  • Publication number: 20110094723
    Abstract: A combination of a fastener and a thermal-conducting member is mounted on an electronic heat-generating member. The fastener includes a plate provided with an opening for allowing the electronic heat-generating element to be disposed therein; posts connected to the plate and formed around the opening; and clamping arms extending from the plate opposite to the posts. The thermal-conducting member is disposed on the plate to span the opening. The clamping arms are bent to press in the thermal-conducting member, thereby forming on the surface of the thermal-conducting member with a plurality of positioning notches for allowing the clamping arms to be inserted therein. With this arrangement, the fastener can be combined with the thermal-conducting member tightly. Thus, the heat generated by the electronic heat-generating element can be continuously conducted to the outside, so that the temperature of the electronic heat-generating element can be kept in a normal range.

  • Publication number: 20110056670
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a frame, a vapor chamber fixed to the frame, and a heat-dissipating plate adhered to one surface of the vapor chamber. The heat-dissipating plate has a first heat-dissipating fins region and a second heat-dissipating fins region. The first heat-dissipating fins region and the second heat-dissipating fins region are composed of a plurality of first heat-dissipating fins and a plurality of second heat-dissipating fins that are arranged at intervals, respectively. The pitch of the first heat-dissipating fins in the first heat-dissipating fins region is smaller than that of the second heat-dissipating fins in the second heat-dissipating fins region. By this arrangement, airflow can flow freely among the respective heat-dissipating fins. The first heat-dissipating fins region is used to dissipate a great amount of heat, while the second heat-dissipating fins region is used to exhaust the air rapidly. Thus, the heat-dissipating efficiency can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20110027738
    Abstract: A vapor chamber having supporting structure with height difference, includes a shell, tissue wick structure, working fluid filled into the shell and supporting structure with height difference, disposed over inner walls of the shell, accommodated in the shell, abutted against the wick structure, and including first corrugated piece and second corrugated piece, both of which are connected to each other. The longitudinal distance between top and bottom of the first corrugated piece is a first amplitude. The longitudinal distance between top and bottom of the second corrugated piece is a second amplitude larger than the first amplitude. Since the second amplitude provides the shell with greater supporting force, when the shell is pressed to make heating element and the shell contact closely, a recessing phenomenon won't occur to the shell, thereby, increasing the contact tightness and promoting the thermally conductive efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20100326629
    Abstract: A vapor chamber with separator includes shell, capillary tissue, separator, supporting structure and working fluid. The shell includes inter-sealed lower and upper shell plates. Partial section of the lower shell plate projects downwardly and forms accommodating room therein. The capillary tissue is arranged by distributing over inner wall of the lower shell plate. The separator overlapped the capillary tissue is arranged penetrating trough corresponding to the accommodating room. Liquid passage is formed between the lower shell plate and the separator. The supporting structure is accommodated in the shell with upper and lower sides respectively inter-abutted against the upper shell plate and the separator. Vapor passage formed between the upper shell plate and the separator is communicated to the liquid passage. The working fluid is filled into the shell. Since the vapor and liquid working fluids are separated by the separator to avoid interference, the cooling performance is thus boosted.

  • Publication number: 20100132922
    Abstract: A vapor chamber is provided to include shell, capillary tissue, working fluid, heat-absorbing section and heat-releasing section. A hollow chamber is formed in the shell. The capillary tissue is arranged and accommodated in the hollow chamber. The working fluid is injected into and filled in the hollow chamber. Two corresponding surfaces of the shell at the heat-releasing section are respectively a non-planar shape. Because the two corresponding surfaces of the shell at the heat-releasing section are respectively a non-planar shape, the structure strength of the vapor chamber is higher and the anti-deforming ability is superior, thereby the using life of the vapor chamber being prolonged. In addition, the vapor chamber can be combined with cooling fins to become a cooling device.
