AI Technical Summary
In traditional heat pipe fabrication devices, uneven clamping of the copper tube during heat pipe fabrication leads to insufficient sealing, allowing residual gas to seep into the heat pipe and affecting the vacuum level. Furthermore, the excessive length of the ineffective end during cutting occupies too much space.
The device employs a symmetrical design with movable parts, closing parts, and extrusion parts. Through the coordinated use of these three parts, the closing fixing block extrudes four closing modules simultaneously towards the center, eliminating stress deviations in the copper tube and achieving a sealed state. The ineffective ends are removed by a cutting mechanism.
It achieves a wrinkle-free, airtight seal at the copper tube opening, prevents gas leakage inside the heat pipe, significantly reduces the length of the ineffective end, and improves the vacuum level and space utilization efficiency of the heat pipe.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pipe processing technology, and in particular to the field of heat pipe exhaust sealing, specifically a pipe pressing device. Background Technology
[0002] A heat pipe is a highly efficient heat transfer element widely used in electronic device heat dissipation (such as CPUs and graphics cards), spacecraft temperature control, and industrial waste heat recovery. Its core principle is to seal a working fluid (such as water or ammonia) inside a vacuum tube shell, utilizing an evaporation-condensation cycle to achieve rapid heat transfer.
[0003] The vent seal of a heat pipe directly determines the vacuum level and working fluid purity inside the heat pipe, thus affecting its heat transfer performance and lifespan.
[0004] Traditional heat pipe pressing devices result in uneven clamping of the copper tube during heat pipe fabrication, leading to insufficient heat pipe sealing and allowing residual gas to seep into the heat pipe, affecting the vacuum level. Furthermore, when the heat pipe is cut after compression and sealing, the ineffective end at the front of the sealed position is too long, occupying storage and usage space. Therefore, we need to propose a heat pipe pressing device. Utility Model Content

The compressed copper tube end is wrinkle-free and there is no gas leakage inside the heat pipe, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
