Abstract
A fixing frame for a heat sink includes boards, at least one foldable plate, and connection members. The boards surround a hollow area, and the hollow area includes a main accommodating space and at least one subsidiary accommodating space at one side of the main accommodating space. At least one foldable plate is detachably connected to one of the boards and is disposed in the subsidiary accommodating space. The connection members are disposed on the boards. By means of the connection members, the fixing frame mounts the heat sink on a circuit board of various sizes to dissipate heat therefrom.
Claims13
A fixing frame for a heat sink, for mounting the heat sink to a circuit board to dissipate heat from an electronic component thereof, the fixing frame comprising:
- a plurality of boards surrounding a hollow area, the hollow area including a main accommodating space and at least one subsidiary accommodating space at one side of the main accommodating space;
- at least one foldable plate detachably connected to one of the boards and disposed in the at least one subsidiary accommodating space;
- and
- a plurality of connection members disposed on the boards, the fixing frame being assembled to the heat sink by means of the connection members,
- wherein a surface of the foldable plate facing the mounted heat sink is flush with a surface of the board to which the foldable plate is connected.
A fixing frame for a heat sink, for mounting the heat sink to a circuit board to dissipate heat from an electronic component thereof, the fixing frame comprising:
- a plurality of boards surrounding a hollow area, the hollow area including a main accommodating space and at least one subsidiary accommodating space at one side of the main accommodating space;
- a plurality of connection members disposed on the boards, the fixing frame being assembled to the heat sink by means of the connection members,
- wherein the boards include a plurality of first support clasps, and the circuit board is positioned on the first support clasps;
- wherein a plurality of second support clasps are disposed at a periphery of the subsidiary accommodating space, a plurality of protrusions corresponding to the second support clasps extend from a periphery of the circuit board, and the second support clasps are engaged with the protrusions respectively.
