Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pipe welding technology, and is particularly applicable to welding devices that utilize Lorentz magnetic force to achieve precise positioning of heat pipes in a vacuum environment. It also relates to a vacuum welding device based on magnetic field-assisted positioning. Background Technology

[0002] Heat pipes have a thermal conductivity more than 100 times that of ordinary metals. This superior conductivity has led to the increasingly widespread application of heat pipe radiators in electronic devices, making heat pipe cooling technology a crucial technology for efficient heat dissipation in electronic equipment. A heat pipe radiator is a type of radiator where heat pipes are embedded into a metal substrate through welding. It boasts advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency, low cost, mature technology, and short production cycle, making it suitable for products that eliminate single-point heat sources or have high single-point heat source power. Currently, heat pipe radiators typically employ a low-temperature brazing process, where the heat pipe is embedded in a heat pipe groove and then coated with a low-temperature brazing filler metal for welding. However, the current process is complex, resulting in a relatively low product yield. This is because problems such as heat pipe floating during welding can lead to performance degradation or even product failure.

[0003] To address this issue, patent 202420199198.X proposes a heat pipe radiator welding device based on thermal convection and thermal radiation. The principle is that after the copper heat pipe is nickel-plated, the nickel-plated heat pipe is always firmly fixed in the bottom of the heat pipe groove due to the electromagnetic attraction force generated by the electromagnetic device after being energized. This avoids the need for mechanical fixing methods that affect the thermal performance of the heat pipe in traditional methods.

[0004] Patent 202323524143.6 proposes a tooling for welding heat pipe radiators. The principle is that the nickel-plated heat pipe is firmly fixed to the bottom of the heat pipe groove under the magnetic attraction of the tooling, thereby completely avoiding the problems of product performance degradation or even scrapping caused by the heat pipe floating during the traditional heat pipe radiator welding process.

[0005] The effectiveness of the two patents mentioned above, 202420199198.X and 202323524143.6, hinges on the requirement that a layer of nickel must be plated on the surface of the heat pipe. Only after nickel plating can the heat pipe generate a fixing force that attracts it in a magnetic field. However, the saturation magnetism of nickel is much lower than that of iron / cobalt. In addition, the thickness of the nickel plating layer on the surface of the heat pipe is generally on the micrometer level. Therefore, the nickel plating layer on the surface of the heat pipe results in a very weak attraction force in a magnetic field, which seriously affects the ability to generate a sufficiently large attraction force to fix the heat pipe in a magnetic field.

[0006] Therefore, how to generate a sufficiently strong adsorption force in a magnetic field to firmly fix the heat pipe to the bottom of the heat pipe tank without increasing costs is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, in order to overcome the problems of product performance degradation or even scrapping caused by heat pipe floating during the welding process of heat pipe radiators, this utility model proposes a vacuum welding device based on magnetic field-assisted positioning. By using Lorentz magnetic force and energizing the heat pipe, the heat pipe can be accurately fixed in a vacuum environment, thus completely solving the problem of heat pipe floating during the welding process of heat pipe radiators.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution in this utility model are as follows:

[0025] (2) This method only requires the copper heat pipe to be powered on, and does not require nickel plating as in the traditional method, which greatly reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description
