DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.

[0032] This embodiment relates to a heat pipe support, which is applied to a radiator.

[0033] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the radiator includes: a base block 210, heat dissipation fins 220 and multiple heat pipes 230. The base block 210 is the part of the radiator that directly contacts the heat-generating chip. The base block 210 and the heat dissipation fins 220 are connected by heat pipes 230 to conduct the heat of the chip to the heat dissipation fins 220, and the heat dissipation is completed through the heat dissipation fins 220.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1-3As shown, one end of the heat pipe support 100 is provided with a fixing portion 110, which can be detachably mounted on the bottom block 210 of the radiator. The other end of the heat pipe support 100 is provided with a protective portion 120, which can be buckled onto the heat pipe 230 of the radiator to achieve connection with the heat pipe 230. When the heat pipe support 100 is installed on the radiator, the fixing portion 110 and the protective portion 120 are used to fix the heat pipe 230 to protect the heat pipe 230 and prevent the heat pipe 230 from being deformed or even broken due to its own vibration or external objects during transportation and movement, which would affect the appearance of the radiator and the heat dissipation performance of the radiator. The heat pipe support 100 is detachably mounted on the radiator and can be removed when in use to prevent the heat pipe support 100 from affecting the heat dissipation performance of the radiator. When the radiator needs to be transported and moved, the heat pipe support 100 can be installed on the radiator to protect the heat pipe 230 of the radiator. The heat pipe support 100 is flexible and convenient to install and use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 110 of the heat pipe support 100 is provided with a fixing hole 111, and the bottom block 210 of the radiator is provided with a threaded mounting hole 211 that matches the fixing hole 111. The fixing hole 111 and the threaded mounting hole 211 can be connected by screws to install the fixing portion 110 on the bottom block 210, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the fixing portion 110 and the bottom block 210. In other embodiments, the fixing portion 110 can also be installed on the bottom block 210 by other structures to achieve a detachable connection between the fixing portion 110 and the bottom block 210, such as a magnetic structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, etc.

[0036] As a preferred solution, a fixing buckle 130 is provided on the protection portion 120 of the heat pipe support 100. The fixing buckle 130 corresponds to the heat pipe 230 and can be buckled onto the heat pipe 230 to achieve a fixed connection with the heat pipe 230 to protect the heat pipe 230. At the same time, it also realizes a detachable connection between the protection portion 120 and the heat pipe 230, facilitating the installation and removal of the protection portion 120. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing buckle 130 includes: an opening 131 facing the heat pipe 230, a guide groove 132 connected to the opening 131 and perpendicular to the opening 131, and a clamping hole 133 located at the end of the guide groove 132 away from the opening 131. The heat pipe 230 can pass through the opening 131 and enter the guide groove 132. Then, the heat pipe 230 is clamped into the clamping hole 133, thereby achieving a good fixation effect on the heat pipe 230 and ensuring that it can be installed and removed easily.

[0037] In this embodiment, multiple fixing buckles 130 are provided, each corresponding to a plurality of heat pipes 230. This allows the multiple fixing buckles 130 on the protection portion 120 to simultaneously fix the multiple heat pipes 230, making the installation and fixation of the heat pipe support 100 more convenient. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple heat pipe supports 100 can also be used to simultaneously fix the multiple heat pipes 230, respectively, to achieve a good fixing effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, the heat pipe support 100 is provided with a hollow groove to enhance the aesthetics of the heat pipe support 100, reduce the weight of the heat pipe support 100, and optimize the user experience of the heat pipe support 100. Preferably, the hollow groove is provided along the fixing portion 110 toward the protective portion 120.

[0039] In this embodiment, the heat pipe support 100 is integrally formed, and the overall rigidity and strength of the heat pipe support 100 are guaranteed to achieve a good fixing and protection effect for the heat pipe 230. Preferably, the heat pipe support 100 is made of metal or plastic.

[0040] In the present invention, the heat pipe 230 is configured in a U-shape, with the base block 210 positioned in the middle of the heat pipe 230. The ends of the heat pipe 230 are connected to two cooling fins 220, respectively. The radiator can be configured by installing two heat pipe supports 100, one on each side of the base block 210, corresponding to the heat pipe 230 on either side of the fixed base, thereby effectively securing and protecting both sides of the heat pipe 230. In other embodiments, the heat pipe support 100 can also be provided with two protective portions 120, one corresponding to the heat pipe 230 on either side of the fixed base, thereby effectively securing and protecting both sides of the heat pipe 230.

[0041] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
