Abstract

The present invention relates to a rapidly removable thermal connector including a retainer and a clamper. The retainer has a first wedge connected with a convexity of a first two-convexity tenon and a second wedge. At the outer end of the first wedge has a mortise to allocate a convexity of the first two-convexity tenon; at the inner end of the second wedge has a mortise to allocate a convexity of a second two-convexity tenon. The clamper is used to hold the retainer. At the interior of the outer end of the clamper has a movable unit which is connected to the clamper with a bolt at one end and has a vertical concavity at the other end to match the first convexity of the first two-convexity tenon. At the interior of the inner end of the clamper has a mortise which allocates the fourth convexity of the second two-convexity tenon. The third convexity of the second two-convexity tenon is connected to a mortise at the inner end of the second wedge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A thermal connector apparatus, comprising:
a retainer, comprising:
a first wedge unit having a first mortise;
a second wedge unit, coupled to said first wedge unit, having a second mortise; and

a clamper for clamping said retainer, comprising:
a movable unit at a first end of said clamper, said movable unit having a third mortise;
a first dual-convex tenon with a first convexity and a second convexity opposite said first convexity, wherein said first convexity and said second convexity are coupled to said third mortise and said first mortise, respectively;
a second dual-convex tenon with a third convexity and a fourth convexity opposite said third convexity, wherein said third convexity is coupled to said second mortise; and
a fourth mortise at a second end of said clamper, opposite said first end, wherein said fourth mortise is coupled to said fourth convexity.

2. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said clamper comprises a screw hole to accommodate a screw rod therein, said movable unit further having a through hole to accommodate a fixer therein.

3. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 2 , said screw rod having a rotatable stick for installing and de-installing.

4. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first wedge unit comprises a first recess;
said second wedge unit comprises a second recess;
said clamper comprises at least two third recesses, which correspond to said first and second recesses respectively; and
wherein a magnetically permeable plate is embedded into said first and second recesses, a magnetic plate being embedded into said at least two third recesses.

5. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first and second dual-convex tenons and said first, second, third and fourth mortises are shaped as a dovetail.

6. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , said retainer further comprising:
a third wedge unit having a fourth recess to receive a magnetically permeable plate, and said clamper having a fifth recess to receive a magnetic plate for matching with said third wedge unit.

7. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said clamper comprises a handle for moving said movable unit.

8. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first wedge unit has a first recess, said second wedge unit has a second recess, and wherein a magnetically permeable plate is embedded into said first and second recesses.

9. The thermal connector apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said clamper comprises a screw hole to accommodate a screw rod, said clamper further having a handle; and said movable unit further having a through hole to accommodate a fixer therein.
