Abstract

A thermal module structure includes a main body and at least one heat pipe. The main body has a base section and an extension section. Multiple radiating fins extend from a circumference of the extension section. The heat pipe is assembled with the main body. The heat pipe has a heat absorption end and a heat dissipation end. The thermal module structure has lower thermal resistance so that the heat dissipation effect of the thermal module structure is greatly enhanced. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of the thermal module structure is lowered and the manufacturing time of the thermal module structure is shortened.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A thermal module structure comprising:
 a main body having a base section and an extension section extending from a middle portion of one side of the base section, multiple radiating fins extending from a circumference of the extension section; and   at least one heat pipe assembled with the main body, the heat pipe having a heat absorption end and a heat dissipation end, the heat absorption end being assembled with the other side of the base section opposite to the extension section, the heat dissipation end being attached to one side of the extension section.   
     
     
         2 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein multiple extension limbs further outward extend from the circumference of the extension section, each extension limb having a free end formed with at least one locating hole. 
     
     
         3 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the other side of the base section has at least one groove formed in a position where the heat pipe is positioned, the heat absorption end of the heat pipe being assembled in the groove. 
     
     
         4 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main body is integrally formed by means of mechanical processing. 
     
     
         5 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the mechanical processing is aluminum extrusion. 
     
     
         6 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main body has a first side, a fan being disposed on the first side of the main body. 
     
     
         7 . The thermal module structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main body has a second side on which the heat dissipation end of the heat pipe is positioned, a fan being disposed on the second side of the main body.
