This kind of fixed mode is comparatively complicated, needs to install by screw tightening tool with the help of the screw, and radiator and screw are installed by two different faces of circuit board respectively, consequently, puts the radiator in good place, just can operate the screw of screwing up after needing to overturn the circuit board.
Based on this, the present invention provides a heat sink fixing structure 100, which omits screws in the related art, so that a screw tightening tool is not required, and the fixing member 30 of the present invention fixes the heat sink 20, the fixing member 30 and the heat sink 20 can be installed on the same surface of the circuit board 10, and the installation can be completed only by pressing with hands, which is simple and convenient to operate, and is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency and saving the working hours.
A heat sink fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, 2, and 10 to 13, a heat sink fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a circuit board 10, a heat sink 20, and a fixing member 30. As shown in fig. 6 to 9 and 14 to 15, the fixing member 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: connecting portion 31, spacing portion 32 and elastic catch 33.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 10-13, an electronic component 11 is disposed on one side of the circuit board 10, and heat generated by the electronic component 11 during operation is formed as a heat generating component. Therefore, the heat sink 20 is required to dissipate heat of the electronic component 11. The heat sink 20 may be in contact with the electronic component 11 so that heat generated by the operation of the electronic component 11 is rapidly conducted to the heat sink 20 and dissipated through the heat sink 20. In some embodiments, the heat sink 20 may be an aluminum member, which has high heat dissipation efficiency, low weight, low cost, and easy manufacturing.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1-6, the heat sink 20 may include a heat dissipation plate 24 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 25, the heat dissipation fins 25 are spaced apart from each other, and an edge of each heat dissipation fin 25 is connected to the same side surface of the heat dissipation plate 24. The surface of the heat dissipating plate 24 facing away from the heat dissipating fins 25 may abut against the electronic component 11 to achieve surface contact, and the heat of the electronic component 11 is conducted to the heat dissipating plate 24 and further to the heat dissipating fins 25, thereby improving heat dissipating efficiency by the large surface area of the heat dissipating plate 24 and the plurality of heat dissipating fins 25.
In addition, the heat sink 20 is fixed to the circuit board 10 by the fixing member 30, so that the heat sink 20 is in close contact with the circuit board 10, and stable and efficient heat dissipation is maintained. Specifically, the circuit board 10 may be provided with a communication port 12, the communication port 12 communicating with both side surfaces in the thickness direction of the circuit board 10, one of the side surfaces being provided with the electronic component 11. The fixing member 30 may include a connection portion 31, a stopper portion 32, and an elastic catch 33.
As shown in fig. 2 and 12, the position-limiting portion 32 and the elastic buckle 33 are connected to the connecting portion 31 to form a whole. The connecting portion 31 may be inserted through the communication opening 12, so that the stopper portion 32 and the elastic catch 33 may be respectively located at both sides of the circuit board 10 in the thickness direction. The position-limiting portion 32 may abut against a surface (e.g., an upper surface shown in fig. 2) of the heat sink 20 facing away from the electronic component 11 to prevent the heat sink 20 from moving away from the electronic component 11, so as to firmly press the heat sink 20 against the electronic component 11. The elastic catch 33 can abut against a surface (e.g., a lower surface shown in fig. 2) of the circuit board 10 facing away from the heat sink 20, so as to prevent the connecting portion 31 from coming off from the communication port 12, and the fixing member 30 is reliably connected to the circuit board 10, thereby reliably fixing the heat sink 20. The circuit board 10, the electronic component 11 and the heat sink 20 may be sandwiched between the limiting portion 32 and the elastic clip 33 to achieve reliable fixation.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, 6 to 9, and 12 to 15, one end of the elastic catch 33 may be connected to the connection portion 31, the other end of the elastic catch 33 may abut against the circuit board 10, and the elastic catch 33 may be elastically deformed such that the other end of the elastic catch 33 (i.e., an end portion for abutting against the circuit board 10) may be spaced from the connection portion 31 variably. In other words, the elastic buckle 33 extends from one end to the other end in a direction away from the connecting portion 31, so that a certain included angle is formed between the elastic buckle 33 and the connecting portion 31, and the elastic buckle 33 can elastically deform, so that the included angle between the elastic buckle 33 and the connecting portion 31 can be changed. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6-7 and 11-12, the elastic buckle 33 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the position-limiting portion 32 and away from the connecting portion 31.
Therefore, during the assembly process, the heat sink 20 may be placed on the electronic component 11, the connection point of the elastic catch 33 and the connection portion 31 is aligned with the communication opening 12, and then the fixing member 30 is pressed to make the elastic catch 33 and the connection portion 31 pass through the communication opening 12. When the elastic catch 33 passes through the communication port 12, the other end of the elastic catch 33 can be elastically deformed in a direction approaching the connection portion 31 by the stopping action of the edge of the communication port 12, so that the elastic catch 33 and the connection portion 31 can smoothly pass through the communication port 12. After the elastic catch 33 passes through the communication port 12, the elastic catch 33 can be restored to its original shape, that is, the other end of the elastic catch 33 moves away from the connection portion 31 to abut against the circuit board 10 and be mounted in place.
The radiator 20 is fixed through the fixing piece 30, the elastic buckle 33 of the fixing piece 30 can elastically deform, the fixing piece 30 is easier to assemble, the circuit board 10 does not need to be turned over with the help of tools, the radiator 20 can be installed in place only by pressing with one hand, and the operation is convenient and fast. And the elastic buckle 33 can be elastically deformed, so that the matching interference amount of the fixing member 30 and the circuit board 10 can be larger, thereby improving the reliability of connection and avoiding the risk of loosening the fixing member 30.
According to the heat sink fixing structure 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the heat sink 20 is fixed on the circuit board 10 through the fixing member 30, the fixing member 30 is simple in installation process, the circuit board 10 does not need to be turned over, a tool is not needed, the working hours are saved, the elastic buckle 33 enables the fixing member 30 and the circuit board 10 to have large interference amount and not to be easily loosened, and the fixing reliability is improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the heat sink 20 may be provided with a slot 21, and the stopper 32 may be inserted into the slot 21. Not only the heat sink 20 is pressed against the electronic component 11, but also the preliminary limit and the anti-shaking limit between the fixing member 30 and the heat sink 20 can be realized.
Specifically, in the specific embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3, the limiting portions 32 cooperate with the lower groove walls of the slots 21 to press the heat sink 20 against the electronic component 11; the limiting part 32 is matched with the front groove wall and the rear groove wall of the slot 21 to limit the radiator 20 and the circuit board 10 in the front-rear direction; as shown in fig. 6, during assembly, the position-limiting portion 32 may be inserted into the slot 21 to achieve initial connection between the fixing element 30 and the heat sink 20, and then the fixing element 30 is mounted on the circuit board 10, so that the operation is easier.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, 7-9, the fixing member 30 may further include a position-limiting elastic sheet 34. The limiting elastic sheet 34 is connected with the limiting part 32 and is suitable for being inserted into the slot 21, and the limiting elastic sheet 34 is stopped between the limiting part 32 and the slot wall of the slot 21 so as to increase the pressing force of the limiting part 32 on the heat sink 20 and prevent the limiting part 32 from being separated from the slot 21.
Specifically, one end (e.g., the lower end shown in fig. 2) of the elastic limit tab 34 may be connected to the limit portion 32, and the other end (e.g., the upper end shown in fig. 2) of the elastic limit tab 34 may be located on one side (e.g., the upper side shown in fig. 2) of the limit portion 32, that is, the other end of the elastic limit tab 34 is spaced apart from the limit portion 32 by a certain distance, so that the elastic limit tab 34 may be elastically deformed relative to the limit portion 32, thereby increasing the abutting force against the groove wall of the slot 21. Moreover, the other side surface (for example, the lower side shown in fig. 2) of the limiting portion 32 and the other end of the limiting elastic sheet 34 may respectively abut against two opposite side surfaces of the slot 21, so that the limiting portion 32 and the limiting elastic sheet 34 are clamped in the slot 21.
In some embodiments, the limiting elastic sheet 34 extends along the insertion direction of the limiting portion 32 and toward a direction close to the limiting portion 32 to form an inclined barb structure, so that in the process of inserting the limiting portion 32 into the insertion slot 21, the other end of the limiting elastic sheet 34 can gradually approach the limiting portion 32 to elastically deform, so that the insertion is easier, and the fixing member 30 is not easily moved against the insertion direction to avoid being loosened.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 7, a distance between the other side of the position-limiting portion 32 and the other end of the position-limiting elastic piece 34 is L1, and a distance between two opposite side surfaces of the slot 21 is L2, wherein L1 > L2. When the limiting portion 32 is inserted into the slot 21, the limiting elastic sheet 34 is elastically deformed, and interference fit is formed between the limiting portion 32 and the slot wall of the slot 21 and between the limiting elastic sheet 34 and the slot wall of the slot 21, so that the fixing member 30 is effectively prevented from being separated from the slot 21, and the connection is more reliable.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the number of the limiting elastic pieces 34 may be multiple, so as to further increase the interference fit effect between the limiting elastic pieces and the slot wall of the slot 21, and improve the anti-dropping effect. In some embodiments, the plurality of limiting elastic pieces 34 may be distributed in an array, which is convenient for processing on one hand and enables the fixing member 30 and the heat sink 20 to be stressed uniformly on the other hand.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the limiting portion 32 may include a main limiting plate and a plurality of branch limiting plates disposed in a coplanar manner, the plurality of branch limiting plates are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the main limiting plate to form a shape similar to a "king" shape, a "dry" shape, and the like, and the plurality of limiting elastic pieces 34 may be respectively connected to the plurality of branch limiting plates, so that the force applied to the limiting portion 32 and the heat sink 20 is more uniform, and the anti-dropping limiting effect is improved. In addition, in above-mentioned structure, spacing portion 32 and spacing shell fragment 34 can be an organic whole, in the course of working, can form a complete metal sheet through cutting processing and bending processing, need not to splice, and the sound construction.
It should be noted that the number of the limiting elastic pieces 34 includes, but is not limited to, four as shown in fig. 8, and the arrangement manner of the plurality of limiting elastic pieces 34 also includes, but is not limited to, that shown in fig. 8, and only the effect of preventing the limiting portion 32 from coming out of the slot 21 needs to be satisfied.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, a distance between a surface of the heat sink 20 for abutting against the position-limiting portion 32 (e.g., a lower groove wall of the slot 21 shown in fig. 2) and a surface of the circuit board 10 facing away from the heat sink 20 (e.g., a lower surface shown in fig. 2, that is, a surface for abutting against the elastic buckle 33) may be L3, and a distance between the position-limiting portion 32 and the other end of the elastic buckle 33 is L4, where L3 > L4, so that after the fixing member 30 is installed, the position-limiting portion 32 can be in interference fit with the heat sink 20, the elastic buckle 33 can be in interference fit with the circuit board 10, and the heat sink 20 and the circuit board 10 are clamped between the position-limiting portion 32 and the elastic buckle 33, thereby improving the fixing reliability and making the heat conduction between the heat sink 20 and the electronic element 11 more efficient.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 to 9, the fixing member 30 may further include a guide portion 35, the guide portion 35 and the elastic catch 33 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the connecting portion 31, and the guide portion 35 may extend along a penetrating direction of the connecting portion 31 and in a direction away from the elastic catch 33. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 7, the connecting portion 31 passes downward through the communication opening 12, the elastic catch 33 is located on the inner side of the connecting portion 31 (i.e., the side facing the electronic component 11), the guiding portion 35 is located on the outer side of the connecting portion 31 (i.e., the side away from the electronic component 11), and the guiding portion 35 extends obliquely downward and outward. Therefore, when the fixing element 30 is installed, the guide portion 35 passes through the communication opening 12 before the connecting portion 31, and the guide portion 35 can gradually move outwards under the resisting action of the inner edge of the communication opening 12 to drive the connecting portion 31 and the elastic buckle 33 to move outwards, so that the penetrating installation is easier.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the angle between the guiding portion 35 and the connecting portion 31 is α, and satisfies 120 ° ≦ α ≦ 160 °, for example, the angle α may be 150 °, and within the above-mentioned range, the guiding portion 35 is more effective.
Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the guide part 35 may be a guide plate, and one end of the guide plate may be connected to an end of the connection part 31, and the other end of the guide plate may be provided with a chamfer 351. In other words, the width of the guide plate at least at the end portion far from the connecting portion 31 decreases progressively along the penetrating direction, and in the specific embodiment shown in fig. 8 and 9, the width of the guide plate decreases progressively downward along the front-rear direction, so that the lower end of the guide plate is more easily inserted and communicated, which is beneficial to improving the installation efficiency.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the chamfer 351 has an angle β, and satisfies an angle β of 20 ≦ β ≦ 40, for example, the included angle β may be 30, within which the guiding and pre-positioning of the guide 35 is more effective.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific structure of the elastic buckle 33 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the elastic buckle 33 may be an elastic piece, and the fixing member 30 includes an elastic piece with a larger width to provide a reliable fixing. In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, 14-15, the number of the elastic buckles 33 may be multiple, and multiple elastic buckles 33 may be distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion 31 to cooperate with multiple positions on the circumferential edge of the communication port 12, so as to improve the fixing reliability. As in fig. 14, the resilient catch 33 may be a resilient arm.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 12, the fixing member 30 may further include a driving portion 36, and the driving portion 36 may apply a driving force to the connecting portion 31, where the driving force is opposite to the penetrating direction of the connecting portion 31, so that the abutting force between the elastic buckle 33 and the circuit board 10 can be increased, and the connection reliability and the anti-loosening effect can be improved.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 7 to 8, the driving portion 36 may be a driving elastic sheet 361, two ends of the driving elastic sheet 361 are respectively connected to the position-limiting portion 32 and the connecting portion 31, and the driving elastic sheet 361 extends toward the direction close to the connecting portion 31 and away from the elastic buckle 33, and in the example shown in fig. 2, the driving elastic sheet 361 extends outward and upward. In the process of installing the fixing member 30, the limiting portion 32 and the connecting portion 31 are pressed to deform the driving elastic sheet 361, one end of the driving elastic sheet 361, which is connected with the connecting portion 31, moves along the penetrating direction along with the connecting portion 31 until the elastic buckle 33 completely penetrates through the communication port 12 and abuts against the circuit board 10, then the pressing is stopped, the driving elastic sheet 361 rebounds to drive the connecting portion 31 to move along the direction opposite to the penetrating direction, so that the elastic buckle 33 is pressed against the circuit board 10, and the limiting portion 32 presses the heat sink 20 against the electronic element 11.
Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 7, a distance between a surface of the heat sink 20 abutting against the limiting portion 32 and the second side surface of the circuit board 10 is L3, and a distance between an end of the driving elastic piece 361 far away from the elastic buckle 33 and the other end of the elastic buckle 33 is L5, where L5 > L3. So that in the installation process, the driving elastic sheet 361 has enough deformation, and the elastic buckle 33 can completely pass through the communication port 12, and the installation is ensured to be in place.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 12, 14 and 15, the driving portion 36 may be a coil spring 362.
