DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(8) The present invention is an integrated liquid cooling device with a heat-resisting structure, which is used to replace the traditional air cooling device installed on the processor inside the computer or server, and liquid-cool the processor to prevent the temperature from being too high. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, its preferred embodiment comprises an internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10, a liquid cooling head 20 and a liquid pump 30.

(9) The internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10 preferably implements a first liquid collection box 11, a second liquid collection box 12 and a plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14. The first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12 are hollow metal boxes respectively used for liquid collection, such as boxes made of aluminum alloy. The plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14 are flat metal pipes whose two ends are respectively fixedly combined with the first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12, and connected to the first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12, so that the working liquid in the first liquid collection box 11 flows into the second liquid collection box 12 through the first radiator pipes 13, and then flows into the first liquid collection box 11 through the second radiator pipes 14, forming the closed internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator. In addition, the plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14 are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 15, so that the working liquid can dissipate heat when flowing through the first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14. The liquid cooling head 20 is an existing item, such as the liquid cooling head shown in the patent announcement U.S. Pat. No. 11,566,847B2 or other liquid cooling heads that can be directly combined with the liquid cooling radiator. It is fixedly combined with the outside of the first liquid collection box 11, and is used for cooling the surface of the processor in the computer or server. The liquid pump 30 is arranged in the second liquid collection box 12, which has a known motor and impeller structure, and can be used to drive the circulating flow of working fluid in the internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10 to pass through the liquid cooling head 20 for cooling (heat absorption), and dissipate heat when circulating in the first radiator pipes s and second radiator pipes 14.

(10) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an air heat insulation space 111 is set inside the above-mentioned first liquid collection box 11 of the present invention, and the air heat insulation space 111 partitions the interior of the first liquid collection box 11 into a cold liquid chamber 112 and a hydrothermal chamber 113. The box wall of the cold liquid chamber 112 is provided with a cold liquid inlet 114 for the working liquid to flow from the cold liquid chamber 112 to the liquid cooling head 20. The box wall of the hot liquid chamber 113 is provided with a hot liquid inlet 115 for returning the working liquid from the liquid cooling head 20 to the hot liquid chamber 113. The air heat insulation space 111 is composed of a hot liquid partition 116 and a cold liquid partition 117 arranged inside the first liquid collection box 11 and separated by a distance. The periphery of the hot liquid partition 116 and the periphery of the cold liquid partition 117 are welded on the inner surface of the first liquid collection box 11, and are located at the position between the first radiator pipes 13 and the second radiator pipes 14 (as shown in FIG. 3), so that the above-mentioned air heat insulation space 111 is formed between the hot liquid partition 116 and the cold liquid partition 117. Since the thermal conductivity of air is 0.025 W/m.Math.K, and the thermal conductivity of aluminum is 237 W/m.Math.K, the air heat insulation space 111 of the present invention can effectively prevent the heat transfer of the hot liquid flowing into the hot liquid chamber 113 to the cold liquid in the cold liquid chamber 112 next to it, preventing the cold liquid from being abnormally heated and ensuring the cooling efficiency of the cold liquid flowing into the liquid cooling head 20.

(11) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 again, the above-mentioned first liquid collection box 11 specifically comprises a first box body 118 and a first box cover 119. The first end of the first box body 118 is a tapered closed end, the liquid cooling head 20 is fixed outside the tapered closed end, the second end of the first box body 118 opposite to its first end is an open end. The first box cover 119 covers the open end of the first box body 118, and the first box cover 119 is provided with first flat through holes 1191 corresponding to the plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14. The periphery of the above hot liquid partition 116 and the periphery of the cold liquid partition 117 are in close contact with three inner surfaces of the first box body 118 and the inner surface of the first box cover 119, thereby forming the above air heat insulation space 111. The above-mentioned second liquid collection box 12 specifically comprises a second box body 121 and a second box cover 122. The second box body 121 is a rectangular box, the first end of the second box body 121 is a closed end, and the second end of the second box body 121 opposite to the first end is an open end. The second box cover 122 covers the open end of the second box body 121, and the second box cover 122 is provided with second flat through holes 1221 corresponding to the plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14.

(12) In order to improve the combined strength of the above-mentioned first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14 in the above-mentioned first flat through holes 1191 and second flat through holes 1221, and at the same time improve the smoothness of the liquid flowing in and out, taking the end of the first liquid collection box shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 as an example, in the present invention, the first ends of the plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14 protrude from the outer wall of the first box cover 119 through the first flat through holes 1191 to the inner surface of the first box cover 119, and make the pipe walls of the first ends of the plurality of first radiator pipes 13 and second radiator pipes 14 form a respective trumpet pipe wall 131, 141 that expands outwards. The outer wall surfaces of the trumpet pipe walls 131 and 141 abut against the surroundings of the first flat through holes 1191, so that they are not only stuck in the first flat through holes 1191, but also improve the smoothness of the fluidity of the liquid. Similarly, when the trumpet pipe walls 132, 142 the second ends of the first radiator pipes 13 and the second radiator pipes 14 of the present invention are combined with the second flat through holes 1221 of the second liquid collection box 12, the same structure as above can also be adopted.

(13) As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 again, the preferred embodiment of the present invention further comprises two fan mounting frames 40, and the two fan mounting frames 40 are combined on both sides of the internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10. Each of the two ends of each fan mounting frame 40 respectively protrudes a locking lug 41 (as shown in FIG. 6), and the locking lugs 41 are respectively embedded in a respective concave hole 110, 120 corresponding to the position of the first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12. More specifically, each fan mounting frame 40 is integrally punched and formed from an aluminum alloy plate, and has a side plate 42 corresponding to the two sides of the internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10, and at least one panel 43 connected to at least one side of the side plate 42 (As shown in FIG. 4, it is two panels 43). The panel 43 is used to extend to one or both sides of the internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10, and a fan fixing hole is arranged on the panel 43. The two ends of the above-mentioned side plate 42 are respectively bent with an end plate 44 that fits on the outer walls of the first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12. The free ends of the two end plates 44 are bent to form the above locking lugs 41. Therefore, they are possible to embed the concave holes 110, 120 corresponding to the first liquid collection box 11 and the second liquid collection box 12. In this way, the assembly structural strength of the fan mounting frames 40 can be enhanced, and the overall structural strength of the internal circulation type liquid cooling radiator 10 can also be enhanced.

(14) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, the second box body 121 of the second liquid collection box 12 of the present invention can be integrally formed with ribs 123 protruding from the inner or outer surface of the box wall. The structural strength of the second box body 121 can be improved through the structure of the ribs 123. Similarly, the above first box body 118 can also implement the same rib structure. Furthermore, the above-mentioned second box body 121 is provided with a liquid injection hole 124 and a hole plug 125 on the wall of the second box body 121, which are convenient for injecting and replenishing the working liquid of the liquid cooling device.

(15) Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
