  • Publication number: 20100059207
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for assembling the thermal module. According to the invention, the fin can be combined with a heat pipe and a joint material to form the thermal module. The fin includes a main body having a through hole and an feeding hole communicating with each other. The heat pipe passes through the through hole. The joint material is injected into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole. In addition, when the fin is combined with the heat pipe, the feeding hole is above the through hole, the joint material flows downward along the clearance, and the clearance gradually narrows along a flowing direction of the joint material.
