Thermal hinge for lid cooling

摘要

A thermal hinge couples a computing platform to a lid. The thermal hinge includes a hinge block that has a groove passing through the hinge block and a hinge pillar to couple to the lid. The hinge pillar is inserted in a first end of the groove passing through the hinge block. The thermal hinge also includes a thermally conductive conduit inserted in a second end of the groove passing through the hinge block. The thermally conductive conduit couples with a heat spreader in the lid in order to transfer thermal energy from the hinge block to the heat spreader.
