Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes a casing and an impeller received in the casing. The casing defines an air outlet at one side thereof. An air channel is defined in the casing between a sidewall of the casing and outermost free ends of blades of the impeller. The air channel has an upstream end and a downstream end along a rotation direction of the impeller. A plurality of air guide plates is formed in the casing and disposed at a junction between the downstream end of the air channel and an area of the air outlet directly communicating with the downstream end of the air channel. The air guide plates are structured and arranged in a streamlined manner and pattern with respect to air flowing from the downstream end of the air channel towards the air outlet.

Abstract: A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink, an axial fan and a fan cover. The heat sink includes a plurality of fins defining a plurality of longitudinal airflow channels therebetween. The axial fan is mounted on a top side of the heat sink. The axial fan defines an air inlet located adjacent to and communicating with the airflow channels of the heat sink. The fan cover is between the heat sink and the axial fan. The fan cover includes a side plate surrounding a top end of the heat sink to make the axial fan just draw cooling air into the heat sink from a position around a bottom end of the heat sink. The cooling air flows upwardly through the heat sink to the air inlet of the axial fan to thereby take heat away from the heat sink.

Abstract: A thermal module includes a substrate and a heat pipe integrally embedded in the substrate by insert molding technique. An end of the heat pipe protrudes laterally out of the substrate. The heat pipe includes a tube, a wick structure attached to an inner surface of the tube and a working fluid filled in the tube. A method for manufacturing the thermal module includes following steps: providing a tube with a wick structure attached to an inner surface thereof, an end of the tube being open; placing the tube into a mold; injecting a molten metal into the mold to form a substrate with the tube being integrally embedded in the substrate and the open end of the tube protruding laterally out of the substrate; filling a working fluid into the tube via the open end; sealing the open end of the tube.

Abstract: A heat dissipation fan includes a fan frame, a bearing assembly, a stator and a rotor. The fan frame includes a base and a central tube. The central tube includes an open top end and an open bottom end. The base defines a receiving concave at a bottom surface thereof. The receiving concave communicates with the central hole. A top wall is formed by the base over the concave. A sidewall is formed between the top wall and the bottom surface of the base and surrounds the concave. A plurality of first locking units extend from the top wall into the receiving concave. The bearing assembly includes an oil sealing cover for sealing the open bottom end of the central tube. The oil sealing cover includes a plurality of second locking units which are detachably interlocked with the first locking units to mount the oil sealing cover to the base.
