Abstract

A reinforced thermal module structure includes a heat pipe, a radiating base, and a radiating fin assembly. The heat pipe includes a conducting section and a heat-dissipating section. The conducting section is in contact with and connected to the radiating base, and the heat-dissipating section is extended through and connected to the radiating fin assembly. The radiating base has at least two support arms. Each of the support arms has an extended free end extended toward and pressed against one side of the radiating fin assembly. The support arms not only help in giving the entire thermal module an enhanced structural strength, but also in increasing the heat conducting area and heat dissipating efficiency of the thermal module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A reinforced thermal module structure, comprising a radiating fin assembly, a heat pipe, and a radiating base;
 the heat pipe including a conducting section and a heat-dissipating section, the heat-dissipating section being extended through and connected to the radiating fin assembly, and the conducting section being in contact with and connected to the radiating base; and   the radiating base having at least two support arms, and each of the support arms having an extended free end extended toward and pressed against the radiating fin assembly.   
   
   
       2 . The reinforced thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support arms are formed on one face of the radiating base facing toward the radiating fin assembly. 
   
   
       3 . The reinforced thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a heat sink disposed on the radiating base. 
   
   
       4 . The reinforced thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the radiating fin assembly has a bottom facing toward the radiating base, and the extended free ends of the support arms are extended toward and pressed against the bottom of the radiating fin assembly. 
   
   
       5 . The reinforced thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the radiating fin assembly has a bottom facing toward the radiating base, and the extended free ends of the support arms are extended toward and pressed against the bottom of the radiating fin assembly. 
   
   
       6 . The reinforced thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the radiating fin assembly has a bottom facing toward the radiating base, and the extended free ends of the support arms are extended toward and pressed against the bottom of the radiating fin assembly.
