Patent ID: 7762316

Claim:
A heat-dissipating device, comprising: a first housing including a first planar plate that has top and bottom surfaces, said top surface of said first planar plate being formed with a retaining groove, and a first cap-like cover that is secured to said bottom surface of said first planar plate, that cooperates with said first planar plate to define an inner space therebetween, and that has an inlet and an outlet; a partitioning member disposed in said inner space so as to divide said inner space into first and second compartments, said second compartment being connected to and spatially communicated with said outlet; a first finned structure including a plurality of partitioning plates disposed in said first compartment so as to divide said first compartment into a plurality of partitioned sections that are connected to form a continuous meandering fluid path for permitting fluid communication between said first and second compartments, said meandering fluid path having a first end connected to and spatially communicated with said inlet, and a second end connected to and spatially communicated with said second compartment, and a plurality of heat-dissipating fins disposed in each of said partitioned sections; and a high thermal-conductivity strip secured in said retaining groove in said top surface of said first planar plate and having a thermal conductivity higher than that of said first planar plate.
