Abstract
Description
本发明涉及一种电子元件,尤其是微处理器的冷却装置,该装置具有至少一个被动传热冷却部件。The invention relates to a cooling device for electronic components, in particular a microprocessor, having at least one passive heat transfer cooling component.
在现有技术中已经知道有许多种上述类型的电子元件冷却装置。这些装置尤其包括被动传热冷却部件,这些被动传热冷却部件尤其是由铝制成并安装在电子元件上,由此来有效地与该电子元件相互接触。该冷却部件利用粘接剂或特定支承的方式来附着在上述电子元件上。通常还要有附加的风扇形式的主动冷却部件放置在上述被动冷却部件上或者结合在该被动冷却部件内。A large number of cooling devices for electronic components of the above-mentioned type are known in the prior art. These devices include in particular passive heat transfer cooling components made in particular of aluminum and mounted on the electronic component so as to be in effective mutual contact with the electronic component. The cooling component is attached to the above-mentioned electronic component by means of an adhesive or a specific support. Usually there is also an additional active cooling component in the form of a fan placed on or integrated within the above passive cooling component.
现有技术中的这些系统全都是基于通过蒸发、冷凝、对流和耗散的传热原则,或者它们的特征在于通过不同材料组合和具有不同传热能力和/或热阻的表面结构进行冷却。These systems of the prior art are all based on the principle of heat transfer by evaporation, condensation, convection and dissipation, or they are characterized by cooling by different material combinations and surface structures with different heat transfer capacities and/or thermal resistances.
然而,这些现有技术中系统的缺点是在应用到功率更强的电子元件时,特别是由于越来越高的微处理器时钟频率,所产生的热量会急剧增加。然而,由于这些电子元件仅在一定温度范围内合适地工作,过高的温度会使它们发生故障或者丧失相当多的功率,因此,对相应冷却装置的要求也逐渐提高。现有技术中的上述冷却器已不再能实现理想及所需的冷却程度。However, a disadvantage of these prior art systems is that the heat generated increases dramatically when applied to more powerful electronic components, especially due to increasingly higher clock frequencies of microprocessors. However, since these electronic components only work properly within a certain temperature range, excessive temperatures can cause them to malfunction or lose a considerable amount of power, and therefore, the requirements for corresponding cooling devices are gradually increasing. The aforementioned coolers of the prior art are no longer able to achieve the desired and required degree of cooling.
因此,本发明的目的是提供一种用于冷却电子元件、尤其是微处理器的冷却装置,该装置具有至少一个被动传热冷却部件,并且能在即使有大量的热量集聚时确保对电子元件进行充分的冷却。It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cooling device for cooling electronic components, in particular microprocessors, which has at least one passive heat transfer cooling component and which ensures the cooling of the electronic components even when there is a substantial heat build-up. Allow to cool sufficiently.
上述目的是通过一种具有如权利要求1所述特征的冷却装置而实现的。The above object is achieved by a cooling device having the features of claim 1 .
在从属权利要求中描述了有利的实施例。Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
本发明的电子元件冷却装置包括至少一个被动传热冷却部件,该被动冷却部件的至少一部分与至少一个处于集聚固态的传热介质相接触。该传热介质在该实施例中是一个热容量例如比水高许多的相变材料(PCM)。另外,该传热介质已经被设计成一个潜在的蓄热器,以便在保持住其集聚固态的同时,储存电子元件上负载所产生的同时又不能再被被动冷却部件吸收和释放的热量,上述电子元件上的负载较小时,该传热介质再释放出上述热量。这样就确保了在即使有大量的热量集聚时也能对电子元件、尤其是微处理器进行充分的冷却。同时,传热介质能够吸收暂时产生的额外热量并在负载回复正常时,也就是电子元件再次产生正常热量时,释放该热量。由此就能避免出现热负载的峰值,在使用传统冷却装置时,这种热负载峰值通常会很明显地减小电子元件尤其是微处理器的功率。结果,本发明的冷却装置同样允许增加冷却部件的功率。利用本发明的冷却装置进行冷却时,由于避免了热负载峰值的损害,因而电子元件的工作寿命和操作性会进一步提高。由于用作传热介质的相变材料将在吸收热量的同时也保持住其集聚固态,因此有利地避免由于相变材料膨胀而产生的问题,这就与已知材料的情况相反。The electronic component cooling device of the present invention includes at least one passive heat transfer cooling component, at least a portion of which is in contact with at least one heat transfer medium in a concentrated solid state. The heat transfer medium is in this embodiment a phase change material (PCM) having a heat capacity much higher than water, for example. Additionally, the heat transfer medium has been designed as a potential heat accumulator to store heat generated by loads on electronic components that can no longer be absorbed and dissipated by passively cooled components while maintaining its concentrated solid state, as described above When the load on the electronic components is low, the heat transfer medium releases the above-mentioned heat again. This ensures adequate cooling of the electronic components, especially the microprocessor, even with a substantial heat build-up. At the same time, the heat transfer medium is able to absorb the temporarily generated extra heat and release it when the load returns to normal, that is, when the electronic components generate normal heat again. This avoids thermal load peaks which, when conventional cooling devices are used, usually significantly reduce the power of the electronic components, especially the microprocessor. As a result, the cooling device of the invention also allows increasing the power of the cooling components. When the cooling device of the present invention is used for cooling, the working life and operability of the electronic components will be further improved due to the avoidance of heat load peak damage. Since a phase change material used as a heat transfer medium will absorb heat while retaining its concentrated solid state, problems due to expansion of the phase change material are advantageously avoided, as is the case with known materials.
在本发明冷却装置的一个最佳实施例中,上述传热介质包括盐或富含有机物质的盐混合物,以及包括精细金属粉末形状的物质,用于提高传热能力。通常,传热介质的有机成分是石蜡。这种传热介质同样在吸收热量的同时保持住其集聚固态,这样可以以小块或小球的形状和/或作为一个固体主体安装在上述冷却部件的内部和/或者上方。这样就使得一方面能经济地生产该冷却装置,另一方面又确保了该冷却装置保持在较小的尺寸。另外,根据本发明,同样可能单个地将传热介质调整到冷却电子元件的所需操作温度。这种调整是通过改变传热介质的成分种类和数量而实现的。特别是,同样可能调整由传热介质所缓冲的热量。另外,该传热介质的另一优点在于无毒、可重复利用。In a preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, the above-mentioned heat transfer medium comprises salt or a salt mixture rich in organic substances, as well as substances in the form of fine metal powders for enhancing the heat transfer capability. Typically, the organic component of the heat transfer medium is paraffin. This heat transfer medium also retains its concentrated solid state while absorbing heat, so that it can be mounted in and/or above the aforementioned cooling element in the form of pellets or pellets and/or as a solid body. This enables economical production of the cooling device on the one hand and ensures that the cooling device remains small in size on the other hand. Furthermore, according to the invention it is likewise possible individually to adjust the heat transfer medium to the desired operating temperature for cooling the electronic components. This adjustment is achieved by changing the type and quantity of the components of the heat transfer medium. In particular, it is likewise possible to adjust the amount of heat buffered by the heat transfer medium. In addition, another advantage of the heat transfer medium is that it is non-toxic and reusable.
在本发明冷却装置的一个最佳实施例中,上述被动冷却部件包括至少一个主动的冷却部件,有时是一个风扇。这将能有利地确保进一步提高该冷却装置的冷却能力。In a preferred embodiment of the cooling device according to the invention, said passive cooling means comprises at least one active cooling means, sometimes a fan. This will advantageously ensure a further increase in the cooling capacity of the cooling device.
在本发明冷却装置的另一个最佳实施例中,上述传热介质容纳在一个由传热材料制成的容器内,该容器与上述被动冷却部件相接触。将传热介质放置在一个容器内使得能在上述被动冷却部件内部或者上方很容易替换单个传热部件。In another preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, the above-mentioned heat transfer medium is accommodated in a container made of heat transfer material, and the container is in contact with the above-mentioned passive cooling component. Placing the heat transfer medium in a container allows for easy replacement of individual heat transfer components within or above the aforementioned passive cooling components.
在本发明冷却装置的另一个最佳实施例中,在上述被动冷却部件的接触面和电子元件的一个相应接触面之间设置有一个传热箔片。这个措施通过使最佳热量从电子元件传导到被动冷却部件,从而确保了进一步提高本冷却装置所得到的整体冷却能力。In another preferred embodiment of the cooling device according to the invention, a heat transfer foil is arranged between the contact surface of the above-mentioned passive cooling component and a corresponding contact surface of the electronic component. This measure ensures a further increase in the resulting overall cooling capacity of the cooling device by allowing optimum heat conduction from the electronic components to the passively cooled components.
本发明还涉及一种具有处理器插座和至少一个安装在其上的冷却装置的处理器,其中上述冷却装置包括至少一个被动传热冷却部件,该被动冷却部件的至少一部分与至少一个处于集聚固态的传热介质相接触。该传热介质在该实施例中是一个吸热能力例如比水高许多的相变材料(PCM)。另外,该传热介质已经被设计成一个潜在的蓄热器,以便保持住其集聚固态的同时,储存住处理器上负载所产生的同时又不能再被被动冷却部件吸收和释放的热量,在上述处理器上的负载较小时,该传热介质再释放出上述热量。The invention also relates to a processor having a processor socket and at least one cooling device mounted thereon, wherein said cooling device comprises at least one passive heat transfer cooling component, at least a part of which is in a concentrated solid state with at least one contact with the heat transfer medium. The heat transfer medium is in this embodiment a phase change material (PCM) with a much higher heat absorbing capacity than water, for example. In addition, the heat transfer medium has been designed to act as a potential heat accumulator in order to maintain its accumulated solid state while storing the heat generated by the load on the processor that can no longer be absorbed and dissipated by passively cooled components. When the load on the processor is small, the heat transfer medium releases the heat.
本发明还涉及一种传热介质的用途,该传热介质为集聚固态,用于冷却微处理器,该传热介质是一个吸热能力例如比水大许多的相变材料(PCM)并且已经被设计成一个潜在的蓄热器。该传热介质将在保持住其集聚固态的同时,储存住微处理器上负载所产生的热量,在上述微处理器上的负载较小时,该传热介质再释放出上述热量。The present invention also relates to the use of a heat transfer medium in the form of a concentrated solid state for cooling a microprocessor, the heat transfer medium being a phase change material (PCM) with a heat absorbing capacity much greater than, for example, water and which has been is designed as a potential heat accumulator. The heat transfer medium will store the heat generated by the load on the microprocessor while maintaining its accumulated solid state, and release the heat again when the load on the microprocessor is light.

被动冷却部件12由铝或铝合金制成,并且通常为单件式部件。在图中可看出,在该冷却部件12内的冷却肋或叶片14之间设置有若干传热介质20。传热介质处于集聚固态,并分别与冷却肋或叶片14、底部部件16或者冷却部件12形成传热接触。在本实施例中,该传热介质是一个吸热能力例如比水高许多的相变材料PCM。由于该传热介质为集聚的固态,并且在吸热的同时能保持住该集聚固态,因此不必使传热介质20或冷却部件12具有密封的性质。将单个传热介质20制成在上述冷却部件12内部就已足够。该传热介质另外被设计成一个PCM装置的形式,以便在保持住其集聚固态的同时,储存电子元件上负载所产生的同时又不能再被被动冷却部件吸收和释放的热量,上述电子元件上的负载较小时,该传热介质再释放出上述热量。
