Abstract

A heat dissipation assembly includes a heat sink and a fan. The heat sink device has a base and a plurality of fins formed on the base, the fins are parallel with each other, one or more of the fins cooperatively form at least two concave engagement parts. The fan has at least two elastic arms extending from middle positions of two opposite sides of the fan, an engagement hook is formed at an end of the at least two arms. The at least two engagement hooks are engagable with the at least two engagement parts, for fastening the fan on the heat sink device.

Claims (6)

1. A heat dissipation assembly comprising:

a heat sink having a base and a plurality of parallel fins extending upward from the base, one or more of the fins cooperatively forming two engaging slots at opposite sides of the fins, the engaging slots being parallel to the base; and

a fan having two elastic arms extending from middle portions of opposite sides of the fan, an engagement hook being formed at an end of each of the arms; wherein

the elastic arms are deformable to enlarge a space between the arms to allow top portions of the fins inserting into the space and reboundable to reduce the space to allow the engagement hooks interlocking with the fins at the slots, thereby fastening the fan on the heat sink; wherein the fins and the fan are rectangular, another two elastic arms respectively extend from middle portions of another opposite sides of the fan, and another two engaging slots are respectively defined at another opposite sides of the fins configured to engage with the another two elastic arms.

2. The heat dissipation assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of notches is defined at opposite ends of some middle of the fins, the notches cooperatively forming the engaging slots.

3. The heat dissipation assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the two engaging slots are respectively defined at two out fins.
