Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a cooling device for an electronic component, especially a cooling microprocessor, which has at least a passive heat conduction cooling element. There are many different types of electronic component cooling devices that are widely known in the art. It especially contains passive heat-conducting cooling elements, especially those made by inscriptions, which are fixed on the electronic component and effectively contact it. These cooling maggots are attached using an adhesive or a specific support. Usually, there are also additional active cooling elements in the form of fans, which are either fixed on the passive cooling elements or integrated with them. These conventional cooling systems are based on the principle of heat transfer based on evaporation, condensation, convection, and dissipation, or heat transfer based on different material combinations and surface structures with different thermal conductivity and / or thermal resistance. However, one of the disadvantages of the conventional cooling device is that the heat generation has also increased sharply due to the more powerful electronic components, especially the microprocessor time speed that has been repeatedly increased. However, because these electronic components can only operate properly within a certain temperature range, too high temperatures will cause them to fail or lose considerable functions, so the requirements for their cooling devices have gradually increased. However, the cooler in the aforementioned conventional technology is no longer capable of achieving the desired and required degree of cooling. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cooling device for electronic components, especially those capable of cooling microprocessors, which have at least one passive heat conducting element. The device can ensure the electronics even when a large amount of heat is generated. The components are adequately cooled. This object can be achieved by a generalized cooling device having the features of the scope of the patent application.

Description of the invention (2) The preferred embodiment is stated in the appendix of the scope of patent application. The cooling device of the electronic component of the present invention includes at least one passive heat-conducting cooling element, and at least part of the passive cooling element will contact at least one heat-conducting medium in the form of an aggregate solid. The thermally conductive medium is a phase change material (PCM) in this example and has, for example, a much higher heat absorption capacity than water. In addition, the thermally conductive medium is designed as a potential heat accumulator, which can store the heat generated by the load of the electronic component, and can no longer be absorbed and dissipated by the passive cooling element, while maintaining its accumulated solid state, and When the load of the electronic component is reduced, the heat is released again. This will ensure that the electronic components, especially the microprocessor, can be adequately cooled even if a correspondingly high heat is generated by a high load. At the same time, the thermally conductive medium can absorb the extra heat temporarily generated, and can release the stored heat when the load returns to normal, that is, when the electronic component generates normal heat again. Therefore, spikes in the thermal load can be avoided, which usually significantly reduces the function of the electronic component, especially a microprocessor using a conventional cooling device. Therefore, the cooling device of the present invention can also allow the function of the cooled component to be improved. The use of the cooling device of the present invention to avoid harmful peak heat load will further improve the working life and operability of the electronic component b. Since the phase change material used as the thermally conductive medium will also maintain an aggregated solid state when it absorbs heat, it can more advantageously avoid any problems caused by the expansion of the phase material, which is common in conventional materials By. In a preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, the heat-conducting medium is composed of a salt or an organic-rich salt mixture, and a metal powder to improve the heat-conducting ability.

Description of the invention (3) Paraffin. This heat-conducting medium also maintains its agglomerated solid form during heat absorption, and can be set in the solid in block and / or granular form on the cooling In and / or on the component. On the one hand, this will enable the cooling member to be manufactured economically, and on the other hand, it will ensure that the cooling member can be kept small in size. In addition, the heat conductive medium can be independently adjusted according to the present invention to Adapt to the required operating temperature for cooling the electronic component. This adjustment is done by changing the type and content of the components of the thermally conductive medium. In particular, the amount of heat buffered by the thermally conductive medium can also be adjusted. In addition Other advantages of the thermally conductive medium are not only non-toxic and recyclable. In a preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, the passive cooling element includes at least one active cooling element, especially a fan. The cooling capacity of the cooling device is further ensured. In another preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, the thermally conductive medium is filled in a container made of a thermally conductive material, and the container will contact the passive cooling. The heat-conducting medium is contained in a container, and the individual heat-conducting element fixed in the passive cooling element or easily replaced can be easily replaced. In another preferred embodiment of the cooling device of the present invention, In this case, a thermally conductive sheet is placed between the contact surface of the passive cooling element and the corresponding contact surface of the electronic component. These measures will ensure that the entire cooling function is achieved. The heat conduction of the component to the passive cooling element further enhances the cooling function.
