Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiators, and in particular to a novel radiator. Background Technology

[0002] CPUs generate a lot of heat when they are working. If this heat is not dissipated in time, it can cause system crashes or even burn out the CPU. CPU coolers are used to cool the CPU. However, the fans on existing coolers are fixed to the cooler with fan mounting brackets and other fixing accessories, which makes the cooler stacked in layers. This makes disassembly and assembly inconvenient and the assembled cooler is heavy. Therefore, a new type of cooler is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0004] A novel heat sink includes an aluminum base plate. A fan mounting bracket is horizontally arranged at the top of the aluminum base plate, and a fan is horizontally arranged at the top of the fan mounting bracket. The fan rotates on the fan mounting bracket. A slot is provided between the fan mounting bracket and the aluminum base plate, and the slot is formed on both sides of the surface of the aluminum base plate. Both sides of the fan mounting bracket are inserted into the slot. A hook is provided between the slot and the fan mounting bracket, and the hook is vertically formed at the front and rear ends of the side of the fan mounting bracket. The hook is inserted into the slot. A protrusion is provided between the hook and the slot, and the protrusion is horizontally located at the top of one side of the slot. The hook and the protrusion abut against each other.

[0005] Preferably, a limiting post and a limiting groove are provided between the fan mounting base and the aluminum base plate, and the limiting posts are all vertically formed on both sides of the fan mounting base. The limiting posts are located between the hooks, and the limiting grooves are all formed on the side of the protrusions. The limiting posts are vertically inserted into the limiting grooves.

[0006] Preferably, a fixing frame is provided on both sides of the bottom end of the aluminum base plate, and a heat pipe is arranged around the surface of the fixing frame in a horizontal manner. The other end of the heat pipe is pressed into the bottom end of the aluminum base plate, and the heat pipe and the bottom surface of the aluminum base plate are at the same horizontal plane.

[0007] Preferably, a heat pipe fixing groove is provided between the heat pipe and the aluminum base plate, and the heat pipe fixing groove is formed on both sides of the bottom surface of the aluminum base plate. The heat pipe fixing groove is arched upward, and one end of the heat pipe is pressed horizontally into the heat pipe fixing groove.

[0008] Preferably, the heat pipe is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins are all equally spaced and vertically welded to the heat pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing frame is provided with fixing screws, and the fixing screws are all vertically located at the four corners of the fixing frame.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the aluminum base plate is installed on the CPU to be cooled, the fan mounting bracket along with the fan is installed on the surface of the aluminum base plate. The hooks on both sides of the fan mounting bracket are inserted into the slots on both sides of the surface of the aluminum base plate, and the hooks and the protrusions of the hooks limit the movement, so that the fan mounting bracket along with the fan is inserted into the aluminum base plate. Since the fan mounting bracket is made of plastic, when the fan mounting bracket along with the fan is detached from the aluminum base plate, the hooks can be manually closed from both sides of the fan mounting bracket to the middle position of the fan mounting bracket, so that the hooks and the protrusions no longer abut against each other, and the fan mounting bracket along with the fan can be detached from the surface of the aluminum base plate. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the fan and the aluminum base plate without the need for other fixing accessories, and the efficiency of maintenance and installation is faster. The fan mounting bracket along with the fan is inserted into the aluminum base plate, which makes the overall thickness thinner and the assembled heat sink body lighter.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-6 In this embodiment of the utility model, the novel heat sink includes an aluminum base plate 5. A fan mounting base 7 is horizontally arranged at the top of the aluminum base plate 5, and a fan 2 is horizontally arranged at the top of the fan mounting base 7. The fan 2 rotates on the fan mounting base 7. The fan mounting base 7 is made of plastic. A slot 11 is provided between the fan mounting base 7 and the aluminum base plate 5. The slot 11 is formed on both sides of the surface of the aluminum base plate 5, and both sides of the fan mounting base 7 are inserted into the slot 11. A hook 8 is provided between the slot 11 and the fan mounting base 7. The hook 8 is vertically formed at the front and rear ends of the side of the fan mounting base 7 and is inserted into the slot 11. A protrusion 10 is provided between the hook 8 and the slot 11. The protrusion 10 is horizontally located at the top of one side of the slot 11, and the hook 8 and the protrusion 10 abut against each other. Therefore, when the aluminum base plate is installed on the CPU to be cooled, The fan mounting bracket 7, together with the fan 2, is installed on the surface of the aluminum base plate 5. The hooks 8 on both sides of the fan mounting bracket 7 are inserted into the slots 11 on both sides of the surface of the aluminum base plate 5, and the hooks 8 and the protrusions 10 are mutually restrained, so that the fan mounting bracket 7 and the fan 2 are inserted into the aluminum base plate 5. Since the fan mounting bracket 7 is made of plastic, when the fan mounting bracket 7 and the fan 2 are removed from the aluminum base plate 5, the hooks 8 are simply manually moved from both sides of the fan mounting bracket 7 towards the middle of the fan mounting bracket 7, so that the hooks 8 and the protrusions 10 are no longer in contact. The fan mounting bracket 7 and the fan 2 can then be removed from the surface of the aluminum base plate 5. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the fan 2 and the aluminum base plate 2 without the need for other fixing accessories, and the efficiency of maintenance and installation is faster. In addition, the fan mounting bracket 7 and the fan 2 are inserted into the aluminum base plate 5, which makes the overall thickness thinner and the assembled heat sink body lighter.

[0022] The fan mounting base 7 and the aluminum base plate 5 are further provided with limiting posts 9 and limiting grooves 12. The limiting posts 9 are all vertically formed on both sides of the fan mounting base 7. The limiting posts 9 are located between the hooks 8, and the limiting grooves 12 are all formed on the side of the protrusions 10. The limiting posts 9 are vertically inserted into the limiting grooves 12. Thus, through the limiting cooperation between the limiting posts 9 and the limiting grooves 12, the fan mounting base 7 and the fan 2 will not be misaligned when fixed on the aluminum base plate 5.

[0023] The aluminum base plate 5 has horizontally arranged fixing brackets 1 on both sides of its bottom end, and heat pipes 6 are arranged horizontally around the surface of the fixing brackets 1. The other end of the heat pipes 6 is pressed into the bottom end of the aluminum base plate 5, and the heat pipes 6 and the bottom surface of the aluminum base plate 5 are at the same level. When the aluminum base plate 5 is installed on the CPU to be cooled by the fixing brackets 1, the heat pipes 6 are in contact with the surface of the CPU, and the heat generated by the CPU during operation is dissipated through the heat pipes 6 and the fan 2.

[0024] A heat pipe fixing groove 13 is provided between the heat pipe 6 and the aluminum base plate 5, and the heat pipe fixing groove 13 is formed on both sides of the bottom surface of the aluminum base plate 5. The heat pipe fixing groove 13 arches upward, and one end of the heat pipe 6 is pressed horizontally into the heat pipe fixing groove 13, thereby fixing the heat pipe 6 to the bottom surface of the aluminum base plate 5 through the heat pipe fixing groove 13.

[0025] The heat pipe 6 is provided with a number of heat dissipation fins 3, and the number of heat dissipation fins 3 are all vertically welded around the heat pipe 6 at equal intervals. In this way, heat is transferred from the heat pipe 6 to the air through the cooperation between the number of heat dissipation fins 3 and the heat pipe 6, thereby achieving heat dissipation.

[0026] The mounting bracket 1 is equipped with fixing screws 4, and the fixing screws 4 are all vertically located at the four corners of the mounting bracket 1. Thus, the mounting bracket 1 together with the aluminum base plate 5 can be fixed to the CPU to be cooled by fixing screws 4.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
