Abstract
Abstract A bushing for combining a fan and heat sink avoids a rack usually required in a conventional combination of fan and heat sink for CPU cooling, and thereby minimizes assembly height and forms a super-thin heat dispersion mechanism. A honeycomb heat sink is designed to increase heat dispersion area for a better heat dispersion efficacy, and a fan body can be fixed at the heat sink directly in virtue of the bushing construction.

A bushing for combining a fan and heat sink to form a super-thin heat dispersion mechanism, comprising: a limit circular flange disposed on an outer rim of said bushing, the flange having a bottom edge and a top edge; the bottom edge of said circular flange forming a hollow cylinder and being fixed at a heat sink; the top edge of said bushing being connectable to a fan driving device; a bearing being disposed in an opening at a top end of said bushing, the bearing accommodating a fan pivot which passes therethrough and is fixable therein; a space being defined under the bottom end of said bushing; and a cover sealing the space under the bottom end of the bushing to form an oil chamber whereby at said hollow cylinder end, an assembled fan body is fixable directly on the heat sink.
