In order to prevent overheat of the electronic devices in the computer host, which may result in temporary or permanent failure of electronic devices, a sufficient heat-dissipation performance must be provided for the electronic devices in the computer.
- Generally speaking, a heat-dissipation device mainly includes a fan, cooling fins, and a heat pipe.

- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the heat-dissipation device further comprises a fan module having an air outlet corresponding to the metallic fins for providing a cooling airflow passing through the metallic fins.
- The present invention adopts the heat-dissipation device with dust-disposal function, and thus the dust on the metallic fins is shook off by vibration of the vibrator. Since the heat-dissipation device can automatically clean the dust on the metallic fins periodically or nonperiodically, the airflow generated by the fan can quickly remove the waste heat from the metallic fins, thereby significantly improving the heat-dissipation capability of the heat-dissipation device.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the heat-dissipation device with dust-disposal function according to an embodiment of the present invention.FIGS. 2-4 are schematic views of the present invention implemented by different vibrators.- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a schematic view of a heat-dissipation device with dust-disposal function according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The heat-dissipation device 100 mainly includes a heat-conductingmodule 110 and at least onevibrator 120, and the heat-conductingmodule 110 is used to dissipate heat of electronic devices with high heat-generating rate, so as to reduce the operating temperature of the electronic devices in a system. The heat-conductingmodule 110 is generally made of metallic material with high heat conductivity such as Cu and Al, and is disposed on the electronic devices and connected to an air-cooling heat-dissipation module or water-cooling heat-dissipation module in the system, so as to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation. - In this embodiment, the heat-conducting
module 110 includes a plurality ofmetallic fins 112 arranged in parallel, and themetallic fins 112 in regular arrangement are stacked with a gap existing therebetween, so as to increase the heat-dissipation area of the heat-conducting module. Themetallic fins 112 are, for example, disposed at anair outlet 132 of afan module 130, such that a cooling airflow generated by thefan module 130 can easily pass through the gaps between themetallic fins 112. In addition, the heat-conductingmodule 110 further includes aheat pipe 114 connected between themetallic fins 112 and a heat source (e.g., an integrated circuit chip)10. A capillary structure is provided on an inner pipe wall of theheat pipe 114, such that the cooling water flows in theheat pipe 114 by capillary phenomenon, and the waste heat generated by theheat source 10 at one end of theheat pipe 114 is conducted to eachmetallic fin 112 at the other end of theheat pipe 114, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature of theheat source 10. - It should be noted that the
vibrator 120 can generate a vibrating source for the heat-conductingmodule 110 to dispose dust, such that excessive dust will not be accumulated on the heat-dissipation surface of themetallic fins 112 and/or theheat pipe 114. As shown inFIG. 1 , thevibrator 120 can be directly disposed on the heat-conductingmodule 110, so as to generate a contact vibrating source. With the vibration of thevibrator 120, themetallic fins 112 suffer a shaking force to shake off dust on themetallic fins 112. In this embodiment, the dust tends to be accumulated between themetallic fins 112 and/or between themetallic fins 112 and theheat pipe 114 after a period of time, especially on the end portions of the fins near thefan module 130, and thus thevibrator 120 is preferably disposed near the end portions ofmetallic fins 112, so as to generate the maximum vibration effect. However, the drawings of this embodiment are not intended to limit the present invention, and other preferred arrangements obtained from design, experiment or simulation can be applied in the present invention. In addition, the number of thevibrator 120 can be one or more optionally. - Moreover, the
fan module 130 is disposed at one side of themetallic fins 112. With a centrifugal force generated by the rotation ofblades 134, the external cold air enters via an air inlet (not shown, in the same direction as the rotation axis of the blades134), and the air around theblades 134 flows along the rotation direction, and flows to themetallic fins 112 arranged in the same direction of the airflow via theair outlet 132. In this embodiment, the air inlet is vertical to the normal vector of theair outlet 132, but in another embodiment, the air inlet can be in parallel to the normal vector of theair outlet 132. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , thevibrator 120 has, for example, apiezoelectricity element 120a,which is configured to be disposed on the heat-conductingmodule 110 of theFIG. 1 . Thepiezoelectricity element 120ais deformed by the volume change under a piezoelectric effect, and thus when a high-frequency voltage signal is input from the exterior of thepiezoelectricity element 120a,a high-frequency mechanical vibration is generated, thereby generating a vibrating source. Furthermore, referring toFIG. 3 , thevibrator 120 has, for example, aneccentric motor 120b.Theeccentric motor 120bhas aneccentric element 122, for example, an eccentric cam or an eccentric shaft. When power energy is input from the exterior of theeccentric motor 120b,an eccentric vibrating source is generated by the high-speed rotation of theeccentric element 122, such that the dust accumulated on themetallic fins 112 cannot be attached thereon and is shook off. - In addition to the implementation of the piezoelectricity element and eccentric motor to generate contact vibrating source, the
vibrator 120 can be further disposed near the heat-conductingmodule 110 in a non-contact manner to generate a non-contact vibrating source. Referring toFIG. 4 , the vibrator is, for example, anultrasonic generator 120c,and the generated ultrasonic wave is transmitted to the heat-conductingmodule 110 through the air. With the vibration of the air, the dust cannot be attached on the surface of themetallic fins 112, thus achieving the dust-disposal efficiency. The frequency of the ultrasonic vibrating source is beyond the frequency that can be received by human ear, so no noise is sensed by the human. - Moreover, referring to
FIG. 1 , thevibrator 120 operated together with acontroller 140 can provide functions such as automatic timing, turning on, and turning off functions, such that thevibrator 120 is set to automatically turn on when the heat-dissipation system or the electronic device is turned on, and to automatically turn off when the heat-dissipation system or the electronic device is turned off. Definitely, in the present invention, a hot key or a built-in dust-disposal managing unit may be used to inform the user, such that the user may choose the opportunity to dispose dust. In addition, thevibrator 120 together with a timer (not shown) can calculate the time at which thevibrator 120 provides the vibrating source, such that thecontroller 140 can set the working time of dust-disposal. - In view of the above, the present invention provides a heat-dissipation device with dust-disposal function after research and development, and simulation, which can reduce the dust attached on the heat-conducting module and provides a perfect dust-disposal efficiency for metallic fins (cooling fins) arranged in parallel, so as to prevent excessive dust from being accumulated on the metallic fins near the air outlet of the fan module and thus influencing the heat-dissipation performance of the metallic fins. Meanwhile, the cooling airflow generated by the fan module can easily take away the waste heat on the metallic fins, and the heat-dissipation capability of the heat-dissipation device is improved accordingly.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
