Abstract

A heat dissipating module includes a heat sink and an aerofoil deflector above the heat sink. The heat sink has an upper surface corresponding to the camber of the deflector, to increase the speed and efficiency of a cooling airflow passing therethrough, the airflow generated by a fan.

Claims (24)

1. A heat dissipating module, comprising:

a heat sink, including an upper surface; and

an aerofoil deflector, mounted over the upper surface of the heat sink, the deflector including an aerofoil bottom surface spaced and facing the upper surface of the heat sink;

wherein the upper surface of the heat sink is in the shape of a V, along a direction of the airflow flowing therethrough, the heat sink further includes a valley defined on the upper surface, the valley divides the upper surface into two inclined sub-surfaces;

wherein the deflector includes a camber defined on the bottom surface, the camber is disposed over the valley.

2. The heat dissipating module of claim 1 , wherein the heat sink further includes a leading end and a trailing end along a direction of the airflow flowing therethrough, the trailing end is higher than the leading end, and the leading end faces an airflow source.

3. The heat dissipating module of claim 2 , wherein the heat sink includes a plurality of fins, a plurality of passages for airflow are formed between the plurality of fins.

4. The heat dissipating module of claim 1 , further comprising a pedestal, wherein the heat sink is mounted perpendicularly on the pedestal, the pedestal is a heat conducting board, which is mounted clingy to a CPU and conduct heat from the CPU, the heat sink and the pedestal are made by stamping process.

5. The heat dissipating module of claim 1 , wherein the deflector further includes a flat top surface opposites to the bottom surface, the top surface is oriented at a predetermined angle to the horizontal plane.

6. The heat dissipating module of claim 1 , further comprising at least one heat pipe, wherein one end of the heat pipe runs through the heat sink, the other end protrudes above the heat sink and supports the deflector above the heat sink.

7. The heat dissipating module of claim 6 , wherein the heat sink defines at least one hole near the bottom portion thereof, the deflector defines at least one connecting hole therethrough.

8. The heat dissipating module of claim 6 , wherein the heat pipe is effectively endless, forming a closed ring in the shape of a rectangle, and includes a lower portion, two arms, and an upper portion, the lower portion is inside the hole of the heat sink, the two arms are located on the opposite ends of the heat sink, the upper portion protrudes above the upper surface of the heat sink and is inside the connecting hole of the deflector.

9. A computer, comprising a CPU and a heat dissipating module, the heat dissipating module comprising:

a pedestal, mounted clingy to the CPU and conducts heat from the CPU;

a heat sink, mounted perpendicularly on the pedestal, including an upper surface; and

an aerofoil deflector, mounted over the upper surface of the heat sink, the deflector including an aerofoil bottom surface spaced and facing the upper surface of the heat sink

wherein the upper surface of the heat sink is in the shape of a V, along a direction of the airflow flowing therethrough, the heat sink further includes a valley defined on the upper surface, the valley divides the upper surface into two inclined sub-surfaces;

wherein the deflector includes a camber defined on the bottom surface, the camber is correspondingly disposed over the valley.

10. The computer of claim 9 , wherein the heat sink further includes a leading end and a trailing end along a direction of the airflow flowing therethrough, the trailing end is higher than the leading end, and the leading end faces an airflow source.

11. The computer of claim 10 , wherein the heat sink includes a plurality of fins, a plurality of passages for airflow are formed between the plurality of fins.

12. The computer of claim 9 , wherein the deflector further includes a flat top surface opposites to the bottom surface, the top surface is oriented at a predetermined angle to the horizontal plane.

13. The computer of claim 9 , further comprising at least one heat pipe, wherein one end of the heat pipe is inserted through the heat sink, the other end is protruded above the heat sink and supports the deflector above the heat sink.

14. The computer of claim 13 , wherein the heat sink defines at least one hole near the bottom portion thereof, the deflector defines at least one connecting hole therethrough.

15. The computer of claim 14 , wherein The heat dissipating module of claim 8 , wherein the heat pipe is effectively endless, forming a closed ring in the shape of a rectangle, and includes a lower portion, two arms, and an upper portion, the lower portion is inside the hole of the heat sink, the two arms are located on the opposite ends of the heat sink, the upper portion protrudes above the upper surface of the heat sink and is inside the connecting hole of the deflector.
