This support structure can easily cause the airway to collapse when the temperature spreader is bent, which in turn causes the temperature spreader to be damaged and unable to work normally. In addition, after the temperature spreader is bent, the capillary structure inside it may not be in close contact with the inner wall of the temperature spreader, which will cause the thermal conductivity of the temperature spreader to decrease.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it shows the specific structure of the preferred embodiment of the utility model, which is a bent type temperature equalizing plate.

[0030] Among them, a long second connecting column 24 is set at the bending position of the temperature equalizing plate to support the vacuum chamber, which can effectively avoid the collapse of the airway at the bending position. At the same time, the copper powder ring 27 on the first connecting column 22 can press the metal mesh capillary structure 20 against the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, and at the same time, a welding seam 25 runs through the side of the second avoidance hole 23, which is welded to the bottom wall and the top wall of the vacuum chamber, so that the metal mesh capillary structure 20 at the bending position can be fully in contact with the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, and its thermal conductivity efficiency is very high.

[0031] The present application provides a bending type temperature equalizing plate, comprising a bottom cover 10 and a top cover 30; a groove 11 is provided on the bottom cover 10, the edges of the bottom cover 10 and the top cover 30 are welded together, a part of the temperature equalizing plate is bent to form a bending portion 13, and a vacuum cavity is formed at the corresponding position of the groove 11. The vacuum cavity is filled with a heat-conducting medium, and the heat-conducting medium can be a heat-conducting medium in the form of water, ethanol, acetone, etc. After the heat absorption area of ​​the bottom cover 10 is heated, the cooling medium will quickly vaporize, and then dissipate heat and cool to liquefy in the top cover 30, and then the liquefied cooling medium returns to the heat absorption area, and the cycle continues.

[0032] The bottom wall and top wall of the vacuum chamber are provided with a metal mesh capillary structure 20; the metal mesh capillary structure 20 is penetrated by a first avoidance hole 21 and a second long avoidance hole 23; the first connecting column 22 passes through the first avoidance hole 21 and is welded to the bottom wall and top wall of the vacuum chamber; the copper powder ring 27 is sleeved on the first connecting column 22 and presses the metal mesh capillary structure 20; the second avoidance hole 23 corresponds to the position of the bending part 13; the second long connecting column 24 passes through the second avoidance hole 23 and is welded to the bottom wall and top wall of the vacuum chamber. During assembly, a piece of metal mesh capillary structure 20 is provided on the bottom wall and the top wall respectively. The metal mesh capillary structure 20 can be welded to the bottom wall and the top wall of the vacuum chamber by local spot welding. The first connecting column 22 and the second connecting column 24 can be welded by any of reflow soldering, resistance welding, laser welding, and ultrasonic welding. The first connecting column 22 and the second connecting column 24 can effectively support the vacuum chamber. In particular, the long strip-shaped second connecting column 24 can effectively prevent the airway from collapsing at the bend of the temperature equalizing plate. The copper powder ring 27 set on the first connecting column 22 can press the metal mesh capillary structure 20 on the upper side against the top cover 30, and the copper powder ring 27 can press the metal mesh capillary structure 20 on the upper side against the bottom cover 10, so that the metal mesh capillary structure 20 can be firmly fixed, and the metal mesh capillary structure 20 can be fully in contact with the upper and lower inner walls of the vacuum chamber, which has a better heat conduction effect. At the same time, the copper powder ring 27 is a capillary structure, which helps to return the low-temperature cooling medium after the top cover 30 is cooled to the heat source, has a good control effect on heat flow, and is conducive to improving the thermal conductivity. Preferably, the first connecting column 22 and the second connecting column 24 are made of the same material as the top cover 30, the bottom cover 10, and the metal mesh capillary structure 20, such as copper, stainless steel, etc.

[0033] A weld 25 is passed through the side of the second avoidance hole 23, and the bottom wall and the top wall of the vacuum chamber corresponding to each of the welds 25 are welded together. The weld 25 can be welded to the bottom wall and the top wall of the vacuum chamber by laser welding or resistance welding, so that the metal mesh capillary structure 20 at the bending position can be fully close to the bottom wall and the top wall of the vacuum chamber, so that the capillary force at the bending position can be guaranteed, which guarantees the quality of heat conduction.

[0034] Preferably, the corners of the bottom cover 10 are provided with positioning posts 26; the corners of the top cover 30 are provided with positioning openings 31, and the positioning posts 26 are blocked in the positioning openings 31. When the bottom cover 10 and the top cover 30 are welded, the positioning posts 26 are blocked in the positioning openings 31, so that the position between the bottom cover 10 and the top cover 30 is fixed, thus ensuring the welding accuracy.

[0035] Preferably, the bottom cover 10 is extended with a liquid injection groove 13, and the top cover 30 is extended with a sealing plate 32, and the sealing plate 32 is welded or crimped together with the liquid injection groove 13. After the welding of the temperature-averaging plate is completed, the cooling medium is injected into the vacuum chamber from the liquid injection groove 13, and then the sealing plate 32 and the liquid injection groove 13 are welded or crimped to seal, so that the vacuum chamber can be sealed. After the vacuum chamber is sealed, the redundant sealing plate 32 and the liquid injection groove 13 can be cut off, so that a tailless temperature-averaging plate can be made, which has better integrity and saves more installation space.

[0036] Preferably, the metal mesh capillary structure 20 is a stainless steel mesh or a copper mesh. Of course, the metal mesh capillary structure 20 can also be made of other materials, and the metal mesh capillary structure 20 is not limited to two layers, but can also be multiple layers.

[0037] Preferably, the spacing between the upper and lower layers of the metal mesh capillary structure 20 is between 2-5 mm. A wavy metal spring is sandwiched between the upper and lower layers of the metal mesh capillary structure 20, which has a certain elasticity and a small width. The width of the metal spring is between 1-2 mm, and the metal spring can provide a certain support force to the upper and lower layers of the metal mesh capillary structure 20, further ensuring its close fit.

[0038] Preferably, a graphene coating is provided on the outer side of the top cover 30. Graphene is a single-layer film composed of carbon atoms, which has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. Graphene coating is a coating made by mixing graphene with other materials, which has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Therefore, graphene coating can be used as a heat dissipation coating. This design is conducive to improving the heat dissipation performance of the top cover 30 and improving its thermal conductivity. Therefore, when this temperature distribution plate coated with graphene coating is combined with a radiator, it has a better heat dissipation effect.

[0039] Preferably, the length of the weld 25 is not less than the length of the second avoidance hole 23, and the weld 25 is parallel to the second avoidance hole 23. This design is conducive to ensuring the consistency of the force direction when the temperature equalizing plate is bent, and can effectively prevent internal deformation caused by bending. At the same time, the longer the weld 25 is, the better the fixing effect of the metal mesh capillary structure 20 at the bending position will be.

[0040] Preferably, the inner walls of the bottom cover 10 and the top cover 30 facing the first avoidance hole 21 are punched to form concave holes, and the two ends of the first connecting column 22 are inserted into the concave holes. The concave holes can control the position of the first connecting column 22 during welding, which can effectively prevent the first connecting column 22 from being offset, thereby ensuring the welding quality.

[0041] In summary, the design focus of the utility model is that the bending portion 13 of the temperature equalizing plate is supported by a second long strip-shaped connecting column 24, which can effectively prevent the airway from collapsing when bending. At the same time, the copper powder ring 27 on the first connecting column 22 presses the metal mesh capillary structure 20 tightly against the inner wall of the vacuum chamber. The weld 25 running through the side of the second avoidance hole 23 is welded to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, so that the entire metal mesh capillary structure 20 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, and its thermal conductivity is better.
