  • Publication number: 20200068745
    Abstract: A heat dissipation structure of electronic device includes a main body having a first heat pipe set and a second heat pipe set. The first heat pipe set includes at least one first heat pipe normal to the main body. A first thermal module and a first fan are disposed on the first heat pipe. The second heat pipe set includes at least one second heat pipe having a first section normal to the main body and a second section extending from the first section in parallel to the main body. A second thermal module and a second fan are disposed on the second section. The first fan creates a first airflow flowing through the first and second thermal modules in a first direction. The second fan creates a second airflow flowing through the second thermal module in a second direction.

  • Patent number: 10021813
    Abstract: A thermal module assembling structure includes a heat sink, at least one leaf spring, at least one holding member and a shaft rod. The heat sink has a base seat and multiple radiating fins disposed on the base seat. At least one perforation is formed on each of two opposite sides of the base seat. The heat sink is correspondingly assembled on the leaf spring. At least one engagement post is disposed on the leaf spring corresponding to the perforation. The holding member is slidably capped on the engagement post and has a first end and a second end. The second end is formed with a socket having an internal receiving space in which a raised section is formed. The engagement post is inlaid in the receiving space. The shaft rod passes through the heat sink. Two ends of the shaft rod are respectively connected with the engagement posts.

  • Patent number: 9625218
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device includes a mounting bracket and a thermal module. The mounting bracket has at least one retaining hole and a mounting section, and the thermal module includes a plurality of radiating fins, to which the mounting bracket is connected. On the radiating fins, at least one engaging zone is provided for correspondingly engaging with the mounting bracket, and at least one locking portion is formed for correspondingly engaging with the retaining hole. With the above structural design, the mounting bracket can be more firmly and stably connected to the thermal module and be more accurately located on the radiating fins without the need of welding, so that the manufacturing cost for welding is saved. A method of manufacturing the heat dissipation device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8931972
    Abstract: A thermal module mount structure including a first mount body and a second mount body. The first mount body defines therein a first passage and has multiple engaging sections inward extending into the first passage. The second mount body is disposed in the first passage and has multiple complementary engaging sections complementary to the engaging sections. Each of the complementary engaging sections has a moving space and multiple engaging splits in communication therewith. The second mount body is vertically displaceable within the first passage, whereby the first and second mount bodies can be relatively rotated to insert the engaging sections into the engaging splits at different heights. Accordingly, the height of the mount structure is changeable by means of adjusting the second mount body in accordance with different heights of radiating fins. Therefore, the mount structure has high commonness so that the cost for developing the molds is reduced.
