DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-6 , this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An improved snap-on fin for a radiator includes a base 1, a fin body 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, slots 3 are provided on both sides of the top of the base 1, a housing 4 is snapped onto the top of the base 1, a fixing component 5 is provided on the left side of the base 1, and an auxiliary component 6 is provided at the bottom of the housing 4;

[0028] The fixing assembly 5 includes a fixing rod 51 threadedly connected to the outside of the shell 4, and a fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing rod 51. A fixing groove 53 is opened on the left side of the base 1, and both sides of the inside of the fixing groove 53 are fixedly connected to the limiting spring 54, and the inner side of the limiting spring 54 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 55. Both sides of the limiting block 55 are fixedly connected to the slider 56, and the outer side of the slider 56 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing groove 53.

[0029] In this embodiment: by rotating the fixing rod 51 connected to the outer side of the shell 4 through a thread, the fixing block 52 on the inner side of the fixing rod 51 will move toward the base 1 as the fixing rod 51 rotates, and then the fixing block 52 will squeeze the limit block 55 during the movement of the inner side of the fixing groove 53. Then, after being squeezed, the limit block 55 will compress the limit spring 54 and slide to both sides until the fixing block 52 completely enters the fixing groove 53. At this time, the limit spring 54 will push the limit block 55 due to its own elastic restoring force, so that the limit block 55 will jam the fixing block 52, thereby achieving the fixation of the shell 4 and the base 1 on the left side. Compared with the existing improved radiator with snap-on fins, the shell 4 can be quickly disassembled to clean or repair its fins.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary component 6 includes an adjusting rod 61 slidably connected to the top of the shell 4, the top of the adjusting rod 61 is fixedly connected to an auxiliary block 62, the bottom of the adjusting rod 61 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 63, and the outer side of the clamping block 63 is clamped with the inner side of the clamping slot 3.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a groove 64 is formed at the bottom of the housing 4 , and an auxiliary spring 65 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove 64 .

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, an auxiliary plate 66 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjustment rod 61 , and the auxiliary plate 66 is located at the bottom of the auxiliary spring 65 .

[0033] In this embodiment: when the shell 4 needs to be removed, the adjusting rod 61 is moved upward, and then the adjusting rod 61 drives the auxiliary plate 66 on the outside to move upward, and then the auxiliary plate 66 squeezes the auxiliary spring 65 as the adjusting rod 61 moves upward, and then the auxiliary spring 65 is squeezed, and then at the same time, the auxiliary plate 66 on the outside of the adjusting rod 61 will squeeze the auxiliary spring 65 as the adjusting rod 61 moves downward, and the auxiliary spring 65 is compressed. Then, when the shell 4 is fixed, the compressed auxiliary spring 65 will drive the auxiliary plate 66 and the adjusting rod 61 to move downward, and then the adjusting rod 61 moves downward while driving the card block 63 to move, and then the card block 63 is re-engaged with the card slot 3. Compared with the existing improved radiator, the snap-fit ​​fins can effectively prevent the problem of loose connection caused by long-term use or external factors, and at the same time avoid the decrease in heat dissipation efficiency due to loosening.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove 7 is provided on the right side of the base 1, and a reset spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting groove 7, and a limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the reset spring 8. A connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 9, and the outer side of the connecting block 10 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 7, and the outer side of the limiting rod 9 is clamped to the inner side of the shell 4.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a buckle block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fin body 2 , and an elastic plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fin body 2 .

[0036] In this embodiment: by setting the limit groove 7, the return spring 8, the limit rod 9, and the connecting block 10, when the shell 4 is installed, the inner side of the shell 4 will squeeze the limit rod 9, and the limit rod 9 will compress the return spring 8 and slide into the limit groove 7 after being squeezed. When the shell 4 is installed in place, its return spring 8 will push the limit rod 9 due to its own elastic restoring force, so that the outer side of the limit rod 9 is engaged with the inner side of the shell 4, thereby achieving the fixation of the shell 4 and the base 1 on the right side. By setting the snap block 11 and the elastic plate 12, the cooperation of the snap block 11 and the elastic plate 12 ensures that the connection between the fin body 2 and the base 1 is firm, avoiding the fin body 2 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other external forces during use, and ensuring the stability of the heat dissipation structure of the radiator.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a reinforcing rib 13 is provided on the top of the fin body 2, and the reinforcing rib 13 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first heat dissipation hole 14 is formed on the top of the housing 4 , and second heat dissipation holes 15 are formed on both sides of the housing 4 .

[0039] In this embodiment: by providing the reinforcing ribs 13, the reinforcing ribs 13 can effectively enhance the strength and rigidity of the fin body 2, prevent the fin body 2 from being deformed due to external force, ensure the heat dissipation area of ​​the fin body 2 and the stability of the heat dissipation channel, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. By providing the first heat dissipation holes 14 and the second heat dissipation holes 15, when the radiator is working, heat is transferred from the fin body 2 to the inside of the shell 4, and then dissipated to the surrounding environment through the first heat dissipation holes 14 and the second heat dissipation holes 15. Cold air can enter the inside of the shell 4 from the heat dissipation holes, exchange heat with the fin body 2, and take away heat.

[0040] Working principle: When using the snap-on fins for the radiator, first place the shell 4 above the base 1, then rotate the fixing rod 51 that is threadedly connected to the outside of the shell 4, then the fixing block 52 on the inside of the fixing rod 51 will move toward the base 1 as the fixing rod 51 rotates, then the fixing block 52 will squeeze the limit block 55 during the movement of the fixing groove 53, then the limit block 55 will compress the limit spring 54 after being squeezed and slide to both sides until the fixing block 52 completely enters the fixing groove 53, at this time, the limit spring 54 will push the limit block 55 due to its own elastic restoring force, so that the limit block 55 will jam the fixing block 52, thereby fixing the shell 4 and the base 1 on the left side, when the shell 4 needs to be removed, by moving the adjusting rod 61 upwards, then the adjusting rod 61 drives the auxiliary plate 66 on the outside to The auxiliary plate 66 moves upward as the adjusting rod 61 moves upward, and then the auxiliary plate 66 squeezes the auxiliary spring 65 as the adjusting rod 61 moves upward, and then the auxiliary spring 65 is squeezed, and then at the same time, the auxiliary plate 66 on the outside of the adjusting rod 61 squeezes the auxiliary spring 65 as the adjusting rod 61 moves downward, and the auxiliary spring 65 is compressed. Then, when the shell 4 is fixed, the compressed auxiliary spring 65 drives the auxiliary plate 66 and the adjusting rod 61 to move downward, and then the adjusting rod 61 moves downward while driving the card block 63 to move, and then the card block 63 is re-engaged with the card slot 3, so as to solve the problem that the existing radiator uses snap-fit ​​fins that are usually fixed with screws, but it is more cumbersome when it is necessary to clean the dust accumulated between the fins or to repair and replace the fins, and when vibration or impact occurs during use, the fixing screws are prone to loosening, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
