  • Publication number: 20090313827
    Abstract: A method and a tool for manufacturing heat radiators are used to assemble a plurality of radiating fins to a heat transferring base. The method includes the steps of putting the radiating fins on the heat transferring base, putting blades between the radiating fins from at least one side of the heat transferring base, and pressing the blades to deform the heat transferring base to make the heat transferring base tightly fitted with the radiating fins. The tool includes a group of cutters and a pressing part. The cutter has blades having edges and pressing portions opposite to the edges. When the radiating fins are connected to the heat transferring base, the cutter may move between the radiating fins in a direction parallel to the heat transferring base. The pressing part is used for pressing the pressing portion to make the edges deform the heat transferring base, which forces the heat transferring base to be tightly fitted with the radiating fins.

  • Publication number: 20090038782
    Abstract: In a heat-conducting module and a method for manufacturing the same, the heat-conducting module includes a heat-conducting base and a heat pipe. The surface of the heat-conducting base is formed with a groove. Both sides of the groove protrude upwards to form two side walls respectively. Both of the side walls are provided with hooks respectively that are engaged with each other. The heat pipe is accommodated in the groove of the heat-conducting base and is thus covered and sandwiched by the two side walls. Via this arrangement, the connection between the heat pipe and the heat-conducting base can be firm and steady. In this way, the tight contact between the heat pipe and the heat-conducting base can be increased and the heat-conducting efficiency of the heat-conducting module can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20090038777
    Abstract: In a heat sink and the manufacturing method thereof, the heat sink includes heat dissipation fins and heat pipes, and the heat dissipation fins have through holes for the heat pipes to pass through. The heat dissipating fins also have a notch formed at the peripheral of the through hole and communicating with the through hole, and openings formed at two sides of the notch, respectively. According to the manufacturing method, after the heat pipe is assembled with the heat dissipating fin, press strips pass through the openings and are pressed inwardly to reduce the notch to make the notch and the heat pipe plastically deformed. Finally the press strips are removed.

  • Publication number: 20090040760
    Abstract: An illumination device having an unidirectional heat-dissipating route, includes a heat sink and a LED light module. The heat sink includes a heat plate, a heat pipe and a heat-dissipating body. The heat pipe has a heat absorbing portion and a heat dissipating portion with a horizontal position different to that of the heat absorbing portion. The heat absorbing portion is connected to the heat plate, and a plurality of grooves is formed in the heat pipe to be communicated with the heat absorbing portion and the heat dissipating portion. The heat absorbing portion is lower than the heat dissipating portion. The heat-dissipating body is connected to the heat dissipating portion. The LED light module is connected to the heat plate. Thus the LEDs are protected and prevented from being destroyed by the heat, and the working life thereof is increased greatly.

  • Publication number: 20080041567
    Abstract: A heat dissipating module includes thermal conductive pipes and a thermal fin module. The thermal fin module made by pressing and stacking is mounted on the thermal conductive pipes. Next, a jig is set on a top surface of the thermal fin module, and a force compresses the thermal fin module, so as to reduce a distance between two fins of the thermal fin module. Then, a fixing plate is set above the thermal fin module on the thermal conductive pipes, and the jig is removed. Finally, the fixing plate is fixed on the thermal fin module, and the thermal fin module is securely fixed with the thermal conductive pipes. Therefore, the assembled heat dissipating module could not be loosed and deformed during delivery and the engaging contact between the fins and the thermal conductive pipes are enhanced, so to increase the heat dissipating effect of the heat dissipating module.

  • Publication number: 20080028611
    Abstract: A heat dissipating device includes thermal conductive pipes and a plurality of thermal fin modules. Each thermal fin module made by pressing and stacking is mounted on the thermal conductive pipes. A retainer is located between each two thermal fin modules to compress the thermal fin module, so that a distance between two fins of the thermal fin module is reduced. Finally, a fixing plate is set above the last thermal fin module on the thermal conductive pipes to fix the thermal fin modules securely engaged with the thermal conductive pipes. Therefore, the assembled heat dissipating module could not be loosed and deformed during delivery and the engaging contact between the fins and the thermal conductive pipes are enhanced, so to increase the heat dissipating effect of the heat dissipating module.

  • Publication number: 20070151711
    Abstract: A heat sink and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat sink is used to contact on a heat-generating source of an electronic device. The heat sink comprises a heat-conducting member and at least one heat pipe. With the bottom edge of a heat-absorbing end of the heat pipe contacting with the surface of the heat-generating source, and with the tight connection between the heat pipe and the heat-conducting member, the heat-conducting rate and the heat-dissipating performance of the heat sink can be greatly increase.
