Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to heat dissipation devices, and particularly to a heat dissipation device incorporating a centrifugal fan.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Heat dissipation devices are often utilized to dissipate heat from heat generating electronic components, such as central processor units (CPUs). A typical heat dissipation device includes a fin assembly thermally connected with a heat generating component, and a blower for cooling the fin assembly. The blower includes a housing, and an impeller received in the housing. The housing defines an air outlet at one side thereof. The fin assembly is located at the air outlet.
- During operation of the heat dissipation device, the fin assembly absorbs heat from the heat generating component. The impeller of the blower rotates and drives air to the fin assembly to evacuate heat from the fin assembly to the ambient environment. However, a large quantity of air flows to one side of the air outlet, whereas less air flows to an other side of the air outlet opposite to the one side. Thus, the blower does not fully optimize cooling of a portion of the fin assembly that is located at the other side of the air outlet. In addition, uneven distribution of the airflow at the air outlet can generate a plurality of vortexes at the center of the air outlet, which is a disadvantage for heat dissipation.
- What is needed therefore is a heat dissipation device which can overcome the above mentioned limitations.
- Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the views.

The strength of the airflow at theair outlet 13 decreases from one side of theair outlet 13 to another side thereof. In the present embodiment, theimpeller 14 rotates clockwise as shown inFIG. 4 and the strength of the airflow at theair outlet 13 decreases from the secondauxiliary wall 1133 to the firstauxiliary wall 1132. - The
fan duct 20 is fixed at theair outlet 13 of thecentrifugal fan 10. Thefan duct 20 comprises a guidingportion 21, a securingportion 22 and apositioning portion 23. - The guiding
portion 21 comprises a connectingplate 211 and a plurality of guidingplates 212 positioned on the connectingplate 211. The connectingplate 211 has a substantially trapezoid configuration and comprises afirst end 2111 and asecond end 2112 which is longer compared with thefirst end 2111. The width of the connectingplate 211 increases gradually from thefirst end 2111 to thesecond end 2112. The length of thefirst end 2111 is substantially equal to the width of theair outlet 13.

Heights of the guidingplates 212 are substantially equal to that of theair outlet 13.

The guidingplates 212 are spaced from each other and achannel 215 is defined between every two neighboring guidingplates 212. A space between every two neighboring guidingplates 212 at thenear ends 2121 gradually increases from the one side of theair outlet 13 to the another side. A space between every two neighboring guidingplates 212 at the farend 2122 substantially stays as a constant. In other words, the widths of thechannels 215 at thenear ends 2121 gradually increase from the one side of theair outlet 13 to the another side, and the widths of thechannels 215 at the farends 2122 are equal to each other. In this embodiment, the number of the guidingplates 212 is five. Two outermost guidingplates 212 extend respectively from two lateral sides of the connectingplate 211, and thenear ends 2121 of the two outermost guidingplates 212 respectively abut against an outer side of the firstauxiliary wall 1132 and an outer side of the secondauxiliary wall 1133. The widths of thechannels 215 at thenear ends 2121 of the guidingplates 212 increase from the secondauxiliary wall 1133 to the firstauxiliary wall 1132. The ratio of the widths of thechannels 215 at thenear ends 2121 of the guidingplates 212 along a direction from the secondauxiliary wall 1133 to the firstauxiliary wall 1132 is 1:1.5:2:4. - Also referring to
FIG. 4 , thesecuring portion 22 comprises twosecuring plates 221, and alocking plate 222 and anauxiliary plate 223 extending from one of thesecuring plates 221 by connecting with thelocking plate 222. Eachsecuring plate 221 extends outwardly and horizontally from a top of one of the outermost guidingplates 212. A securinghole 225 is defined in eachsecuring plate 221 for a fastener such as a screw to be inserted through to secure thefan duct 20. Thelocking plate 222 extends downwardly from an outer edge of thesecuring plate 221. Theauxiliary plate 223 extends outwardly and horizontally from a bottom edge of thelocking plate 222. Theauxiliary plate 223 and the connectingplate 211 are in substantially the same horizontal plane. Securing holes (shown inFIG. 3 , not labeled) are defined in theauxiliary plate 223 and the connectingplate 211 for the fasteners inserting through to secure thefan duct 20 on a shell (not shown) of an electronic device in which theheat dissipation device 100 is accommodated. - The
positioning portion 23 comprises twopositioning plates 231 respectively extending rearwards from the farends 2122 of the two outermost guidingplates 212, and two supportingplates 232 respectively extending inwardly and horizontally from the tops of the twopositioning plates 231. Thepositioning plates 231 are substantially parallel to each other. A substantiallyquadrate receiving space 233 is defined by thepositioning plates 231 and the supportingplates 232 for receiving thefin assembly 30. - The
fin assembly 30 comprises a plurality of platedfins 31 assembled together. Apassage 32 is defined between every two neighboringfins 31. Thefin assembly 30 is received in the receivingspace 233 of thefan duct 20. Thepassages 32 are communicated with thechannels 215 of the guidingportion 21. - The widths of the
channels 215 at the near ends 2121 are configured to increase along the direction from the secondauxiliary wall 1133 to the firstauxiliary wall 1132 in contrast to the strength of the airflow at theair outlet 13 that increases along the direction from the firstauxiliary wall 1132 to the secondauxiliary wall 1133. Thus, the quantity of the airflow entering into thechannels 215 is adjusted to be substantially equal to each other. Further, the airflow out of thechannels 215 are evenly diffused onto thefin assembly 30 due to the widths of thechannels 215 at the far ends 2122 being substantially equal to each other. Benefitting from the adequately exploiting of the airflow, the heat from thefin assembly 30 can be dissipated more evenly, whereby the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation device is enhanced. - It is noted that the guiding
portion 21 of thefan duct 20 can be positioned in theair outlet 13 of thecentrifugal fan 10. When the guidingportion 21 is positioned in theair outlet 13, the connectingplate 211 can be omitted, and the guidingplates 212 can be directly positioned between the top and bottom covers 111, 112 of thecentrifugal fan 10. In addition, the principle for setting the widths of thechannels 215 at the near ends 2121 is in accordance to the amount of the airflow required or desired at theair outlet 13, which means that the width of thechannel 215 at thenear end 2121 is relatively large in comparison to the portion of theair outlet 13 when the amount of desired airflow being relatively small, and is relatively small in comparison to the portion of theair outlet 13 when the amount of the airflow being relatively large. - It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments of the disclosure.
