Abstract
A heat sink assembly includes a first heat dissipating plate, a second heat dissipating plate, at least one flat heat pipe horizontally positioned between the first heat dissipating plate and the second heat dissipating plate. The at least one flat heat pipe surrounds or defines an enclosed-space. The enclosed-space is closed by the first heat dissipating plate and the second heat dissipating plate. At least one through hole communicates with the enclosed-space and is defined in the second heat dissipating plate.
Claims20
A heat sink assembly adapted for dissipating heat generated by an electronic heat-generating device, the heat sink assembly comprising:
- a first heat dissipating plate having a top surface and a bottom surface thermally contacting the heat generating electronic device;
- a second heat dissipating plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a heat pipe module sandwiched between the top surface of the first heat dissipating plate and the first surface of the second heat dissipating plate, the heat pipe module comprising a first heat pipe and a second heat pipe, the first and second heat pipes cooperatively defining an enclosed-space, wherein the enclosed-space is enclosed by the top surface of the first heat dissipating plate and the first surface of the second heat dissipating plate;
- and
- a plurality of through holes communicating with the enclosed-space being defined in at least one of the first heat dissipating plate and the second heat dissipating plate.
