Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a heat sink, comprising steps: providing a base with a plurality of parallel and spaced apart protrusions formed on a top surface thereon, wherein the plurality of protrusions extend upwardly from the top surface and longitudinally along a widthwise direction of the base defining a slot with a bottom surface between each two adjacent protrusions; providing a plurality of fins and bending a distal end of each fin to form a connecting end for each of the plurality of fins; fitting each fin in a slot between two adjacent protrusions correspondingly and attaching the connecting end of each fin to the base; and deforming each of the plurality of protrusions to downwardly press the connecting ends of two adjacent fins; wherein the step of bending the distal end of each fin to form a connecting end comprises steps: bending a lower part of each fin towards a lateral side of the fin, to form a first bend section; and bending a distal end of the first bend section towards an opposite lateral side of the fin, to form a second bend section; wherein each protrusion is punched downwardly to form a block pressing the connecting ends of two adjacent fins correspondingly; wherein an upper surface of the block is step-like; and wherein the step-like block comprises a first portion having an upper surface at a lower elevation and a second portion having an upper surface at a higher elevation with respect and adjacent to the first portion, the first portion presses the second bend section of one of the connecting ends downward against a bottom surface of a corresponding slot, and the second portion presses the first bend section of an adjacent one of the connecting ends downward against a bottom surface of an adjacent corresponding slot.
