Abstract
A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink, a fan and a fan holder locking the fan on the heat sink. The heat sink defines two slots in two opposite lateral sides thereof. The fan holder includes two opposite first beams and another two opposite second beams. Each of the first beams has a latching leg extending downwardly therefrom and two locking tabs extending upwardly therefrom. The two latching legs are engaged into the two slots of the heat sink. The locking tabs are fastened to two lateral sides of the fan.
Claims16
A heat dissipation device comprising:
- a heat sink defining two slots in two opposite lateral sides thereof;
- a fan;
- and
- a fan holder comprising two opposite first beams and another two opposite second beams, each of the first beams having a latching leg extending downwardly therefrom and two locking tabs extending upwardly therefrom, the two latching legs engaged into the two slots of the heat sink, the locking tabs fastened to two lateral sides of the fan;
- and four restricting tabs respectively extend upwardly from the second beams and abut against front and rear sides of the fan, two restricting flakes extending downwardly from the second beam and abut against front and rear sides of the heat sink.
A heat dissipation device, comprising:
- a heat sink comprising a base and a plurality of parallel fins extending vertically from the base, two opposite lateral sides of the fins each defining an elongated slot at an upper portion thereof;
- a fan mounted on a top of the heat sink;
- and
- a fan holder comprising a frame sandwiched between the top of the heat sink and a bottom of the fan, the frame comprising a pair of opposite first walls and a pair of opposite second walls connected to the first walls end to end to define an opening therein;
- each of the first walls forming an engaging tab engaged in the slot and a pair of latching tabs engaging with the fan, each of the second walls forming a pair of restricting tabs abutting against the fan, and a baffle tab is formed between the restricting tabs abutting against the fins at front and rear sides.
