Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The disclosure relates to heat dissipation modules such as those used for dissipating heat generated from electronic components in electronic devices.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- With the continuing development of electronics technology, many electronic components are nowadays made in a small size but with a high operating frequency capability. For example, electronic packages such as CPUs (central processing units) employed in electronic devices may run at very high speeds and generate much heat. A heat dissipation module is commonly installed in such kinds of electronic devices, in contact with the electronic component for quickly removing the generated heat.
- The heat dissipation module typically includes a heat absorber soldered to the electronic component, a plurality of fins, a heat pipe connecting the heat absorber and the fins, and a centrifugal fan. In manufacturing, the fins are usually fixed at an air outlet of the centrifugal fan by a reflow soldering process. When soldering the heat absorber to the electronic component, a soldering speed should be controlled and adjusted according to a temperature in a reflow oven and a size of the heat dissipation module. As such, the manufacturing process is complicated, and pollutants are produced as by-products of the process. Furthermore, the solder between the fins and the centrifugal fan is prone to crack and lift when the heat dissipation module has been in service for a long time. When this happens, the fins do not firmly contact the centrifugal fan, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation module is reduced.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a heat dissipation module which can solve the above-described problems.
- Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the 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 heat dissipation module. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the views.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a heat dissipation module in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a preassembled view of the heat dissipation module ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a fully assembled view of the heat dissipation module ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 , aheat dissipation module 100 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is provided. Theheat dissipation module 100 includes a heat absorber 10 to absorb heat generated from an electronic component (not shown), acentrifugal fan 40, afin assembly 30 mounted on thecentrifugal fan 40, and aheat pipe 20 interconnecting the heat absorber 10 and thefin assembly 30. Heat absorbed by theheat absorber 10 is transferred to thefin assembly 30 via theheat pipe 20. Airflow generated by thecentrifugal fan 40 flows through thefin assembly 30 to enhance a heat dissipation efficiency of thefin assembly 30. - Specifically, the heat absorber 10 is rectangular and flat. A bottom surface of the heat absorber 10 is used to thermally contact the electronic component.
- The
heat pipe 20 is flat and has a generally “C” shaped configuration. Theheat pipe 20 includes anevaporation section 21 at one end thereof, acondenser section 22 at an opposite end thereof, and a connectingsection 23 interconnecting theevaporation section 21 and thecondenser section 22. Theevaporation section 21 is straight and attached to a top surface of the heat absorber 10. Thecondenser section 22 is straight and attached to thefin assembly 30. The connectingsection 23 is curved. - The
fin assembly 30 includes a plurality offins 31, and arib 32 disposed on some of thefins 31. - Each
fin 31 includes amain body 311, atab 312 extending upwardly from a top end of themain body 311, and twoflanges 313. Theflanges 313 extend perpendicularly from the top end and a bottom end of themain body 311, respectively, in a same direction. - Each
main body 311 is an “L” shaped sheet. Acutout 314 is formed at a bottom corner of eachmain body 311. Themain bodies 311 are aligned with each other, and are parallel to and spaced from each other. Thecutouts 314 of thefins 31 cooperatively define a channel to receive thecondenser section 22 therein. A width of eachcutout 314 is equal to the width of thecondenser section 22. Alternatively, thecutouts 314 can be omitted. In such case, thecondenser section 22 of theheat pipe 20 can contact either thetop flanges 313 or thebottom flanges 313 of the plurality offins 31. - Each
tab 312 is integrally formed with the correspondingmain body 311. That is, thefin 31 is a single monolithic body having thetab 312 extending from themain body 311. In this embodiment, thetab 312 is rectangular. A bottom end of thetab 312 is level with theflange 313 at the top end of themain body 311. A top end of thetab 312 is above theflange 313 at the top end of themain body 311. Thetabs 312 are provided for engaging with the centrifugal fan 40 (see below). In alternative embodiments, eachtab 312 can instead be formed at a lateral side of themain body 31 or at the bottom end of themain body 31. In such cases, thetabs 312 engage with suitable configurations provided on thecentrifugal fan 40. - The
flanges 313 of eachfin 31 abut a neighboringfin 31, and theflanges 313 of thefins 31 are aligned with each other. Thebottom flanges 313 of thefins 31 at thecutouts 314 contact thecondenser section 22. - The
rib 32 is arranged on some of thetop flanges 313, and is located at a central area of the top end of thefin assembly 30 to resist a part of thecentrifugal fan 40. In this embodiment, therib 32 is an elongated plate. A thickness of therib 32 is slightly less than or equal to a height of eachtab 312. - The
centrifugal fan 40 includes aframe 41, and animpeller 42 received in theframe 41. Theframe 41 includes abase 411, and atop plate 412 covering thebase 411. Thebase 411 and thetop plate 412 are engaged together to cooperatively form areceiving space 46. - The
base 411 includes abottom plate 413, and asidewall 414 integrally extending upward from a periphery of thebottom plate 413. A center of thebottom plate 413 is used for supporting theimpeller 42. Thebottom plate 413, thebottom flanges 313 of thefins 31 and a bottom surface of theheat pipe 20 are aligned with each other, and are substantially coplanar with each other. - The
sidewall 414 includes an arc-shaped section 415, aflat sideboard 416 extending from an end of the arc-shaped section 415, atongue 418 extending from an opposite end of the arc-shaped section 415, and a plurality ofbulges 417 each with a through hole. Thetongue 418 is opposite to theflat sideboard 416. Thebulges 417 are arranged on thesidewall 414 at even intervals from each other. In this embodiment, there are fourbulges 417. Anair outlet 43 is formed at an end of the base 411 between thetongue 418 and theflat sideboard 416. A height of thesidewall 414 is substantially equal to that of themain body 311 of eachfin 31. A top end of thesidewall 414 is aligned with and substantially coplanar with top ends of thetop flanges 313 of themain body 311. - The
top plate 412 is flat and disposed opposite to thebottom plate 413. Acircular air inlet 44 is defined a center portion of thetop plate 412. A plurality ofears 419 each with a through hole is formed on thetop plate 412, theears 419 corresponding to thebulges 417. An end of thetop plate 412 located at theair outlet 43 extends out beyond thebottom plate 413 and resists therib 32. A plurality ofslits 45 is defined in the end of thetop plate 412, corresponding to thetabs 312. Theslits 45 are arranged evenly and spaced from each other. A size of each slit 45 is substantially equal to that of eachtab 312, and the number ofslits 45 is equal to the number oftabs 312. Thetabs 312 penetrate through theslits 45 and are bent to firmly engage with the top plate 412 (see also below). A bottom surface of thetop plate 412 is substantially coplanar with a bottom surface of therib 32. - The
impeller 42 is received in the receivingspace 46. Theimpeller 42 includes ahub 421, and a plurality of blades extending from a periphery of thehub 421. - When the
heat dissipation module 100 is assembled, thetop plate 412 of thecentrifugal fan 40 is attached to thebase 411 by connecting thebulges 417 and theears 419. In detail, screws are extended through and engaged in the through holes of theears 419 and thebulges 417. Thetabs 312 of thefins 31 penetrate through theslits 45 correspondingly to be exposed above thetop plate 412, and the end of thetop plate 412 resists therib 32. The exposed portions of thetabs 312 on thetop plate 412 are deformed with a press (not shown), so that the exposed portions of thetabs 312 snap on the end of thetop plate 412 horizontally and thereby firmly connect thefins 31 and thecentrifugal fan 40 together. Thus thetabs 312 are bent and engaged on the end of thetop plate 412. Then theheat absorber 40 is attached to the electronic component (not shown). Finally, theevaporation section 21 of theheat pipe 20 is attached to the top surface of theheat absorber 40 with thermal grease, and thecondenser section 22 is received in thecutouts 314 of the plurality offins 31. - When the
heat dissipation module 100 works, heat generated by the electronic component is conducted to thefins 31 via theheat absorber 10 and theheat pipe 20. Relatively cool air enters theframe 41 via theair inlet 44, an airflow is formed in theframe 41 with theimpeller 42 rotating at high speed, and the airflow blows out of theframe 41 via theair outlet 43 to dissipate heat of thefins 31 into the ambient air efficiently. - In summary, in the above-described embodiment, a plurality of
tabs 312 is formed on the plurality offins 31 adjacent to theair outlet 43, with thefins 31 extending toward a location of the end of thetop plate 412. A plurality ofslits 45 is defined in the end of thetop plate 412 corresponding to thetabs 312. In assembly, thetabs 312 penetrate through theslits 45 and are then deformed to snap on the end of thetop plate 412 horizontally. Thefins 31 and thecentrifugal fan 40 are engaged together with the above-described interengaging structures thereof, instead of by a traditional soldering process. Theheat dissipation module 100 is stable and durable, without creating pollutants during manufacture. Additionally, thetabs 312 in theslits 45 can be bent to their final positions with a press, and thereby a speed of assembly of theheat dissipation module 100 is increased. - It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than limit the disclosure. Variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. The above-described embodiments illustrate the scope of the disclosure but do not restrict the scope of the disclosure.
