Description

Heat transfer element reinforcement structure

A reinforcing structure for a heat transfer element, in particular, a reinforcing structure for a heat transfer element that enhances the structural strength of the heat transfer element by combining a reinforcing member.

Generally, electronic devices have multiple electronic components. Electronic components such as central processing units will generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat generated is not removed in time, the temperature of the working environment of the electronic components will increase. It seriously affects the normal operation of electronic components. Therefore, a heat dissipation element such as a radiator or heat dissipation fin or a heat conduction unit such as a heat conduction base or a temperature equalizing plate or a flat heat pipe is usually fixed on the surface of the heat generating electronic components. To achieve the effect of heat dissipation and heat conduction.

Generally speaking, the positioning method of the heat-dissipating element or the heat-conducting unit is directly fastened to an appropriate part of the periphery of the electronic element (CPU) on the motherboard by an elastic reed or a fastener, and the heat-dissipating element or the heat-conducting unit generates an impact on the electronic element. The relative pressing force has made it completely adhere to the surface of the heating electronic component.

However, the structural design of the motherboard is not designed to provide strong bearing capacity. This fixing method will cause the weight of the heat dissipation element or the heat conduction unit to improperly force the motherboard, which will easily cause damage to the motherboard. Therefore, a kind of The conventional fixing structure of the heat dissipating element and the heat conducting unit utilizes a board to be placed under the main board, and a plurality of fixing elements penetrate through the holes on the main board to connect the board to the heat dissipating element located above the main board. The heat conduction unit is fixed so that the motherboard will not be improperly applied However, this only increases the strength of the motherboard. When a greater downward pressing force is applied to the heat dissipation element or the heat conduction unit, the heat dissipation element will cause damage such as bending or breaking.

How to increase the structural strength of the heat-dissipating element or the heat-conducting base is the most important goal of this art.

Therefore, in order to effectively solve the above-mentioned problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat transfer element reinforcement structure that can increase the strength of the heat transfer element.

In order to achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a heat transfer element reinforcement structure, which includes: a body; the body has a pair of first side edges, a pair of second side edges, and a reinforcement member. By means of an external connection (matching), the first side, the second side, the first side and the second side of the body are connected to any one or more of the four corners to be buckled together. The reinforcing member and The body combination increases the strength of the body structure.

The present invention provides a method for increasing the structural strength of the heat transfer element when it is fixed, so that the heat transfer element will not be deformed or damaged when it is subjected to greater downward or upward pressure or tension during the fixation.
