Abstract

A liquid cooling jacket with first and second heat receivers and a biasing spring. The first heat receiver having a first refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant flow and a first heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with a cooling target. The second heat receiver is configured to approach and separate from the first heat receiver while facing the first heat conductive sheet. The spring biases the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver in an approaching direction.

Claims (46)

1. A liquid cooling jacket comprising:

a first heat receiver configured to include a first refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant flows and a first heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with a cooling target;

a second heat receiver capable of approaching and separating from the first heat receiver and configured to face the first heat conductive sheet; and

a spring configured to bias the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver in an approaching direction,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a wraparound portion that wraps around a back surface side of the first heat conductive sheet in the first heat receiver, and

wherein the spring is disposed between the wraparound portion and the first heat receiver to press the first heat receiver.

2. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a second refrigerant pipe through which the refrigerant flows, and a second heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with the cooling target on a back surface of a surface in contact with the first heat conductive sheet.

3. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first refrigerant pipe and the second refrigerant pipe are aligned in parallel to each other.

4. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 1 ,

wherein the spring applies a biasing force to a central portion of the first heat receiver.

5. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 1 ,

wherein the spring biases the first heat receiver via the first refrigerant pipe.

6. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an operation piece to which an operation force is applied in a direction in which the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver are separated from each other.

7. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 6 ,

wherein, in the second heat receiver, the operation piece is provided on the wraparound portion.

8. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 6 ,

wherein, in the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver, the operation piece protrudes in pairs on both sides of the first refrigerant pipe in an extending direction.

9. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a holding member configured to integrally hold the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver.

10. The liquid cooling jacket according to claim 9 ,

wherein the holding member is an annular rubber that binds the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver by an elastic force.

11. A liquid cooling system comprising:

a liquid cooling jacket configured to include:

a first heat receiver configured to include a first refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant flows and a first heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with a cooling target,

a second heat receiver capable of approaching and separating from the first heat receiver and configured to face the first heat conductive sheet,

a spring configured to bias the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver in an approaching direction; and

a refrigerant supply device configured to supply the refrigerant to the first refrigerant pipe,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a wraparound portion that wraps around a back surface side of the first heat conductive sheet in the first heat receiver, and

wherein the spring is disposed between the wraparound portion and the first heat receiver to press the first heat receiver.

12. The liquid cooling system according to claim 11 ,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a second refrigerant pipe through which the refrigerant flows, and a second heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with the cooling target on a back surface of a surface in contact with the first heat conductive sheet, and

wherein the refrigerant supply device supplies the refrigerant to the second refrigerant pipe.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a liquid cooling jacket configured to include:

a first heat receiver configured to include a first refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant flows and a first heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with a cooling target,

a second heat receiver capable of approaching and separating from the first heat receiver and configured to face the first heat conductive sheet,

a spring configured to bias the first heat receiver and the second heat receiver in an approaching direction; and

an electric component with which the first heat conductive sheet comes in contact by a biasing force of the spring, the electric component being the cooling target,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a wraparound portion that wraps around a back surface side of the first heat conductive sheet in the first heat receiver, and

wherein the spring is disposed between the wraparound portion and the first heat receiver to press the first heat receiver.

14. The electronic device according to claim 13 ,

wherein the second heat receiver includes a second refrigerant pipe through which the refrigerant flows, and a second heat conductive sheet that receives heat by being in contact with the cooling target on a back surface of a surface in contact with the first heat conductive sheet, and

wherein the second heat conductive sheet comes in contact with the back surface by a biasing force of the spring.
