Heat-dissipating module

Abstract

A heat-dissipating module is composed of two base plates, a plurality of fins, at least one heat pipe, and a cooling fan. The two base plates are made of a heat-conductive material and each include at least one tunnel. The fins are made of a heat-conductive material and disposed between the two base plates. The heat pipe which is U-shaped includes two distal sections inserted into the tunnels and a body portion exposed outside the fins.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A heat-dissipating module comprising: 
 two base plates made of a heat-conductive material and having at least one tunnel therein;    a plurality of fins made of heat-conductive material and mounted between said two base plates;    at least one heat pipe having two distal sections inserted into said tunnels and a body portion exposed outside said fins; and    a cooling fan mounted outside said fins.    
     
     
         2 . The heat-dissipating module as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said heat pipe is three in numbers; each of said two base plates has three tunnels; each of said heat pipes is U-shaped to enable said two distal sections respectively to be inserted into said tunnels.  
     
     
         3 . The heat-dissipating module as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said cooling fan is positioned at a side of said fins; said body portion of said heat pipe is positioned at another side of said fins.  
     
     
         4 . The heat-dissipating module as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said cooling fan is positioned at a side of said fins; said body portion of said heat pipe is positioned at an opposite side of said fins.  
     
     
         5 . The heat-dissipating module as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said cooling fan and said body portion of said heat pipe are positioned at the same side of said fins.
