Abstract:
A method of assembling thermal module includes steps of providing a first heat dissipation member and a second heat dissipation member, and aiming a section of the first heat dissipation member at a section of the second heat dissipation member, which section of the first heat dissipation member is to be assembled with the section of the second heat dissipation member and driving the first heat dissipation member to connect with the second heat dissipation member by means of striking the first heat dissipation member into the second heat dissipation member. By means of the method, the thermal module can be assembled at higher efficiency. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the thermal module is simplified.
Abstract:
A radiating fin and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The radiating fin includes a main body having a first side and an opposite second side, and being provided with at least one through hole to extend between the first and the second side for a heat pipe to extend therethrough; and at least one extension being formed on at least one of the first and the second side of the main body to locate around the at least one through hole and axially project from the main body. The extension is crimped to form a plurality of circumferentially alternate ridge portions and valley portions for tightly pressing against an outer surface of the heat pipe, so as to firmly bind the radiating fin to the heat pipe. A thermal module can be formed by sequentially binding a plurality of the radiating fins to the heat pipe.
Abstract:
A heat-dissipation unit includes a base and a plurality of radiating fins. The base has a plurality of grooves formed thereon, and each of the grooves has an open top and closed bottom. The radiating fins respectively have a heat-radiating zone and a bent zone. When a pressure is applied onto the bent zones, the bent zones respectively form an assembling section in the grooves to tightly fit therein. With the above arrangements, the radiating fins can be firmly locked to the base without the need of welding, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and the problem of a damaged base due to assembling can be avoided. A method of manufacturing the above-described heat-dissipation unit is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A mounting rack structure includes a rack body having a plurality of downward extended supporting legs, each of which is provided near a distal end with an mounting hole; a plurality of mounting hole adapters; and a plurality of fastening elements. The mounting hole adapter includes at least one vertical extension portion with a first retaining flange and a central passage having at least one second retaining flange formed therearound; and is assembled to the mounting hole with the first retaining flange firmly pressed against one side of the supporting leg. The fastening element can be extended through the central passage of the mounting hole adapter to firmly lock the supporting leg and accordingly the rack body to a heat-generating unit. With the mounting hole adapter, the mounting rack structure can be used with different types of fastening elements to save the cost for making different molds.
Abstract:
A radiating fin assembly includes a plurality of alternately stacked first radiating fins and second radiating fins, such that a V-shaped recession is formed between any two adjacent first and second radiating fins. The V-shaped recessions are defined on at least one of two longitudinal sides of the radiating fin assembly and include a plurality of split spaces, first widened spaces, and second widened spaces. The split spaces are formed at a bottom portion of the V-shaped recessions, and the first and the second widened spaces are formed at two opposite ends of the split spaces. The radiating fin assembly can be associated with at least one heat pipe and a base to form a thermal module. With the V-shaped recessions, the radiating fin assembly and the thermal module can have widened airflow inlets, shortened airflow paths, reduced airflow pressure drop and flowing resistance, and accordingly upgraded heat dissipating efficiency.
Abstract:
A cooling fan rack includes a frame defining a union section; a plurality of stoppers arranged at four corners in the frame to cooperate with the frame to define an accommodating space; and a plurality of airflow paths formed between two adjacent stoppers to communicate with the accommodating space. The frame is provided at two lateral lower sides with a notch each, which communicate with the accommodating space. The two notches are sized for straddling two upper outer sides of a radiating fin assembly, so that the radiating fin assembly with a reduced volume can be upward fitly received in the accommodating space. A cooling fan is downward firmly fitted in the union section. Part of the cooling airflow produced by the cooling fan can flow through the airflow paths to two opposite ends of the radiating fin assembly, enabling upgraded heat dissipation effect.
Abstract:
A cooling fan housing assembly for assembling to a heat sink includes a boosting portion and a connecting portion extended from the boosting portion. The connecting portion includes a first part and a second part for covering on and fixing to the heat sink. The second part of the connecting portion is provided with at least one hooking section for firmly hooking to the heat sink, so that a cooling fan supported on the cooling fan housing assembly can be quickly assembled to the heat sink without the risk of producing vibration during the operation of the cooling fan. Therefore, the cooling fan housing assembly not only reduces assembling labor and time and manufacturing cost, but also enables stable operation of the cooling fan.
Abstract:
A secure device for a heat sink and CPU includes a main support arm and an operation handler. The main support arm has a first hook section at one end thereof and provides a contact face and a movable second hook section at another end thereof. The operation handle further includes a main operation part and a handle part and the main operation part provides a guide groove with a first end and a second end. The guide groove extends along radial direction of main operation part from the first end to the second end and a uvula is formed between the first end and the second end. The circumferential side of the main operation part defines a press section for touching the contact face and a pivotal shaft is movably joined to the guide groove and the second hook section to actuate the second hook section moving upward or downward to selectively perform engagement or loosening while the pivotal shaft moving along the guide groove between the first and second ends.
Abstract:
A retaining tool with rotational locating device includes a main frame and a locator. The main frame provides a first lock part at an end thereof. The locator rotationally inserts through the main frame next to the other end thereof. The locator further includes an adjustable unit and a locking unit attached to the adjustable unit. The locking unit has a second lock part at the lower section thereof corresponding to the first lock part. The lock parts engage with an object and the locking unit with the second lock part is capable of moving vertically in case of the adjustable unit being turned horizontally. The object is forced to keep contact other objects tightly or to release from contacting other objects.
