Abstract

A liquid cooling plate is configured to be in thermal contact with at least one first heat source and at least one second heat source. The liquid cooling plate includes at least one first heat dissipation part and a second heat dissipation part. The first heat dissipation part is configured to be in thermal contact with the first heat source and has a fluid chamber. The second heat dissipation part is connected to the first heat dissipation part and configured to be in thermal contact with the second heat source. The second heat dissipation part has a fluid channel, and the fluid channel is in fluid communication with the fluid chamber.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid cooling plate, configured to be in thermal contact with two first heat sources and a plurality of second heat sources, the liquid cooling plate comprising:

two first heat dissipation parts, each configured to be in thermal contact with a respective one of the two first heat sources, and each of the two first heat dissipation parts has a fluid chamber; and

a second heat dissipation part, connected to each of the two first heat dissipation parts, the second heat dissipation part comprises:

a connection portion;

two contact sections respectively integrally connected to opposite ends of the connection section, the two contact sections are each configured to be in thermal contact with at least a respective one of the plurality of second heat sources; and

a fluid channel, different portions of the fluid channel are respectively extending through one of the two contact sections, the connection section and another one of the two contact sections; and

wherein one of the two first heat dissipation parts is located between another one of the two first heat dissipation parts and the connection section, and

wherein the liquid cooling plate is configured with a coolant flow path that flows sequentially through the fluid chamber of the one of the two first heat dissipation parts, the fluid chamber of the another one of the two first heat dissipation parts, the one of the two contact sections of the fluid channel, the connection section of the fluid channel, and the another one of the two contact sections of the fluid channel.

2. The liquid cooling plate according to claim 1 , wherein a width of each of the two first heat dissipation parts is larger than widths of the two contact sections.

3. The liquid cooling plate according to claim 1 , further comprising a first connection tube and a second connection tube, wherein the fluid chambers of the two first heat dissipation parts are in fluid communication with each other through the first connection tube, and the fluid chamber of the another one of the two first heat dissipation parts is in fluid communication with the fluid channel via the second connection tube.

4. The liquid cooling plate according to claim 3 , wherein an end of the one of the two contact sections located farther away from the connection section has a fluid inlet, an end of the another one of the two contact sections located farther away from the connection section has a fluid outlet, the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet are respectively located at two opposite ends of the fluid channel, and the second connection tube is in fluid communication with the fluid channel through the fluid inlet.

5. The liquid cooling plate according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two first heat dissipation parts comprises a base, a cover and a plurality of fins, the base is connected to the second heat dissipation part, the cover is disposed on the base, the cover and the base together form the fluid chamber, and the plurality of fins are disposed in the fluid chamber and spaced apart from one another.

6. A server, comprising:

a casing, having an accommodation space;

a motherboard, located in the accommodation space and having two first heat sources and a plurality of second heat sources; and a liquid cooling plate, comprising:

two first heat dissipation parts, each in thermal contact with a respective one of the two first heat sources, and each of the two first heat dissipation parts having a fluid chamber; and

a second heat dissipation part, connected to each of the two first heat dissipation parts, the second heat dissipation part comprises:

a connection portion;

two contact sections respectively integrally connected to opposite ends of the connection section, the two contact sections are each configured to be in thermal contact with at least a respective one of the plurality of second heat sources; and

a fluid channel, different portions of the fluid channel are respectively extending through one of the two contact sections, the connection section and another one of the two contact sections; and

wherein one of the two first heat dissipation parts is located between another one of the two first heat dissipation parts and the connection section, and

wherein the liquid cooling plate is configured with a coolant flow path that flows sequentially through the fluid chamber of the one of the two first heat dissipation parts, the fluid chamber of the another one of the two first heat dissipation parts, the one of the two contact sections of the fluid channel, the connection section of the fluid channel, and the another one of the two contact sections of the fluid channel.
