Description
- The invention relates to the technical field of heat sinks, in particular to a fin heat sink with an improved structure and a processing method thereof.
- With the development of the technology, the size of electronic products is smaller and smaller, and correspondingly the heat productivity of unit space is higher and higher. Therefore, higher requirement on heat dissipation is required to be met. Heat sinks have become essential accessories of certain electronic products. A commonly used heat sink mainly comprises a pedestal and a plurality of fin groups with the functions of heat transfer and dissipation, wherein each fin group comprises a plurality of fins subjected to layered arrangement, and the heat sink can also be provided with a heat pipe to enhance the cooling effect.
- The contact area between the fins and the pedestal and whether the fins and the pedestal are firmly connected with each other are important factors affecting the cooling efficiency of the heat sink. Enabling the fins to be connected with the pedestal is a key step in the production process of the heat sink. A common method is to enable the fins to be connected with the pedestal by welding, in which a solder paste or other soldering pastes are required to be taken as a welding medium, and nickel plating processing is sometimes required to be performed based on the materials of the fins and the pedestal. For example, the Chinese invention patent application, with the Application No. “200410003352.9” and the invention title “METHOD FOR PREPARING HEAT SINK BY WELDING”, discloses a method for connecting fins and a pedestal by welding.
- The above welding method has the disadvantages of complex process, high cost, low production efficiency and environment-unfriendly property. Therefore, another common method is to improve the structure of the pedestal and the fins and enable the fins to be connected with the pedestal by embedding, riveting or other mechanical connection means. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent No. “03279661.7” and the patent title “HEAT SINK STRUCTURE”, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent No. “200620063119.4” and the patent title “IMPROVED ASSEMBLY OF FINS AND PEDESTAL FOR HEAT SINK”, and the like. The method is to arrange various independent fins in succession into the pedestal which is provided with grooves in advance, apply a die to extrude the grooves to enable the grooves to be deformed, and enable flaky roots of the fins and the deformed grooves to form interference fit, so as to enable the fins to be fixedly connected with the pedestal. The process has the disadvantages that: not only the grooves are difficult to process but also the process for extruding the grooves through the die is inconvenient and time-consuming and has high defective rate due to small gaps between the fins. Therefore, although the method has certain advantages compared with the method for preparing the heat sink by welding, the method has the disadvantages of complex process, inconvenient processing and high cost. Moreover, the contact area between the flaky roots of the fins and the pedestal is limited so as to affect the heat transfer efficiency.
- The invention aims to provide a fin heat sink with an improved structure and a processing method thereof for overcoming the defects in the prior art. The fin heat sink with the improved structure has the advantages of scientific structure, low production cost and high production efficiency.

- The clamping groove comprise a clamping and connecting groove and a connecting groove which are communicated with each other, wherein the connecting groove is close to the pedestal; and the maximum width of the clamping and connecting groove is more than the minimum width of the connecting groove.
- One end of the clamping groove close to the roots of the cooling fins is rectangular and the other end of the clamping groove is circular or rectangular.
- The clamping groove is in the shape of a trapezoid, and one end of the clamping groove close to the roots of the cooling fins is a short bottom edge of the trapezoid.
- The number of the clamping grooves is at least two; the clamping grooves are rectangular; and side faces of different clamping grooves are nonparallel to each other.
- Clamps are extended out of one sides of the clamping grooves and sleeved with the clamping pieces; and the height of the clamps is equal to or less than the distance between adjacent cooling fins.
- The fin heat sink is further provided with a heat pipe, wherein one end of the heat pipe passes through the cooling fin group and the other end of the heat pipe is connected with the pedestal.
- The cooling fins are provided with bending parts the bending width of which is equal to the distance between the adjacent cooling fins.
- Fastening pieces sleeved with the heat pipe are molded at joints of the cooling fins and the heat pipe.
- The invention also provides a method for processing the fin heat sink, which comprises the following steps of:
- (1) preparing a pedestal, in which the pedestal is connected with convex clamping pieces which are arranged on cooling end faces of cooling fins, and the clamping pieces are extended along straight lines parallel to the cooling end faces;
- (2) stamping the cooling fins and preparing the cooling fins through a stamping die, in which clamping grooves the bottoms of which are opened are stamped and molded at roots of the cooling fins and clamped and connected with the clamping pieces of the pedestal; and
- (3) performing assembly, in which the plurality of the cooling fins are clamped and connected with the clamping pieces through the clamping grooves in succession.
- The stamping die is a progressive die; the prepared pedestal is arranged inside a lower die of the progressive die; the extension direction of the clamping pieces is consistent with the stamping direction of a punch press; and the progressive die stamps down the stamped and molded cooling fins to enable the cooling fins to be sleeved with the clamping pieces through the clamping grooves.
- The fin heat sink comprises a heat pipe which is “U”-shaped; the heat pipe and the prepared pedestal are arranged inside the lower die of the progressive die together; one end of the heat pipe is vertical; and the cooling fins are sleeved with the heat pipe through the punch press.
- The pedestal is molded by a process of extruding, casting or cutting.
- The clamping pieces and the pedestal are integrated into a whole.
- The clamping pieces and the pedestal are separable; the pedestal is provided with grooves; and roots of the clamping pieces are connected with the pedestal through the grooves.

- Fastening pieces are stamped and molded in sleeved positions of the cooling fins and the heat pipe and sleeved with the heat pipe.
- The cooling fins are provided with bending parts by stamping.

- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 to 3 , the fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, comprises apedestal 1 and a plurality ofcooling fins 2, wherein roots of thecooling fins 2 are connected with thepedestal 1 and provided with clampinggrooves 21 the bottoms of which are opened. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , one end of the clamping groove close to the roots of thecooling fins 2 is in the shape of a rectangle and the other end of the clamping groove is in the shape of a circle, and the diameter of the circle is more than the width of the rectangle; aclamping piece 11 corresponding to the clampinggroove 21 is extended out of thepedestal 1; thecooling fins 2 are stamped to enable the clampinggroove 21 to pass through the clampingpiece 11; thecooling fins 2 are clamped and connected with the clampingpiece 11 through the clampinggroove 21; the cooling fins and thepedestal 1 are firmly connected with each other due to the clampinggroove 21; and the plurality of thecooling fins 2 are subjected to layered arrangement to form acooling fin group 3. - Two methods are mainly provided for connecting the
cooling fins 2 and thepedestal 1 in the prior art. One method is as follows: the coolingfins 2 are connected with thepedestal 1 by means of welding; a welding part is required to be subjected to nickel plating processing in the process; a solder paste is required to be used in the welding process; and the welding process is complex so that the quality is difficult to guarantee. The other method is as follows: a plurality of grooves are arranged on thepedestal 1 and connected with thecooling fins 2 after the grooves are extruded and deformed. The process has the disadvantages of inconvenient processing and low production efficiency. The fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, improves the method for connecting thecooling fins 2 and thepedestal 1. During the processing, the clampinggrooves 21 at the roots of thecooling fins 2 are easy to mold through the die; the clampingpieces 11 extended out of the pedestal are simple and convenient to process; the clampinggrooves 21 are connected with the clampingpieces 11 by means of clamping, so that the connection between the clampinggrooves 21 and the clampingpieces 11 is reliable; and the clamping process can be completed through the stamping die. Therefore, the fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, overcomes the technical prejudice, and can greatly reduce the processes, reduce the production cost and improve the production efficiency when the fin heat sink provided by the invention is processed. - Moreover, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , aclamp 22 is extended out of one side of the clampinggroove 21; when thecooling fins 2 are stamped to thepedestal 1, theclamp 22 is molded through a die; theclamp 22 is sleeved with the clampingpiece 11; and the height of theclamp 22 is equal to or less than the distance betweenadjacent cooling fins 2. Due to theclamp 22, the contact area between thepedestal 1 and thecooling fins 2 is increased, thereby not only thepedestal 1 and thecooling fins 2 are more firmly connected with each other but also the heat transfer area is increased so that the heat dissipation is enhanced. - Furthermore, as illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the embodiment is also provided with aheat pipe 4; and one end of theheat pipe 4 passes through the coolingfin group 3 and the other end of theheat pipe 4 is connected with thepedestal 1. - In order to control the distance between the cooling
fins 2, as illustrated inFIG. 3 , the coolingfins 2 are provided with bendingparts 23. Each coolingfin 2 is provided with a plurality of bendingparts 23 the bending width of which is equal to the distance between theadjacent cooling fins 2. - In order to enhance the heat dissipation of the
heat pipe 4,fastening pieces 24 sleeved with theheat pipe 4 are molded at joints of thecooling fins 2 and theheat pipe 4. Thefastening pieces 24 are similar to theclamps 22 and also have the functions of fixing and heat dissipation enhancement. - The clamping
groove 21 illustrated in the invention has the function of enabling thecooling fins 2 to be clamped and connected with thepedestal 1. A plurality of embodiments are feasible.FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate preferred embodiments of the clampinggroove 21, andFIGS. 5 to 10 illustrate other embodiments of the clampinggroove 21. - When the number of the clamping
groove 21 is only one, the clampinggroove 21 comprises a clamping and connecting groove and a connecting groove which are communicated with each other, wherein the connecting groove is close to thepedestal 1 and the maximum width of the clamping and connecting groove is more than the minimum width of the connecting groove, so that the clampingpiece 11 can be effectively clamped and connected into the clampinggroove 21. Of course, the number of the clampinggrooves 21 can be increased. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , one end of the clampinggroove 21 close to the roots of thecooling fins 2 is in the shape of a rectangle and the other end of the clampinggroove 21 is in the shape of a rectangle with larger width. As illustrated inFIG. 6 , the clampinggroove 21 is in the shape of a trapezoid, and one end of the clampinggroove 21 close to the roots of thecooling fins 2 is a short bottom edge of the trapezoid. As illustrated inFIG. 7 , the clampinggroove 21 is “cross-shaped”. What needs to be specified is that: as illustrated inFIG. 8 , the clampinggroove 21 can also be in the shape of a curve with radian, in which case the clamping effect can also be achieved. - When the number of the clamping
grooves 21 is more than one, other embodiments are also feasible. As illustrated inFIG. 9 , the clampinggrooves 21 are rectangular; the number of the clampinggrooves 21 is two; and side faces of the two clampinggrooves 21 are nonparallel to each other. - The cross section of the pedestal can also be in the shape other than rectangle.

FIG. 10 , the coolingfins 2 are provided with two clampinggrooves 21 perpendicular to the pedestal. - A plurality of clamping
grooves 21 can be assembled for use, so as to improve theembodiment 1. As illustrated inFIGS. 11 and 12 , the coolingfins 2 are provided with alarge clamping groove 21 and threesmall clamping grooves 21. Due to the arrangement of a plurality of the clampinggrooves 21, the contact area between the coolingfins 2 and thepedestal 1 is larger. Consequently, the heat dissipation can be enhanced. Other parts of the embodiment are similar to those of theembodiment 1. - The method for processing the fin heat sink, provided by the invention, comprises the following steps of:
- (1) preparing the
pedestal 1, in which thepedestal 1 is connected withconvex clamping pieces 11 which are arranged on cooling end faces of thecooling fins 2, and the clampingpieces 11 are extended along straight lines parallel to the cooling end faces; - (2) stamping the
cooling fins 2 and preparing thecooling fins 2 through a stamping die, in which clampinggrooves 21 the bottoms of which are opened are stamped and molded at roots of thecooling fins 2 and clamped and connected with the clampingpieces 11 of thepedestal 1; and - (3) performing assembly, in which the plurality of the
cooling fins 2 are clamped and connected with the clampingpieces 11 through the clampinggrooves 21 in succession. - More preferably, as illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the steps (2) and (3) can be completed on the same station. More specifically, the stamping die is aprogressive die 5; theprepared pedestal 1 is arranged inside a lower die of theprogressive die 5; the extension direction of the clampingpieces 11 is consistent with the stamping direction of a punch press; and theprogressive die 5 stamps down the stamped and moldedcooling fins 2 to enable thecooling fins 2 to be sleeved with the clampingpieces 11 through the clampinggrooves 21. - Two methods are mainly provided for connecting the
cooling fins 2 and thepedestal 1 in the prior art. One method is as follows: the coolingfins 2 are connected with thepedestal 1 by means of welding; a welding part is required to be subjected to nickel plating processing in the process; a solder paste is required to be used in the welding process; and the welding process is complex so that the quality is difficult to guarantee. The other method is as follows: a plurality of grooves are arranged on thepedestal 1 and connected with thecooling fins 2 after the grooves are extruded and deformed. The process has the disadvantages of inconvenient processing and low production efficiency. As for the fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, the coolingfins 2 are provided with the clampinggrooves 21 through stamping molding; thepedestal 1 is provided with the clampingpieces 11; and thecooling fins 2 are clamped and connected to thepedestal 1 along the extension direction of the clampingpieces 11, and then the assembly of the heat sink can be completed. Therefore, the assembly process is very simple and convenient and can be further completed through the stamping die. The fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, overcomes the technical prejudice, and the method provided by the invention can greatly reduce the processes, reduce the production cost and improve the production efficiency when the fin heat sink provided by the invention is processed by the method. - Moreover, as illustrated in

grooves 21 illustrated in the invention have the function of enabling thecooling fins 2 to be clamped and connected with thepedestal 1. A plurality of embodiments are feasible. TheFIG. 2 only illustrates the preferred embodiment, in which the requirement on the shape of the clampinggrooves 21 is as follows: the number of the clamping grooves is at least two, and certain included angles are formed ondifferent clamping grooves 21 so that the clampinggrooves 21 can be clamped and connected with the clampingpieces 11; or the number of the clampinggrooves 21 is at least one and the clampinggroove 21 comprises a clamping and connecting groove and a connecting groove which are communicated with each other, wherein the connecting groove is close to thepedestal 1, and the maximum width of the clamping and connecting groove is more than the minimum width of the connecting groove. - The
pedestal 1 can be subjected to machine shaping by extruding, casting, cutting or other machining means. - In the embodiment, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , the clampingpieces 11 and the pedestal can be integrated into a whole by the above means. And the clampingpieces 11 and thepedestal 1 can be also arranged as separable; thepedestal 1 is provided with grooves; and roots of the clampingpieces 11 are connected with the pedestal through the grooves. Therefore, the pedestal can be conveniently replaced. Consequently, the processing method provided by the invention is convenient for producing heat sinks with a plurality of specifications. - Furthermore, the clamping
grooves 21 are provided withclamps 22 through stamping molding; theclamps 22 are in tight fit with the clampingpieces 11; and the height of theclamps 22 is equal to or less than the distance between theadjacent cooling fins 2. Due to the arrangement of theclamps 22, the contact area between thepedestal 1 and thecooling fins 2 is increased, thereby not only thepedestal 1 and thecooling fins 2 are more firmly connected with each other but also the heat transfer area is increased so that the heat dissipation is enhanced. - Fastening
pieces 24 are stamped and molded in sleeved positions of thecooling fins 2 and theheat pipe 4 and sleeved with theheat pipe 4. In order to enhance the heat dissipation of theheat pipe 4, thefastening pieces 24 sleeved with theheat pipe 4 are molded at joints of thecooling fins 2 and theheat pipe 4.
