Heat Sink and Electronic Device and Heat Exchanger Applying the Same

Abstract

A heat sink includes a substrate, at least a first fin set and at least a second fin set. The first fin set is disposed on the substrate and has a plurality of first fins, and the first fin has a plurality of first holes. The second fin set is disposed on the substrate and has a plurality of second fins, and the second fin has a plurality of second holes. The total area of the second holes is larger than that of the first holes. An electronic device and a heat exchanger which are configured with the heat sink are also disclosed. The structure and configuration of the heat fins can increase the wind guiding effect, and thus improve the heat-dissipation efficiency.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a heat sink with a simple design that can increase air input quantity to improve heat-dissipating speed. The heat sink includes fins with special microstructure and distribution to increase heat-dissipating performance. The heat sink has holes with different intervals that form a channel parallel to the airflow direction, speeding up the airflow passing through the fins and improving heat-dissipation efficiency. Additionally, a casing with a lateral inlet can enhance the lateral air input quantity and intensity, further improving heat dissipation performance for a closed device. Compared with conventional art, the heat sink can provide more air input quantity for a closed device, increasing heat-dissipating speed.

Problems solved by technology

After the great progressive of electronic industry, the operation speed and performance of electronic elements are increased, and thus, the heat dissipation has become a very important issue for affecting the operation performance and stability.

However, the achieved heat-dissipation effect is still limited.

In other words, there still exist some heats inside the closed casing, which may damage the internal electronic element of the electronic device.

In addition, the heat sink for the closed electronic device must satisfy the limitations of the manufacturing processes and designs of the electronic device, so that the conventional stacked fins have reached the bottleneck of heat dissipation.

However, in a closed electronic device, which needs to consider the air input channel and heat-dissipating speed simultaneously, the applied fins usually have more complex design and installation, so that the manufacturing time and cost are definitely increased.
