Compared with traditional linear heat pipes, this heat pipe has the advantages of larger heat dissipation area, more flexible heat dissipation direction, compact structure, easy installation and simple manufacturing process, etc., which can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of electronic equipment, avoid local overheating and extend the service life of equipment.

[0026] In the present invention, preferably, three external threads 2 are provided, which are respectively located at the two outer ends and the upper outer end of the three-way connector 1 .

[0027] In the present invention, preferably, the tightening petals 3 and the positioning platforms 4 are circular and are each provided with four, and the tightening petals 3 and the positioning platforms 4 form an L-shaped structure.

After the first copper tube 7, the second copper tube 8 and the third copper tube 9 are installed inside the tee connector 1, the corresponding tightening covers 5 are closed respectively, and the tightening covers 5 are threadedly connected to the tee connector 1. At this time, the tightening petals 3 and the positioning platform 4 will be contracted under the connection of the tightening cover 5 so as to improve the connection strength between the copper tubes and the tee connector.

[0030] In the present invention, preferably, the first copper tube 7 , the second copper tube 8 and the third copper tube 9 are all located between the tightening flap 3 , the positioning platform 4 and the tightening cover 5 .

The interior of the three-way connector 1 is filled with copper powder and a customized center rod is loaded. The T-shaped internal structure is formed by high-temperature sintering. The copper powder has a high thermal conductivity and can transfer heat quickly, while the center rod plays a role in supporting and guiding the heat flow. When heat is generated at the heat source, the heat is transferred to the three-way connector 1 through the first copper tube 7 and is evenly distributed to the second copper tube 8 and the third copper tube 9. The second copper tube 8 and the third copper tube 9 transfer the heat to the heat sink or the air to achieve efficient heat dissipation. Since the T-shaped structure increases the contact area between the heat pipe and the heat sink or the air, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher.
