Description

A continuous material structure Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a continuous material structure. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, such as heat sink fin assemblies, the structure consists of multiple bent fins stacked and fixed in one direction. Due to the unique nature of their assembly structure, it's impossible to connect multiple heat sink fin assemblies together using raw material strips. However, during the manufacturing process of such heat sink fin assemblies, surface treatments, such as electroplating, are required for certain functions. Therefore, in existing technologies, heat sink fin assemblies are typically surface-treated one by one using raw material strips, which is inefficient and unsuitable for mass production.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new continuous material structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a new interconnected structure that enables multiple fin groups to be connected as one unit.

[0014] Furthermore, the second strip includes a flat second strip body sheet, a second strip connecting sheet integrally connected to the second strip body sheet, and a second strip fixing sheet integrally connected to the second strip connecting sheet;

[0015] One edge of the first strip abuts against the connecting piece of the second strip.

[0016] The hook portion extends integrally from the end of the second strip fixing piece away from the end connected to the second strip connecting piece;

[0017] The hook portion is fastened to the first material strip to prevent the first material strip from detaching from the second material strip.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting hole is formed through the second strip connecting piece, and a limiting part is formed on one side edge of the first strip, which is inserted and limited within the limiting hole.

[0019] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​hole is formed through the first strip along the thickness direction, and the hook portion snaps into the snap-fit ​​hole; or, the hook portion snaps into one edge of the first strip.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 and 6, which show two embodiments of a continuous material structure disclosed in this application, wherein Figures 1 to 4 are the first embodiment, and Figures 5 and 6 are the second embodiment.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 for the first embodiment. A fin assembly 1 is disclosed, comprising a plurality of integrally fixed fin members 10. Each fin member 10 includes a main body 11 and side plates 12 extending from both sides of the main body 11 along the thickness direction of the main body 11. The side plates 12 of any one fin member 10 are connected and fixed to an adjacent fin member 10. The main bodies 11 of the plurality of fin members 10 are arranged at intervals in one direction. The plurality of fin members 10 are combined to form a grid-like structure and form air channels. This fin assembly 1 is mainly used to be installed near the heat source (not shown) of electronic equipment to quickly dissipate the heat transferred through the heating element. This heat dissipation method is physical heat dissipation, and the primary method is to increase the heat dissipation area through the special physical structure of the fin assembly 1.

[0037] The edge of the main body plate 11 of the fin member 10 or the edge of the side plate 12 is connected to a first material strip 2, which is the same plate material forming the fin member 10. Further, in this embodiment, a second material strip 3 is also included. This second material strip 3 can be used to connect multiple different fin groups 1 to the first material strips 2, thereby realizing the integral connection of multiple fin groups 1. This facilitates the simultaneous handling of multiple fin groups for secondary processing (such as electroplating).

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the first strip 2 includes a first strip body piece 21 and a first strip connecting piece 22 connected to each other. The extending planes of the first strip body piece 21 and the first strip connecting piece 22 are not coplanar; for example, they are perpendicular or at a specific angle. The second strip 3 is connected and fixed to the first strip connecting piece 22. In one embodiment, the second strip 3 and the first strip 2 are bonded together along the thickness direction and fixed by welding. In a preferred embodiment, a positioning hole 32 is formed through the portion where the second strip 3 and the first strip 2 are bonded together along the thickness direction for assembly positioning and positioning and handling during secondary processing. Further, in some preferred embodiments, the second strip 3 includes a flat second strip body piece 31 and a second strip connecting piece 32 bonded to the first strip 2, wherein the extending plane of the second strip body piece 31 and the extending plane of the second strip connecting piece 32 are coplanar or parallel.

[0039] Please refer to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 4, specifically the embodiments with the right-hand perspective in Figures 1, 2, and 3. The second material strip 3 includes a flat second material strip main body 31, a second material strip connecting piece 32 integrally connected to the second material strip main body 31, and a second material strip fixing piece 33 integrally connected to the second material strip connecting piece 32.

[0040] The second strip fixing piece 33 extends integrally with a hook portion 331 at the end away from the end connected to the second strip connecting piece 32 (the upper end of the second strip fixing piece 33 in the views of Figures 1 to 3). In a preferred embodiment, a limiting hole 321 is formed through the second strip connecting piece 32, and a limiting portion 20 is formed on one side edge of the first strip 2, which is inserted into the limiting hole 321. The limiting portion 20 on one side edge of the first strip 2 is inserted into the limiting hole 321 of the second strip connecting piece 32, and the hook portion 331 is fastened to the first strip 2 to prevent the first strip 2 from detaching from the second strip 3.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a snap-fit ​​hole (not shown) is formed through the first strip 2 along the thickness direction, and the hook portion 331 snaps into the snap-fit ​​hole 201. In the preferred embodiment shown in the figures of this application, the hook portion 331 snaps into one edge of the first strip 2. Through the structural design of the limiting portion 20 of the first strip 2 cooperating with the limiting hole 321 and the hook portion 331 cooperating to snap into the first strip 2, the fixation between the first strip 2 and the second strip 3 is achieved. This structure eliminates the need for welding, and the second strip 3 can be reused multiple times.

[0042] Specifically, in the preferred embodiment, namely the embodiment shown in the figure, the first strip 2 is perpendicular to the second strip connecting piece 32. The second strip fixing piece 33 is formed by bending and extending the second strip connecting piece 32 upwards, and the second strip fixing piece 33 and the first strip 2 are arranged side by side along the thickness direction of the first strip 2.

[0043] In a more preferred embodiment, referring to FIG4 and in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 3, a buffer portion 43 is further included. The buffer portion 34 transitionally connects the second strip connecting piece 32 and the second strip fixing piece 33. The buffer portion 34 is elastic and allows the second strip fixing piece 33 to move closer to or further away from the second strip connecting piece 32 along the thickness direction of the second strip connecting piece 32. Through the structural design of the buffer portion 34, the second strip fixing piece 33 can be formed in a form similar to a spring hook to ensure a more stable fixation between the second strip 3 and the first strip 2.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, a clearance through hole 341 is formed through the buffer portion 34, and at least a portion of the first material strip 2 passes through the clearance through hole 341 and abuts against the second material strip connecting piece 32. The buffer portion 34 is formed by folding the edge of the second material strip connecting piece 32 by 180 degrees, and at least a portion of the buffer portion 43 is positioned opposite to the second material strip connecting piece 32 at a distance.

[0045] This application, through the design of the second strip 3, enables multiple fin groups 1 to be simultaneously connected to the same strip (i.e., the second strip 3), thereby making the handling and secondary processing of the fin groups 1 more convenient and efficient. Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments (as shown in Figure 4), the second strip 3 and the first strip 2 can be elastically fastened together, and the second strip 3 and the first strip 2 can be disassembled from each other, allowing the second strip 3 to be reused repeatedly.
