The heat dissipation module includes a heat dissipation device with better heat dissipation effect to abut against the CPU tightly.
- 2. Background of the Invention

In order to exhaust the heat generated by the CPU from the computer and let the CPU operate at permissible temperatures, a heat dissipation device with a large area is attached on a heat-exhausting surface of the CPU. Moreover, in order to let the heat dissipation device abut against the CPU tightly, a clipping device has been proposed to press the heat dissipation device on the CPU so as to improve the heat dissipation effect.

Theretention frame 92 has a supportingprotrusion 93 extending upwardly from each of four corners thereof. The supportingprotrusions 93 each define aclipping hole 94. Aheat dissipation device 95 is disposed on theCPU 90. Theheat dissipation device 95 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity and has a plurality offins 96 for increasing a heat dissipation area. In addition, afan 97 is disposed on theheat dissipation device 95 for assisting the CPU to distribute the heat. - A pair of
clipping devices 98 is disposed on theheat dissipation device 95. In assembly,clipping elements 981 at two ends of each of theclipping devices 98clip clipping holes 94 at the supportingprotrusions 93 of theretention frame 92, respectively, such that theclipping device 98 is installed on theretention frame 92 in a clipping manner. When one pulls eachpulling component 982 of each of theclipping devices 98, eachcam portion 983 of each of theclipping devices 98 moves and theclipping devices 98 and theclipping elements 981 thereof are actuated to move upwardly, so that theclipping elements 981 at the two ends of theclipping devices 98 clip theclipping holes 94 of theretention frame 92 tightly. By using the above arrangement, theclipping devices 98 press theheat dissipation device 95 to force theheat dissipation device 95 to abut against a heat-exhausting surface of the CPU tightly to assist the CPU to exhaust heat. In disassembly, one pulls thepulling components 982 in reverse to separate theclipping elements 981 at the two ends of theclipping devices 98 from theclipping holes 94 of theretention frame 92, and then theclipping devices 98 and theheat dissipation device 95 can be disassembled. - However, the
clipping device 98 adopted to a conventional heat dissipation module is complicated. In assembly or disassembly, it is laborious to pull thepulling components 982, which causes more costs. In addition, the conventionalheat dissipation device 95 does not perform a good heat dissipation effect and is not easily cleaned. - Accordingly, as discussed above, the conventional heat dissipation module still has some drawbacks that could be improved. The present invention aims to resolve the drawbacks in the prior art.
- The primary object of the invention is therefore to specify a heat dissipation module for CPU, which has a simple structure and is easily assembled or disassembled to decrease cost and to facilitate mass production.
- Another object of the invention is to specify a heat dissipation module for CPU, which has a heat dissipation device that performs better heat dissipation and is easily cleaned.

The fan-fixing frame is located on the heat dissipation device and has a top plate, four posts and a plurality of elastic pressing components. The posts extend downwardly from four corners of the top plate. Each post has a clipping element at a bottom thereof. The elastic pressing components are installed on the top plate. The fan is fixed on the top plate of the fan-fixing frame. The fan-fixing frame is disposed on the retention frame. The clipping elements at the bottoms of the posts of the fan-fixing frame respectively clip clipping holes at four supporting protrusions of the retention frame. The elastic pressing components thereby elastically press the heat dissipation device to abut against a heat-exhausting surface of the CPU.

FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , the present invention provides a heat dissipation module for CPU. The heat dissipation module comprises aheat dissipation device 10, a fan-fixing frame 20, and afan 30. Theheat dissipation device 10 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper. Theheat dissipation device 10 defines a throughhole 11 in a middle thereof (seeFIG. 7 andFIG. 8 ), which is a circular hole penetrating from a top surface to a bottom surface of theheat dissipation device 10. Theheat dissipation device 10 has a plurality offins 12 disposed around the throughhole 11, and thefins 12 defineflow passageways 13 therebetween for air to flow through. Theflow passageways 13 penetrate through the top surface, the bottom surface, and outer surfaces of theheat dissipation device 10 to form an open shape. - The
heat dissipation device 10 defines awind guiding surface 14 in an arc shape at an inner wall of the throughhole 11 near the top surface and a plurality ofwind guiding holes 15 at the inner wall near the bottom surface. The wind guidingholes 15 communicate with theflow passageways 13. The heat dissipation module further comprises a thermalconductive plate 17 made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper. The thermalconductive plate 17 is fixed at the bottom surface of theheat dissipation device 10 corresponding to the throughhole 11 viascrews 16 for being disposed on a heat-exhausting surface of theCPU 40. - The fan-fixing
frame 20 is located on the top surface and two of the outer surfaces of theheat dissipation device 10. The fan-fixingframe 20 has atop plate 21, fourposts 22, twobaffles 23, twoside clips 24, and a plurality of elasticpressing components 25. Thetop plate 21 defines an opening hole 28 (seeFIG. 6 ) and four connection holes 26. Thefan 30 is fixed on thetop plate 21 and faces theopening hole 28. Fourscrews 31 respectively penetrate through four corners of thefan 30 and screw to the related connection holes 26, so that thefan 30 is screwed on the fan-fixingframe 20. - The
posts 22 respectively extend downwardly from four corners of thetop plate 21. Theposts 22 each have aclipping element 221 protruding outwardly at a bottom thereof. The clippingelements 221 are respectively related to four clippingholes 52 at four supportingprotrusions 51 of aretention frame 50. In addition, theposts 22 each have ahollow projection 222 disposed above theclipping element 221. - The two baffles 23 respectively extend downwardly from two opposite sides of the
top plate 21, and two ends of each of thebaffles 23 and theposts 22 define a predetermined space therebetween, respectively. The twoside clips 24 respectively extend downwardly from another two opposite sides of thetop plate 21, and each of the side clips 24 is disposed at a middle between twoposts 22. - Each elastic pressing
component 25 includes aconnection part 251 and aspring 252. Theconnection part 251 has a hookingportion 253 at a top end thereof and apressing portion 254 at a bottom end thereof. Thespring 252 is located around theconnection part 251. The hookingportion 253 of each of the fourconnection parts 251 is inserted onto a related piercinghole 27 defined at each of four corners of thetop plate 21 of the fan-fixingframe 20. Thehook portion 253 is in a inverted-hook shape so as to avoid theconnection part 251 escaping from the piercinghole 27 and to install theconnection part 251 onto thetop plate 21 of the fan-fixingframe 20. Thespring 252 is disposed between thetop plate 21 and thepressing portion 254 to provide an elastic downward force for theconnection part 251. Thereby, thepressing portion 254 of each of theconnection parts 251 is able to elastically press theheat dissipation device 10 on theCPU 40 to assist theCPU 40 to distribute the heat. - Referring to
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 5 , theCPU 40 is disposed on amother board 60. Aretention frame 50 is installed on themother board 60, and theCPU 40 is disposed inside theretention frame 50. Theretention frame 50 has a supportingprotrusion 51 extending upwardly from each of four corners thereof. The supportingprotrusions 51 each define aclipping hole 52. - The
heat dissipation device 10 is disposed on theretention frame 50 at a corresponding position thereof. Theheat dissipation device 10 is slightly pressed with the palm of one hand and theprojections 222 of the fourposts 22 are pressed inwardly simultaneously, so that bottom ends of theposts 22 swing inwardly. When theclipping elements 221 at the bottom ends of the fourposts 22 of the fan-fixingframe 20 respectively correspond to the clipping holes 52 of the four supportingprotrusions 51 of theretention frame 50, theprojections 222 of theposts 22 are released, so that the clippingelements 221 at the bottom ends of the fourposts 22 of the fan-fixingframe 20 respectively clip and position at the clipping holes 52 of the four supportingprotrusions 51 of theretention frame 50. Furthermore, the twobaffles 23 and the twoside clips 24 abut against four outer edges of theheat dissipation device 10 to achieve a position effect for the fan-fixingframe 20. The elasticpressing components 25 thereby elastically press theheat dissipation device 10 on theCPU 40 and a bottom of the thermalconductive plate 17 abuts against the heat-exhausting surface of theCPU 40 to assist theCPU 40 to distribute the heat. - In disassembly, the
heat dissipation device 10 is slightly pressed by the palm of one hand and theprojections 222 of theposts 22 are pressed inwardly simultaneously, the clippingelements 221 at the bottom ends of the fourposts 22 of the fan-fixingframe 20 then respectively escape from the clipping holes 52 at the four supportingprotrusions 51 of theretention frame 50 and theheat dissipation device 10 separates from theretention frame 50 to complete the disassembly. - In addition, the
fan 30 induces cool air to flow from an upper position to a lower position to blow on thefins 12 of theheat dissipation device 10. The cool air obtains the heat to become hot air and then flows through the flow passageways 13 and drains out of the outer surfaces and the bottom surface. Thus thefan 30 is able to assist theheat dissipation device 10 and theCPU 40 to distribute the heat to achieve better heat dissipation effect. - Furthermore, the through
hole 11 and thewind guiding surface 14 guide the upper cool air to blow to a central area with high temperature of the heat-exhausting surface of theCPU 40. The cool air obtains the heat to become hot air and then flows through thewind guiding holes 15 and drains out to avoid air interference between an upward reflux of the hot air and the downward cool air to achieve a better heat dissipation effect. - Therefore, the heat dissipation module of the present invention provides a simple structure and is easily assembled or disassembled to reduce the cost of manual operation and to facilitate mass production.
- In addition, because the flow passageways 13 of the
heat dissipation device 10 are open in shape, theheat dissipation device 10 performs better heat dissipation effect and is easily cleaned. - It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above description is only illustrative of specific embodiments and examples of the invention. The invention should therefore cover various modifications and variations made to the herein-described structure and operations of the invention, provided they fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the following appended claims.
