Abstract
A heat pipe fixing structure includes a heat pipe, a carrier body and a first fixing member. The heat pipe has a main body having a first side and a second side. The carrier body has a channel having an open side and a closed side. The heat pipe is disposed in the channel with the first and second sides respectively corresponding to the open side and the closed side. The first fixing member is disposed on upper side of the heat pipe and upper side of the carrier body. A free end of the first fixing member is in corresponding contact with the first side of the heat pipe to press and abut against or engage with the heat pipe. The heat pipe fixing structure serves to firmly fix the heat pipe to eliminate the shortcomings existing in the conventional welding process for fixing the heat pipe.
