The subject matter herein generally relates to cooling fins and a cooling device with the cooling fins.
A cooling device is generally used in an electronic device to cool the electronic device. Generally, the cooling device includes a plurality of cooling fins and a heat pipe inserting through the cooling fins.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure describes a foot stool assembly including a foot stool, a foot pad, a grasping member, and a fastener. The foot pad includes a mounting plate. The fastener secures the mounting plate and the grasping member to the foot stool. The mounting plate is located between the foot stool and the grasping member, preventing the foot pad from coming off the foot stool.
The cooler 10 includes a base 11, a housing 13, a plurality of cooling fins 15, a plurality of heat pipes 19. The base 11 defines a plurality of through holes 113 for the heat pipes 19 inserting through. A bottom surface of the base 11 can be contacted to a heating component (not shown).
The housing 13 includes a bottom plate 131 and a body 130 can be secured to the bottom plate 131. The bottom plate 131 includes a mounting piece 1311 and two holding pieces 1313. The mounting piece 1311 can be secured to the base 11. Each holding piece 1313 is connected to the mounting piece 1311 via a connecting piece 1315. In at least one embodiment, the holding pieces 1313 are coplanar with each other, and each holding piece 1313 is substantially parallel to the mounting piece 1311. The holding pieces 1313 are configured to hold the cooling fins 15. The body 130 includes a rear plate 133 and two side plates 135 perpendicularly extending from the rear plate 133. The rear plate 133 defines an air inlet 1331. Each holding piece 1313 can be secured to the side plate 135 via a flange 1317.
In use, heat generated from the heating component is transferred to the heat pipe 19 via the base 11. Because the heat is transferred to the cooling fins 15 through the heat pipe 19, the heat in the hole area 150 is greater than other areas of the cooling fins 15. The fan 20 is operated to guide air to flow in the cooling fins 15 in a direction A. The guiding portions 1531 guides the air to flow towards the hole area 150 in a direction B, to increase air flow in the hole area 150. In at least one embodiment, the direction A is substantially parallel to the side plate 135, and an acute angle is defined between the direction B and the direction A.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a cooling device and cooling fin. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
