BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to a heat sink structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to an annular heat sink structure and a manufacturing method thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

The conventional cylindrical heat sink includes a cylindrical body and multiple radiating fins connected to the circumference of the cylindrical body. There are several conventional measures for connecting the radiating fins to the circumference of the cylindrical body. For example, a prior art discloses a cylindrical heat sink and a method of tightly planting radiating fins of the heat sink and an application device thereof. According to the method, a mold seat drivable by a power source to create stepped rotational operation is provided. A cylindrical body is located on the mold seat. The circumference of the cylindrical body is formed with multiple channels. A radiating fin assembly is provided. The radiating fin assembly includes multiple radiating fins arranged on a lateral side of the mold seat. The cylindrical body intermittently rotates to drive and align the channels with the radiating fins. A radiating fin insertion device is used to push the radiating fins and sequentially insert and locate the radiating fins into the channels of the cylindrical body. After the radiating fins are fully inserted in the channels of the cylindrical body, a successive tightening process is performed to tightly integrally connect the radiating fins to the channels. Accordingly, the radiating fins are located on the circumference of the cylindrical body to form a heat sink.

Another prior art discloses a tightening method for a heat sink. The heat sink includes a heat conduction base seat and a radiating fin assembly. One surface of the base seat is formed with multiple channels and guide grooves positioned between two channels. The radiating fin assembly includes multiple radiating fins. A mold having an internal space and a press end section is provided. A tightening/connection process is performed to press and insert the heat sink into the internal space of the mold. The press end section is axially thrust into the guide grooves to compress and deform the channels. At this time, the radiating fins are pressed to tightly integrally connect with the deformed channels. The above method is better than the pressing and riveting method of the conventional heat sink. The breakage of the puncher or blade mold can be effectively reduced to promote the ratio of good products. Also, the precision and quality of the products are increased. This method is conveniently applicable to various heat sinks to form different types or shapes of heat sinks.

In both the above methods, the radiating fin is first inserted into a channel and then a mold is used to press the guide grooves on two sides of the channel to deform the channel and press the radiating fin to tightly integrally connect the radiating fin with the deformed channel. Such process has some problems as follows:

  • 1. The outer surface of the cylindrical body not only is formed with the channels, but also is formed with the guide grooves. The channels and the guide grooves are alternately arranged. That is, the number of the channels per unit surface area is reduced. As a result, the number of the mounted radiating fins is reduced.
  • 2. The manufacturing method includes numerous steps so that the manufacturing time is quite long.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective assembled view of the present invention. The heat sink 10 of the present invention includes a main body 12 and multiple first radiating fins 13 connected to an outer circumference of the main body 12. The main body has a first end 121 and a second end 122.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second ends 121, 122 of the main body 12 define a longitudinal direction a. Referring to FIG. 4B, multiple main body connection sections 123 are formed on the surface of the main body and extend from the first end 121 to the second end 122 in the longitudinal direction a. (The main body connection sections 123 are distributed over the outer circumference of the main body equivalently or inequivalently). The main body 12 is formed with multiple thrust sections 124 near the first end 121 in communication with the main body connection sections 123 (as shown in FIG. 4B). The thrust sections 124 make it easier to fit the first radiating fins 13 into the main body connection sections 123 from the first end 121 of the main body 12. The form of the thrust sections 124 is varied with the form of the main body connection sections 123. This will be detailedly described hereinafter.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the multiple first radiating fins 13 are annularly arranged around the surface of the main body 12. Each first radiating fin 13 has a first connection section 131 corresponding to the main body connection section 123 of the main body 12. The first connection section 131 can be thrust into the main body connection section 123 from the first end 121 to the second end 122 in the longitudinal direction a so as to integrally connect the first radiating fin 13 with the main body 12.

Further referring to FIGS. 3A to 3C, the first connection section 131 is formed with a right angle 132 or a guide section. For example, the guide section is, but not limited to, a round angle 133a or a reverse angle 133b. By means of the guide section, the first connection section 131 can be easily and smoothly thrust into the thrust section 124 and the main body connection section 123.

Please further refer to FIGS. 4A to 4C. Also referring to FIG. 3A, in a preferred embodiment, the main body connection section 123 is a connection channel and the thrust section 124 is also a connection channel. The thrust section 124 has a width slightly larger than that of the main body connection section 123 (as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B). The first connection section 131 is a first end edge of the first radiating fin 13 (as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4C). The first connection section 131 is connected to the main body connection section 123 (as shown in FIG. 4B) by means of press fit.

Please further refer to FIGS. 5A to 5D. In another embodiment, the main body connection sections 123a are ribs and the thrust sections 124a are also ribs. The thrust section 124a has a width slightly smaller than that of the main body connection section 123a (as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B). The first connection section 131a is a connection channel (as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D). The first connection section 131A is connected to the main body connection section 123A (as shown in FIG. 5A) by means of press fit.

Please further refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B. In another embodiment, the main body connection section 123 is formed with a raised/recessed non-planar surface 1231, while the first connection section 131 has a planar surface (as shown in FIG. 4C). Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, in another embodiment, the first connection section 131 is formed with a raised/recessed non-planar surface 1311 and the main body connection section 123 has a planar surface (as shown in FIG. 4A). This can enhance the connection friction therebetween to avoid detachment of the first connection section 131. The configurations of the main body connection section and the first connection section are not limited to the above embodiments. In still another embodiment, both the main body connection section 123 and the first connection section 131 are formed with raised/recessed non-planar surfaces 1231, 1311, which are mated with each other (as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D).

As shown in FIG. 8B, in another embodiment, the first thickness f1 of the first radiating fin 13 is unequal to the second thickness f2 of the second radiating fin 14.

The first radiating fin 13 is made of a first material, while the second radiating fin 14 is made of a second material. The first material is a metal material and the second material is also a metal material. The first material is identical or not identical to the second material. The metal is selected from a group consisting of gold, silver, copper and aluminum.

As shown in FIGS. 8C and 8D, in another embodiment, the first radiating fin 13e has a first bending angle 134e, while the second radiating fin 14e has a second bending angle 144e.

In still another embodiment, the first radiating fin 13 and/or the second radiating fin 14 are equivalently or inequivalently tightly connected to the main body.

Please further refer to FIGS. 9, 10, 11A and 11B. FIG. 9 is a flow chart of the manufacturing method of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the present invention includes steps of:

61. providing a mold 40 as shown in FIG. 10, the mold 40 having an inner circumference 41, an upper surface 42 and multiple splits 43, the inner circumference 41 defining an internal space 44 in which a central body 45 is disposed, the multiple splits 43 being radially formed around the internal space 44 in communication with the internal space 44 and downward extending from the upper surface 42;
