distal end thereof is in contact with the device 7 (not illustrated) that do not operate stably at temperatures below 0° C. Thus, heat generated from the heat-generating component provided in the mobilecommunications base station 10 is dissipated from the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 while being conducted through the heat relay mechanism to thedevice 7 that do not operate stably at temperatures below 0° C. - The configuration of the heat relay mechanism has been described as above. Now, a technique of increasing the efficiency of the heat relay mechanism, i.e., a technique of increasing the thermal conductivities of the fin-
side heat pipe 20 and theheat pipe 5, will be described. To increase the performance of theheat pipes - By giving the above surface decoration to the heat-dissipating
fin unit 2, it is expected that the fin-side heat pipes 20 may be soldered to the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 without performing nickel plating on the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2, which is necessary in related-art techniques. By decorating an aluminum member that is to become the heat-dissipatingfin unit 2 with the SAM mentioned above, the surface tension of the aluminum member increases, and solder becomes easier to spread over the surface of the aluminum member than on a surface that is not decorated with the SAM. Since the area of contact between the aluminum member and the solder increases, the adhesion therebetween increases correspondingly. Thus, it becomes possible to solder the fin-side heat pipe 20 to the aluminum member without performing the nickel plating. - All examples and conditional language recited herein are intended for pedagogical purposes to aid the reader in understanding the invention and the concepts contributed by the inventor to furthering the art, and are to be construed as being without limitation to such specifically recited examples and conditions, nor does the organization of such examples in the specification relate to a showing of the superiority and inferiority of the invention. Although the embodiments of the present inventions have been described in detail, it should be understood that the various changes, substitutions, and alterations could be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
