[0032] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the utility model, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.

[0033] Example:

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a plurality of Tesla valve slots 5 are provided at the center of the first plate body 1, and the plurality of Tesla valve slots 5 are evenly distributed at the center of the first plate body 1. Liquid is arranged in the Tesla valve slot 5, and the liquid may be ether or water, for making the liquid flow in one direction;

[0035] A plurality of micro grooves 6 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of each Tesla valve slot 5, so that the liquid flowing unidirectionally to the other side is vaporized and returned to the initial end when heated, which is used for efficient heat dissipation.

[0036] At least two arc-shaped grooves 9 are formed on the front and rear sides of the top and bottom of the first plate body 1 .

[0037] The first arc-shaped convex plate 7 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the upper baffle 2. The length of the first arc-shaped convex plate 7 is the same as the length of the arc-shaped groove 9, and it is completely fitted in the arc-shaped groove 9. The first arc-shaped convex plate 7 is relatively placed in the center of the upper baffle 2, that is, the first arc-shaped convex plate 7 is at the same distance from both ends of the upper baffle 2. The upper baffle 2 is placed on the top of the first plate body 1.

[0038] The second arc-shaped convex plate 8 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the top of the lower baffle 4. The length of the second arc-shaped convex plate 8 is the same as the length of the arc-shaped groove 9, and it is completely fitted in the arc-shaped groove 9. The second arc-shaped convex plate 8 is relatively arranged at the center of the upper baffle 2, that is, the second arc-shaped convex plate 8 is at the same distance from both ends of the upper baffle 2. The lower baffle 4 is placed at the bottom of the first plate body 1.

[0039] This ensures that the liquid in the Tesla valve slot 5 will not leak from the top of the upper baffle plate 2 or the lower baffle plate 4.

[0040] The length of the upper baffle plate 2 and the lower baffle plate 4 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the first plate body 1 and the two side baffle plates 3 .

[0041] Side baffles 3 are welded to both sides of the upper baffle 2 and the lower baffle 4 , and two outer sides of the two side baffles 3 are parallel to two outer sides of the upper baffle 2 and the lower baffle 4 , respectively.

[0042] The inner sides of the two side baffles 3 are welded to the outer side of the first plate body 1, so that the device can be formed into an integrated device for easy manufacture.

[0043] The first plate body 1 , the side baffle plate 3 , the upper baffle plate 2 , and the lower baffle plate 4 are all made of heat-conducting metal material.

[0044] In practice, a heat pipe is a highly efficient heat transfer device that works by transferring heat through the phase change of the internal liquid. In the wick structure of the heat pipe, the liquid is absorbed and stored in the wick. When one end of the heat pipe is heated, the liquid evaporates in the wick and is then transferred to the other end, where it condenses into liquid and releases the heat.

[0045] However, the existing technology of heat pipe liquid wick structure has some disadvantages. For example, the transmission speed of liquid in the liquid wick is slow, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe. In addition, the liquid is easily affected by the liquid wick structure during transmission, resulting in unstable flow of the liquid, further reducing the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe.

[0046] Therefore, we invented a directional flow heat pipe with a Tesla valve structure and a micro-groove wick structure to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe wick structure. The ultra-fast Tesla valve is a one-way flow valve that controls the direction of liquid flow through a mechanical structure, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe. The micro-groove increases the surface area of ​​the liquid by forming tiny grooves on the surface of the wick, thereby accelerating the evaporation and condensation of the liquid and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe.

[0047] In order to make the device easier to produce, the side baffle 3 is designed to be welded with the upper baffle 2, the lower baffle 4, and the first plate body 1, so as to facilitate mass production of the device.

[0048] In order to prevent the device from leaking liquid, a sealing structure of the second arc-shaped convex plate 8, the first arc-shaped convex plate 7, and the arc-shaped groove 9 is provided to prevent the liquid from leaking.

[0049] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
