The present invention relates to a wave absorbing heat dissipation structure.
An electronic system includes many electronic components, which generate electromagnetic waves during operations, wherein the electromagnetic waves generated by any one of these electronic components may interfere operations thereof and of other electronic components. Thus, in the prior art, a wave absorbing plate is used to cover an electromagnetic wave sensitive electronic component to reduce electromagnetic interference (noise), so as to maintain normal operations of the electromagnetic wave sensitive electronic component. The source of electromagnetic interference is, for example, electromagnetic waves of another electronic component or reflected electromagnetic waves of an electromagnetic wave sensitive electronic component. In general, the wave absorbing effect improves as the thickness of a wave absorbing plate increases, and electromagnetic wave interference can thus be alleviated. However, a thicker wave absorbing plate disfavors heat dissipation of an electronic device, and contrarily exposes an electronic device to high risks of being overheated.
The section “description of the prior art” is used for assisting in understanding of the contents of the present invention, and thus the disclosure in the “description of the prior art” may include details that do not constitute certain prior art generally known to a person skilled in the art. Further, the disclosure of the “description of the prior art” neither represents the problems to be solved by the disclosure or one or more embodiments of the present invention, nor means that the art of the present invention is already known to or recognized by a person skilled in the art before the application of the present invention.
The present invention provides a wave absorbing heat dissipation structure capable of alleviating interference of electromagnetic waves on an electronic component and enhancing heat dissipation of an electronic component.
A wave absorbing heat dissipation structure provided by the present invention is adapted to absorb electromagnetic waves of an electronic device and dissipate heat energy of an electronic device. The wave absorbing heat dissipation structure includes a wave absorbing heat dissipation layer and a metal film. The wave absorbing heat dissipation layer is arranged on an electronic device, and has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the first surface covers the electronic device. The metal film covers the second surface. The wave absorbing heat dissipation layer is adapted to absorb electromagnetic waves and transmit heat energy. The metal film is adapted to reflect electromagnetic waves and dissipate heat energy.
In the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure of the present invention, through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer having the first surface adapted for covering the electronic component and the metal film layer covering the second surface of the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure provides advantages of both alleviating electromagnetic interference on a first electronic device and enhancing heat dissipation of the first electronic device, thereby maintaining normal operations of the first electronic device.
To better understand the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention, embodiments are described in detail with the accompanying drawings below.
The wave absorbing heat dissipation structure 100 may be arranged on the first electronic component 200, and the first electronic component 200 and a second electronic component 300 may be arranged on a circuit board 400. Further, a heat dissipation module 500 may cover the first electronic component 200, the second electronic component 300 and the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure 100. Compared to the second electronic component 300, the first electronic component 200 is more sensitive to electromagnetic waves; that is, the first electronic component 200 is more susceptible to interference of other electromagnetic waves (i.e., noise) and thus has difficulties in maintaining normal operations thereof. For example, such other electromagnetic waves are electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 or reflected electromagnetic waves of the first electronic component 200 (i.e., electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 and reflected back to the first electronic component 200). Further, for example but not limited to, the first electronic component 200 is a satellite positioning chip, the second electronic component 300 is a solid-state disk, and the first electronic device 200, the second electronic device 300 and the circuit board 400 are internal components of a portable electronic device.
In this embodiment, a part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 may be directly absorbed by the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110; another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110, reflected by the metal film 120 towards the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110, and are eventually absorbed by the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110; yet another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110 and the metal film 120, and are reflected by the heat dissipation module 500 and then further reflected by the metal film 120 towards the heat dissipation module 500 without producing interference on the first electronic component 200; yet another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110, the metal layer 120 and the heat dissipation module 500, and are sent outwards. Accordingly, the interference caused by the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 on the first electronic component 200 itself and the second electronic component 300 can be reduced. The electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 can be reflected by the metal film 120 or be absorbed by the heat absorbing heat dissipation layer 110. Accordingly, the interference of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 on the first electronic component 200 can be reduced. Further, heat energy generated by the first electronic component 200 can be transmitted to the metal film 120 through the heat dissipation layer 110 and be dissipated through the metal film 120, and may eventually be dissipated together with the heat energy generated by the second electronic component 300 through the heat dissipation module 500. Therefore, in addition to alleviating the interference of electromagnetic waves on the first electronic component 200, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure 100 of the embodiment further helps heat dissipation of the first electronic component 200, thereby benefiting the normal operation of the first electronic component 200.
In this embodiment, a part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 may directly be absorbed by the wave absorbing portion 115a, another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the heat dissipation portion 116a and the wave absorbing portion 115a or the wave absorbing portion 115a, and are absorbed and the reflected by a metal film 120a towards the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110a and eventually absorbed by the absorbing portion 115a, another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110a and the metal layer 120a, and are reflected by the heat dissipation module 500 and further reflected by the metal film 120a towards the heat dissipation module 500 without producing any interference on the first electronic component 200; yet another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110a, the metal film 120a and the heat dissipation module 500, and are sent outwards. Accordingly, the interference of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 on the first electronic component 200 itself and the second electronic component 300 can be reduced. Further, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 may be reflected by the metal film 120a or be absorbed by the wave absorbing portion 115a, accordingly reducing the interference of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 on the first electronic component 200. Further, heat energy generated by the first electronic component 200 passes through the heat dissipation portion 116a and the wave absorbing portion 115a, and is transmitted to the metal film 120a, dissipated through the metal film 120a and eventually dissipated together with heat energy generated by the second electronic component 300 through the heat dissipation module 500. Thus, in addition to alleviating interference of electromagnetic waves on the first electronic component 200, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure 100 of this embodiment further helps heat dissipation of the first electronic component 200, thereby benefiting the normal operation of the first electronic component 200.
In this embodiment, a part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 may be directly absorbed by the absorbing portion 115b, another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the heat dissipation portion 116b or the wave absorbing portion 115b, and are reflected by a metal film 120b towards the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110b and eventually absorbed by the wave absorbing portion 115b, yet another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110b and the metal film 120b, and are reflected by the heat dissipation module 500 and further reflected by the metal film 120b towards the heat dissipation module 500 without producing interference on the first electronic component 200; yet another part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 pass through the wave absorbing layer 110b, the metal film 120b and the heat dissipation module 500, and are sent outwards. Accordingly, the interference of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the first electronic component 200 on the first electronic component 200 itself and the second electronic component 300 can be reduced. Further, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 may be reflected by the metal film 120b or be absorbed by the wave absorbing portion 115b, accordingly reducing the interference of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the second electronic component 300 on the first electronic component 200. Further, heat energy generated by the first electronic component 200 is transmitted to the metal film 120a through the heat dissipation portion 116b of the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer 110b, and dissipated through the metal film 120a and eventually dissipated together with heat energy generated by the second electronic component 300 through the heat dissipation module 500. Thus, in addition to alleviating interference of electromagnetic waves on the first electronic component 200, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure 100 of this embodiment further helps heat dissipation of the first electronic component 200, thereby benefiting the normal operation of the first electronic component 200.
In conclusion, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure of the present invention, through the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer having the first surface adapted for covering the electronic component and the metal film layer covering the second surface of the wave absorbing heat dissipation layer, the wave absorbing heat dissipation structure provides advantages of both alleviating electromagnetic interference on the first electronic device and enhancing heat dissipation of the first electronic device, thereby maintaining normal operations of the first electronic device.
