Abstract
A heat dissipation device comprises at least two heat pipes (10) and a plurality of fins (20) thermally connected with the heat pipes (10). Each of the heat pipes (10) comprises a flattened evaporating portion (12) and a condensing portion (14). The evaporating portions (12) are closely connected with each other. A flat bottom surface (125) of the evaporating portions (12) of the heat pipes (10) directly engages with an electronic component. A flat top surface (120) of the evaporating portions (12) of the heat pipes (10) directly engages with a bottom surface of the fins (20). The condensing portions (14) of the heat pipes (10) extend through the fins (20).
Claims2
A heat dissipation device comprising:
- at least two heat pipes each comprising a flattened evaporating portion and a condensing portion, the evaporating portions closely connected with each other;
- a plurality of fins thermally connected with the heat pipes and having a bottom surface defining a middle protrusion and a pair of receiving spaces at flanks of the middle protrusion, the condensing portions of the heat pipes extending through the fins;
- and
- two locking members located at two lateral sides of the evaporating portions of the heat pipes, respectively, each of the locking members having a locking beam which is received in a corresponding receiving space and soldered to the bottom surface of the fins and juxtaposed to a corresponding lateral side of the evaporating portions of the heat pipes and two legs extending outwardly from opposite ends of the locking beam at an angle to the locking beam;
- wherein a flat bottom surface of the evaporating portions of the heat pipes is adapted for directly engaging with an electronic component;
- wherein the fins each form a flange perpendicularly extending from a bottom edge thereof;
- and
- wherein the flanges of the fins form a planar surface at a bottom of the middle protrusion of the fins for contacting with the evaporating portions of the heat pipes;
- wherein the evaporating portions of the heat pipes are wholly located at an underside of the planar surface formed by the flanges of the fins and have a flat top surface directly attached to the planar surface formed by the flanges of the fins.
