DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0071] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are specifically described in order to better understand the gist of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified. In addition, in the drawings used in the following description, in order to make the characteristics of the present invention easy to understand, the main parts may be shown in an enlarged manner, and dimensional ratios and the like of the respective constituent elements are not necessarily identical to the actual ratios and the like.
[0072] A composite heat transfer member according to this embodiment is applied to copper water cooling jackets and cooling water piping for a heat-generating component such as a central processing unit (CPU) of a server, base substrates for a power module, aluminum heat sinks for an LED head lamp for a vehicle, heat sinks for a mobile phone base station, and the like.
First Embodiment
[0073] First, a composite heat transfer member 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0074] As shown in
[0075] The carbonaceous material constituting the plate 10 is formed of a composite containing graphite particles and graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene. In this embodiment, as shown in
[0076] The flat graphite particles have a basal surface on which a carbon hexagonal net surface appears and an edge surface on which an end portion of the carbon hexagonal net surface appears. As the flat graphite particles, scaly graphite, scale-like graphite, earthy graphite, flaky graphite, kish graphite, pyrolytic graphite, highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite, and the like can be used.
[0077] Here, the average particle size of the graphite particles viewed from the basal surface is preferably within a range of 10 μm or greater and 1,000 μm or less, and more preferably within a range of 50 μm or greater and 800 μm or less. The heat conduction property is improved by adjusting the average particle size of the graphite particles within the above range.
[0078] Furthermore, the thickness of the graphite particles is preferably within a range of 1 μm or greater and 50 μm or less, and more preferably within a range of 1 μm or greater and 20 μm or less. The orientation of the graphite particles is appropriately adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the graphite particles within the above range.
[0079] In addition, by adjusting the thickness of the graphite particles within a range of 1/1,000 to ½ of the particle size viewed from the basal surface, an excellent heat conduction property is obtained and the orientation of the graphite particles is appropriately adjusted.
[0080] The graphene aggregates are a deposit of a single layer or multiple layers of graphene, and the number of multiple layers of graphene laminated is, for example, 100 layers or less, and preferably 50 layers or less. The graphene aggregates can be produced by, for example, dripping a graphene dispersion obtained by dispersing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene in a solvent containing a lower alcohol or water onto filter paper, and depositing the graphene while separating the solvent.
[0081] Here, the average particle size of the graphene aggregates is preferably within a range of 1 μm or greater and 1,000 μm or less. The heat conduction property is improved by adjusting the average particle size of the graphene aggregates within the above range.
[0082] Furthermore, the thickness of the graphene aggregates is preferably within a range of 0.05 μm or greater and less than 50 μm. The strength of the carbonaceous member is secured by adjusting the thickness of the graphene aggregates within the above range.
[0083] Here, in this embodiment, the plate 10 has graphite particles and graphene aggregates laminated in a direction orthogonal to a thickness direction of the plate (Z direction in
[0084] As described above, in a case where the edge surfaces of the graphite particles are directed to the main surface of the plate 10, relatively large irregularities are formed on the main surface of the plate 10.
[0085] In addition, as described above, since the basal surfaces of the laminated graphite particles are disposed so as to extend in the thickness direction of the plate 10, the heat conduction property in the thickness direction is excellent.
[0086] The cast body 20 is formed by cast-covering the surface of the plate 10 with a metal, as will be described later.
[0087] Here, the metal constituting the cast body 20 is not particularly limited, and is preferably pure magnesium, a magnesium alloy, pure aluminum, or an aluminum alloy having a small specific gravity and an excellent heat conduction property. In this embodiment, a magnesium alloy constitutes the cast body.
[0088] In the composite heat transfer member 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in
[0089] That is, the magnesium alloy constituting the cast body 20 shrinks when the temperature is reduced from the solidification temperature to room temperature. At this time, the carbonaceous material constituting the plate 10 hardly shrinks or slightly expands.
[0090] As described above, in a case where a difference occurs in shrinkage between the cast body 20 and the plate 10 due to a difference in the thermal expansion coefficient, the cast body 20 presses the surface of the plate 10. Accordingly, the plate 10 and the cast body 20 are strongly adhered to each other. In
[0091] Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the composite heat transfer member 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to
[0092] First, as shown in
[0093] Next, as shown in
[0094] Then, as shown in
[0095] By finishing to a predetermined size by machining or the like, the composite heat transfer member 1 according to this embodiment is manufactured.
[0096] According to the composite heat transfer member 1 of this embodiment configured as described above and the method of manufacturing the composite heat transfer member 1, since the surface of the plate 10 made of a carbonaceous material formed of a composite containing graphite particles and graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene is covered with the metal cast body 20, the cast body 20 is in surface contact with the surface of the plate 10, and due to a difference in shrinkage between the cast body 20 and the plate 10 during the solidification of the metal constituting the cast body 20, the cast body 20 presses the surface of the plate.
[0097] Accordingly, the cast body 20 is strongly adhered to the surface of the plate 10. Therefore, the heat resistance at a joining interface between the cast body 20 and the plate 10 is reduced, and the thermal conductivity of the composite heat transfer member 1 can thus be improved.
[0098] In this embodiment, since the carbonaceous member constituting the plate 10 contains graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene, and flat graphite particles, and has a structure in which the flat graphite particles are laminated with the graphene aggregates as a binder so that the basal surfaces of the graphite particles overlap with one another, and the basal surfaces of the flat graphite particles are oriented in one direction, the thermal conductivity in a direction in which the basal surfaces of the graphite particles expand is increased, and heat can be efficiently transferred.
[0099] In addition, in this embodiment, in a case where the carbonaceous material constituting the plate 10 has a structure in which the graphite particles and the graphene aggregates are laminated in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate 10, the heat conduction property in the thickness direction of the plate 10 is particularly excellent, and heat can be efficiently transferred from one surface of the plate 10 to the other surface side.
[0100] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in a case where the cast body 20 is made of pure magnesium, a magnesium alloy, pure aluminum, or an aluminum alloy, the composite heat transfer member 1 can be reduced in weight and can be improved in heat conduction property.
[0101] The composite heat transfer member 1 according to this embodiment may have a structure in which, as shown in
[0102] With such a configuration, the plate 10 and the cast body 20 can be more firmly joined. In addition, heat is efficiently transferred in the thickness direction of the plate 10 by the cast body 20 filling the through-hole 15.
Second Embodiment
[0103] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same members as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference signs, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0104] As shown in
[0105] In this embodiment, as shown in
[0106] As shown in
[0107] The metal constituting the tray 30 is not particularly limited, and pure magnesium, a magnesium alloy, pure aluminum, or an aluminum alloy can be applied. In this embodiment, the tray 30 is made of a magnesium alloy containing aluminum and zinc and having a thermal conductivity of 51 to 100 W/(m.Math.K).
[0108] Here, the cast body 20 is configured to cover at least the exposed surface of the plate 10.
[0109] In this embodiment, the cast body 20 is configured to cover the exposed surface of the plate 10 and the outer side surface of the tray 30. In addition, as shown in
[0110] Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the composite heat transfer member 101 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to
[0111] First, as shown in
[0112] Next, as shown in
[0113] Then, as shown in
[0114] By finishing to a predetermined size by machining or the like, the composite heat transfer member 101 according to this embodiment is manufactured.
[0115] According to the composite heat transfer member 101 of this embodiment configured as described above and the method of manufacturing the composite heat transfer member 101, since the plate 10 of a carbonaceous material formed of a composite containing graphite particles and graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene is accommodated in the metal tray 30, and the exposed surface of the plate 10 and the side surface of the tray 30 are covered with the metal cast body 20, the cast body 20 is in surface contact with the surface of the plate 10, and due to a difference in shrinkage between the cast body 20 and the plate 10 during the solidification of the metal constituting the cast body 20, the cast body 20 presses the surface of the plate.
[0116] Accordingly, the cast body 20 is strongly adhered to the surface of the plate 10, the heat resistance at a joining interface between the cast body 20 and the plate 10 is reduced, and the thermal conductivity of the composite heat transfer member 101 can thus be improved.
[0117] In this embodiment, since the carbonaceous member constituting the plate 10 contains graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene, and flat graphite particles, and has a structure in which the flat graphite particles are laminated with the graphene aggregates as a binder so that the basal surfaces of the graphite particles overlap with one another, and the basal surfaces of the flat graphite particles are oriented in one direction, the thermal conductivity in a direction in which the basal surfaces of the graphite particles expand is increased, and heat can be efficiently transferred.
[0118] In addition, in this embodiment, since the plate 10 made of a carbonaceous material is accommodated in the metal tray 30, it is possible to prevent the relatively brittle plate 10 from being damaged during handling. Therefore, it is possible to stably manufacture the composite heat transfer member 101 according to this embodiment.
[0119] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the projecting portion 26 of the cast body 20 is fitted into the recessed portion 36 of the tray 30, it is possible to prevent the cast body 20 from coining off the tray 30.
[0120] The composite heat transfer member according to this embodiment may have a structure in which, as shown in
[0121] With such a configuration, the plate 10, the tray 30, and the cast body 20 can be more firmly joined. In addition, heat is efficiently transferred in the thickness direction of the plate 10 by the cast body 20 filling the through-hole 15 and the opening portion 35.
[0122] As shown in
[0123] The embodiments of the present invention have been described as above, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the technical ideas of the present invention.
[0124] Instead of the plate described in this embodiment, a plate having a region where graphite particles and graphene are laminated in different directions may be used. For example, a plate 210 shown in
