The above process requires multiple processes for welding, which is easy to cause a defective rate, and the materials used for the heat pipe 1', the heat dissipation wire 2', the multi-way pipe fitting 3', and the evaporation box 4' are all different; therefore, on the one hand, its structure is relatively complex, and a multi-way pipe fitting 3' is required for conduction, which has a high manufacturing cost. On the other hand, different materials require different welding materials and temperatures for welding.

[0004] Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0039] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] The first embodiment, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a new type of heat pipe structure and processing equipment are provided. The new type of heat pipe structure includes an evaporation box 1 and a heat pipe 2. The heat pipe 2 includes a main pipeline 201, a liquid inlet pipeline 202 and a liquid outlet pipeline 203. The main pipeline 201, the liquid inlet pipeline 202 and the liquid outlet pipeline 203 are an integrally formed structure. The main pipeline 201 is connected to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1 through the liquid inlet pipeline 202, and the main pipeline 201 is connected to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1 through the liquid outlet pipeline 203.

[0041] Specifically, by integrating the main pipeline, the liquid inlet pipeline and the liquid outlet pipeline into an integrally formed structure, it is only necessary to weld the liquid inlet pipeline 202 to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1, and the liquid outlet pipeline 203 to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1, thereby reducing the need for multi-way pipe fittings and multiple welding points to achieve conduction in the prior art, reducing the problem of poor welding in production, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of production, and having a simple structure, high production efficiency and low manufacturing cost.

[0042] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main pipelines 201 are provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of main pipelines 201 are stacked on each other.

[0043] Specifically, the stacking arrangement of multiple groups of main pipelines 201 provides higher design flexibility, and the number of stacking layers can be adjusted according to different application requirements, thereby achieving the best heat dissipation effect.

[0044] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a bent pipeline 204 is provided between the plurality of groups of main pipelines 201 , and the main pipelines 201 and the bent pipelines 204 are integrally bent to form a circuitous shape.

[0045] Specifically, the tortuous pipe increases the flow path length of the cooling fluid in the heat pipe, so that the fluid has a longer time and more surface area to contact the heat pipe, thereby more effectively absorbing and dissipating heat.

[0046] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, two adjacent main pipelines 201 are provided with a spacing distance a through the bent pipeline 204 , and the spacing distance a is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the heat pipe 2 .

[0047] Specifically, the spacing distance a can effectively prevent direct transfer of heat energy between adjacent heat pipes, which helps to avoid reduced thermal efficiency and generation of hot spots.

[0048] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the heat pipe structure further includes a heat sink 3 , and a plurality of heat sinks 3 are provided. The plurality of heat sinks 3 are evenly spaced and distributed on the main pipeline 201 .

[0049] Furthermore, the heat sink 3 includes heat dissipation fins 301 , and the heat dissipation fins 301 are fixed to the main pipeline 201 by buckles and / or screws.

[0050] Specifically, the heat dissipation fins 301 are fixed to the main pipeline 201 by means of clips and / or screws. Compared with the prior art, on the one hand, welding is reduced, and on the other hand, effective transfer of heat energy from the heat pipe to the external environment is promoted, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency; so that only one welding process is required in the entire production process, specifically, the liquid inlet pipeline 202 is welded to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1, and the liquid outlet pipeline 203 is welded to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1.

[0051] Furthermore, the evaporation box 1 , the heat pipe 2 and the heat sink 3 are made of metal material, and the metal material is aluminum, iron or copper.

[0052] Preferably, the evaporator box 1, the heat pipe 2 and the heat sink 3 are made of aluminum. On the one hand, aluminum has high thermal conductivity and can conduct heat quickly and effectively. On the other hand, it is convenient to weld the evaporator box 1 and the heat pipe 2, and there is no need to adjust the welding material and temperature according to different materials, which is convenient for subsequent large-scale production.

[0053] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the liquid inlet pipeline 202 is connected to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1 by welding or bonding; the liquid outlet pipeline 203 is connected to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1 by welding or bonding.

[0054] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the liquid inlet end 101 and the liquid outlet end 102 are staggered up and down on the evaporation box 1 .

[0055] Specifically, the staggered arrangement can help improve the flow path of the fluid in the evaporation box 1 and promote a more uniform fluid distribution. Such a flow path helps to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] A processing equipment includes a welding device for processing the above-mentioned novel heat pipe structure, wherein the liquid inlet pipeline 202 and the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1, and the liquid outlet pipeline 203 and the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1 are automatically welded and fixed by the welding device.

[0057] Specifically, since the evaporation box 1, the heat pipe 2 and the heat dissipation fin 3 are made of aluminum, it is only necessary to weld the liquid inlet pipe 202 to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1 and the liquid outlet pipe 203 to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1. Automated welding can greatly speed up the production process and reduce the time and labor required for manual operation through continuous and rapid welding operations.

[0058] The second embodiment, as Figure 11-Figure 15As shown, the novel heat pipe structure and processing equipment are different from the first embodiment in that the heat dissipation element 3 includes a heat dissipation bar 302, and the heat dissipation bar 302 is fixed on the main pipeline 201 by welding.

[0059] Specifically, the heat dissipation strip 302 is welded and fixed on the main pipeline 201, so that only two welding steps are required in the entire production process, namely, the liquid inlet pipeline 202 is welded to the liquid inlet end 101 of the evaporation box 1, the liquid outlet pipeline 203 is welded to the liquid outlet end 102 of the evaporation box 1, and the heat dissipation strip 302 is welded to the main pipeline 201.
