Heat-radiating base plate and heat sink using the same

Abstract

A heat-radiating base plate includes an aluminum-made upper base plate, a copper-made lower base plate, and a heat pipe unit. The upper base plate has a first face, an opposite second face, and a slotted pattern extended through the upper base plate in a thickness direction to communicate the first face with the second face. The heat pipe unit is set in the slotted pattern, and has a thickness equal to a depth of the slotted pattern. The heat pipe unit has a first and a second heat-conducting flat face flush with the first and the second face of the upper base plate, respectively. The second face and the second heat-conducting face are attached to the lower base plate, which has another flat face in contact with a heat-producing unit. A radiating fin assembly can be mounted to a top of the heat-radiating base plate to provide a heat sink.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a heat-radiating base plate, and more particularly to a weight-reduced heat-radiating base plate including an aluminum-made upper base plate formed of a slotted pattern for a heat pipe unit to set therein, and a copper-made lower base plate corresponding to and attached to the upper base plate without losing its flatness. The present invention also relates to a heat sink including a radiating fin assembly mounted to a top of the heat-radiating base plate.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]With the rapidly developed information, communication, and photoelectric industries, various highly advanced, lightweight and compact electronic products have been introduced into the market. Due to the demands for high operating speed and miniaturized volume, the electronic elements in the various electronic products produce more heat during the operation thereof to thereby have constantly increased heat density. Therefore, heat dissipatio...
