## Abstract

A heat transfer component reinforcement structure includes a main body. The main body has a pair of first lateral sides and a pair of second lateral sides and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is correspondingly externally connected with the main body in at least one manner selected from the group consisting of that the reinforcement members are engaged, latched and connected with the first lateral sides and the second lateral sides of the main body and the reinforcement members are engaged, latched and connected with the junctions between the first and second lateral sides in four corners.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A heat transfer component reinforcement structure comprising a main body and a plurality of reinforcement members, the main body being a heat conduction base seat and having a first side and a second side respectively positioned on upper and lower sides of the main body, a pair of first lateral sides, and a pair of second lateral sides, the reinforcement members being correspondingly externally connected with the main body, the reinforcement members being disposed along a longitudinal direction of the main body and engaged, latched and connected with the first lateral sides, wherein each of the plurality of reinforcement members has a reinforcement main body with a horizontal portion and a vertical portion extending perpendicular to the horizontal portion such that the horizontal portion and the vertical portion together form a L-shape configuration, the reinforcement main body extending from one of the second lateral sides to an opposing one of the second lateral sides, the horizontal portion being generally planar and selectively attached to and partly overlapping the first side or the second side of the main body, the vertical portion abutting and covering one of the pair of first lateral sides, the reinforcement main body of each reinforcement member having a pair of opposing ends and a hook section disposed at each of the opposing ends normal to the reinforcement main body horizontal portion, the main body having an engagement split corresponding to each hook section in communication with the first and second sides of the main body, each hook section being inserted and engaged in the corresponding engagement split of the main body, thereby increasing strength of the main body and able to bear greater downward or upward pressure or tension without deforming or damaging.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The heat transfer component reinforcement structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body and the reinforcement member are made of the same material or different materials.
