Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of computer heat sinks, and in particular to a heat sink structure that facilitates the installation of peripheral devices. Background Technology

[0002] A computer cooler is a device used to lower the temperature of a computer. It works by utilizing the thermal conductivity of the material, increasing the heat dissipation surface area and accelerating airflow to quickly dissipate the heat generated inside the computer, thereby maintaining the normal operating temperature of the computer. The heat dissipation surface of the cooler is usually in the form of fins or heat sinks to increase the surface area and improve the heat dissipation speed.

[0003] In existing technologies, heat sinks are often used in conjunction with external devices, such as light guide components and digital displays, to achieve the dual functions of heat dissipation and dazzling light effects or optical indication. In traditional processes, external devices are mostly fixed to the heat sink by threaded connections or adhesives. Threaded connections require each screw hole to be aligned and tightened during installation, which not only increases installation time but also easily leads to deformation of the external device due to uneven screw tightness. While adhesives can simplify installation, the curing time of the adhesive is long and disassembly is difficult, making it difficult to meet the needs of external device maintenance or replacement. This issue urgently needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a heat sink structure that facilitates peripheral device installation.

[0005] The above-mentioned inventive objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The mounting module has a connecting post at its bottom;

[0007] The radiator has mounting holes on its top;

[0008] The hollow elastic sleeve is interference-fitted to the mounting hole, and the connecting post is inserted into the elastic sleeve to form an interference fit.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic sleeve is made of silicone.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom edge of the connecting column has a rounded transition.

[0011] Preferably, a first limiting ring extends from the top edge of the elastic sleeve, the first limiting ring being used to abut against the top of the radiator.

[0012] Preferably, the radiator includes a plurality of heat sinks arranged in a row, mounting holes are formed in the heat sinks, and a second limiting ring extends from the edge of the elastic sleeve. A limiting groove is formed between the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring. When the elastic sleeve is interference-fitted with the mounting hole, the first heat sink is located inside the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom edge of the second limiting ring has a rounded transition.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During assembly, the connecting post of the mounting module and the elastic sleeve in the mounting hole of the radiator are interference-fitted, which enables tool-free quick installation. Compared with the traditional threaded connection, which requires each screw hole to be aligned and tightened, and is prone to uneven screw tightness, it can improve the efficiency of assembly and disassembly. Moreover, compared with the difficulty of disassembly of the traditional adhesive method, disassembly can be completed by simply pulling the connecting post out of the elastic sleeve. After assembly, the elastic sleeve forms an interference fit with the mounting hole and the connecting post respectively, that is, the connecting post is squeezed outward in the elastic sleeve and the radiator is pressed inward against the elastic sleeve, which can greatly enhance the connection stability. At the same time, the limiting groove formed by the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring in the elastic sleeve can further fix the elastic sleeve, prevent the elastic sleeve from detaching from the radiator, and further enhance the connection stability.

[0022] The following is a reference appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This application describes a heat sink structure that facilitates the installation of peripheral devices.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The heat sink structure, which facilitates peripheral installation, includes a mounting module 1, a heat sink 2, and an elastic sleeve 3. The mounting module 1 has a connecting post 4 at its bottom, and the heat sink 2 has a mounting hole 5 at its top. The elastic sleeve 3 is hollow and is interference-fitted into the mounting hole 5. The connecting post 4 is inserted into the elastic sleeve 3 and forms an interference fit. Through the interference fit between the connecting post 4, the elastic sleeve 3, and the mounting hole 5, tool-free and quick installation of the mounting module 1 and the heat sink 2 can be achieved, solving the problem of cumbersome steps in traditional threaded connections. During the interference fit process, the elastic sleeve 3's elastic buffering effect can prevent the mounting module 1 from deforming. When removal is required, the mounting module 1 can be pulled out of the elastic sleeve 3 through the connecting post 4, solving the problem of difficult removal in traditional adhesive connections. After assembly, the elastic sleeve 3 forms an interference fit with both the mounting hole 5 and the connecting post 4, that is, the connecting post 4 is squeezed outward inside the elastic sleeve 3, and the heat sink 2 is pressed inward against the elastic sleeve 3, which can greatly enhance the connection stability.

[0024] It should be noted that the mounting module 1 can be any external device, such as a light guide assembly, a digital display screen, etc. Any external device can be equipped with the connecting post 4 in the above embodiment to achieve an interference fit with the elastic sleeve 3. In this embodiment, as an example, the mounting module 1 includes a light guide cover 11 and a light guide element 12. The bottom of the light guide cover 11 has a mounting groove 13, and the bottom of the mounting groove 13 has a plurality of light guide clearance holes 14. The connecting post 4 is disposed at the bottom of the light guide element 12, and the light guide element 12 is inserted into the mounting groove 13 to guide the light. A light guide protrusion 15 extends from the top of the light component 12 corresponding to the position of the light guide clearance hole 14. When the light guide component 12 is inserted into the mounting groove 13, the light guide protrusion 15 is inserted into the light guide clearance hole 14 and the light guide protrusion 15 extends out of the top of the light guide cover 11. By setting the light guide protrusion 15 and the light guide clearance hole 14, and in conjunction with the insertion structure formed by the mounting groove 13 and the light guide component 12, the light of the mounting module 1 can be accurately emitted when it is used as a light guide component to form a specific dazzling light effect and improve the consistency of the lighting effect.

[0025] Preferably, the elastic sleeve 3 is made of silicone. The good elasticity and wear resistance of silicone can ensure the durability of the interference fit between the elastic sleeve 3 and the mounting hole 5 and the connecting post 4. Therefore, by using the elastic sleeve 3 made of silicone, its reliability can be improved.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom edge of the connecting post 4 has a rounded transition. By adopting the rounded transition design, the connecting post 4 can be easily inserted into the interior of the elastic sleeve 3, improving the ease of installation.

[0027] Preferably, the top edge of the elastic sleeve 3 extends with a first limiting ring 6, which is used to abut against the top of the radiator 2. By setting the first limiting ring 6 to abut against the top of the radiator 2, the elastic sleeve 3 can be prevented from being over-inserted into the mounting hole 5, and at the same time, it plays an auxiliary positioning role.

[0028] Furthermore, the radiator 2 includes a plurality of heat sinks 21 arranged in a row, and mounting holes 5 are formed in the heat sinks 21. The edge of the elastic sleeve 3 extends with a second limiting ring 7, and a limiting groove 8 is formed between the first limiting ring 6 and the second limiting ring 7. When the elastic sleeve 3 is interference-fitted with the mounting hole 5, the first heat sink 21 is located inside the limiting groove 8. The limiting groove 8 formed by the first limiting ring 6 and the second limiting ring 7 can limit the elastic sleeve 3 by positioning it on the first heat sink 21 in the radiator 2. After the elastic sleeve 3 completes the interference fit with the mounting hole 5, it is not easy for it to detach from the mounting hole 5 on its own.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the second limiting ring 7 has a rounded transition. By adopting the rounded transition design, the second limiting ring 7 can pass through the mounting hole 5 of the first heat sink 21, which improves the ease of installation.

[0030] The implementation principle of a heat sink structure that facilitates peripheral installation according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During assembly, after inserting the connecting post 4 of the mounting module 1 into the elastic sleeve 3 to form an interference fit, the elastic sleeve 3 is then inserted into the mounting hole 5 of the heat sink 2 to form an interference fit, and the limiting groove 8 formed by the first limiting ring 6 and the second limiting ring 7 in the elastic sleeve 3 limits the first heat sink 21 in the heat sink 2, thereby completing the tool-free installation of the mounting module 1 and the heat sink 2.

[0031] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
