Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • The disclosure generally relates to device cooling, and more particularly to a heat sink including a base plate interferingly fitted with a fin unit.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Heat sinks are used to remove heat from heat-generating electronic components such as central processing units (CPUs) and others, keeping the electronic components within safe operating limits, and enabling stable operation. A typical heat sink comprises a base contacting an electronic component and absorbing heat therefrom, and a plurality of parallel planar fins attached to the base by soldering. The fins dissipate the heat to the ambient environment.
  • When the heat sink is manufactured, soldering flux needs to be added between the fins such that the base and fins can be assembled together. Furthermore, when the fins and the base are of different materials, a prior process of nickel-plating may be required before soldering. Such process materials and manufacturing procedures make the assembly of the fins and the base somewhat costly and complicated.
  • Another common heat sink is a one-piece type, made of forged aluminum. A short pitch between adjacent heat dissipating fins is desired, so that the high fin density provides a large overall heat dissipating surface. However, due to technical difficulties inherent in the forging process, the desired level of fin density is difficult to achieve economically. Thus the one-piece type of heat sink rarely provides excellent heat dissipation.
  • What is desired, therefore, is a heat sink which can overcome the limitations described.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric, assembled view of a heat sink according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the heat sink includes a fin unit and a base plate.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the heat sink of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an isometric view of a fin of the fin unit of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the heat sink of FIG. 1, showing the fin unit assembled to the base plate by a punch mold.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Reference will now be made to the figures to describe the present heat sink and method in detail.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a heat sink 10 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a base plate 12 and a fin unit 16 arranged thereon.
  • Referring also to FIG. 2, the base plate 12 is rectangular, and includes a planar bottom surface 120 and a top surface 122. The bottom surface 120 is configured to contact a heat-generating component to absorb heat generated thereby. Two fixing portions 121 extend upwardly from two opposite sides of the top surface 122 of the base plate 12, respectively. Each of the fixing portions 121 extends along a long side edge of the base plate 12. The fixing portions 121 are formed by extrusion, and each includes a vertical wall 123 extending upwardly from the top surface 122 of the base plate 12 and a horizontal wall 125 extending inwardly from a top end of the vertical wall 123 towards the other fixing portion 121. The horizontal wall 125 is substantially parallel to and spaced from the top surface 122 of the base plate 12, to define a groove 126 between the horizontal wall 125 and the top surface 122 of the base plate 12. The groove 126 extends along the long side of the base plate 12. An elongated notch 128 above the groove 126 is defined in an upper surface of the horizontal wall 125.
  • The fin unit 16 includes a plurality of fins 160 arranged on the top surface 122 of the base plate 12. Each of the fins 160 is a substantially rectangular thin metallic plate. The fins 160 are parallel. Referring to also to FIG. 3, each of the fins 160 includes a substantially rectangular main body 161, an upper flange 162 and a lower flange 163 respectively extending forward from an upper edge and a lower edge of the main body 161, two fixing strips 166 located at two opposite ends of the lower flange 163, and two pairs of receiving units 168 formed at the upper flange 162 and the lower flange 163, respectively. The lower flange 163 is longer than the upper flange 162, with two ends 1631 extending from a left side and right side of the main body 161. Each of the fixing strips 166 includes a first strip portion 165 extending upward from a corresponding end 1631 of the lower flange 163 and a second strip portion 164 extending inward from a top end of the first strip portion 165 towards the other fixing strip 166. The second strip portion 164 is substantially parallel to and spaced from the lower flange 163. Each of the receiving units 168 includes an L-shaped hook 1681 extending from a long edge of the corresponding upper or lower flange 162, 163, and a receiving hole 1682 defined in the corresponding upper or lower flange 162, 163 adjacent to the hook 1681. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving hole 1682 is a through slot which is parallel to the long edge of the corresponding upper or lower flange 162, 163.
  • Referring back to FIG. 2, when the heat sink 10 is assembled, the fins 160 are stacked together. The upper flanges 162 of each two neighboring fins 160 contact each other to cooperatively define a planar top surface of the fin unit 16, and the lower flanges 163 of each two neighboring fins 160 contact each other to cooperatively define a planar bottom surface of the fin unit 16. For each two neighboring fins 160, the hooks 1681 of the receiving units 168 of a rear fin 160 are received in the receiving holes 1682 of a front fin 160 to connect the two neighboring fins 160. The fixing strips 166 of each two neighboring fins 160 abut each other to cooperatively form two protruding members 169 at two opposite sides of the fin unit 16. More specifically, the first strip portions 165 of the fixing strips 166 are coplanar to form two supporting walls 172 extending upward from two opposite sides of the bottom surface of the fin unit 16; and the second strip portions 164 are coplanar to form two connecting walls 170 connecting top ends of the supporting walls 172 and a corresponding lateral side of the fin unit 16. The protruding members 169 correspond to the grooves 126 of the fixing portions 121 of the base plate 12, respectively.
  • In assembly of the heat sink 10, the fin unit 16 is placed at one end of the base plate 12, with the protruding members 169 targeting the grooves 126 of the fixing portions 121, respectively. The fin unit 16 is then mounted onto the base plate 12, with the protruding members 169 received in the grooves 126 of the fixing portions 121, respectively. The connecting wall 170 of each of the protruding members 169 abuts a bottom surface of the horizontal wall 125 of a corresponding fixing portion 121, and the supporting wall 172 of each of the protruding members 169 abuts an inner surface of the vertical wall 123 of the corresponding fixing portion 121.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, a punch mold 20 is then provided. The punch mold 20 includes a press plate 21, and two punch plates 22 depending from the press plate 21. Each of the punch plates 22 is substantially rectangular, and forms an edge 221 at a bottom end thereof. A distance between the two punch plates 22 is approximately equal to (slightly greater than) that between the two notches 128 of the fixing portions 121 of the base plate 12. The punch mold 20 is moved over the fin unit 16 to cover the fin unit 16, with the edges 221 of the punch plates 22 received in the notches 128 of the fixing portions 121, respectively. The punch mold 20 is then driven further down to force the horizontal walls 125 of the fixing portions 121 to tightly contact the connecting walls 170 of the protruding members 169 of the fin unit 16, thereby firmly connecting the fin unit 16 and the base plate 12.
  • In the process of assembly of the heat sink 10, neither soldering flux nor nickel plating is required during assembly of the fin unit 16 to the base plate 12. The manufacturing cost of the heat sink 10 is minimized, and the assembly of the fins 160 to the base plate 12 is simple and convenient.
  • It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
