Abstract:
A thin and flat type heat pipe with enhanced heat conductivity. Between an upper member 22 having a rectangular area 24b on a lower surface and a lower member 20 having a rectangular area 24a on an upper area are provided intermediate plate members 32, 30. The members 32, 30 are each formed with slits 8, constructing a vapor path extending in a planar direction, communicating with the rectangular areas 24a, 24b of the members 22, 20, respectively. Thus, a sealed space is defined by the slits 8 and the rectangular areas 24a, 24b so that a refrigerant is enclosed in the sealed space. Capillary holes 10 are formed through non-slitted portions of the intermediate plate members 32, 30 so that each capillary hole 10 serves as a capillary path of flow extending vertically to communicate with the rectangular areas 24a, 24b of the members 22, 20.
Abstract:
A small and thin heat pipe 1 with enhanced heat conductivity. Between an upper member 2 having a grid-like upper concave portion 21 on an inside lower surface and a lower member 3 having a grid-like lower concave portion 17 on an inside upper surface are provided intermediate plate members 7 and 8. The members 7, 8 are each formed with multiple vapor diffusion flow paths 10 extending in a planar direction, communicating with the concave portions 21, 17 of the members 2, 3, respectively. Thus, a sealed space is defined therebetween so that a refrigerant is enclosed therein. Capillary flow paths 11 are formed through a portion of the members 7, 8 except where the vapor diffusion flow paths 10 are formed such that the capillary flow paths 11 extend vertically or both vertically and horizontally, communicating with the concave portions 21,17 of the members 2,3.
Abstract:
A cooling unit main body 25 having vapor diffusion flow paths 42 which extend to the peripheral portion and capillary flow paths 41 formed between the vapor diffusion flow paths 42 and in a concave portion opposite region 47 is provided with a thin concave portion 6 in which an LED chip 2 is mounted. Accordingly, heat from the LED chip 2 can be easily transferred by what corresponds to the thinning of the concave portion 6, and successive circulating phenomenon caused by a refrigerant W is repeated by the heat, and the heat is surely drawn from the LED chip 2 by latent heat at a time when the refrigerant W vaporizes, so that a heat pipe 5 can maintain the light emitting state of the LED chip 2 stably.
