[0024] In some embodiments, the first opening structure is a through hole or a notch, and the second opening structure is a notch. In this embodiment, the first opening structure is flexibly configured to adapt to the shape and size of the heat pipe 3, which is simple in design and easy to mass-produce.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, each fin unit 2 further includes a third piece 23, which is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the second piece 22. The third piece 23 is arranged laterally and extends along the extension direction of the first piece 21. The third piece 23 has a fifth notch, and the second piece 22 has a sixth notch. The fifth notch and the sixth notch are connected. The second piece 22 has an upwardly extending second protrusion, which is fixed to the corresponding sixth notch. The second piece 22 has a second claw 231 corresponding to the position of the sixth notch.

[0026] In this embodiment, by setting a third piece 23, and several corresponding fifth notches, sixth notches, seventh notches, second protrusions and second claws 231, the fin unit 2 is stably connected in multiple layers, enhancing the overall structural stability.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the top surface of the heat-conducting section is a plane. In this embodiment, the top surface of the heat-conducting section is a plane, forming a plane with the upper surface of the heat dissipation base 1, and comes into contact with the item that needs heat dissipation. This is beneficial to the structural stability of the heat dissipation structure and the item that needs heat dissipation, and improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments, the heat sink 1 and all the fin units 2 are made of AL6063. Traditional shovel teeth in the prior art often use AL1050 or AL1060 materials, which have long processing cycles, high costs, and relatively low strength. In this embodiment, AL6063 material is used, which has good machinability and is lightweight.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fin unit 2 is manufactured by stamping. Stamping results in high strength for the fin unit 2, ensuring dimensional accuracy and batch consistency.

[0030] In some embodiments, the thickness of the fin unit 2 is 0.4mm-1mm, and the spacing between the second plates 22 of adjacent fin units 2 is 1mm-3mm. In this embodiment, the preferred thickness of the fin unit 2 is 0.4mm-1mm, and the spacing between the second plates 22 of adjacent fin units 2 is 1mm-3mm, which maintains the stability of the fin structure while optimizing airflow and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
