[0058] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0059] A pulsating heat pipe module according to an embodiment of the present invention is a heat transfer mechanism that transfers heat through the flow of a working fluid while evaporation and condensation are continuously performed as the working fluid circulates through a closed-loop path, and is used as a heat dissipation device that receives heat from a high heat source and releases heat to a low heat sink to cool the high heat source.

[0060] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a Type I vibrating heat pipe module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the vibrating heat pipe module shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the vibrating heat pipe module shown in FIG. 1.

[0061] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a vibrating heat pipe module according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described as having an I-shaped cross-section.

[0062] The above-described vibrating heat pipe module includes a channel plate (10), a bottom plate (20), a top plate (60), and a cover plate (30).

[0063] The above channel plate (10), the above bottom plate (20), the above top plate (60), and the above cover plate (30) are all formed using a press, and the forming method will be explained in detail later.

[0064] However, not limited to this, it is also possible to manufacture at least some or all of the above channel plate (10), above bottom plate (20), above top plate (60) and above cover plate (30) using various methods such as etching in addition to the press method.

[0065] The above channel plate (10) is formed to be elongated in the vertical direction, and being formed to be elongated in the vertical direction may include being formed to be elongated in the up-down direction or in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle from the up-down direction. In this embodiment, the channel plate (10) is described as an example of a vertical plate arranged to be elongated in the up-down direction.

[0066] The bottom plate (20) and the top plate (60) are formed to be elongated in the horizontal direction, and being formed to be elongated in the horizontal direction may include being formed to be elongated in the horizontal direction or in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle from the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the bottom plate (20) and the top plate (60) are each described as horizontal plates that are elongated in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the channel plate (10).

[0067] However, not limited thereto, the angle formed by the channel plate (10) and the bottom plate (20), and the angle formed by the channel plate (10) and the top plate (60) can be varied and applied.

[0068] The above channel plate (10) is a vertical plate arranged vertically, the above bottom plate (20) is a horizontal plate arranged vertically and horizontally below the channel plate (10), and the above top plate (60) is a horizontal plate arranged vertically and horizontally above the channel plate (10). However, this is not limited thereto, and the angle formed by the channel plate (10) with the bottom plate (20) and the top plate (60) can be varied and applied.

[0069] That is, since the channel plate (10) and the bottom plate (20) are perpendicular to each other and the channel plate (10) and the top plate (60) are combined perpendicular to each other, a secondary battery can be installed in the space between the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), and the top plate. Here, the secondary battery may include a cell, a cell module, and a cell pack. Since the channel plate (10) is perpendicular to the bottom plate (20) and the top plate (60), the secondary battery can be in close contact, thereby maximizing the heat transfer area and improving the heat dissipation effect of the secondary battery.

[0070] The above channel plate (10) is a plate formed to form a working fluid channel by piercing a first base plate into a first fluid pattern that is preset by a press mold. The first base plate is a flat plate made of AL 10 or AL 30 material, and is described as having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. In the above channel plate (10), a plurality of fluid holes (11) and a plurality of fluid guides (12) forming the boundaries of the fluid holes are formed by the piercing process.

[0071] The above working fluid channel is the entire flow path through which the working fluid flows when the vibrating heat pipe module is operated, and is a flow path formed by the flow path holes (11) of the channel plate (10), the lower flow path groove (21) of the bottom plate (20), and the upper flow path groove (61) of the top plate (60).

[0072] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a state in which a channel plate and a bottom plate are combined according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part A of FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a plan view of a channel plate according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, in this embodiment, the first flow path pattern of the channel plate (10) is described as an example of an unloop pattern with both the upper and lower ends open so as to communicate with the lower flow path groove (21) of the bottom plate (20) and the upper flow path groove (61) of the top plate (60). However, it is not limited thereto, and the width, length, and shape of the first flow path pattern can be varied and applied according to the characteristics of the working fluid.

[0074] The above-mentioned flow channels (11) are formed in multiple numbers by dividing the working fluid channel to define the first flow channels through which the working fluid flows. The above-mentioned flow channels (11) are through holes formed by piercing. The above-mentioned flow channels (11) are described as, for example, multiple straight holes formed in an up-and-down direction (Y) and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The above-mentioned flow channels (11) are formed to guide the working fluid in the up-and-down direction (Y). However, they are not limited thereto, and the width, length, shape, and number of the above-mentioned flow channels (11) are pre-set according to the working fluid channel and can be varied and applied as long as they can be formed by the piercing process. At least one of the above-mentioned flow channels (11) may be provided with an injection port (not shown) for injecting the working fluid.

[0075] The above plurality of Euro holes (11) are connected by Euro bridges (13) described later.

[0076] The above-mentioned Euro bridge (13) is formed by piercing the Euro holes (11) in the first plate and then stepping a portion of the remaining part so that its thickness is thinner than the thickness of the channel plate (10). The above-mentioned Euro bridge (13) connects adjacent Euro holes (11) and serves as a fluid passage through which the working fluid can pass between the Euro holes (11). The thickness of the above-mentioned Euro bridges (13) is processed to be approximately 40% to 80% of the thickness of the channel plate (10).

[0077] The above-mentioned flow guide (12) is the remaining portion after piercing the flow holes (11) in the first disc, forms the boundary of the flow holes (11), and a plurality of them are formed spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval. In this embodiment, the flow guide (12) is formed in the shape of a long rod in the vertical direction (Y) and is described as having the shape of a comb. The flow guide (12) serves to guide the flow of the working fluid by being formed long in the vertical direction (Y), which is the flow direction of the working fluid in the channel plate (10). The shape or size of the flow guide (12) is pre-set according to the first flow pattern and can be applied by changing it in various ways.

[0078] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the Euro guides (12) are formed to be long enough to protrude upward and downward by a set length (d) respectively from the left and right side portions (10a) and (10b) of the channel plate (10). The set length (d) is described as being formed to be the same as the depth of the lower slot (22) of the bottom plate (20) and the depth of the upper slot (62) of the top plate (60), as described later. Accordingly, the lower end of the Euro guides (12) is inserted to contact the bottom surface of the lower slot (22), and the upper end of the Euro guides (12) is inserted to contact the bottom surface of the upper slot (62).

[0079] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the fluid guides (12) are inserted until they come into contact with the bottom surfaces of the lower slot (22) and the upper slot (62), respectively. However, this is not limited thereto, and it is also possible for the upper and lower ends of the fluid guides (12) to be inserted into the lower slot (22) and the upper slot (62), respectively, but only to a position spaced apart from the bottom surface of each slot by a predetermined height, and it is also possible to have them placed on the upper side of the slots without being inserted into each slot, so that the working fluid can flow through the lower slot (22) and the upper slot (62).

[0080] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a bottom plate according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] Referring to FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 7, the bottom plate (20) is a plate forming the bottom of the vibrating heat pipe module, and the lower part of the channel plate (10) is inserted and joined.

[0082] The above-mentioned bottom plate (20) is a plate formed by forming the second plate. The above-mentioned second plate is a flat plate made of AL 10 or AL 30 material, and is described as having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0083] The upper surface of the above-mentioned bottom plate (20) is formed into a preset second Euro pattern, thereby forming the lower Euro grooves (21) and the lower slots (22).

[0084] The lower flow grooves (21) are grooves formed by the press. The lower flow grooves (21) are formed to communicate with the flow holes (11) so that the working fluid moving in the vertical direction (Y) along the flow holes (11) of the channel plate (10) passes through. The lower flow grooves (21) define the second flow paths through which the working fluid flows.

[0085] The lower slots (22) are also grooves formed by the press. The lower slots (22) are formed so that the lower end of the flow guides (12) is inserted. The lower slots (22) are described as being formed elongated in the left-right direction from the center of the upper surface of the bottom plate (20) so that the channel plate (10) is inserted into the center of the upper surface of the bottom plate (20).

[0086] The lower Euro grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) can be formed in one step through a single forming process.

[0088] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, a plurality of embossings (23) are formed on the lower surface of the bottom plate (20) by forming the lower Euro grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) to protrude downward.

[0089] By forming the embossings (23) on the lower surface of the bottom plate (20), the heat transfer area with the cooling plate (50) mounted on the lower surface of the bottom plate (20) is increased, thereby further improving heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling plate (50) is a cooling unit for providing a cooling source to cool a working fluid. In FIGS. 8 and 9, reference numeral 40 is a thermal interface material, such as a gap pad, for filling the gap between the bottom plate (20) and the cooling plate (50).

[0090] The upper plate (60) is a plate forming the upper surface of the vibrating heat pipe module, and the upper part of the channel plate (10) is inserted and joined.

[0091] The above top plate (60) is a plate formed by forming the third plate. The above third plate is a flat plate made of AL 10 or AL 30 material, and is described as having a thickness of about 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0092] One side of the upper plate (60) is formed with a preset third Euro pattern, thereby forming the upper Euro grooves (61) and the upper slots (62).

[0093] The upper Euro grooves (61) above define third fluid passages through which the working fluid flows.

[0094] In the following embodiment, the top plate (60) and the bottom plate (20) are described as being identical and manufactured in the same way, with only their positions differing, so a detailed description of the top plate (60) is omitted. Additionally, the embossings may be formed on the upper surface of the top plate (60), and the gap pad (40) and the cooling plate (50) may be provided.

[0095] Referring to FIG. 3, the cover plate (30) is a plate formed to cover the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), and the top plate (60), respectively.

[0096] The above cover plate (30) is a plate formed by forming the fourth plate using a press. The above fourth plate is a flat plate made of AL 10 or AL 30 material, and is described as having a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0097] The above cover plate (30) includes a first cover plate (31) and a second cover plate (32). In this embodiment, since the cross-section of the vibrating heat pipe module is I-shaped, the first cover plate (31) and the second cover plate (32) are formed with the same shape as each other, so they are manufactured identically but are arranged in different positions.

[0098] The first cover plate (31) comprises a first vertical portion (31a) formed to be joined to the front surface of the channel plate (10) and to shield the open front surface of the flow hole (11), a first lower horizontal portion (31b) formed to be bent forward from the bottom of the first vertical portion (31a) and extended and stacked on the upper surface of the bottom plate (20) to shield the open upper surface of the lower flow grooves (21), and a first upper horizontal portion (31c) formed to be bent forward from the top of the first vertical portion (31b) and extended and stacked on the lower surface of the top plate (60) to shield the open upper surface of the upper flow grooves (61).

[0099] The second cover plate (32) comprises a second vertical portion (32a) formed to be joined to the front surface of the channel plate (10) and to shield the open rear surface of the flow hole (11), a second lower horizontal portion (32b) formed to be bent forward from the bottom of the second vertical portion (32a) and extended and stacked on the upper surface of the bottom plate (20) to shield the open upper surface of the lower flow grooves (21), and a second upper horizontal portion (32c) formed to be bent forward from the top of the first vertical portion (31b) and extended and stacked on the lower surface of the top plate (60) to shield the open upper surface of the upper flow grooves (61).

[0100] The first and second cover plates (31)(32) may include a clad layer in which an adhesive material such as flux is laminated on at least one of the front and rear surfaces of a metal plate made of a metal such as aluminum. Additionally, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) may be formed as thin plates with a thickness thinner than that of the channel plate (10) and the bottom plate (20). In this embodiment, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) are described as having a thickness of approximately 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0101] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) are described as being made of clad material, and the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), and the top plate (60) are made of aluminum (AL) material, but are not limited thereto. It is also possible for the first and second cover plates (31)(32) to be made of aluminum (AL) material, and for the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), and the top plate (60) to be made of clad material including a clad layer.

[0102] The method for manufacturing a vibrating heat pipe module according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

[0103] A method for manufacturing a vibrating heat pipe module according to the first embodiment of the present invention utilizes a press and includes a piercing press processing step, a forging press processing step, a first forming press processing step, a second forming press processing step, a third forming press processing step, and a joining step.

[0104] First, in the above piercing press processing step, the above channel plate (10) is formed by piercing the above flow holes (11) in a first base plate of a preset thickness.

[0105] In the above piercing press processing step, the first plate is pierced into the first flow path pattern using a press to form the flow path holes (11). The first flow path pattern is a flow path pattern in which the working fluid channel is divided into the plurality of flow path holes (11), and at least a portion of the plurality of flow path holes (11) can be connected by the flow path bridge (13). That is, if the working fluid channel is pierced into a single flow path hole, there is a problem in that the remaining part after piercing the flow path holes in the first plate separates and detaches into pieces. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the working fluid channel is divided into the plurality of flow path holes and pierced, the remaining part after piercing the flow path holes (11) in the first plate is not separated, and the channel plate (10) can be formed as a single plate.

[0106] In the above piercing press processing step, it is also possible to process the first disc into the contour shape of the vibrating heat pipe module.

[0107] The above forging press processing step is a step of forming the flow bridge (13) by forging the part to be connected to the flow holes (11) in the remaining part after processing the flow holes (11) in the channel plate (10).

[0108] In the above forging press processing step, the flow channels (11) are processed in the channel plate (10), and the remaining portion where the flow channels (11) need to be connected is forged in a stepped manner so that it is thinner than the thickness of the channel plate (10) to form the flow channel bridge (13). The flow channel bridge (13) serves to connect the flow channels (11) so that the working fluid of adjacent flow channels (11) can move to each other. The flow channel bridge (13) can be forged using a pre-made forging press die (not shown). The thickness of the flow channel bridge (13) can be processed to be about 40% to 80% of the thickness of the channel plate (10).

[0109] The first forming press processing step is a step of forming the bottom plate (20) having the lower flow grooves (21) and lower slots (22) formed by forming a second base plate of a preset thickness into a preset second flow pattern using a forming press mold.

[0110] In the first forming press processing step, the lower flow grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) are formed concavely in the downward direction, and the depth of the lower flow grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) can be formed to be as deep as the length (d) of the protruding flow guides. As the lower flow grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) are formed by forming, embossings (23) protruding downward by the depth of the lower flow grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) can be formed on the lower surface of the bottom plate (10).

[0111] In the first forming press processing step described above, the lower flow grooves (21) and the lower slots (22) are formed at once, but this is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to process them at different depths or form them separately.

[0112] The second forming press processing step is a step of forming a third base plate of a preset thickness using the forming press mold into a preset second flow pattern to form the upper plate (60) having the upper flow grooves (61) and the upper slots (62) formed therein. Since the bottom plate (20) and the upper plate (60) are manufactured in the same way, the first forming press processing step and the second forming press processing step are performed identically.

[0113] The above third forming press processing step is a step of forming the cover plate (30) by bending the fourth base plate of a preset thickness.

[0114] In the third forming press processing step, the fourth plate is formed by bending a portion of it through forming, so as to form it into a shape that can cover the front and rear surfaces of the channel plate (10), the upper surface of the bottom plate (20), and the lower surface of the top plate (60). The first and second cover plates (31)(32) can be manufactured identically.

[0115] In order to simplify the brazing process, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) may have a clad layer formed by laminating an adhesive material, such as flux, on at least one of the front and rear surfaces of a metal plate made of a metal such as aluminum. Additionally, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) may be formed as thin plates with a thickness thinner than that of the channel plate (10) and the bottom plate (20). In this embodiment, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) are described as having a thickness of approximately 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0116] The above joining step is a step of completing the vibrating heat pipe module by assembling the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), the top plate (60), and the cover plate (30) and brazing them together.

[0117] In the above joining step, the lower end of the flow guides (12) of the channel plate (10) is inserted into the lower slots (22) of the bottom plate (20), and then the channel plate (10) and the bottom plate (20) are brazed together. Additionally, the upper end of the flow guides (12) of the channel plate (10) is inserted into the upper slots (62) of the top plate (60), and then the channel plate (10) and the top plate (60) are brazed together.

[0118] Additionally, in the above joining step, the first and second cover plates (31)(32) are respectively laminated on the outer sides of the channel plate (10), the bottom plate (20), and the top plate (60), and then brazed together. However, this is not limited to this method, and various joining methods such as diffusion bonding and bonding, other than brazing, can be applied.

[0119] The vibrating heat pipe module according to the present invention, configured as described above, is manufactured by a press method, making it easier to produce than when manufactured by a conventional etching method, thereby reducing working time and costs.

[0120] In addition, because the manufacturing method is simple, it is easy to process more diverse and complex Euro patterns, thereby maximizing the heat dissipation effect.

[0121] Meanwhile, FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a Z-shaped vibrating heat pipe module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a side view of the vibrating heat pipe module shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the vibrating heat pipe module shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 13 is a drawing showing a state in which a channel plate and a bottom plate are combined according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13, the vibrating heat pipe module according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises a channel plate (310), a bottom plate (320), a top plate (360), and a cover plate (330). The lower end of the channel plate (310) is inserted at a position spaced apart from the center on the upper surface of the bottom plate (320), and the upper end of the channel plate (310) is inserted at a position spaced apart from the center on the lower surface of the top plate (320), so that the cross-section of the vibrating heat pipe module is formed in a Z-shape. This differs from the first embodiment, and the remaining configuration and operation are similar to the first embodiment. Therefore, a detailed description of the similar configuration is omitted, and the description focuses on the differences.

[0123] FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a bottom plate according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 14, a plurality of lower flow grooves (321) and lower slots (320) are formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate (320) by a press forming process.

[0125] The lower slot (320) is a groove formed at a position spaced rearward from the center on the upper surface of the bottom plate (320) so that the lower end of the flow guides (312) of the channel plate (310) is inserted therein.

[0126] On the upper surface of the upper plate (360), a plurality of upper flow grooves (621) and upper slots (620) are formed by a forming process using a press.

[0127] The upper slot (360) is a groove formed at a position spaced forward from the center on the upper surface of the upper plate (360) so that the upper portion of the flow guides (312) of the channel plate (310) is inserted therein.

[0128] The above cover plate (330) includes a first cover plate (331) and a second cover plate (332) and is formed by being bent by the press. In this embodiment, since the cross-section of the vibrating heat pipe module is Z-shaped, the cross-sections of the first cover plate (331) and the second cover plate (332) are formed in an L-shape.

[0129] The first cover plate (331) comprises a first vertical portion (331a) formed to be joined to the front surface of the channel plate (310) and to shield the open front surface of the flow holes (311), and a first lower horizontal portion (331b) formed to be bent forward from the bottom of the first vertical portion (331a) and laminated on the upper surface of the bottom plate (320) to shield the upper surface of the lower flow grooves (321). That is, the cross-section of the first cover plate (331) is formed in an L-shape.

[0130] The second cover plate (332) comprises a second vertical portion (332a) formed to be joined to the rear surface of the channel plate (310) and to shield the open rear surface of the flow holes (311), and a second upper horizontal portion (332b) formed to be bent backward from the top of the second vertical portion (332a) and laminated to the lower surface of the top plate (360) to shield the upper surface of the upper flow grooves (361). That is, the cross-section of the second cover plate (332) is formed in an L-shape.

[0131] The first cover plate (331) and the second cover plate (332) are manufactured identically and may be positioned differently.

[0132] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view along line CC in FIG. 14. FIG. 16 is a drawing showing the state in which a cooling plate is combined with the bottom plate shown in FIG. 15.

[0133] Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the embossings (323) are formed on the lower surface of the bottom plate (320), so that the heat transfer area with the cooling plate (350) mounted on the lower surface of the bottom plate (320) is increased, thereby further improving heat dissipation efficiency. In FIGS. 14 and 15, reference numeral 340 is a thermal interface material, such as a gap pad, for filling the gap between the bottom plate (320) and the cooling plate (350).

[0134] In addition, the embossings (323) may also be formed on the upper surface of the top plate (360).

[0135] Meanwhile, FIG. 17 is a schematic side view of a Type I vibrating heat pipe module according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 17, the Type I vibrating heat pipe module according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises a channel plate (10′), a bottom plate (20′), a top plate (60′), and a cover plate (30′). The difference from the first embodiment is that the channel plate (10′) is provided in multiple numbers, and the remaining configuration and operation are similar to the first embodiment. Therefore, a detailed description of the similar configuration is omitted, and the description focuses on the differences.

[0137] The plurality of channel plates (10′) are inserted at positions spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance on the upper surface of the bottom plate (20′). At least some of the channel plates (10′) have different flow path patterns formed so that the direction of the working fluid is different from each other.

[0138] In this embodiment, the channel plates (10′) are described as including two first and second channel plates (11) (12). However, this is not limited thereto, and the number of channel plates (10′) can be varied to two or more.

[0139] The first flow pattern of the first channel plate (11) may have first flow holes formed long in the vertical direction, and the second flow pattern of the second channel plate (12) may have second flow holes formed long in the horizontal direction. That is, in this embodiment, the first flow pattern of the first channel plate (11) and the flow pattern of the second channel plate (12) are described as being formed in directions perpendicular to each other. However, this is not limited to this, and it can be applied by changing to various directions other than perpendicular. By forming the flow patterns of the first channel plate (11) and the second channel plate (12) differently from each other, there is an advantage that heat transfer is possible in more directions.

[0140] On the upper surface of the above bottom plate (20′), first and second lower slots (not shown) may be formed at a predetermined distance from each other so that the lower portions of the first and second channel plates (11)(12) are respectively inserted.

[0141] On the lower surface of the upper plate (60′), first and second upper slots (not shown) may be formed at a predetermined distance from each other so that the upper portions of the first and second channel plates (11)(12) are respectively inserted.

[0142] The above cover plate (30′) includes a first cover plate (31), a second cover plate (32), and an intermediate plate (33).

[0143] The intermediate plate (33) is a flat plate placed between the first channel plate (11) and the second channel plate (12). In this embodiment, since there are two channel plates (10′), the intermediate plate (33) is described as one, but it is not limited to this and the number of intermediate plates (33) can be changed differently depending on the number of channel plates (10′).

[0144] The vibrating heat pipe module according to the third embodiment of the present invention configured as described above has the advantage of being able to respond to high heat sources because the amount of working fluid injected can be further increased by including the plurality of channel plates (10′).

[0145] In addition, since the direction of each flow pattern of the plurality of channel plates (10′) can be designed differently, heat transfer is possible in multiple directions, and thus the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.

[0146] Meanwhile, FIG. 18 is a schematic side view of a Z-shaped vibrating heat pipe module according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0147] Referring to FIG. 18, the Z-shaped vibrating heat pipe module according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention comprises a channel plate (310′), a bottom plate (320′), a top plate (360′), and a cover plate (330′). It differs from the first embodiment in that a plurality of channel plates (10′) are provided, and the remaining configuration and operation are similar to the second embodiment. Therefore, a detailed description of the similar configuration is omitted, and the description focuses on the differences.

[0148] The plurality of channel plates (310′) are inserted at positions spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance on the upper surface of the bottom plate (320′). At least some of the channel plates (310′) have different flow path patterns formed so that the direction of the working fluid is different from each other.

[0149] In this embodiment, the channel plates (310′) are described as including two first and second channel plates (311) (312). However, this is not limited thereto, and the number of channel plates (310′) can be varied to two or more.

[0150] The first flow path pattern of the first channel plate (311) may have first flow path holes formed long in the vertical direction, and the second flow path pattern of the second channel plate (312) may have second flow path holes formed long in the horizontal direction. That is, in this embodiment, the first flow path pattern of the first channel plate (311) and the flow path pattern of the second channel plate (312) are described as being formed in directions perpendicular to each other. However, this is not limited to this, and various directions other than perpendicular can be applied. By forming the flow path patterns of the first channel plate (311) and the second channel plate (312) differently from each other, there is an advantage that heat transfer is possible in more directions.

[0151] On the upper surface of the above bottom plate (320′), first and second lower slots (not shown) may be formed at a predetermined distance from each other so that the lower portions of the first and second channel plates (311) (312) are respectively inserted.

[0152] On the lower surface of the upper plate (360′), first and second upper slots (not shown) may be formed at a predetermined distance from each other so that the upper portions of the first and second channel plates (311) (312) are respectively inserted.

[0153] The above cover plate (330′) includes a first cover plate (331), a second cover plate (332), and an intermediate plate (333).

[0154] The intermediate plate (333) is a flat plate placed between the first channel plate (311) and the second channel plate (312). In this embodiment, since there are two channel plates (310′), the intermediate plate (333) is described as one, but it is not limited to this and the number of intermediate plates (333) can be changed differently depending on the number of channel plates (310′).

[0155] The vibrating heat pipe module according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention configured as described above has the advantage of being able to respond to high heat sources because the amount of working fluid injected can be further increased by including the plurality of channel plates (310′).

[0156] In addition, since the direction of each flow pattern of the plurality of channel plates (310′) can be designed differently, heat transfer is possible in multiple directions, and thus the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.

[0157] In the embodiments of the present invention, the channel plate is formed by piercing, and the bottom plate and top plate are formed by forming, and the vibrating heat pipe module is manufactured by a press method as an example; however, the invention is not limited thereto, and if the vibrating heat pipe module according to the embodiments of the present invention can be manufactured, it is of course possible to manufacture at least part or all of the vibrating heat pipe module by a method other than the press method.

[0158] The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, but this is merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
