Abstract

A heat sink includes a base, a heat sink base, a bearing, a rotor, and a stator. The base includes a heat conduction plate and a support pillar disposed on the heat conduction plate. The heat sink base includes a support plate and heat sink fins disposed on the support plate. The support plate is correspondingly disposed over the heat conduction plate, and a gap is formed between the support plate and the heat conduction plate. A bearing is disposed between the support pillar and the heat sink base. A rotor is disposed on the heat sink base, the stator is disposed corresponding to the rotor and fixed on the base. The heat sink base rotates with respect to the support pillar by an electromagnetic effect between the rotor and the stator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A heat sink having an integrated heat sink fin and fan blade, comprising:
 a base including a heat conduction plate and a support pillar disposed on the heat conduction plate;   a heat sink base including a support plate and a plurality of heat sink fins disposed on the support plate, the support plate being correspondingly disposed over the heat conduction plate, a gap being formed between the support plate and the heat conduction plate;   a bearing disposed between the support pillar and the heat sink base;   a rotor disposed on the heat sink base; and   a stator disposed corresponding to the rotor and fixed on the base, an air gap being formed between the rotor and the stator, wherein the heat sink base is rotatable with respect to the support pillar by an electromagnetic effect between the rotor and the stator.   
     
     
         2 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the support pillar is integrally formed with the heat conduction plate and extends from a center of the heat conduction plate. 
     
     
         3 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the heat conduction plate includes at least one annular trench on one side of the heat conduction plate facing the support plate, and the support plate includes an annular plate, disposed corresponding to the annular trench, on one side of the support plate facing the heat conduction plate. 
     
     
         4 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the heat sink fins are circularly disposed around the support pillar, the heat sink fins form an accommodation room, the rotor is disposed in the accommodation room, and the stator is disposed corresponding to the rotor and fixed on the support pillar. 
     
     
         5 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 4 , wherein the heat sink base extends from the heat conduction plate to form a hollow tube in the accommodation room, and the bearing is closely disposed between an inner wall surface of the hollow tube and an outer circumferential surface of the support pillar. 
     
     
         6 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 4 , wherein the rotor is a permanent magnetic set, the stator is a coil set, the rotor disposed in the accommodation room is at one side thereof away from the support plate, and the stator is fixed at one side of the support pillar away from the heat conduction plate. 
     
     
         7 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of rollers rollably disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, the inner ring is fixed on the support pillar of the base, the outer ring is fixed on the heat sink base, and the inner ring is rotatable with respect to the outer ring to enable the heat sink base to be rotatable on the base. 
     
     
         8 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the heat sink fins are spaced from one another and arranged in a whirlpool shape. 
     
     
         9 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the base is a vapor chamber, and the vapor chamber includes a planar plate which forms the heat conduction plate and a straight tube which forms the support pillar. 
     
     
         10 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the heat sink base further includes a cap engaged with the support pillar, and the stator is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the cap. 
     
     
         11 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 10 , wherein the cap encloses the bearing. 
     
     
         12 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 1 , wherein the rotor is disposed on one side of the support plate facing the heat conduction plate, and the stator is disposed corresponding to the rotor and fixed on one side of the heat conduction plate facing the support plate. 
     
     
         13 . The heat sink having the integrated heat sink fin and fan blade of  claim 12 , wherein the support plate is disposed over the support pillar and covers the same.
