Description

电子装置及其散热器模组
技术领域
本发明涉及一种电子装置及其散热器模组。
背景技术
在服务器系统中,双CPU或是多CPU架构非常常见,很多时候CPU会采用前后排列的方式,前部CPU因靠近风扇,所以风流流经前部CPU的散热器时流速较快、散热效果较好,而后部CPU因前部CPU的散热器的阻挡,风流流速变低,散热效果较差,不利于后部CPU散热。
发明内容
鉴于以上内容,有必要提供一种电子装置及其散热器模组,可以更加方便远离风扇一侧的电子元件散热。
一种散热器模组,包括一底座及若干鳍片,底座的上表面设置若干平行的固持部,每一固持部包括一长形的截面概呈半圆形的卡槽,每一鳍片包括一主体板及一形成于主体板下侧的截面概呈圆形的枢接部,每一鳍片的枢接部枢转安装于底座的对应的卡槽内。
一种电子装置,包括一机箱、一设于机箱内的电路板、一设于电路板上的散热器模组及一设于机箱内的正对散热器模组的风扇,所述散热器模组包括一底座及若干鳍片,底座的上表面设置若干平行的固持部,每一固持部包括一长形的截面概呈半圆形的卡槽,每一鳍片包括一主体板及一形成于主体板下侧的截面概呈圆形的枢接部,每一鳍片的枢接部枢转安装于底座的对应的卡槽内。
相较现有技术,本发明电子装置及其散热器模组的鳍片可枢转地设置于底座上,可枢转鳍片的方向以利风流通过对其它电子元件进行散热。

如下具体实施方式将结合上述附图进一步说明本发明。
具体实施方式
请参阅图1,本发明电子装置包括一机箱10、一设于机箱10内的电路板20、一散热器模组30、一散热器40及一风扇50。本实施方式中,散热器模组30用于对安装于电路板20上的一第一CPU(图未示)进行散热,散热器40用于对安装于电路板20上的一第二CPU(图未示)进行散热。风扇50固设于机箱10内并正对散热器模组30。散热器模组30位于风扇50与散热器40之间。
请参阅图2及图3,散热器模组30包括一概呈方形的底座31、若干鳍片33及若干第一固定架35。底座31的四角凸设若干固定块311用于将该散热器模组30固定于电路板20上。底座31的沿风流方向的两相对侧边各开设若干固定孔313。底座31的上表面设置若干平行的固持部315,每一固持部315包括一长形的截面概呈半圆形的卡槽3151。每一鳍片33包括一主体板331及一形成于主体板331下侧的截面概呈圆形的枢接部333。
第一固定架35包括一水平的定位杆351及自定位杆351向下延伸形成的两间隔的竖直的支撑杆353。每一定位杆351的一侧间隔凸设若干定位部3511,每一定位部3511包括与支撑杆353平行的竖直的两凸片3513。每一支撑杆353的远离定位杆351的一端设有一固定孔3531。
请一并参阅图4及图5,每一鳍片33的枢接部333枢转收容于底座31的对应的卡槽3151内。第一固定架35的支撑杆353利用其固定孔3531固定于底座31的侧边的固定孔313内。每一鳍片33的侧缘卡置于对应的第一固定架35的一定位部3511的两凸片3513之间。此时,鳍片33均垂直于底座31。
请一并参阅图6,第二固定架37包括一水平的定位杆371及自定位杆371向下延伸形成的两间隔的竖直的支撑杆373。每一定位杆371的一侧间隔凸设若干定位部3711,每一定位部3711包括与支撑杆373呈一定夹角倾斜的平行的两凸片3713。每一支撑杆373的远离定位杆371的一端设有一固定孔3731。
图7所示为本发明散热器模组30的另一使用状态,部分鳍片33向一侧倾斜一定的角度。第二固定架37的支撑杆373利用其固定孔3731固定于底座31的侧边的固定孔313内。每一鳍片33的侧缘卡置于第二固定架37的一定位部3711的两凸片3713之间,进而在鳍片33的中部形成一风道。如图1所示,风扇50的风流即可经过散热器模组30的鳍片33中间形成的风道流向散热器40,更加有利于散热器40的散热。
