Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of heat sinks, in particular to a fin heat sink with an improved structure and a processing method thereof. The fin heat sink with the improved structure comprises a pedestal and a plurality of cooling fins, wherein roots of the cooling fins are connected with the pedestal and provided with clamping grooves the bottoms of which are opened; clamping pieces corresponding to the clamping grooves are extended out of the pedestal; the cooling fins are clamped and connected with the clamping pieces through the clamping grooves; and the plurality of the cooling fins are subjected to layered arrangement to form a cooling fin group. The clamping grooves at the roots of the cooling fins are easy to mold through a die; the clamping pieces extended out of the pedestal are simple and convenient to process; the clamping grooves are connected with the clamping pieces by means of clamping, so the connection between the clamping grooves and the clamping pieces is reliable; and the clamping process can be completed through a stamping die. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the fin heat sink with the improved structure and the processing method thereof, which are provided by the invention, overcome the technical prejudice and can greatly reduce the processes, reduce the production cost and improve the production efficiency.
