Abstract
A heat dissipation device for a heat-generating component includes at least one helically-shaped air tube having a length. The at least one air tube is thermally coupled to the heat-generating component to dissipate heat from the heat-generating component. Other embodiments of the heat dissipation device and methods for dissipating heat from a heat-generating component are further disclosed.
Claims6
A heat dissipation device for a heat-generating component, the heat dissipation device comprising:
- a first sheet formed with spaced-apart grooves on a surface of the first sheet, the grooves being stretched diagonally from one side of the first sheet to the other and containing one or more curvatures along the length of the grooves, the grooves forming helically-shaped air channels, the first sheet integrally forming a first base plate secured to the heat-generating component, a first helically-shaped air tube, and a first wall positioned between the first base plate and the first helically-shaped air tube;
- and
- a second sheet formed with spaced-apart grooves on a surface of the second sheet, the grooves being stretched diagonally from one side of the second sheet to the other and containing one or more curvatures along the length of the grooves, the grooves forming helically-shaped air channels, the second sheet integrally forming a second base plate secured to the heat-generating component, a second helically-shaped air tube, and a second wall positioned between the second base plate and the second helically-shaped air tube,
- wherein the first wall and the second wall form a passage that defines a third helically-shaped air tube, and
- wherein the first, second and third air tubes have a length with the helix shape being formed by the air channels that extend along the length of the air tubes, the first, second and third air tubes being thermally coupled to the heat-generating component by the first and second base plates to dissipate heat from the heat-generating component.
