Heat sink structure
A heat sink structure includes: a corrugated fin that is made of metal, and has a cross section in a wave form and a plate surface in which a plurality of through holes are opened; heat absorbing portions and that absorb heat from a cooling target object and transmit the heat to the corrugated fin; and a fluid flow path that allows cooling fluid to be supplied toward the plate surface of the corrugated fin and allows the cooling fluid to flow along the through holes. The heat transmitted from the heat absorbing portions and to the corrugated fin is radiated in the cooling fluid passing through the through holes.
1 . A heat sink structure comprising:
a plurality of corrugated fins that are made of metal, each of the corrugated fins having a cross section in a wave form and a plate surface in which a plurality of through holes are opened;
a heat absorbing portion that absorbs heat from a cooling target object and transmits the heat to the corrugated fin; and
a fluid flow path that allows cooling fluid to be supplied toward the plate surface of the corrugated fin and allows the cooling fluid to flow along the holes, wherein:
the corrugated fin is formed by a continuous body of a mountain-shaped portion with a semicircular cross section and a valley-shaped portion with a semicircular cross section,
the heat absorbing portion is a heat pipe,
each of the mountain-shaped portion and the valley-shaped portion has a radius of curvature corresponding to the heat pipe, and
the heat pipe is joined along an inner peripheral surface of at least one of the mountain-shaped portion and the valley-shaped portion,
the plurality of corrugated fins are arranged at an interval with plate surfaces of the respective corrugated fins facing each other,
the heat pipe is sandwiched between the plate surfaces,
the cooling fluid is sequentially supplied toward the plate surface of each of the corrugated fins, and
the heat transmitted from the heat absorbing portion to the corrugated fin is radiated into the cooling fluid passing through the through holes.
2 . The heat sink structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of through holes extend in a thickness direction of the corrugated fin.
3 . The heat sink structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the corrugated fin is a bent product of a cut piece of a lotus-type porous metal molded body molded through a metal solidification method, the lotus-type porous metal molded body having a plurality of pores that extend in one direction.
