Fixing mount and thermal module thereof

Abstract

A fixing mount and a thermal module thereof are disclosed. The fixing mount is used to connect with a heat sink. The fixing mount includes a main body having a rest section, multiple extension sections extending from a periphery of the rest section and at least one support section formed at one end of each extension section distal from the rest section. Each support section has a latch section disposed at one end of the support section distal from the extension section. By means of the fixing mount, the heat sink can be fixedly locked on a chassis board without using any screw. Therefore, the assembling time is shortened and the assembling process is simplified to lower the manufacturing cost.

1 . A fixing mount for connecting with a heat sink, comprising a main body, the main body having a rest section, multiple extension sections extending from a periphery of the rest section and at least one support section formed at one end of each extension section distal from the rest section, each support section having a latch section disposed at one end of the support section distal from the extension section. 
     
     
         2 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support section has at least one support arm, the extension section being connected with one end of the support arm, the latch section being formed at the other end of the support arm. 
     
     
         3 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the latch section has at least one projection formed at the other end of the support arm for insert-connecting with a corresponding chassis board. 
     
     
         4 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein two support arms are respectively connected to two sides of each extension section, the two support arms defining therebetween a resilient space. 
     
     
         5 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rest section has an installation hole formed at a center of the rest section. 
     
     
         6 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the projection has the form of a reverse hook. 
     
     
         7 . The fixing mount as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rest section, the extension sections and the support sections are integrally formed. 
     
     
         8 . A thermal module comprising:
 a fixing mount having a main body, the main body including a rest section, multiple extension sections extending from opposite sides of the rest section and multiple support sections, one end of each support section being perpendicularly connected to one end of each extension section, the other end of the support section being formed with a latch section, the rest section, the extension sections and the support sections being integrally connected with each other;   a heat sink disposed on the rest section, the heat sink having a hole and multiple radiating fins; and   a heat conduction member fitted through the main body and the heat sink for fixing the main body and the heat sink.   
     
     
         9 . The thermal module as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the rest section has an installation hole formed at a center of the rest section in communication with the hole of the heat sink. 
     
     
         10 . The thermal module as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a first end of the heat conduction member is flush with an end face of the heat sink and a second end of the heat conduction member protrudes from a back face of the rest section distal from the heat sink for tightly contacting with and attaching to a corresponding heat-generating component.
