Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat sink technology, specifically a heat sink for routers. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing network communication technology, routers, as key devices connecting different networks, directly impact network transmission efficiency through their operational stability. With the continuous upgrading of router functions and the significant increase in data processing volume, a large amount of heat is generated during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, the temperature of the router's internal components will rise, not only reducing the device's operating speed but also potentially shortening its lifespan and even causing malfunctions. Therefore, equipping routers with efficient heat dissipation devices is a crucial aspect of ensuring their stable operation.

[0003] Heat sinks, as common heat dissipation components, are widely used in router cooling designs. Currently, router heat sinks on the market are typically fixed to the router body using screws, clips, or other methods. However, these fixing methods have several drawbacks: when using screws, special tools such as screwdrivers are required, making the installation process cumbersome. Moreover, in the confined space inside the router, tightening and loosening screws is difficult, significantly reducing assembly and maintenance efficiency. While clips do not require tools, their size and structure are often designed for specific router models, making it difficult to achieve stable installation with routers of different heights or structures, resulting in poor versatility.

[0004] Furthermore, due to differences in the internal structural design of routers from different brands and models, heat sinks need to adapt to different installation spaces and height requirements. Existing heat sinks, due to their fixed structure, are difficult to adjust flexibly in terms of their relative distance from the router, thus limiting their applicability and failing to meet the diverse heat dissipation needs of routers. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technical solutions, this utility model provides a heat sink for routers, which can effectively solve the technical problems of troublesome assembly and low versatility of current heat sinks for routers.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A heat sink for a router includes a heat sink body and several locking components, wherein the heat sink body is provided with several mounting holes in the circumferential direction.

[0008] The locking component includes a locking screw and a spring body. The locking screw has an integrally formed head, body, and elastic fixing part. The body passes through a mounting hole, and the spring body is sleeved on the outside of the body and located between the head and the heat sink. The spring body generates an elastic force that moves the locking screw towards the head. The elastic fixing part is circumferentially disposed at the end of the body away from the head. One end of the elastic fixing part is fixed to the body, and the other end of the elastic fixing part extends radially towards the body to form a locking structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat sink includes a heat sink base and multiple heat sink fins. The heat sink base is provided with several positioning grooves, and the positioning grooves are provided with mounting slots. The bottom of the heat sink fins is provided with mounting posts that match the mounting slots, and the heat sink fins are fixed in the positioning grooves by the insertion and engagement of the mounting posts with the mounting slots.

[0010] Furthermore, the heat sink base is provided with several protrusions in the circumference, the mounting hole is opened in the middle of the protrusion, and the protrusion is provided with an annular groove surrounding the mounting hole, the annular groove being used to position the spring body.

[0011] Furthermore, the heat dissipation fins include a bonding portion that is fixed to the heat dissipation base plate and a plurality of parallel heat dissipation portions. One end of the heat dissipation portion is integrally connected to the bonding portion, and the other end of the heat dissipation portion is provided with a heat dissipation hole.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the elastic fixing part is extended toward the head, and the side of the body is provided with a recess that matches the shape of the elastic fixing part, the recess being used to accommodate the elastic fixing part.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) Through the design of the heat sink and the locking part, after the locking screw is inserted into the mounting hole, the locking structure formed by the elastic fixing part expanding radially towards the body can quickly fix the heat sink and the router without complicated tools and cumbersome operation steps, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0015] (2) The spring body sleeved on the outside of the locking part generates a spring force that moves the locking screw towards the head. The position of the locking screw is adjusted by the spring force, thereby changing the relative distance between the heat sink and the router, ensuring that the heat sink can be stably installed on routers of different heights, thus improving the versatility and applicability of the heat sink.

[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this technical solution provides a heat sink for routers that can meet the usage requirements of routers of different heights. It has a reasonable structural design, good heat dissipation effect, and is convenient and reliable to install and fix.

[0030] The heat sink for routers mainly consists of a heat sink 1 and several locking components 2. The heat sink 1 is used to contact the heat-generating components of the router and dissipate heat, while the locking components 2 are used to stably fix the heat sink 1 to the router, and can adapt to the installation requirements of routers of different heights.

[0031] The structure of the heat sink includes a heat sink base 11 and multiple heat sink fins 12, which work together to achieve efficient heat dissipation.

[0032] The heat sink 11, as the basic component for heat dissipation, is provided with several positioning grooves 111. These grooves provide precise positioning for the installation of the heat dissipation fins 12. Each positioning groove 111 contains a mounting slot 112, which matches the mounting post 121 at the bottom of the heat dissipation fins 12. The heat dissipation fins 12 are securely fixed within the positioning grooves 111 through the insertion and engagement of the mounting post 121 with the mounting slot 112. This connection method not only facilitates installation but also ensures good contact between the heat dissipation fins 12 and the heat sink 11, promoting rapid heat transfer.

[0033] The heat sink 11 has several protrusions 113 around its circumference, and mounting holes 115 are formed in the middle of the protrusions 113. The protrusions 113 increase the structural strength at the mounting holes 115 and also provide suitable space for the installation of the locking member 2. The protrusions 113 have an annular groove 114 surrounding the mounting holes 115. The annular groove 114 is used to position the spring body 22, ensuring that the spring body 22 will not shift during operation and ensuring the stability of its elastic force.

[0034] The heat dissipation fins 12 include a bonding portion 122 that is fixedly attached to the heat dissipation base 11 and a plurality of parallel heat dissipation portions 123. The bonding portion 122 is tightly attached to the heat dissipation base 11, which can efficiently transfer heat from the heat dissipation base 11 to the heat dissipation portions 123. One end of the heat dissipation portion 123 is integrally connected to the bonding portion 122, and the other end has a heat dissipation hole 124. The heat dissipation hole 124 increases the contact area between the heat dissipation portion 123 and the air, accelerates the heat dissipation rate, and improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0035] The locking component 2 comprises a locking screw 21 and a spring body 22. The locking screw 21 has an integrally formed head 211, a body 212, and an elastic fixing part 213. The body 212 passes through the mounting hole 115, providing support for the connection between the locking component 2 and the heat sink 1. The spring body 22 is sleeved on the outside of the body 212 and located between the head 211 and the heat sink 1. The spring body 22 generates a spring force that moves the locking screw 21 toward the head 211. This spring force allows the locking component to adaptively adjust according to the height of the router during the fixing process, meeting the usage requirements of routers of different heights.

[0036] The elastic fixing part 213 is circumferentially disposed at the end of the body 212 away from the head 211. One end of the elastic fixing part 213 is fixed to the body 212, and the other end extends radially toward the body 212 to form a locking structure. This locking structure can securely fix the heat sink to the router. The extended end of the elastic fixing part 213 faces the head 211. The side of the body 212 is provided with a recess 214 that matches the shape of the elastic fixing part 213. The recess 214 is used to house the elastic fixing part 213. During installation and disassembly, the elastic fixing part 213 can be housed in the recess 214 for easy operation and protection from damage.

[0037] When the heat sink used in the router is in operation, it first contacts the heat-generating components of the router through the heat sink base 11 in the heat sink 1, absorbing the heat generated by the router's operation. The heat is transferred through the heat sink base 11 to the heat sink fins 12 connected to it. The heat dissipation parts 123 and heat dissipation holes 124 of the heat sink fins 12 increase the contact area with the air, quickly dissipating the heat into the air and achieving the heat dissipation function. During installation and fixing, the elastic fixing part 213 of the locking member 2 passes through the mounting hole of the router. Under the elastic force of the spring body 22, the elastic fixing part 213 unfolds to form a locking structure, fixing the heat sink to the router. Because the elastic force of the spring body 22 allows the locking screw 21 to move adaptively, it can adapt to routers of different heights, ensuring that the heat sink is always in close contact with the router and guaranteeing the stability of the heat dissipation effect.

[0038] Compared with traditional technologies, the heat sink provided by this technical solution, through the cooperative design of the heat sink 1 and the locking part 2, can quickly fix the heat sink 1 to the router by means of the locking structure formed by the elastic fixing part 213 expanding radially in the body after the locking screw 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 115. This eliminates the need for complicated tools and cumbersome operation steps, greatly improving assembly efficiency. The spring body 22 sleeved on the outside of the locking part 2 generates elastic force that moves the locking screw 21 towards the head 211. By adjusting the position of the locking screw 21 through elastic force, the relative distance between the heat sink 1 and the router is changed, ensuring that the heat sink 1 can be stably installed on routers of different heights, thus improving the versatility and applicability of the heat sink.
