Water cooling device and collector thereof
A water cooling device includes a first collector, a second collector and a plurality of tubes. The first collector includes a receiving chamber and a plurality of distribution chamber. The receiving chamber has an inlet for receiving a working fluid. Each of the distribution chambers includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion opposite to the first wall portion. The first wall portion has an opening communicating with the receiving chamber. The second wall portion has an outlet. Each of the tubes is connected to the outlet of one of the distribution chambers on one end, and is connected to the second collector on another end.
1. A collector, comprising:
a receiving chamber having an inlet at a first side of the collector for receiving a working fluid; and
a plurality of distribution chambers,
wherein each of the plurality of distribution chambers comprises:
a first wall portion and a second wall portion,
wherein the second wall portion is opposite from the first wall portion, and the first wall portion has an opening communicating with the receiving chamber,
wherein the second wall portion has an outlet at a second side of the collector which is opposite the first side, and
wherein a size of the opening of each distribution chamber is correlated with a distance from the opening to the inlet, such that the opening size is larger the further said opening is located from the inlet.
2. The collector of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the distribution chambers further comprises a duct, and the duct protrudes from the first wall portion towards the second wall portion.
3. The collector of claim 1 , wherein a number of the distribution chamber with the duct is two or more than two, and two of the ducts have differing diameters, cross-sectional areas, lengths or inner surface roughness.
4. The collector of claim 1 , wherein the receiving chamber is formed with at least one distribution groove, the distribution groove has a first end at the inlet of the receiving chamber and at least one second end at the opening of one of the distribution chambers.
5. The collector of claim 4 , wherein the distribution groove is recessed into a wall portion of the receiving chamber.
6. The collector of claim 4 , wherein:
the at least one distribution groove is plural in number, and a size of the distribution groove is positively correlated with a distance from the opening corresponding to the distribution groove to the inlet of the receiving chamber;
a cross-sectional area of the distribution groove increases with increasing distance from the inlet of the receiving chamber; or
the at least one second end is plural in number, and a size of the second end is positively correlated with a distance from the opening corresponding to the second end to the inlet of the receiving chamber.
