Abstract

Provided are casting products for cooling heating elements, the casting products including: a body made of a metal material; and a cooling pipe providing a path through which a cooling fluid flows, and being made of an aluminum alloy material, wherein the body includes a plate-shaped plate portion, protrusion extensions protruding from the plate portion and extending along the cooling pipe so that at least part of the cooling pipe is fully buried, and a cooling pin structure formed integrally with the plate portion, and the cooling pipe is formed in such a way that a first pipe thickness of the cooling pipe having a cross-sectional shape in a first direction is greater than a second pipe thickness in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the first direction is in parallel to the plate portion, and the second direction is a thickness direction of the plate portion.

Claims (17)

1. Casting products for cooling heating elements, the casting products comprising:

a body made of a metal material; and

a cooling pipe providing a path through which a cooling fluid flows, and being made of an aluminum alloy material,

wherein the body comprises:

a plate-shaped plate portion;

protrusion extensions protruding from one surface of the plate-shaped plate portion and extending along the cooling pipe; and

a cooling pin structure formed integrally with the plate-shaped plate portion,

wherein a portion of the cooling pipe is completely buried in each of the protrusion extension so that a buried portion of the cooling pipe is not exposed to an outside of each protrusion extension,

wherein the cooling pipe is formed in such a way that a first pipe thickness of the cooling pipe having a cross-sectional shape in a first direction is greater than a second pipe thickness in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,

wherein the first direction is in parallel to the plate-shaped plate portion, and the second direction is a thickness direction of the plate-shaped plate portion.

2. The casting products of claim 1 , wherein the cooling pin structure comprises a plurality of protrusion cooling pins connected to the protrusion extensions.

3. The casting products of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of protrusion cooling pins are sequentially spaced apart from each other in an extension direction of the protrusion extensions, and each of the plurality of protrusion cooling pins extends to cross the protrusion extensions.

4. The casting products of claim 3 , wherein an extension direction of each of the protrusion cooling pins is inclined at an angle that is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the protrusion extensions.

5. The casting products of claim 4 , wherein the protrusion extensions comprise zigzag protrusion extensions extending in a zigzag shape, and the zigzag protrusion extensions comprise a plurality of protrusion main extensions arranged in parallel to each other, and the plurality of protrusion cooling pins are placed in each of the plurality of protrusion main extensions.

6. The casting products of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of protrusion cooling pins placed on one of the plurality of protrusion main extensions are arranged in parallel to each other.

7. The casting products of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the cooling pipe has a shape symmetric with a center.

8. The casting products of claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of an aluminum alloy material.
