Abstract
A thermal module includes at least one heat dissipating element, at least one cooling chip, and a heat radiating unit. The cooling chip has a cold end in contact with one side of the heat dissipating element and a hot end in contact with the heat radiating unit. With the cooling chip in direct contact with the heat radiating unit and the heat dissipating element, the heat dissipating element can be directly cooled by the cooling chip, and the thermal module can have a simplified structure to occupy a reduced room while providing enhanced heat dissipating efficiency and accordingly upgraded heat-dissipating effect.
Claims10
A thermal module, comprising at least one heat dissipating element, at least one cooling chip, and a heat radiating unit;
- the heat radiating unit including a heat-radiating element and at least one heat pipe;
- the cooing chip having a cold end contacting with one side of the heat dissipating element and a hot end contacting with the heat radiating unit;
- the heat-radiating element being formed with at least one through hole and at least one recess;
- the heat pipe having a heat-dissipating end extended through the through hole on the heat-radiating element, and a heat-conducting end held between the recess of the heat radiating element and the hot end of the cooling chip;
- and wherein the heat dissipating element has a heat-radiating face formed on the side of the heat dissipating element in contact with the cold end of the cooling chip, and a heat-dissipation space formed inside the heat dissipating element to contact with the heat radiating face.
(canceled)
