Abstract:
1. A thermal module comprising: a first mount body having multiple spaced engaging ions, the first mount body defining therein a first passage, said first mount body having mounting means to mount said first mount body directly on a heat generating unit and wherein said mounting means includes multiple rest sections arranged in spaced relation on an outer circumference of the first mount body, each of the rest sections having a through hole and being characterized by a corresponding inward projection projecting into said first passage in said first mount body; a second mount body disposed in the first passage of the first mount body, the second mount body having multiple circumferentially spaced recesses and multiple spaced complementary engaging sections, said engaging sections of the second mount body complementary to the engaging sections of the first mount body, each of the spaced complementary engaging sections of the second mount body having multiple engaging splits spaced at different heights, wherein the first and second mount bodies can be rotated relative to each other to engage or disengage the engaging sections of the first mount body with respect to the engaging splits of the second mount body and when the engaging sections and the engaging splits are disengaged it allows the first and second mount bodies to move freely up and down with respect to each other to change the engaging sections of the first mount body directly from the height of one of the engaging splits to that of another selected engaging split thereby enabling direct adjustment of the height of said second mount body relative to said first mount body, and wherein when the engaging sections of the first mount body are engaged with the engaging splits of the second mount body, the inward projections of the rest sections of the first mount body are seated within the spaced recesses of the second mount body; and a heat sink having: a plurality of radiating fins of a height to which the height of the space defined by the first mount body and the second mount body can be adjusted, so that the heat sink can be securely disposed between the second mount body and the heat generating unit, the height of the space defined by the first mount body and the second mount body being adjustable by means of rotation of the first mount body relative to the second mount body.
