Description
[0001] This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan
patent application number 101127729 filed on Aug. 1, 2012.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates generally to a heat sink
structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly
to an annular heat sink structure and a manufacturing method
thereof.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] The conventional cylindrical heat sink includes a
cylindrical body and multiple radiating fins connected to the
circumference of the cylindrical body. There are several
conventional measures for connecting the radiating fins to the
circumference of the cylindrical body. For example, a prior art
discloses a cylindrical heat sink and a method of tightly planting
radiating fins of the heat sink and an application device thereof.
According to the method, a mold seat drivable by a power source to
create stepped rotational operation is provided. A cylindrical body
is located on the mold seat. The circumference of the cylindrical
body is formed with multiple channels. A radiating fin assembly is
provided. The radiating fin assembly includes multiple radiating
fins arranged on a lateral side of the mold seat. The cylindrical
body intermittently rotates to drive and align the channels with
the radiating fins. A radiating fin insertion device is used to
push the radiating fins and sequentially insert and locate the
radiating fins into the channels of the cylindrical body. After the
radiating fins are fully inserted in the channels of the
cylindrical body, a successive tightening process is performed to
tightly integrally connect the radiating fins to the channels.
Accordingly, the radiating fins are located on the circumference of
the cylindrical body to form a heat sink.
[0006] Another prior art discloses a tightening method for a heat
sink. The heat sink includes a heat conduction base seat and a
radiating fin assembly. One surface of the base seat is formed with
multiple channels and guide grooves positioned between two
channels. The radiating fin assembly includes multiple radiating
fins. A mold having an internal space and a press end section is
provided. A tightening/connection process is performed to press and
insert the heat sink into the internal space of the mold. The press
end section is axially thrust into the guide grooves to compress
and deform the channels. At this time, the radiating fins are
pressed to tightly integrally connect with the deformed channels.
The above method is better than the pressing and riveting method of
the conventional heat sink. The breakage of the puncher or blade
mold can be effectively reduced to promote the ratio of good
products. Also, the precision and quality of the products are
increased. This method is conveniently applicable to various heat
sinks to form different types or shapes of heat sinks.
[0007] In both the above methods, the radiating fin is first
inserted into a channel and then a mold is used to press the guide
grooves on two sides of the channel to deform the channel and press
the radiating fin to tightly integrally connect the radiating fin
with the deformed channel. Such process has some problems as
follows: [0008] 1. The outer surface of the cylindrical body not
only is formed with the channels, but also is formed with the guide
grooves. The channels and the guide grooves are alternately
arranged. That is, the number of the channels per unit surface area
is reduced. As a result, the number of the mounted radiating fins
is reduced. [0009] 2. The manufacturing method includes numerous
steps so that the manufacturing time is quite long.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0065] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective
exploded view of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective
assembled view of the present invention. The heat sink 10 of the
present invention includes a main body 12 and multiple first
radiating fins 13 connected to an outer circumference of the main
body 12. The main body has a first end 121 and a second end
122.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second ends 121, 122 of
the main body 12 define a longitudinal direction a. Referring to
FIG. 4B, multiple main body connection sections 123 are formed on
the surface of the main body and extend from the first end 121 to
the second end 122 in the longitudinal direction a. (The main body
connection sections 123 are distributed over the outer
circumference of the main body equivalently or inequivalently). The
main body 12 is formed with multiple thrust sections 124 near the
first end 121 in communication with the main body connection
sections 123 (as shown in FIG. 4B). The thrust sections 124 make it
easier to fit the first radiating fins 13 into the main body
connection sections 123 from the first end 121 of the main body 12.
The form of the thrust sections 124 is varied with the form of the
main body connection sections 123. This will be detailedly
described hereinafter.
[0067] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the multiple first radiating fins
13 are annularly arranged around the surface of the main body 12.
Each first radiating fin 13 has a first connection section 131
corresponding to the main body connection section 123 of the main
body 12. The first connection section 131 can be thrust into the
main body connection section 123 from the first end 121 to the
second end 122 in the longitudinal direction a so as to integrally
connect the first radiating fin 13 with the main body 12.
[0068] Further referring to FIGS. 3A to 3C, the first connection
section 131 is formed with a right angle 132 or a guide section.
For example, the guide section is, but not limited to, a round
angle 133a or a reverse angle 133b. By means of the guide section,
the first connection section 131 can be easily and smoothly thrust
into the thrust section 124 and the main body connection section
123.
[0069] Please further refer to FIGS. 4A to 4C. Also referring to
FIG. 3A, in a preferred embodiment, the main body connection
section 123 is a connection channel and the thrust section 124 is
also a connection channel. The thrust section 124 has a width
slightly larger than that of the main body connection section 123
(as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B). The first connection section 131 is
a first end edge of the first radiating fin 13 (as shown in FIGS.
3A and 4C). The first connection section 131 is connected to the
main body connection section 123 (as shown in FIG. 4B) by means of
press fit.
[0070] Please further refer to FIGS. 5A to 5D. In another
embodiment, the main body connection sections 123a are ribs and the
thrust sections 124a are also ribs. The thrust section 124a has a
width slightly smaller than that of the main body connection
section 123a (as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B). The first connection
section 131a is a connection channel (as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D).
The first connection section 131A is connected to the main body
connection section 123A (as shown in FIG. 5A) by means of press
fit.
[0071] Please further refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B. In another
embodiment, the main body connection section 123 is formed with a
raised/recessed non-planar surface 1231, while the first connection
section 131 has a planar surface (as shown in FIG. 4C).
Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, in another embodiment,
the first connection section 131 is formed with a raised/recessed
non-planar surface 1311 and the main body connection section 123
has a planar surface (as shown in FIG. 4A). This can enhance the
connection friction therebetween to avoid detachment of the first
connection section 131. The configurations of the main body
connection section and the first connection section are not limited
to the above embodiments. In still another embodiment, both the
main body connection section 123 and the first connection section
131 are formed with raised/recessed non-planar surfaces 1231, 1311,
which are mated with each other (as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D).
[0072] Many embodiments of the main body connection sections 123 of
the main body 12 and the first radiating fins 13 will be described
hereinafter.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 7A, the main body connection sections 123
are connection channels radially distributed over the circumference
of the main body 12. The main body connection sections 123 are
normal to the surface of the main body 12. The first radiating fin
13 is straight from the first connection end 131 to an outer free
end without bending.
[0074] As shown in FIG. 7B, in another embodiment, the main body
connection sections 123 are connection channels radially
distributed over the circumference of the main body 12. The main
body connection sections 123 are inclined to the surface of the
main body 12. The first radiating fin 13 is straight from the first
connection end 131 to an outer free end without bending.
[0075] As shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, in another embodiment, the
first radiating fin 13a has at least one end first bending angle
1234a. In the case that the heat sink is used in cooperation with a
cooling fan, the fluid passing through the cooling fan is easy to
go into the flow ways between the first radiating fins 13a and then
quickly flow out to carry away the heat.
[0076] As shown in FIGS. 7E and 7F, in another embodiment, the
first connection section 131c of the first radiating fin 13c is
formed with a first bending root section 135c connected in the main
body connection section 123, 123c of the main body 12. Similarly,
in the case that the heat sink is used in cooperation with a
cooling fan, the fluid passing through the cooling fan is easy to
go into the flow ways between the first radiating fins 13c and then
quickly flow out to carry away the heat.
[0077] Please now refer to FIG. 8A. Also referring to FIG. 1, in
another embodiment, the heat sink further includes multiple second
radiating fins 14. Each second radiating fin 14 has a second
connection section 141 immediately adjacent to the first connection
section 131 of the first radiating fin 13. Along with the first
connection section 131, the second connection section 141 is
high-speed thrust into the main body connection section 123 from
the first end 121 of the main body 12 to the second end 122 in the
longitudinal direction a. In this embodiment, the main body
connection section 123 is a connection channel, while the first
connection section 131 is a first end edge of the first radiating
fin 13 and the second connection section 141 is a second end edge
of the second radiating fin 14. That is, at least one first
connection section 131 and one second connection section 141 are
tightly fitted in one connection channel (the main body connection
section 123) with the first radiating fin 13 adjacent to the second
radiating fin 14.
[0078] Moreover, as shown in the drawings, the first radiating fin
13 is straight from the first connection section 131 to an outer
free end without bending. Also, the second radiating fin 14 is
straight from the second connection section 141 to an outer free
end without bending. The first radiating fin 13 has a first
thickness f1 and the second radiating fin 14 has a second thickness
f2. The first thickness f1 is equal to the second thickness f2.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 8B, in another embodiment, the first
thickness f1 of the first radiating fin 13 is unequal to the second
thickness f2 of the second radiating fin 14.
[0080] The first radiating fin 13 is made of a first material,
while the second radiating fin 14 is made of a second material. The
first material is a metal material and the second material is also
a metal material. The first material is identical or not identical
to the second material. The metal is selected from a group
consisting of gold, silver, copper and aluminum.
[0081] As shown in FIGS. 8C and 8D, in another embodiment, the
first radiating fin 13e has a first bending angle 134e, while the
second radiating fin 14e has a second bending angle 144e. The angle
of the first bending angle 134e is unequal to the angle of the
second bending angle 144e (as shown in FIG. 8C) or equal to the
angle of the second bending angle 144e (as shown in FIG. 8D).
[0082] As shown in FIG. 8E, in still another embodiment, the first
radiating fin 13f is formed with a first bending root section 135f
and the second radiating fin 14f is formed with a second bending
root section 145f. The first and second bending root sections 135f,
145f are connected in the main body connection section 123 of the
main body 12. In this embodiment, the main body connection section
123 is a connection channel, while the first connection section
131f is a first end edge of the first radiating fin 13f and the
second connection section 141f is a second end edge of the second
radiating fin 14f.
[0083] In still another embodiment, the first radiating fin 13
and/or the second radiating fin 14 are equivalently or
inequivalently tightly connected to the main body.
[0084] Please further refer to FIGS. 9, 10, 11A and 11B. FIG. 9 is
a flow chart of the manufacturing method of the present invention.
The manufacturing method of the present invention includes steps
of:
61. providing a mold 40 as shown in FIG. 10, the mold 40 having an
inner circumference 41, an upper surface 42 and multiple splits 43,
the inner circumference 41 defining an internal space 44 in which a
central body 45 is disposed, the multiple splits 43 being radially
formed around the internal space 44 in communication with the
internal space 44 and downward extending from the upper surface 42;
62. providing the main body 12 as shown in FIG. 10, the first end
121 of the main body 12 being aimed at the central body 45 disposed
in the internal space 44 of the mold 40, the main body 12 being
temporarily positioned above the mold 40 with the first end 121 of
the main body 12 aimed at the central body 45; 63. providing the
multiple first radiating fins 13 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11A, the
first radiating fins 13 being received in the splits 43 with the
first connection sections 131 protruding from the inner
circumference 41 of the mold 40, each the first connection section
131 being aligned with one of the main body connection sections 123
and one of the thrust sections 124; and 64. using a mechanical
processing measure (air compression effect) to high-speed impact
the main body 12 as shown in FIGS. 10, 11A and 11B to thrust the
main body 12 toward the central body 45 into the internal space 44
and move the main body 12 relative to the multiple first radiating
fins 13, at this time, the first connection sections 131 of the
first radiating fins 13 being thrust from the thrust sections 124
of the first end 121 of the main body 12 into the main body
connection sections 123 and moved in the longitudinal direction a
to the second end 122 to tightly integrally connect with the main
body 12.
[0085] In step 64, an air compression apparatus 50 serves as a
power source for creating compressed air. In the instant of
relieving the compressed air, a power is generated to push and
drive the main body 12 to thrust into the internal space 44 at high
speed. In the meantime, the thrust sections 124 and the main body
connection sections 123 are thrust into the first connection
sections 131 from upper side of the mold 40 at high speed.
Accordingly, the main body 12 is integrally connected with the
first radiating fins 13 to form a heat sink 10. The central body 45
serves to ensure that the main body 12 can be downward thrust into
the internal space 44 in correct position along the central body
45. The air compression apparatus 50 is, but not limited to, an air
compressor.
[0086] Referring to FIG. 2, after step 64 is completed, the heat
sink 10 is taken out from the mold 40.
[0087] In the above embodiments, the main body 12 is a hollow body.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, the main body 12 can be a
solid body. In the case that the main body 12 is a solid body, no
central body is disposed in the internal space 44 of the mold
40.
[0088] FIG. 12 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of the
manufacturing method of the present invention. The second
embodiment is substantially identical to the first embodiment and
thus will not be repeatedly described hereinafter. The second
embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that after
step 62, the second embodiment of the manufacturing method of the
present invention includes steps of:
73. providing the multiple first radiating fins 13 and multiple
second radiating fins 14, the first and second radiating fins 13,
14 being received in the splits 43 with the first connection
sections 131 of the first radiating fins 13 and the second
connection sections 141 of the second radiating fins 14 protruding
from the inner circumference 41 of the mold 40. 74. using an air
compression effect to high-speed impact the main body to thrust the
main body 12 toward the central body 45 into the internal space 44
and move the main body 12 relative to the first and second
radiating fins 13, 14, at this time, the first connection sections
131 of the first radiating fins 13 and the second connection
sections 141 of the second radiating fins 14 being thrust from the
thrust sections 124 of the first end 121 of the main body 12 into
the main body connection sections 123 and moved in the longitudinal
direction a to the second end 122 to tightly integrally connect
with the main body 12.
[0089] Referring to FIG. 8A, after step 74 is completed, the heat
sink 10 is taken out from the mold 40.
[0090] The present invention has been described with the above
embodiments thereof and it is understood that many changes and
modifications in the above embodiments can be carried out without
departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention that is
intended to be limited only by the appended claims.
