[0031] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5The radiator rivet reinforced connection structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the heat sink rivet pin reinforced connection structure is applied to the heat sink body 100, which is provided with a rivet hole 110. Specifically, it includes a rivet pin body 200, which is plugged into the rivet hole 110. The rivet pin body 200 is deformed by applying pressure from both ends of the rivet pin body 200 through a mold, so that the rivet pin body 200 abuts against the inner wall of the rivet hole 110 and the two ends are pressed together to form a fixed connection structure. In actual use, the rivet pin body 200 passes through the two workpieces to be riveted, and then the mold applies pressure to connect the two workpieces.

[0033] Specifically, the rivet body 200 includes a deformation portion 210 and an extrusion portion 220 arranged at both ends of the deformation portion 210. The deformation portion 210 is provided with a filling groove 211 and guide blocks located at both ends of the filling groove 211. When the extrusion portion 220 is subjected to force and squeezed toward the deformation portion 210, the rivet body 200 is squeezed into the filling groove 211, which is used to improve the adhesion between the rivet body 200 and the radiator body 100.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the main body of the existing rivet structure is cylindrical, with an embossed pattern in the middle. The embossed pattern in the middle is pressed against the inner wall of the rivet hole 110 by squeezing at both ends, increasing friction and achieving a maximum adhesion of approximately 10 kgf. However, with the rapid development of transistor density, the power of existing electrical appliances is also increasing rapidly, from a few hundred watts to the current power consumption of 700 to 1,000 watts. The specifications of radiators are also increasing rapidly, resulting in increasingly complex structures and heavier weights for high-specification radiators. Traditional rivets with an adhesion of 10 kgf can no longer meet the rivet adhesion requirements of high-specification radiators.

[0035] The heat sink rivet reinforcement structure of this embodiment features improvements on the rivet body 200. The original central embossed pattern is replaced with a deformable portion 210. The guide block, combined with the filling groove 211, allows the rivet body 200 to deform toward the center during compression, forcing the material into the rivet hole 110. This increases the friction between the rivet body 200 and the rivet hole 110, providing an adhesion force exceeding 25 kgf. This makes the heat sink workpiece connection more stable and meets the production requirements of high-specification heat sinks.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the filling groove 211 is disposed around the deforming portion 210, and the cross-sectional diameter of the filling groove 211 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the extrusion portion 220. Specifically, the filling groove 211 is recessed within the rivet body 200. During the deformation of the rivet body 200, the filling groove 211 can guide the material to be squeezed into the gilded rivet groove, thereby ensuring a closer contact between the rivet body 200 and the inner wall of the rivet hole 110.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sectional diameter of the guide block is larger than that of the extrusion portion 220. When force is applied to the guide block and extrusion portion 220, the guide block first deforms toward the filling groove 211, then guides the extrusion portion 220 to continue extruding toward the filling groove 211. The larger cross-sectional area of ​​the guide block than the extrusion portion 220 allows it to pre-extrude into the filling groove 211 during deformation, preventing the central portion of the rivet body 200 from being fractured by force.

[0038] Furthermore, the guide block includes a back guide block a and an extrusion guide block b. The back guide block a is thicker than the extrusion guide block b. The extrusion guide block b is used to guide the rivet body 200 structure toward the filling groove 211. During the actual riveting process, the extrusion guide block b is located within the rivet hole 110 formed by the two workpieces. The extrusion guide block b is thin, allowing it to deform and perform pre-extrusion when subjected to force.

[0039] Furthermore, the cross-sectional diameter of the extrusion guide block b is smaller than that of the back guide block a. This creates a stepped structure between the extrusion guide block b and the back guide block a, facilitating the phased extrusion of the rivet body 200 into the rivet hole 110 during the riveting process. This allows for more complete contact between the rivet body and the inner wall of the rivet hole 110, thereby improving connection stability.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the end of the extrusion portion 220 on one side of the extrusion guide block b is chamfered, which is beneficial for the extrusion guide block b to be deformed first when the mold applies pressure.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the back guide piece a gradually narrows as it moves away from the filling groove 211. Specifically, when the rivet body 200 is subjected to force, the cross-section of the back guide piece a with a smaller diameter receives more concentrated force, causing it to be squeezed and deformed preferentially, thereby fixing the position of the rivet body 200 relative to the rivet hole 110. The rivet body is then squeezed into the filling groove 211 to complete the subsequent riveting process.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the rivet body 200 is inserted into the rivet hole 110, the filling groove 211 and the extrusion guide block b are located inside the rivet hole 110, and a portion of the back guide block a is located outside the rivet hole 110. Specifically, the extrusion guide block b can be more easily deformed and extruded in the rivet hole 110 to achieve the effect of preliminarily positioning the positions of the two rivet holes 110.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the ratio of the length of the deformation portion 210 to the length of the extrusion portion 220 is 0.2-0.4.

[0044] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
