Abstract:
1. A heat dissipation device for being installed to and dissipating heat from an electronic device comprising: a first heat dissipation unit comprising a base plate and a fin plate engaged with the base plate; a second heat dissipation unit comprising a base plate and a fin plate engaged with the base plate; a plurality of screws extending through the fin plates and being screwed into the base plates respectively; and at least one heat pipe comprising an evaporating segment received between the base plate and the fin plate of the first heat dissipation unit, and a condensing segment received between the base plate and the fin plate of the second heat dissipation unit, thereby thermally and mechanically connecting the first and second heat dissipation units; wherein the evaporating segment and the condensing segment of the at least one heat pipe are movably received in the first heat dissipation unit and the second heat dissipation unit respectively before the heat dissipation device is installed to the electronic device, and are firmly fixed in the first heat dissipation unit and the second heat dissipation unit respectively after the heat dissipation device is installed to the electronic device to dissipate heat generated therefrom.
