1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for combining heat conductive tube with heat dissipating fins, and more particularly to a method with which solder rings are employed to secure engagement between the heat conductive tubes and the heat dissipating fins.
2. Description of Related Art
Due to the fast operational speed of electronic appliances, heat dissipation becomes the major problem to maintain the electronic appliances to work normally. Numerous devices are developed to the market to rapidly dissipate the heat from the electronic appliances, however, some of them still suffer from different drawbacks. The most common heat dissipating device is composed of a fan assembly to use air flow to take away the heat resulted from the high rotational speed of the electronic appliance e.g. CPU. Another heat dissipating device is to use a fan assembly and a heat sink having multiple heat dissipating fins formed on the heat sink. Thus when the heat sink receives heat from the electronic appliance, the air flow from the fan assembly is able to effectively take the heat away from the heat sink so as to lower the electronic appliance's temperature.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide a method for combining heat conductive tubes with heat dissipating fins.
In one aspect of the present invention, the method of the present invention includes the following steps:
positioning heat conductive tubes;
extending the heat conductive tubes through holes in a very first heat dissipating fin;
placing solder rings around each of the heat conductive tubes and between the heat conductive tubes and the very first heat dissipating fin;
