The heat-conductive plate has a base plate, two support members extending upwards respectively from bilateral sides of the base plate for a predetermined breadth and height, a channel formed between the base plate and the two support members, two wing portions horizontally extending outwards respectively from the two support members, and a recession formed at a midsection of a bottom side of the base plate. The base plate is relatively thin and of low thermal resistance at the midsection thereof corresponding to the recession to attain effective and rapid heat conduction.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to heat-dissipative technology, and more particularly, to a heat-conductive structure.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A conventional heat-conductive plate is made of metal and includes a plurality of fins mounted thereon for enlarging the heat-dissipative area to attain preferable heat-dissipative effect.
- Referring to
FIG. 6 ,heat pipes 61 are inserted insidefins 63 to enhance the heat conduction among the fins to further attain preferable heat-dissipative effect. However, the above-mentioned structure merely rapidly transmits the heat between the fins but fails to effectively transmit the heat out of a heat-conductive plate 60. - There are two conventional solutions, as depicted below, to improve the drawbacks of the aforementioned conventional structure by mounting the heat pipes closely on the heat-conductive plate and under the fins.
- 1. The heat pipes are closely mounted on a top side of the heat-conductive plate and inserted through bottom sides of the fins.
- 2. The heat-conductive plate further includes a channel for receiving the heat pipes; meanwhile, thickness of the heat-conductive plate has to be increased, and the heat pipes have to be received in the channel with their cross-sections being oblate. However, the part corresponding to the inner bottom periphery of such heat-conductive plate cannot be too thin, and otherwise, the bottom side of the heat-conductive plate will be deformed to be uneven. However, if that part of the plate is too thick, the heat-conductive plate will have ineffective heat conduction.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved heat-conductive structure in which a heat-conductive plate is preferably strengthened and is preferably thin to attain preferable heat-conductive effect.
- The secondary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved heat-conductive structure that has better heat-dissipative effect than prior art.
- The foregoing objectives of the present invention are attained by the improved heat-conductive structure that includes a heat-conductive plate. The heat-conductive plate has a base plate, two support members extending upwards respectively from bilateral sides of the base plate for a predetermined breadth and height, a channel formed between the base plate and the two support members, two wing portions horizontally extending outwards respectively from the two support members, and a recession formed at a midsection of a bottom side of the base plate. The base plate is relatively thin and of low thermal resistance at the midsection thereof corresponding to the recession to cause effective and rapid heat conduction.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken from a line 2-2 indicated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a third preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 6 shows a prior art. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a heat-conductive structure 10 constructed according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a heat-conductive plate 11. - The heat-conductive plate 11 is composed of a
base plate 12, twosupport members 14, achannel 16, twowing portions 18, and arecession 19. The twosupport members 14 respectively extend upwards from bilateral sides of thebase plate 12 for a predetermined breadth and height. Thechannel 16 is formed between thebase plate 12 and the twosupport members 14. The twowing portions 18 horizontally extend outwards respectively from the twosupport members 14 and each are positioned higher than thebase plate 12. Therecession 19 is formed at a midsection of a bottom side of thebase plate 12 for contacting heating elements (not shown). - Hence, the
recession 19 enables the midsection of thebase plate 12 to be relatively thin, such that thebase plate 12 has preferably low thermal resistance to cause effective and rapid heat conduction. - Further, the bilateral sides of the
base plate 12 in proximity of therecession 19, i.e. the thicker sections than the midsection of thebase plate 12, together with the twowing portions 18 positioned at another bilateral sides of therecession 19 form a frame-like structure around therecession 19 to further support the midsection of thebase plate 12, such that the midsection of thebase plate 12 can be preferably thin to cause no deformation itself, even in the thickness of less than 1 mm, to have lower thermal resistance to further cause preferable heat-conductive effect. - Moreover, the two
support members 14 can transmit the heat from thebase plate 12 to the twowing portions 18 to be helpful to the heat-dissipation. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a heat-dissipative structure 30 constructed according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes the heat-conductive structure 10 of the first preferred embodiment, at least oneheat pipe 31, embodied as three heat pipes, and a plurality offins 33. - The three
heat pipes 31 are disposed in thechannel 16 of the heat-conductive plate 11 and mounted closely on a top side of thebase plate 12. - The
fins 33 are mounted upright on the heat-conductive structure 10 and theheat pipes 31 and over thechannel 16 and fixedly mounted on surfaces of theheat pipes 31 and top sides of thewing portions 18 at bottom sides thereof. - When the heat-
conductive structure 30 is in use, the heat-conductive structure 10 is relatively thin at the midsection of thebase plate 12 corresponding to the recession (not shown) to have preferably low thermal resistance to further rapidly transmit the heat generated by the heating elements (not shown) from the bottom side up to the top side of thebase plate 12 and then to rapidly transmit the heat through theheat pipes 31 to thefins 33, thereby causing better heat-dissipative effect than the prior art. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the heat-dissipative structure 40 constructed according to a third embodiment of the present invention is different from the second embodiment; the difference lies in that each of theheat pipes 41 further has an end extending outwards and upwards and through thefins 43. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , the heat-dissipative structure 50 constructed according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is different from the aforementioned preferred embodiments and further includes atop plate 55 disposed on thefins 53. Further, each of theheat pipes 51 extends outwards and upwards and through thetop plate 55. The heat can be transmitted from the heat-conductive structure 10 through theheat pipes 51 up to thetop plate 55; meanwhile, the temperatures of thetop plate 55 and the heat-conductive structure 10 are the same; and further can be dissipated outside through thefins 53. - In conclusion, the relatively thick parts of the
base plate 12, around therecession 19, together with thewing portions 18 form the frame-like support structure to allow the midsection of thebase plate 12, above therecession 19, to be thin without deformation, thereby reducing the thermal resistance and incurring preferably effective heat conduction.
