Patent ID: 8499451

Claim:
A method for assembling a heat sink, comprising steps of: a) providing an annular thermo-conductive base having a plurality of troughs thereon and guiding grooves separately disposed between every two adjacent troughs; b) providing a fin set having a plurality of fins, wherein the fins are separately inserted into the troughs to form a heat sink; c) providing a mold having an inner space for accommodating the heat sink and edges respectively corresponding to the guiding grooves; and d) performing a tight connection process, wherein the heat sink is placed in the inner space of the mold, a tool driven by a punch press pushes the heat sink passing through the inner space along a longitudinal direction and the edges are radially engaged with the guiding grooves, so that the guiding grooves are deformed by the edges to make the troughs shrink inwardly for firmly pinching the fins, respectively.
