Abstract

A heat dissipating device includes a base and a plurality of heat dissipating fins. Each of the heat dissipating fins includes a heat dissipating portion, a fixing portion and an overflow-proof structure. The fixing portion is fixed in the base. The overflow-proof structure is connected between the heat dissipating portion and the fixing portion. A width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the heat dissipating portion and larger than a width of the fixing portion.

Claims (37)

1 . A heat dissipating fin comprising:

a heat dissipating portion;

a fixing portion; and

an overflow-proof structure connected between the heat dissipating portion and the fixing portion;

wherein a width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the heat dissipating portion.

2 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , wherein a length of the overflow-proof structure protruded from the fixing portion is between 1 mm and 10 mm.

3 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , further comprising a recess structure formed on the fixing portion.

4 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 3 , further comprising a hook structure formed in the recess structure.

5 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , further comprising a protruding structure protruded from one end of the fixing portion.

6 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , further comprising an extending structure extended from the overflow-proof structure toward the fixing portion.

7 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 6 , wherein the overflow-proof structure and the extending structure are formed as U-shape.

8 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the overflow-proof structure is uniform or varies gradiently.

9 . A heat dissipating device comprising:

a base; and

a plurality of heat dissipating fins, each of the heat dissipating fins comprising:

a heat dissipating portion;

a fixing portion fixed in the base; and

an overflow-proof structure connected between the heat dissipating portion and the fixing portion;

wherein a width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the heat dissipating portion.

10 . The heat dissipating device of claim 9 , wherein each of the heat dissipating fins further comprises a recess structure formed on the fixing portion.

11 . The heat dissipating device of claim 10 , wherein each of the heat dissipating fins further comprises a hook structure formed in the recess structure.

12 . The heat dissipating device of claim 9 , wherein each of the heat dissipating fins further comprises a protruding structure protruded from one end of the fixing portion.

13 . The heat dissipating device of claim 9 , wherein each of the heat dissipating fins further comprises an extending structure extended from the overflow-proof structure toward the fixing portion.

14 . The heat dissipating device of claim 13 , wherein the overflow-proof structure and the extending structure are formed as U-shape.

15 . The heat dissipating device of claim 9 , wherein a thickness of the overflow-proof structure is uniform or varies gradiently.

16 . A method of manufacturing a heat dissipating device comprising:

forming a plurality of heat dissipating fins by a forming process, wherein each of the heat dissipating fins comprises a heat dissipating portion, a fixing portion and an overflow-proof structure, the overflow-proof structure is connected between the heat dissipating portion and the fixing portion, a width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the heat dissipating portion;

putting the fixing portion of each of the heat dissipating fins into a mold;

pouring a melt metal material into the mold; and

processing the melt metal material by a die casting process so as to form a base, wherein the base covers the fixing portion of each of the heat dissipating fins and the overflow-proof structure of each of the heat dissipating fins prevents the melt metal material from overflowing.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the forming process is an aluminum extrusion process and each of the heat dissipating fins is a flat-type heat dissipating fin, or the forming process is a rivet forming process and each of the heat dissipating fins is a cylinder-type heat dissipating fin.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein forming a plurality of heat dissipating fins by a forming process further comprises forming a recess structure on the fixing portion.

19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein forming a plurality of heat dissipating fins by a forming process further comprises forming a protruding structure on the fixing portion and enabling the protruding structure to protrude from one end of the fixing portion.

20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein forming a plurality of heat dissipating fins by a forming process further comprises forming an extending structure on the overflow-proof structure and enabling the extending structure to extend from the overflow-proof structure toward the fixing portion.

21 . The heat dissipating fin of claim 1 , wherein the width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the fixing portion.

22 . The heat dissipating device of claim 9 , wherein the width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the fixing portion.

23 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the width of the overflow-proof structure is larger than a width of the fixing portion.
