Patent ID: 8381799

Claim:
A heat radiating unit configured as a heat sink, comprising: a contact section being arranged at a central portion of the heat sink for contacting with a heat source, and a plurality of extension plates extended outward from the contact section to divide the heat sink into a plurality of parts; a first heat-dissipating section being composed of multiple curved radiation fins outward extended from an outer periphery of the contact section; and a second heat-dissipating section being composed of multiple straight fins outward extended from the outer periphery of the contact section and outer surfaces of the extension plates; and the plurality of extension plates are generally the same height as the fins; wherein, heat generated by the heat source is conducted by the contact section to a main body of the heat sink, and the heat conducted to the heat sink is outward transferred to the first and second heat-dissipating sections and dissipates into surrounding air; and wherein the radiation fins of the first heat-dissipating section each have a forked free end that extends the full height of the fins to thereby form a plurality of extension ends that provide increased heat-radiating area for the heat sink.
