The dust-proof mesh 45 is installed at the bottom of the radiator 10 and does not affect the heat dissipation at the bottom of the radiator 10.



FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the radiator 10 provided in this embodiment. FIG. 4 is another perspective view of the radiator 10 in FIG. 3. The radiator 10 provided in this embodiment includes a coolant tank 100, a support frame 200, a heat-absorbing assembly 300 and a driving pump 410.


The coolant tank 100 has a heat exchange pipe 110 for circulating coolant. The heat exchange pipe 110 has a first liquid inlet 111 and a first liquid outlet 112. The support frame 200 is installed on the coolant tank 100. One end of the support frame 200 is higher than the coolant tank 100. The support frame 200 is arranged surrounding the coolant tank 100. The support frame 200 and the coolant tank 100 enclose a heat exchange space 201 for heat exchange with the heat exchange pipe 110. The lower part of the heat exchange space 201 is open and can exchange heat with the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant in the heat exchange pipe 110.


In some embodiments, further referring to FIG. 5, a fan 430 is installed in the heat exchange space 201. The fan 430 promotes the flow of air, which can increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat exchange pipe 110. Specifically, the radiator 10 also includes an air guide 30. The air guide 30 is disposed on a side of the coolant tank 100 away from the fan 430. That is, the air guide 30 and the fan 430 are located on opposite sides of the coolant tank 100 so that the airflow passes through the fan 430, the coolant tank 100 and the air guide 30 in sequence.


The heat-absorbing assembly 300 is located outside the heat exchange space 201. The heat-absorbing assembly 300 has a heat dissipation channel. The heat dissipation channel has a second liquid inlet 311 connected with the first liquid outlet 112 and a second liquid outlet 312 connected with the first liquid inlet 111. The driving pump 410 is installed on the support frame 200 and located outside the heat exchange space 201.

Optionally, the heat-absorbing assembly 300 is installed on the support frame 200 or the heat exchange pipe 110.


When the radiator 10 is used in a photographic light, the light source 20 is installed on the support frame 200 or the heat-absorbing assembly 300, and the light source 20 is in contact with the heat-absorbing assembly 300. The coolant circulates along the heat exchange pipe 110, the first liquid outlet 112, the second liquid inlet 311, the heat dissipation channel, the second liquid outlet 312 and the first liquid inlet 111 circulate in sequence and exchanges heat with the light source 20 in the heat dissipation channel to achieve heat dissipation and cooling of the light source 20. In the heat exchange pipe 110 the coolant exchanges heat with the heat exchange space 201 to reduce its own temperature. The support frame 200 is arranged around the coolant tank 100. The heat-absorbing assembly 300 and the driving pump 410 are both installed on the support frame 200, so that the radiator has a good integrity and can be produced, transported and installed as a whole. Each component is arranged compactly around the coolant tank 100, without occupying the internal space of the heat exchange space 201, and avoids excessive size in a single direction, so that the radiator 10 and the photographic light using the radiator 10 can be miniaturized.


It can be understood that in other embodiments, the radiator 10 may also be applied to dissipate heat from other heat sources.



FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the coolant tank 100 of the radiator 10 in the embodiment. FIG. 7 is an exploded view of the coolant tank 100 in FIG. 6. The coolant tank 100 has a first direction X and a second direction Y that are perpendicular to each other. The heat exchange pipe 110 of the coolant tank 100 includes a plurality of flat tubes 113 connected end to end.

Adjacent flat tubes 113 are connected through a U-shaped joint (not shown).


The plurality of flat tubes 113 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. A first heat sink fin 140 is disposed between two adjacent flat tubes 113 in the second direction Y to increase the heat dissipation area of the heat exchange pipe 110. Optionally, the plurality of flat tubes 113 are arranged in two layers which are upper and lower layers, thereby increasing the number of flat tubes 113 in a given volume and increasing the heat dissipation length of the heat exchange pipe 110.


In some embodiments, the coolant tank 100 includes two insertion plates 150. The insertion plates 150 have insertion holes corresponding to the plurality of flat tubes 113. The two insertion plates 150 are spaced apart along the first direction X, and two ends of each of the plurality of flat tubes 113 are respectively inserted and fixed in corresponding insertion holes of the insertion plate 150.


It can be understood that in other examples, the heat exchange pipes 110 may also be arranged in other winding patterns, which will not be described herein.


Specifically, the coolant tank 100 also includes a tank case 130. The heat exchange pipe 110 is installed in the tank case 130. The tank case 130 is open in an upper and lower direction to facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange pipe 110 and external air.


Specifically, the heat exchange pipeline 110 also has a liquid discharge and supply port, and a sealing cover 160 is installed on the liquid discharge and supply port. The heat exchange pipe 110 opens or closes the liquid discharge and supply port through the sealing cover 160 to drain the internal coolant or supply the internal coolant.

In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4. The support frame 200 includes two support plates 210. The two support plates 210 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the coolant tank 100 along the first direction X. The support plates 210 include a mounting part 211 and supporting parts 212. The mounting part 211 is fixed to a side wall of the coolant tank 100. The number of supporting parts 212 is two or more. The two or more supporting parts 212 are connected to the bottom of the mounting part 211 at intervals so that the supporting parts 212 protrude from the coolant tank 100 and enclose the heat exchange space 201 together with the coolant tank 100. The spacing between adjacent supporting parts 212 is conducive to heat exchange at the sides of the heat exchange space 201.

Two ends of the first frame 220 are respectively connected to the supporting parts 212 of the two support plates 210. A side of the first frame 220 away from the heat exchange space 201 is used to install the heat-absorbing assembly 300, so that the heat-absorbing assembly 300 does not occupy the internal space of the heat exchange space 201. In addition, the heat-absorbing assembly 300 is arranged around the heat exchange space 201, so that the radiator 10 has a compact structure.


Optionally, each support plate 210 further includes a first bent part 213, which is fixed to the supporting part 212 close to the first frame 220 and extends along the first direction X. Two ends of the first frame 220 are respectively fixed to the two first bent parts 213 through fasteners.


Specifically, the support frame 200 also includes a second frame 230. The first frame 220 and the second frame 230 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the coolant tank 100 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. Two ends of the second frame 230 are connected to the supporting parts 212 of the two support plates 210 respectively. A side of the second frame 230 away from the heat exchange space 201 is used to install the driving pump 410, so that the driving pump 410 does not occupy the internal space of the heat exchange space 201.

The driving pump 410 is installed on the second frame 230, and the heat-absorbing assembly 300 is installed on the first frame 220. The first frame 220 and the second frame 230 are located on opposite sides of the coolant tank 100, that is, the driving pump 410 and the heat-absorbing assembly 300 are located on the opposite sides of the coolant tank 100. On the one hand, the pipe connecting the driving pump 410 and the heat-absorbing assembly 300 is extended and the cooling length of the pipe is increased.

The reinforcing bars 250 allow all the supporting parts 212 of the same support plate 210 to be integrated, increasing the strength of the support plate 210.


Optionally, the number of reinforcing bars 250 is two, which corresponds to the number of support plates 210.


In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3. The annular frame 240 is configured for installing and fixing the dust-proof mesh 45. The support plate 210 is configured for installing and fixing the sides of the case of the photographic light. The first frame 220 is configured for installing and fixing the front case 41. The second frame 230 is configured for installing and fixing the rear case 42.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 8 to 12, the heat-absorbing assembly 300 includes a mounting member 310 and a heat-absorbing plate 320.


The mounting member 310 has a second liquid inlet 311 and a second liquid outlet 312 arranged opposite to each other. A first groove 313, second grooves 314 and a third groove 315 are provided on a side surface of the mounting member 310. One end of the first groove 313 is communicated with the second liquid inlet 311, the other end of the first groove 313 extends toward the second liquid outlet 312 and is a closed end. The second grooves 314 are spaced apart from the first groove 313, the second grooves 314 extend in the direction from the second liquid inlet 311 to the second liquid outlet 312. An end of each second groove 314 close to the second liquid inlet 311 is a closed end, and an end of each second groove 314 close to the second liquid outlet 312 is communicated with the second liquid outlet 312 through the third groove 315.


The heat-absorbing plate 320 is hermetically installed on the mounting member 310 and covers the first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the third groove 315. The heat-absorbing plate 320 is provided with a plurality of heat sink slits 323 spaced apart from the second liquid inlet 311 to the second liquid outlet 312 on the side facing the mounting member 310. The heat sink slits 323 each connects the first groove 313 and the second grooves 314. The heat sink slits 323, the first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the third groove 315 form a heat dissipation channel.


Since the first groove 313 and the second grooves 314 extend along the direction from the second liquid inlet 311 to the second liquid outlet 312, the plurality of heat sink slits 323 spaced apart along the direction from the second liquid inlet 311 to the second liquid outlet 312, and each heat sink slit 323 connects the first groove 313 and the second grooves 314, so the first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the plurality of heat sink slits 323 are in communication with each other. The coolant can flow through the second liquid inlet 311, the first groove 313, the heat sink slits 323, the second grooves 314, the third groove 315 and the second liquid outlet 312 in sequence, dissipating heat from where the coolant passes through. The coolant flows through the entire area enclosed by the first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the third groove 315, so that the heat dissipation area is large, and the flowing coolant has high heat dissipation efficiency, which improves the heat dissipation capacity of the heat-absorbing assembly 300.


The heat source, such as the light source 20, contacts the surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 away from the heat sink slits 323, and the heat is conducted away by the coolant flowing over a large area between the mounting member 310 and the heat-absorbing plate 320, thereby reducing the temperature. In some embodiments, the heat source is installed on the mounting member 310 and is attached to the surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 facing away from the heat-dissipating slits 323, so that the contact between the heat source and the surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 facing away from the heat-dissipating gap 323 is stable and the contact area is large, and the heat is conducted away.


Specifically, the number of the second grooves 314 of the mounting member 310 may be one, two, or more than three.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the number of the second grooves 314 is two, and the two second grooves 314 are respectively located on either side of the first groove 313. After the heat-absorbing plate 320 is installed on the mounting member 310, one end of the heat sink slits 323 is connected to one of the second grooves 314, the middle part of the heat sink slits 323 is connected to the first groove 313, and the other end of the heat sink slits 323 is connected to the other one of the second grooves 314.


Generally, the temperature is high in the middle part of the heat source and relatively low on both sides. When the heat-absorbing assembly 300 contacts a heat source, the coolant first flows through the first groove 313 in the middle. At this point, the temperature of the coolant is the lowest, which is conducive to rapid heat dissipation and cooling for the middle part of the heat source, and then the coolant flows into the second grooves 314, cooling two sides of the heat source.


Optionally, the first groove 313 is located in the middle of the mounting member 310, and the two second grooves 314 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the first groove 313.


The mounting member 310 is provided with a mounting groove 316. The first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the third groove 315 are located at the bottom of the mounting groove 316. The heat-absorbing plate 320 is sealed and installed in the mounting groove 316. The surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 facing away from the heat sink slits 323 is flush with the surface of the mounting member 310. The design of the mounting groove 316 is conducive to the positioning and installation of the heat-absorbing plate 320. In addition, the heat-absorbing plate 320 does not protrude from the surface of the mounting member 310, so that the heat source is able to fit the heat-absorbing plate 320 and the mounting member 310 at the same time. The mounting member 310 has a lower temperature, and the second liquid inlet 311 and the second liquid outlet 312 located at two ends of the mounting member 310 can assist in heat dissipation.


In some embodiments, mounting holes 318 are provided on the periphery of the mounting member 310. The heat source is fixedly mounted on the mounting member 310 through the mounting holes 318.


In some embodiments, the radius of the second liquid inlet 311 and the second liquid outlet 312 is 3 mm-5 mm, the width of the first groove 313 is 5 mm-10 mm, and the width of the second grooves 314 is 3 mm-6 mm. The width of the third groove 315 is 3 mm-6 mm.


In the present application, the heat-absorbing plate 320 may be a copper plate. The thickness of the heat-absorbing plate 320 is 1 mm-10 mm.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the roughness of the surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 away from the heat sink slits 323 is less than or equal to 0.8 μm, so that the heat source can better fit on the surface of the heat-absorbing plate 320 for heat conduction, avoiding the decrease in heat dissipation efficiency caused by the existence of gaps.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the heat-absorbing plate 320 includes a plate body 321 and a plurality of second heat sink fins 322 protruding from the plate body 321. The plate body 321 is installed on the mounting member 310. The plurality of second heat sink fins 322 are spaced apart from each other in the direction from the second liquid inlet 311 to the second liquid outlet 312. The gap between two adjacent second heat sink fins 322 forms the heat sink slit 323. Through the second heat sink fins 322, heat sink slits 323 with smaller gaps can be formed, and the heat sink slits 323 are correspondingly more densely arranged, which helps the coolant to be distributed evenly and substantially cover the heat-absorbing plate 320, resulting in more uniform heat dissipation and higher heat dissipation efficiency.


Specifically, the second heat sink fins 322 are integrally formed on the plate body 321. For example, the second heat sink fins 322 are formed on the plate body 321 through a skiving process.


The thickness of the second heat sink fins 322 is 0.05 mm-0.15 mm. The thickness of the second heat sink fins 322 is small, which reduces the area occupied by the plate body 321, correspondingly increases the area of the heat sink slits 323 and facilitates heat exchange of the coolant between adjacent heat sink slits 323, thereby resulting in more uniform heat dissipation. The gap between two adjacent second heat sink fins 322 is 0.05 mm-0.15 mm, that is, the width of the heat sink slits 323 is 0.05 mm-0.15 mm, so that the coolant slowly passes through the heat sink slits 323, allowing sufficient time for the heat exchange. The length of the second heat sink fins 322 is 60 mm-70 mm, and the distance across the first second heat sink fin 322 and the last second heat sink fin 322 is 70 mm-90 mm.


Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The mounting member 310 is provided with a positioning recess 317. The first groove 313, the second grooves 314 and the third groove 315 are located at the bottom of the positioning recess 317. The plurality of second heat sink fins 322 abut against the wall of the positioning recess 317.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the radiator 10 further includes a driving box 420 installed on the support frame 200. The driving box 420 is electrically connected to the driving pump 410 to control the driving pump 410 to initiate and stop.


Specifically, the driving box 420 and the driving pump 410 are located on the same side of the heat exchange space 201 to facilitate wiring. The driving box 420 is installed on the second frame 230.


Specifically, the driving box 420 and the heat-absorbing assembly 300 are located on opposite sides of the heat exchange space 201, so that the driving box 420 and the light source 20 are arranged opposite to each other, so as to balance weight distribution.


In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the first liquid inlet 111, the first liquid outlet 112, the second liquid inlet 311, the second liquid outlet 312 and the driving pump 410 are communicated through pipe fittings according to the flow direction of the coolant. The pipe fittings extend along the surface of the support frame 200 and do not cross the heat exchange space 201 or occupy the internal space of the heat exchange space 201, nor do they protrude outward and occupy additional space, thus the entire radiator 10 is more compact.


Specifically, the pipe fittings include a first pipe fitting 510, a second pipe fitting 520 and a third pipe fitting 530. Two ends of the first pipe fitting 510 are connected to the first liquid outlet 112 and the second liquid inlet 311 respectively. Two ends of the second pipe fitting 520 are connected to the second liquid outlet 312 and the inlet of the driving pump 410 respectively. Two ends of the third pipe fitting 530 are connected to the outlet of the driving pump 410 and the first liquid inlet 111 respectively.


The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
