[0023] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further specifically described below through examples and in combination with the drawings.

[0024] Example:

[0025] A porous wicking core based on conformal metal super material, comprising a pipe body 1, a wicking core 2 is sleeved in the pipe body 1, and the pipe body is preferably made of copper material;

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the wicking core 2 includes a porous structure 3 using conformal design, and the voids of the porous structure 3 are filled with metal super material;

[0027] In the design, the model of the wick 2 is meshed to facilitate subsequent design and optimization. After meshing, the metal metamaterial is filled into each gap of the wick 2 by using the conformal design method, so that the designed porous structure 3 can closely fit and adapt to different working environments, and the structure of the wick 2 can be perfectly adapted to other parts of the device, improving the overall thermal management and liquid absorption performance.

[0028] The conformal metal metamaterial optimizes the capillary action by adjusting the unit cell size, porosity, and microstructure type. The porous structure 3 can adjust the unit cell geometry of the metamaterial according to the actual situation. The conformal design can increase the number of flow channels and flow paths while ensuring a large surface area of the metamaterial, thereby improving the absorption and transmission speed of the liquid.

[0029] By adjusting the microstructure of the porous structure 3, including adjusting the porosity, pore size, and wall thickness, the capillary ability of the wick 2 is further optimized. Specifically, by adjusting the unit cell geometry of the metamaterial, such as selecting octet-truss conformal lattice materials, the number of flow channels and effective surface can be increased while maintaining a large surface area. Through fine adjustment of the microstructure, the performance of the wick 2 can be customized according to different application requirements, with higher flexibility.

[0030] The conformal metal metamaterial structure not only provides a larger surface area, but also reduces resistance when the fluid flows, improving the efficiency of liquid transmission.

[0031] The designed conformal metamaterial wick 2 has an outer diameter of 19mm, a wall thickness of 2.5mm, and a preliminary height of 125mm. The design is prepared by advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, ensuring high precision and efficient production.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only representative examples of the present patent. Obviously, the present patent is not limited to the above examples, and many modifications are possible. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made in accordance with the technical essence of the present patent to the above examples shall be considered as falling within the scope of protection of the present patent.
