Abstract
A heat radiating member mounting structure for enabling multiple heat radiating members to be fastened together in a stack without tools is disclosed. Each heat radiating member has convex portions and lugs formed on each of two upright side flanges at two sides of a flat base thereof such that multiple heat radiating members can be fastened together by means of engaging protruding portions of the lugs of one heat radiating member into locating grooves in the convex portions of another heat radiating member.
Claims6
A heat radiating member mounting structure, comprising a plurality of heat radiating members made of a thermally conductive sheet material and fastened together in a stack for dissipating heat, each of said heat radiating members comprising a flat base and two side flanges respectively perpendicularly extending from two opposite lateral sides of said flat base in a parallel manner for mounting, wherein each of said side flanges comprises a plurality of convex portions, and a plurality of lugs respectively disposed above said convex portions, each of said convex portions defining a locating groove, said locating groove having a depth perpendicular to the corresponding side flange that is greater than the wall thickness of that side flange, each of said lugs comprising a protruding portion that protrudes along a direction perpendicular to the corresponding side flange for fitting the configuration of said locating groove so that the protruding portions of the lugs of one said heat radiating member are respectively engageable into the locating grooves of another said heat radiating member to couple the heat radiating members together.
