Abstract
This invention provides a method for assembling the thermal module. According to the invention, the fin can be combined with a heat pipe and a joint material to form the thermal module. The fin includes a main body having a through hole and an feeding hole communicating with each other. The heat pipe passes through the through hole. The joint material is injected into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole. In addition, when the fin is combined with the heat pipe, the feeding hole is above the through hole, the joint material flows downward along the clearance, and the clearance gradually narrows along a flowing direction of the joint material.

A cooling fin combined with a heat pipe and a joint material, the cooling fin comprising:
- a main body having a through hole and an feeding hole, the heat pipe passing through the through hole, the feeding hole communicating with the through hole, the joint material injected into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole;
- wherein when the cooling fin is combined with the heat pipe, the feeding hole is above the through hole, the joint material flows downward along the clearance, and the clearance gradually narrows along a flowing direction of the joint material.
A thermal module comprising:
- a heat pipe;
- a joint material;
- and
- a plurality of cooling fins, each cooling fin including a main body, the main body having a through hole and an feeding hole, the heat pipe passing through the through hole, the feeding hole communicating with the through hole, the joint material injected into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole;
- wherein when the thermal module is assembled, the feeding hole is located above the through hole, the joint material flows downward along the clearance, and the clearance gradually narrows along a flowing direction of the joint material.
A method for assembling a thermal module to combine a fin with a heat pipe and a joint material, the method comprising the following steps of:
- making a plurality of fins, each fin having a through hole and an feeding hole communicating with each other;
- making the heat pipe pass through the through holes of the fins and making the feeding hole above the through hole;
- injecting the joint material into the feeding hole to fill a clearance between the heat pipe and the inner wall of the through hole;
- and
- making the joint material flow downward along the clearance, the clearance gradually narrowing along the flowing direction.
