Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat pipes, in particular to a heat pipe. Background Art
[0002] Existing heat pipes primarily achieve excellent heat dissipation by stretching grooves inside the heat pipe, inserting a core rod inside the heat pipe as an auxiliary, and then filling and sintering copper powder between the core rod and the heat pipe to form a capillary structure. This capillary structure provides a capillary force that drives the liquid back, thereby achieving good heat dissipation. The greater the contact area between the capillary structure and the vapor and liquid, the better the conduction effect. How to increase the contact area between the capillary structure and the vapor and liquid is the technical problem to be solved by this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a heat pipe with good conduction effect.
[0004] The utility model provides a heat pipe, comprising a heat pipe body, wherein a plurality of grooves are axially provided on the inner wall surface of the heat pipe body, and a convex strip with a raised arc surface on the bottom surface of the groove is axially provided. The groove is filled with a capillary structure formed by sintering copper powder, and the upper end surface of the capillary structure is a raised arc surface. The convex strip abuts the bottom of the capillary structure.
[0005] Preferably, the convex strip is axially provided with an inner water channel whose opening width is smaller than the width of the groove bottom, and the particle size of the copper powder particles is larger than the width of the groove opening of the inner water channel.
[0006] Preferably, the groove, the convex strip and the heat pipe body are integrally formed.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the heat pipe of the utility model are:
[0008] The upper end surface of the capillary structure filled in the groove of the utility model is a convex arc surface. Compared with the existing capillary structure with a flat upper end surface, it can increase the surface area of the capillary structure and increase the area in contact with gas and liquid, thereby improving the conduction effect.
[0009] The bottom surface of the groove is axially provided with a convex strip with a raised arc surface on the upper end. The convex strip rests on the bottom of the capillary structure. The convex strip cooperates with the core rod to extrude copper powder and then sinter to form a capillary structure. The arrangement of the convex strip reduces the thickness of the capillary structure, saves materials and facilitates sintering.
[0010] An inner water channel is axially provided on the convex strip, the opening width of which is smaller than the width of the groove bottom. The particle size of the copper powder particles is larger than the width of the groove of the inner water channel, so that when the copper powder is filled and sintered, the copper powder will not enter the inner water channel. The inner water channel is used for the passage of vapor and liquid, and the bottom of the capillary structure contacts the vapor and liquid passing through the inner water channel, thereby achieving better capillary force and improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0013] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0015] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the heat pipe of the utility model is proposed:
[0016] A heat pipe includes a heat pipe body 1, wherein a plurality of grooves 2 are evenly distributed axially on the inner wall surface of the heat pipe body 1, and a convex strip 3 with a raised arc surface at the bottom surface of the groove 2 is axially provided. The groove 2, the convex strip 3 and the heat pipe body 1 are integrally formed.
[0017] The groove 2 is filled with a capillary structure 5 formed by sintering copper powder. The upper end surface of the capillary structure 5 is a convex arc surface. Compared with the existing capillary structure with a flat upper end surface, it can increase the surface area of the capillary structure and increase the area in contact with gas and liquid, thereby improving the conduction effect.
[0018] The convex strips 3 are against the bottom of the capillary structure 5. The convex strips 3 cooperate with the core rod to squeeze the copper powder and then sinter to form the capillary structure. The arrangement of the convex strips 3 reduces the thickness of the capillary structure 5, saves materials and facilitates sintering.
[0019] An inner water channel 4 is axially provided on the convex strip 3, the opening width of which is smaller than the width of the groove bottom. The particle size of the copper powder particles is larger than the groove width of the inner water channel 4, so that when the copper powder is filled and sintered, the copper powder will not enter the inner water channel 4. The inner water channel 4 is used for the passage of vapor and liquid. The bottom of the capillary structure 5 contacts the vapor and liquid passing through the inner water channel 4, thereby achieving better capillary force and improving heat transfer efficiency.
