Abstract

A water-cooling device includes a main body having a pump chamber and a heat exchange chamber, which are partitioned from each other by a water room partitioning board. The water room partitioning board has a communication section for communicating the pump chamber with the heat exchange chamber. A pump unit is disposed in the pump chamber. A heat transfer unit is disposed in the heat exchange chamber. A cooling fluid is filled up in the pump chamber and the heat exchange chamber. The water-cooling device has greatly enhanced heat dissipation performance. Moreover, the water-cooling device is free from the problem of overheating of the stator assembly in operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A water-cooling device comprising a main body, the main body having a pump chamber and a heat exchange chamber, which are partitioned from each other by a water room partitioning board, the water room partitioning board being integrally formed with the main body and having a communication section, the communication section having a first communication hole, a second communication hole and a passage in communication with the second communication hole, forming an open water circulation system whereby the pump chamber communicates with the heat exchange chamber, a pump unit being disposed in the pump chamber, a heat transfer unit being disposed in the heat exchange chamber, a cooling fluid being filled up in the pump chamber and the heat exchange chamber;
wherein the pump unit has a rotor assembly and a stator assembly received in the rotor assembly, the rotor assembly and the stator assembly being correspondingly disposed in the pump chamber, the stator assembly having multiple silicon steel sheets and a substrate, the silicon steel sheets being stacked and multiple windings being wound around the silicon steel sheets, the silicon steel sheets and the windings and the substrate being enclosed in a waterproof structure layer that is thinner than the partitioning board, the waterproof structure layer completely enclosing the top and sides of the silicon steel sheets, the substrate and the windings of the stator assembly, and because the waterproof structure layer is relatively thin, a distance between the stator assembly and the rotor assembly can be shortened, such that magnetic loss caused in magnetization between the rotor assembly and the stator assembly is reduced.

2. The water-cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor assembly has a shaft and a fan impeller, at least one bearing being assembled with the main body, one end of the shaft being rotatably connected with the bearing, while the other end of the shaft being connected with the fan impeller, the fan impeller having multiple blades.

3. The water-cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotor assembly has a fan impeller and at least one bearing, the bearing being assembled with the fan impeller, one end of a shaft being plug-in connected with the water room partitioning board, while the other end of the shaft being rotatably connected with the bearing, the fan impeller having multiple blades.

4. A water-cooling device comprising:
a main body, the main body having a receiving space, the receiving space having a closed side and an open side and a water room partitioning board, the receiving space being partitioned by the water room partitioning board into a pump chamber and a heat exchange chamber, the water room partitioning board being integrally formed with the main body and having a communication hole in communication with the pump chamber and the heat exchange chamber, a pump unit being disposed in the pump chamber of the main body, an inlet being disposed on the closed side in communication with the pump chamber corresponding to the pump unit, an outlet being disposed on an opposite side of the main body, in which the opposite side is adjacent to the heat exchange chamber, the outlet communicating with the heat exchange chamber;
a heat transfer unit having a heat absorption face and a heat dissipation face, the heat dissipation face correspondingly blocking the open side from the closed side; and
a cooling fluid filled in the receiving space of the main body;
wherein the pump unit has a rotor assembly and a stator assembly, the rotor assembly having a shaft, a fan impeller and at least one bearing, the stator assembly having multiple silicon steel sheets and a substrate, the silicon steel sheets being stacked and multiple windings being wound around the silicon steel sheets, the silicon steel sheets and the windings and the substrate being enclosed in a waterproof structure layer that is thinner than the partitioning board, the waterproof structure layer completely enclosing the top and sides of the silicon steel sheets, the substrate and the windings of the stator assembly, and because the waterproof structure layer is relatively thin, a distance between the stator assembly and the rotor assembly can be shortened, such that magnetic loss caused in magnetization between the rotor assembly and the stator assembly is reduced; and
wherein the communication hole of the water room partitioning board is eccentric to the rotor assembly.

5. The water-cooling device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bearing is assembled with the main body, one end of the shaft being rotatably connected with the bearing, while the other end of the shaft being connected with the fan impeller, the fan impeller having multiple blades.

6. The water-cooling device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bearing is assembled with the fan impeller, one end of a shaft being plug-in connected with the water room partitioning board, while the other end of the shaft is rotatably connected with the bearing, the fan impeller having multiple blades.
