Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a heat-dissipating module, and more particularly to a heat-dissipating module including a board-type heat-pipe and a heat-conductive construction connected therewith.
  • the board-type heat-pipe is composed of multiple independent heat-pipe units not communicating with each other for dissipating the heat at high efficiency.
  • a heat-radiating module is arranged for dissipating the heat so as to stabilize the operation of the device.
  • An auxiliary unit with good heat-conductivity is often disposed on the heat-generating element, such as copper plates, aluminum boards, heat-pipes, etc.
  • the heat-radiating module is attached to the surface of the heat-generating element. By means of convection, the heat is transferred to the heat-radiating module and dissipated from the other end of the heat-radiating module distal from the heat-generating element.
  • the heat-radiating module is a heat-pipe structure
  • the heat-pipe is positioned at front end of the heat-radiating module.
  • the heat is transferred from the heat-generating element to the heat-conductive material disposed in the heat-pipe. After absorbed by the heat-conductive material, the heat is transferred to a heat-dissipating end of the heat-radiating module.
  • FIG. 1 shows the heat-dissipating end of the heat-radiating module.
  • a heat-conductive construction 20 is arranged at the heat-dissipating end.
  • the heat-conductive construction 20 has a connecting end 21 connected to the surface of the heat-pipe 30 .
  • the other sections of the heat-conductive construction 20 serve as a heat-dissipating end 22 .
  • the heat-conductive construction 20 includes multiple heat-radiating plates continuously arranged along the surface of the heat-pipe 30 in parallel to each other. As shown in FIG. 2 , the heat-pipe has a circular cross-section. The heat is radially transferred from the connecting sections 21 of the heat-conductive construction 20 to the open end 22 of the heat-conductive construction 20 .
  • FIG. 3 shows another type of heat-radiating structure.
  • the heat-conductive element 20 is a metal block structure with channels 23 .
  • the metal block is disposed on a winding heat-pipe 30 .
  • the heat-conductive element 20 has a connecting section 21 in contact with the heat-pipe 30 .
  • the heat is radially transferred to the open end 22 of the heat-conductive element 20 .
  • the heat-pipe 30 simply linearly contacts the heat-conductive element 20 .
  • the heat-conductive element 20 can still hardly provide good heat-dissipating effect.
  • the heat is not uniformly transferred and spread by the heat-conductive construction 20 .
  • the heat is more likely radially transferred in accordance with the circular profile of the heat-pipe 30 .
  • the sections distal from the connecting end 21 for example, the four corners of the heat-conductive construction 20 , can hardly effectively dissipate the heat. This is because during the transfer, most of the heat is concentrated on those sections close to the heat-pipe 30 .
  • the sections distal from the heat-pipe can only absorb and dissipate little heat.
  • the heat-dissipating module of the present invention includes a board-type heat-pipe and a heat-conductive construction connected therewith.
  • the board-type heat-pipe is partially disposed on a heat-generating element for dissipating the heat.
  • the heat-conductive construction has a connecting end in contact with the board-type heat-pipe. Via the connecting end, the heat-conductive construction is connected to a predetermined section of the board-type heat-pipe. The other section of the heat-conductive construction forms an open end.
  • the board-type heat-pipe is composed of multiple independent heat-pipe units not communicating with each other. The heat generated by a heat-generating element can be quickly and uniformly transferred through the heat-pipe units to the heat-conductive construction for dissipating the heat at high efficiency.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional heat-dissipating module
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view according to FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another conventional heat-dissipating module
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view according to FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the heat-dissipating module of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view according to FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the heat-dissipating module of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a sectional view according to FIG. 7 ;
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the heat-dissipating path of the present invention.
  • the present invention includes a board-type heat-pipe 10 and a heat-conductive construction 20 .
  • the board-type heat-pipe 10 is partially disposed on a heat-generating element 40 (as shown in FIG. 9 ) for dissipating the heat generated by the heat-generating element 40 .
  • the heat-conductive construction 20 has a connecting end 21 for contacting or connecting with the board-type heat-pipe 10 . Via the connecting end 21 , the heat-conductive construction 20 is connected to a predetermined section of the board-type heat-pipe 10 .
  • the other section of the heat-conductive construction 20 forms an open end 22 .
  • the heat-conductive construction 20 includes multiple heat-conductive plates arranged around the board-type heat-pipe 10 .
  • the board-type heat-pipe 10 is composed of multiple independent heat-pipe units 11 not communicating with each other. Accordingly, the board-type heat-pipe 10 can quickly and uniformly transfer the heat for heat exchange so as to enhance the heat-dissipating efficiency of the heat-radiating module.
  • the multiple heat-pipe units 11 of the board-type heat-pipe 10 are arranged side by side without communicating with each other.
  • phase-changeable material is contained in the different heat-pipe units 11 , for example, pure water, coolant, organic solvent or a composition thereof. This can greatly enhance the heat-dissipating efficiency to several times of the heat-dissipating efficiency of the conventional uni-heat pipe structure.
  • the heat is uniformly transferred and spread to the open end 22 of the heat-conductive construction 20 as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the heat-dissipating areas of all the open ends 22 of the heat-conductive construction 20 serve to dissipate the heat at high efficiency.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the board-type heat-pipe 10 is equipped with a heat-conductive construction 20 as a metal block.
  • the metal block is formed with multiple channels 23 .
  • the connecting end 21 of the heat-conductive construction 20 connects with the surface of the board-type heat-pipe 10 by large area. In contrast to the conventional structure, such structure has larger heat-transferring area.
  • the connecting section 21 contacts the board-type heat-pipe 10 by large area so that the heat in the board-type heat-pipe 10 can be quickly and uniformly transferred to the open end 22 of the heat-conductive construction 20 to quickly dissipate the heat as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • One end of the board-type heat-pipe 10 is partially attached to a heat-generating element 40 such as an operating CUP.
  • the end of the board-type heat-pipe 10 is directly or indirectly (via a heat-dissipating plate or a thermoelectric couple) attached to the heat-generating element 40 .
  • the heat can be quickly transferred through the heat-pipe units 11 to the heat-conductive construction 20 in a direction of the arrows.
  • the other heat-pipe units 11 can still work to dissipate the heat and keep the device normally operating. Accordingly, a serviceman will have longer time to repair the board-type heat-pipe 10 so as to ensure that the operation of the device will not be affected.
  • the heat-dissipating module of the present invention is able to quickly dissipate the heat generated by a heat-generating element.
  • the board-type heat-pipe 10 composed of multiple independent heat-pipe units 11 tightly contacts the heat-conductive construction 20 by large area to quickly transfer the heat so as to enhance the heat-dissipating efficiency.
  • the heat-dissipating module of the present invention is applicable to various fields such as minitype chip module and thinned electronic sign.
