Thermal module

Abstract

A thermal module includes a heat-absorbing component, a heat-dissipating component, a heat pipe, and a movable handle. The heat pipe connects the heat-absorbing component and the heat-dissipating component. The movable handle connects the heat-absorbing component and the heat-dissipating component and is located on the heat pipe. The movable handle includes two fixed seats and a handle body. The fixed seats are respectively fixed on the heat-absorbing component and the heat-dissipating component. Two ends of the handle body are respectively pivoted to the fixed seats to rotate between a flat position and an upright position. The handle body is parallel to the heat pipe when in the flat position. The handle body is perpendicular to the heat pipe when in the upright position. The movable handle prevents the heat pipe from bending excessively and deforming due to direct force through connecting to the heat-absorbing component and the heat-dissipating component.
