As a result, the amount of heat generated by the electricity-controlled elements also increases to a great extent. In order to reduce the excessively high temperature of the electronic element and keep the working temperature thereof stable, therefore, it is an important issue for modern technology to develop an excellent heat-dissipating solution.
- As far as now is concerned, in addition to the heat-dissipating fan that is used most commonly, another common heat-dissipating solution is a water-cooling heat-dissipating system. Conventional water-cooling heat-dissipating system includes some primary components such as a water block, a pump, a water tank and a water cooler. The primary components are in fluid communication with one another via conduits, thereby allowing a working fluid to flow in each component. The water block is attached to a heat-generating element directly to absorb the heat generated by the heat-generating element. After the water block performs a heat-exchanging action with the working fluid flowing therein, the heat generated by the heat-generating element can be taken away. Finally, after the working fluid flows to the water cooler and performs a heat-exchanging action with the water cooler, the heat can be dissipated to the outside to keep the heat-generating element within a normal range of working temperature. The pump is used to generate a force to push the working fluid to flow in each component. The water tank is used to store additional working fluid.
- However, since the functions of modern electronic products are more and more powerful, it is necessary to require various electronic elements, which inevitably occupies the accommodating space within the electronic product and also affects the arrangement of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system directly. Although each of the primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system starts to reduce its volume to correspond to the limited arrangement space so as to optimize the integrity and utilization of space, the conventional pump structure uses a turbine to increase the pressure so as to generate a thrust. The turbine assembly has a certain structure and volume. Therefore, it is difficult to further compress the whole volume of the pump; however, the water-cooling heat-dissipating system still occupies a certain space. As a result, it is difficult to apply the water-cooling heat-dissipating system to a further thinner electronic product, which becomes a drawback of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system.
- In view of the above drawback, the present invention is to provide a water-cooling heat-dissipating system having a thin pump. By providing a membrane pump which uses an activating element as a power source, the volume of the membrane pump is compressed substantially and thus the space occupied by the water-cooling heat-dissipating system is reduced. Not only the utilization of the space can be improved, but also the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can be applied to more electronic products having a thinner structure.
- The present invention provides a water-cooling heat-dissipating system, which includes a water block, a membrane pump, a water tank and a heat exchanger. The above-mentioned components are in fluid communication with one another via a plurality of conduits. The water block is attached on a heat-generating element to absorb the heat generated by the heat-generating element. The membrane pump generates a thrust to facilitate the working fluid to perform a cooling action. The water tank is used to store additional working fluid. The heat exchanger performs a heat-conducting action with the flowing working fluid, thereby dissipating the heat absorbed by the working fluid to the outside. In this way, the heat-generating element can be kept in a normal range of working temperature.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a water-cooling heat-dissipating system, andFIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of a membrane pump. In the present embodiment, each of the primary components is connected in series. As shown in this figure, the primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system of the present invention include awater block 1, amembrane pump 2, awater tank 3 and aheat exchanger 4. The above-mentioned primary components are in fluid communication with one another via a plurality ofconduits 5, so that a working fluid can flow in the individual primary component. In the present embodiment, the water-cooling heat-dissipating system is provided on amain board 6. Thewater block 1 is attached on a heat-generating element (not shown) directly, thereby performing a heat-conducting action with the heat-generating element. Thewater block 1 is a hollow cavity. The interior of the water block is provided with a plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 11 to form a plurality of flowing paths 112. The front and rear ends of thewater block 1 are provided with aninlet pipe 13 and anoutlet pipe 14 respectively to allow the working fluid to flow therethrough. In this way, the heat generated by the heat-generating element can be absorbed by the plurality of internal heat-dissipatingpieces 11. After performing a heat-exchanging action with the flowing working fluid, the heat generated by the heat-generating element can be taken away via the working fluid. - With reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , in the present embodiment, themembrane pump 2 is in fluid communication with thewater block 1. Themembrane pump 2 is mainly constituted of acavity 21. Both sides of thecavity 21 are provided with aninlet pipe 211 and anoutlet pipe 212. The interior of thecavity 21 is provided with achamber 213 that is in fluid communication with theinlet pipe 211 and theoutlet pipe 212. The upper end face of thecavity 1 is provided with amembrane 22 that is made of a material having high tension. The size of themembrane 22 is slightly identical to the area of one end face of thecavity 1, thereby covering thechamber 213 completely. An activatingelement 23 is provided above themembrane 22. In the present embodiment, the activatingelement 23 is a piezoelectric sheet that is provided above thechamber 213 correspondingly and abuts against themembrane 22. The activatingelement 23 has a fixedend 231 and a swingingend 232. Thefixed end 231 is located on the same side as that of theoutlet pipe 212. Thefixed end 231 is connected with a plurality of electrode leads 7 to supply the necessary electricity for the activatingelement 23. The swingingend 232 abuts against the surface of themembrane 22. After the electricity is supplied, the swingingend 232 generates a swinging action along an arc-shaped trajectory at one side. Via the swinging action, the working fluid can be concentrated to flow in the same direction, so that themembrane 22 is driven to press thechamber 213. In addition, the swinging frequency of the activatingelement 23 can be adjusted according to various demands. - Finally, the
cavity 21 can be combined with acasing 24 to cover the above-mentionedmembrane 22 and the activatingelement 23 therein. Thecasing 24 is provided thereon with a plurality of penetratingholes element 23 and the electrode leads 4 respectively, thereby allowing the activatingelement 23 to be exposed and has a space for extension. The activatingelement 23 is penetrated by the electrode leads 7. Thetank 3 and themembrane pump 2 are connected and in fluid communication with each other, thereby storing addition amount of water. Finally, theheat exchanger 4 is constituted of a plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 41. Aconduit 5 penetrates into theheat exchanger 4. Via this arrangement, when the working fluid flows through theheat exchanger 4, the working fluid performs a heat-exchanging action with the plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 41, so that the heat can be dissipated to each heat-dissipatingpiece 41 and finally dissipated to the outside to complete the heat dissipation. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, theconduit 5 has a volume-cushioning effect, thereby bearing the volume expansion of the working fluid due to the high temperature. In this way, theconduit 5 can be pressed to expand outwardly to release the internal pressure of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system. - With reference to
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , they are top views of the second and third embodiments of the present invention respectively. As shown inFIG. 3 , theinlet pipe 211 and theoutlet pipe 212 of themembrane pump 2 are connected to asecond cavity 8 and athird cavity 9 respectively. The interior of thesecond cavity 8 has asecond chamber 81. Both sides of thesecond cavity 8 are provided with aninlet pipe 82 and anoutlet pipe 83. Theinlet pipe 82 is in fluid communication with theoutlet pipe 14 of thewater block 1 via aconduit 5, while theoutlet pipe 83 is in fluid communication with theinlet pipe 211 of themembrane pump 2. The inner wall face of thesecond chamber 81 is provided with avalve 10 at a position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 82. Similarly, the interior of thethird cavity 9 has athird chamber 91. Both sides of thethird cavity 9 are provided with aninlet pipe 92 and anoutlet pipe 93. Theinlet pipe 92 of thethird cavity 9 is in fluid communication with theoutlet pipe 212 of themembrane pump 2 via theconduit 5, and theoutlet pipe 93 is in fluid communication with thetank 3 via theconduit 5. Finally, the inner wall face of thethird chamber 91 is provided with avalve 10 a at a position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 92. Further, thesecond cavity 8 and thethird cavity 9 are separated from each other and are not in fluid communication with each other directly. - Via the above arrangement, when the activating
element 23 on themembrane pump 2 starts to swing downwardly, themembrane 22 is caused to compress the internal space of thechamber 213 of themembrane pump 2, thereby forcing the working fluid to flow toward theinlet pipe 211 and theoutlet pipe 212. The working fluid is compressed to generate a thrust to flow through thevalve 10 a via theoutlet pipe 212, and then flow through thethird chamber 91 to achieve thetank 3. At the same time, the working fluid flowing toward theinlet pipe 211 enters thesecond chamber 81 to press thevalve 10, thereby closing theinlet pipe 82 of thesecond cavity 8 tightly to prevent the working fluid outside theinlet pipe 82 from entering thesecond chamber 81. When the activatingelement 23 swings upwardly, thechamber 213 can return to its original space. Since the external pressure is larger than the pressure within thechamber 213, the working fluid is caused to flow through thevalve 10 via theinlet pipe 82 and then flows into thechamber 213. At the same time, the working fluid existing in thethird cavity 9 also generates a thrust to press thevalve 10 a within thethird chamber 91, so that thevalve 10 a closes theinlet pipe 92 tightly to prevent the working fluid from flowing back into thechamber 213. In this way, the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can generate a circulation in one direction. Further, the connecting positions of thesecond cavity 8 and thethird cavity 9 can be changed. As shown inFIG. 4 , thesecond cavity 8 is provided between theheat exchanger 4 and thewater block 1, which also has the same effect. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , it is a top view of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, thechamber 213 of themembrane pump 2 is provided with avalve 10 at the position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 211. Further, asecond cavity 8 is provided between themembrane pump 2 and thewater tank 3. Thesecond cavity 8 has asecond chamber 81 therein. Both sides of thesecond cavity 8 are provided with aninlet pipe 82 and anoutlet pipe 83. Theinlet pipe 82 and theoutlet pipe 83 are in fluid communication with themembrane pump 2 and thetank 3 via theconduits 5 respectively. Further, the interior of thesecond chamber 81 is provided with avalve 10 a at the position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 82. Via this arrangement, when the activatingelement 23 on themembrane pump 2 starts to swing downwardly, themembrane 22 is caused to compress the internal space of thechamber 213 of themembrane pump 2, thereby forcing the working fluid to flow toward theinlet pipe 211 and theoutlet pipe 212 respectively. The working fluid is compressed to generate a thrust to flow through thevalve 10 via theoutlet pipe 212, and then flow through thesecond chamber 81 to achieve thetank 3. At the same time, the working fluid flowing toward theinlet pipe 211 presses thevalve 10 that is located at the position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 211, thereby closing theinlet pipe 82 of thesecond cavity 8 tightly to prevent the working fluid from flowing to the outside of theinlet pipe 82. When the activatingelement 23 swings upwardly, thechamber 213 can return to its original space. Since the external pressure is larger than the pressure within thechamber 213, the working fluid is caused to flow through thevalve 10 via theinlet pipe 211 and then flows into thechamber 213. At the same time, the working fluid existing in thesecond cavity 8 also generates a thrust to press thevalve 10 a within thesecond chamber 81, so that thevalve 10 a closes theinlet pipe 82 tightly to prevent the working fluid from flowing back into thechamber 213. In this way, the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can generate a circulation in one direction. -
FIG. 6 is a top view of showing the structure of a fifth embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 7 is an exploded view of the membrane pump. As shown inFIG. 6 , the primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system includes awater block 1, amembrane pump 2, awater tank 3 and aheat exchanger 4. The above-mentioned primary components are in fluid communication with one another via a plurality ofconduits 5, so that the working fluid can flow in the individual primary component. In the present embodiment, the water-cooling heat-dissipating system is provided on amain board 6. Thewater block 1 is attached on a heat-generating element (not shown) directly, thereby performing a heat-conducting action with the heat-generating element. Thewater block 1 is a hollow cavity. The interior of thewater block 1 is provided with a plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 11 to form a plurality of flowingpaths 12. The front and rear ends of thewater block 1 are provided with aninlet pipe 13 and anoutlet pipe 14 respectively to allow the working fluid to flow therethrough. In this way, the heat generated by the heat-generating element can be absorbed by the plurality of internal heat-dissipatingpieces 11. After performing a heat-exchanging action with the flowing working fluid, the heat generated by the heat-generating element can be taken away via the working fluid. - The structure of the
membrane pump 2 further includes acavity 21. Both sides of thecavity 21 are provided with aninlet pipe 211 and anoutlet pipe 212 respectively. The interior of thecavity 21 is provided with afirst chamber 214 and asecond chamber 215 that are in fluid communication with each other via a throughhole 216. Theinlet pipe 211 and theoutlet pipe 212 are in fluid communication with thefirst chamber 214 and thesecond chamber 215 respectively. The inner wall face of thefirst chamber 214 is provided with avalve 10 at a position corresponding to that of theinlet pipe 211. The valve is provided in a penetratingtrough 217 on the inner wall, thereby blocking the working fluid from flowing back into theinlet pipe 211 from thefirst chamber 214 and then flowing out of thecavity 21. The inner wall face of thesecond chamber 215 is provided with avalve 10 a at a position corresponding to that of the throughhole 216, thereby blocking the working fluid from flowing back into thefirst chamber 214 from thesecond chamber 215 via the throughhole 216. Thevalve 10 a is arranged in the same manner as that of thevalve 10 in thefirst chamber 214. The upper end face of thecavity 21 is provided with amembrane 22 for covering thefirst chamber 214 and thesecond chamber 215 completely. An activatingelement 23 is provided above themembrane 22 and is provided above thefirst chamber 214 correspondingly to abut against themembrane 22. The activatingelement 23 has a fixedend 231 and a swingingend 232. Thefixed end 231 is located on the same side as that of theoutlet pipe 212. Thefixed end 231 is connected with a plurality of electrode leads 7 to supply the necessary electricity for the activatingelement 23. The swingingend 232 abuts against the surface of themembrane 22. After the electricity is supplied, the swingingend 232 generates a swinging action along an arc-shaped trajectory to cause themembrane 2 to press toward thefirst chamber 214. Finally, thecavity 21 is combined with acasing 24 to cover the above-mentionedmembrane 22 and the activatingelement 23 therein. Thecasing 24 is provided thereon with a plurality of penetratingholes element 23, the electrode leads 7 and thesecond chamber 215 respectively, thereby allowing the activatingelement 23 to be exposed and having a space for extension. The electrode leads 7 also penetrate through the activatingelement 23. The action of themembrane pump 2 keeps the working fluid to flow in one direction. - With reference to
FIG. 6 again, thetank 3 and themembrane pump 2 are connected and in fluid communication with each other, thereby storing addition amount of water. Finally, theheat exchanger 4 is constituted of a plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 41. Aconduit 5 penetrates into theheat exchanger 4. Via this arrangement, when the working fluid flows through theheat exchanger 4, the working fluid performs a heat-exchanging action with the plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 41, so that the heat can be dissipated to each heat-dissipatingpiece 41 and finally dissipated to the outside to complete the heat dissipation. - Therefore, when the swinging
end 232 of the activatingelement 23 swings downwardly, themembrane 22 is caused to compress the internal space of thefirst chamber 214 to generate a pressure, thereby forcing the working fluid to flow through thevalve 10 a toward thesecond chamber 215 and then thetank 3. In this way, the working fluid within the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can generate a flow. Although a small portion of the working fluid may flow toward theinlet pipe 211, the thrust generated by themembrane 22 can also press thevalve 10 to close the opening of theinlet pipe 211 tightly, thereby preventing the working fluid from flowing back into theinlet pipe 211. When the swingingend 232 of the activatingelement 23 swings upwardly, themembrane 22 can return to its original shape to release the internal space of thefirst chamber 214. In this way, the pressure within thefirst chamber 214 is smaller than the external pressure, so that the working fluid is caused to flow through thevalve 10 via theinlet pipe 211 and then flows into thefirst chamber 214. Further, because of the pressure, the working fluid remaining in theoutlet pipe 212 and thesecond chamber 215 also generates a thrust to press thevalve 10 a, so that thevalve 10 a closes the throughhole 216 tightly to block the working fluid remaining in theoutlet pipe 212 and thesecond chamber 215 from flowing back into thefirst chamber 214. In this way, the working fluid within themembrane pump 2 forms a larger amount flow in one direction. Further, the working fluid in the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can flow continuously in one direction. - With reference to
FIG. 8 , it is a top view showing the structure of the sixth embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can be connected in series or in parallel according to various demands for heat dissipation. In addition to the previous embodiment in which the components are connected in series to form a single-circulation type water-cooling heat-dissipating system, as shown inFIG. 8 , the water-cooling heat-dissipating system of the present invention can be applied to a plurality of heat-generating elements. The primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system include a plurality ofwater blocks membrane pump 2, awater tank 3, aheat exchanger 4, and asecond cavity 8 and athird cavity 9 provided on both ends of themembrane pump 2. Thewater block second cavity 8, themembrane pump 2, thethird cavity 9, thetank 3 and theheat exchanger 4 via a plurality ofconduits 5. Via this arrangement, the working fluid within the water-cooling heat-dissipating system can flow through the plurality ofwater blocks membrane pump 2. A plurality of membrane pumps 2 can be assembled together in parallel, thereby increasing the amount of flow and the speed of the working fluid within the water-cooling heat-dissipating system and thus enhancing the heat-dissipating efficiency of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system. - With reference to
FIG. 9 , it is a top view showing the structure of the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment is another kind of parallel arrangement. As shown in this figure, the primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system include a plurality ofwater blocks membrane pump 2, awater tank 3, aheat exchanger 4, and a plurality ofsecond cavities 8 a-8 e. The water blocks 1 and 1 a are attached in parallel on the heat-generating elements. Theinlet pipe 13 and theoutlet pipe 14 of thewater block 1 are in fluid communication with thesecond cavities conduits 5. Theinlet pipe 13 a and theoutlet pipe 14 a of thewater block 1 a are in fluid communication with thesecond cavities conduits 5. The working fluid can be controlled to flow in/out thewater block valves 10 a-10 e provided within thesecond cavities 8 a-8 e. Further, thesecond cavity 8 e is provided between themembrane pump 2 and thetank 3 to control the re-flow of the working fluid. - With reference to
FIG. 10 , it is a top view showing the structure of the eighth embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the water block and the membrane pump are combined with each other to form a unit. As shown in this figure, the primary components of the water-cooling heat-dissipating system include awater block 1, awater tank 3, aheat exchanger 4, asecond cavity 8 and athird cavity 9. The above-mentioned primary components are in fluid communication with one another via a plurality ofconduits 5, so that the working fluid can flow in the individual primary component. The interior of thewater block 1 is provided with a plurality of heat-dissipatingpieces 11. Any neighboring heat-dissipatingpieces 11 form a flowingpath 12. Both sides of thewater block 1 are provided with aninlet pipe 13 and anoutlet pipe 14 that are in fluid communication with thesecond cavity 8 and thethird cavity 9 via theconduits 5 respectively. Thesecond cavity 8 and thethird cavity 9 are provided therein with avalve water block 1 is provided with amembrane 22 a that is made of a material having high tension. The size of themembrane 22 a is slightly identical to the area of the upper end face of thewater block 1. An activatingelement 23 a is provided above thewater block 1. In the present embodiment, the activatingelement 23 a is a piezoelectric sheet that abuts against themembrane 22 a. The activatingelement 23 a has a fixed end 231 a and a swingingend 232 a. The fixed end 231 a is located on the same side as that of theoutlet pipe 14. The fixed end 231 a is connected with a plurality of electrode leads (not shown) to supply the necessary electricity for the activatingelement 23 a. The swingingend 232 a is attached to the surface of themembrane 22 a. After the electricity is supplied, the swingingend 232 a generates a large-range swinging action along an arc-shaped trajectory at one side. In addition, the swinging frequency of the activatingelement 23 a can be adjusted according to various demands. Thethird cavity 9 is in fluid communication with thewater tank 3 via theconduit 5. Thewater tank 3 is then in fluid communication with theheat exchanger 4 via theconduit 5. As a result, a complete water-cooling heat-dissipating system can be obtained. - Since the
water block 1 abuts against the heat-generating element, thewater block 1 absorbs the heat generated by the heat-generating element, and the working fluid takes the heat away. When the electricity is supplied to the activatingelement 23 a via the leads, the swingingend 232 a of the activatingelement 23 a can generate a swinging action along an arc-shaped trajectory at one side. When the swingingend 232 a of the activatingelement 23 a swings downwardly, themembrane 22 a is caused to compress the internal space of thewater block 1 to generate a pressure. Swinging along an arc-shaped trajectory can concentrate the working fluid to flow in one direction, thereby forcing the working fluid to flow out of theoutlet pipe 14. Then, the working fluid flows through thevalve 10 a provided in thethird cavity 9, thetank 3 and theheat exchanger 4. At the same time, the thrust generated also presses thevalve 10 within thesecond cavity 8, thereby blocking the working fluid from entering thewater block 1. When the swingingend 232 a of the activatingelement 23 a swings upwardly, themembrane 22 a returns to original shape to release the internal space of thewater block 1. Since the pressure within thewater block 1 is smaller than the external pressure, the working fluid is caused to flow through thevalve 10 within thesecond cavity 8. Thereafter, the working fluid enters thewater block 1 via theinlet pipe 13, so that the water block can have an effect of pump to force the working fluid to flow in/out of thewater block 1 rapidly. In this way, the working fluid can form a larger amount of flow in one direction. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof Various equivalent variations and modifications can still occur to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
