  • Patent number: 8756811
    Abstract: A heat sink having heat-dissipating fins capable of increasing heat-dissipating area-includes a heat pipe and the heat-dissipating fins. The heat pipe has a heat-absorbing section and a heat-releasing section. The heat-dissipating fin has a lower plate and an upper plate. The upper plate is bent to be overlapped on the lower plate, thereby forming a heat-dissipating path (b) therebetween. The lower plate and the upper plate are provided with a through-hole respectively in such a manner that these two through-holes correspond to each other. The heat-releasing section of the heat pipe penetrates the through-holes of the heat-dissipating fins successively. In this way, the heat-dissipating area in the same height can be increased, thereby improving the heat-dissipating efficiency of the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 8375584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat sink of a large area, in which a heat-dissipating body is further provided in its limited space. The method for manufacturing a fin includes the steps of providing a fin, cutting the fin to form a foldable piece thereon, folding back the foldable piece to be overlapped on the fin and form an accommodating hole, and punching the folded piece and the fin to form two overlapped through-holes. The fin, the heat-dissipating body and heat pipes are assembled together to obtain the heat sink. Since the fins and the heat-dissipating body dissipate the heat of the heat-generating element simultaneously, the heat-dissipating efficiency of the heat sink can be improved.
