Heat dissipation device and a method for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A heat dissipation device adapted for dissipating heat generated by an electronic component mounted on a printed circuit board, the heat dissipation device comprising:
- a first heat sink thermally contacting with the electronic component, the first heat sink having a base, a groove defined in the base, the groove enclosed by a top plate, two sidewalls slantwise extending downwardly and inwards from opposite edges of the top plate, whereby a width of a bottom portion of the groove is narrower than that of a top portion of the groove;
a second heat sink comprising a plurality of fins, each of the fins comprising an arched body and two legs extending downwardly from lateral ends of the body, respectively;
a fan sandwiched between the first and second heat sinks, the first heat sink supporting the fan, the legs of the fins of the second heat sink engaging with lateral sides of a top surface of the fan; and
a heat pipe comprising an evaporating portion and an condensing portion, the evaporating portion being directly pressed in the groove and fully contacting with the groove of the base of the first heat sink, wherein the evaporating portion is cylindrical before fully engaged in the groove, the evaporating portion is flattened when it is fully engaged in the groove and has a corresponding configuration of the groove, the condensing portion extending through the fins of the second heat sink.

Abstract
A heat dissipation device and a method for fabrication thereof are disclosed. The heat dissipation device includes a heat sink having a base, and a heat pipe embedded in the base. A groove is defined in the base. The groove is enclosed by a top surface and two sidewalls slantwise extending downwardly and inwards from opposite edges of the top surface. A width of a bottom portion of the groove is shorter than that of a top portion of the groove. The heat pipe includes an evaporation portion directly pressed in the groove by punching and fully contacts with the groove. The evaporating portion is flattened when it is fully engaged in the groove to directly contact with an electronic component. The method involves directly pressing the evaporation portion of the heat pipe into the groove of the base.

12. A heat dissipation device adapted for dissipating heat generated by an electronic component mounted on a printed circuit board, the heat dissipation device comprising:
-
a first heat sink comprising a plurality of fins; a second heat sink contacting with the electronic component and comprising a base and a plurality of fins extending from the base and spaced from each other, a groove defined in the base, a width of a bottom portion of the groove being shorter than that of a top portion, a cutout is defined at a center of an end of the second heat sink to prevent the heat pipe from interfering with the second heat sink; a heat pipe comprising a flattened evaporating portion directly embedded in the groove of the second heat sink and a condensing portion extending through the fins of the first heat sink; and a fan sandwiched between the first and second heat sink; wherein each of the fins of the first heat sink comprises an arched body and two legs extending downwardly from lateral ends of the body, respectively, the second heat sink supports the fan, and the legs of the fins of the first heat sink engaging with lateral sides of a top surface of the fan. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
