[0035] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0036] The following will be a detailed description in conjunction with the embodiments of the device of the present utility model.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, an open - air - duct - type memory module cooler includes an open - air - duct formed by surrounding a memory module (6) with heat sinks (1), limiting members (2), and a heat - conducting medium (4). The open - air - duct extends in the length and height directions on both sides of the memory module (6) and intersects at the top, forming openings at both ends in the length direction and at the bottom of the memory module (6), and an open area at the top.

[0039] As Figures 4-5 shown, the open - air - duct in this embodiment is a channel inside the cooler for guiding the flow of air. Its shape and size are jointly defined by the heat sink (1), the limiting member (2), the heat - conducting medium (4), and the memory module (6). The open - air - duct allows ambient air to freely enter and exit, discharging the heat inside the cooler.

[0040] Among them:

[0041] Both of the two heat sinks (1) are long - strip - shaped aluminum alloy heat sinks. There is an installation threaded hole at each of the two ends of the top, and several toothed heat - dissipating fins are also provided on the top, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the memory module (6).

[0042] Both of the two limiting members (2) are cuboid rubber blocks. There are through - holes at both ends that match the installation threaded holes on the heat sink (1). They are respectively arranged at both ends of the top of the memory module (6) between the two heat sinks (1), and correspond to the positions of the installation threaded holes on the heat sink (1). Each end of each limiting member (2) abuts against the adjacent heat sink (1), and the bottom abuts against the top of the memory module (6). Its length defines the width of the open - air - duct, and the bottom defines the height position of the memory module (6) in the cooler. Using rubber material can improve the stability of the memory module (6) inside the cooler and avoid damage during the assembly process.

[0043] All four heat - conducting media (4) are heat - conducting silicone grease pads, which are respectively arranged on the memory chips on both sides of the memory module (6), two on each side. One side of each heat - conducting medium (4) closely adheres to the memory chip of the memory module (6), and the other side closely adheres to the inner surface of the adjacent heat sink (1), for quickly conducting the heat generated when the memory chip works to the heat sink (1).

[0044] The four auxiliary fixing members (5) are all double-sided adhesive pads, which are respectively pasted on the printed circuit boards on both sides of the memory module (6), two on each side. One side of each auxiliary fixing member (5) is pasted on the printed circuit board of the memory module (6), and the other side is pasted on the inner surface of the adjacent heat sink (1) to assist in fixing the memory module (6) and the heat sink (1).

[0045] The two fasteners (3) are both metal screws, which sequentially pass through the mounting threaded holes on one of the heat sinks (1), the through holes on the limiting member (2), and the corresponding mounting threaded holes on the other heat sink (1) to fixedly connect the two heat sinks (1) and the limiting member (2) disposed between the two heat sinks (1).

[0046] In this embodiment, the memory module (6) is a standard-size dual in-line memory module (DIMM) with a double-sided layout.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] Another embodiment provided by the present utility model is as follows Figures 6-10 As shown, this embodiment is applicable to a memory module with the VLP DIMM specification. The specifications of the heat sink (1), the limiting member (2), the fastener (3), and the heat-conducting medium (4) are all adapted and adjusted according to the VLP DIMM specification. The limiting member (2) and the fastener (3) are integrally processed on one of the heat sinks (1), which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0049] The specific implementation manner is as follows:

[0050] The two heat sinks (1) are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the memory module (6); at both ends of the top of one of the heat sinks (1), the limiting member (2) and the fastener (3) are integrally formed respectively, with both limiting and fastening functions; at both ends of the top of the other heat sink (1), mounting through holes matching the fastener (3) are respectively provided; the limiting members (2) are all cylindrical aluminum alloy blocks; the four heat-conducting media (4) are all double-sided adhesive pads with a high heat-conducting coefficient and can also be used as auxiliary fixing members; the fastener (3) is an aluminum alloy short column, which is fixed by welding after passing through the matching mounting through holes on the other heat sink (1) to connect the two heat sinks (1).

[0051] As Figures 1-10As shown, in the above two embodiments, the memory chips on the memory module are in close contact with the heat sink through a heat-conducting medium, and the heat generated during the operation of the memory is directly conducted to the heat sink, with high heat conduction efficiency; due to the design of the open air duct, both the inner and outer sides of the heat sink participate in heat dissipation simultaneously, significantly expanding the heat dissipation area without increasing the volume; the ambient air flow freely enters the interior of the radiator through the open air duct, discharging the internal heat in a timely manner, avoiding heat accumulation, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency; the radiator has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and can be adapted to memory modules of various specifications.

[0052] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and what is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
