FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the technical field of heat sinks, in particular to a fin heat sink with an improved structure and a processing method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the development of the technology, the size of electronic products is smaller and smaller, and correspondingly the heat productivity of unit space is higher and higher. Therefore, higher requirement on heat dissipation is required to be met. Heat sinks have become essential accessories of certain electronic products. A commonly used heat sink mainly comprises a pedestal and a plurality of fin groups with the functions of heat transfer and dissipation, wherein each fin group comprises a plurality of fins subjected to layered arrangement, and the heat sink can also be provided with a heat pipe to enhance the cooling effect.

The contact area between the fins and the pedestal and whether the fins and the pedestal are firmly connected with each other are important factors affecting the cooling efficiency of the heat sink. Enabling the fins to be connected with the pedestal is a key step in the production process of the heat sink. A common method is to enable the fins to be connected with the pedestal by welding, in which a solder paste or other soldering pastes are required to be taken as a welding medium, and nickel plating processing is sometimes required to be performed based on the materials of the fins and the pedestal. For example, the Chinese invention patent application, with the Application No. “200410003352.9” and the invention title “METHOD FOR PREPARING HEAT SINK BY WELDING”, discloses a method for connecting fins and a pedestal by welding.

The above welding method has the disadvantages of complex process, high cost, low production efficiency and environment-unfriendly property. Therefore, another common method is to improve the structure of the pedestal and the fins and enable the fins to be connected with the pedestal by embedding, riveting or other mechanical connection means. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent No. “03279661.7” and the patent title “HEAT SINK STRUCTURE”, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent No. “200620063119.4” and the patent title “IMPROVED ASSEMBLY OF FINS AND PEDESTAL FOR HEAT SINK”, and the like. The method is to arrange various independent fins in succession into the pedestal which is provided with grooves in advance, apply a die to extrude the grooves to enable the grooves to be deformed, and enable flaky roots of the fins and the deformed grooves to form interference fit, so as to enable the fins to be fixedly connected with the pedestal. The process has the disadvantages that: not only the grooves are difficult to process but also the process for extruding the grooves through the die is inconvenient and time-consuming and has high defective rate due to small gaps between the fins. Therefore, although the method has certain advantages compared with the method for preparing the heat sink by welding, the method has the disadvantages of complex process, inconvenient processing and high cost. Moreover, the contact area between the flaky roots of the fins and the pedestal is limited so as to affect the heat transfer efficiency.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The drawings are attached to provide further description of the invention.

Embodiment 1

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, comprises a pedestal 1 and a plurality of cooling fins 2, wherein roots of the cooling fins 2 are connected with the pedestal 1 and provided with clamping grooves 21 the bottoms of which are opened. As illustrated in FIG. 3, one end of the clamping groove close to the roots of the cooling fins 2 is in the shape of a rectangle and the other end of the clamping groove is in the shape of a circle, and the diameter of the circle is more than the width of the rectangle; a clamping piece 11 corresponding to the clamping groove 21 is extended out of the pedestal 1; the cooling fins 2 are stamped to enable the clamping groove 21 to pass through the clamping piece 11; the cooling fins 2 are clamped and connected with the clamping piece 11 through the clamping groove 21; the cooling fins and the pedestal 1 are firmly connected with each other due to the clamping groove 21; and the plurality of the cooling fins 2 are subjected to layered arrangement to form a cooling fin group 3.

Two methods are mainly provided for connecting the cooling fins 2 and the pedestal 1 in the prior art. One method is as follows: the cooling fins 2 are connected with the pedestal 1 by means of welding; a welding part is required to be subjected to nickel plating processing in the process; a solder paste is required to be used in the welding process; and the welding process is complex so that the quality is difficult to guarantee. The other method is as follows: a plurality of grooves are arranged on the pedestal 1 and connected with the cooling fins 2 after the grooves are extruded and deformed. The process has the disadvantages of inconvenient processing and low production efficiency. The fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, improves the method for connecting the cooling fins 2 and the pedestal 1. During the processing, the clamping grooves 21 at the roots of the cooling fins 2 are easy to mold through the die; the clamping pieces 11 extended out of the pedestal are simple and convenient to process; the clamping grooves 21 are connected with the clamping pieces 11 by means of clamping, so that the connection between the clamping grooves 21 and the clamping pieces 11 is reliable; and the clamping process can be completed through the stamping die. Therefore, the fin heat sink with the improved structure, provided by the invention, overcomes the technical prejudice, and can greatly reduce the processes, reduce the production cost and improve the production efficiency when the fin heat sink provided by the invention is processed.

Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a clamp 22 is extended out of one side of the clamping groove 21; when the cooling fins 2 are stamped to the pedestal 1, the clamp 22 is molded through a die; the clamp 22 is sleeved with the clamping piece 11; and the height of the clamp 22 is equal to or less than the distance between adjacent cooling fins 2. Due to the clamp 22, the contact area between the pedestal 1 and the cooling fins 2 is increased, thereby not only the pedestal 1 and the cooling fins 2 are more firmly connected with each other but also the heat transfer area is increased so that the heat dissipation is enhanced.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the embodiment is also provided with a heat pipe 4; and one end of the heat pipe 4 passes through the cooling fin group 3 and the other end of the heat pipe 4 is connected with the pedestal 1.

Of course, the number of the clamping grooves 21 can be increased. As illustrated in FIG. 5, one end of the clamping groove 21 close to the roots of the cooling fins 2 is in the shape of a rectangle and the other end of the clamping groove 21 is in the shape of a rectangle with larger width. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the clamping groove 21 is in the shape of a trapezoid, and one end of the clamping groove 21 close to the roots of the cooling fins 2 is a short bottom edge of the trapezoid. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the clamping groove 21 is “cross-shaped”. What needs to be specified is that: as illustrated in FIG. 8, the clamping groove 21 can also be in the shape of a curve with radian, in which case the clamping effect can also be achieved.

When the number of the clamping grooves 21 is more than one, other embodiments are also feasible. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the clamping grooves 21 are rectangular; the number of the clamping grooves 21 is two; and side faces of the two clamping grooves 21 are nonparallel to each other.
