The vapor chamber realizes the rapid diffusion of concentrated heat to a larger condensation surface by the phase change heat transfer principle, thereby effectively reducing the heat flux density of the electronic equipment. For this reason, vapor chamber technology is highly appreciated by researchers in the field of heat dissipation in electronic devices.
The existing vapor chamber is generally flat and is composed of an evaporation plate, a condensation plate and a corresponding liquid absorption core. When the device works, heat of a heat source is transferred to the liquid working medium through the wall shell of the evaporation surface and the liquid absorption core, so that the liquid working medium is boiled and gasified due to temperature rise; the working medium converted into the gas state is transferred to the condensing surface, the gas state is condensed into liquid again after releasing heat, the liquid working medium returns to the evaporation end by means of gravity or capillary force of the evaporation tank, a working cycle is completed, and the steps are repeated, so that the heat is rapidly diffused to the whole condensing surface from a concentrated area. However, the existing soaking plate technology has the following defects:
1. the existing vapor chamber of the vapor chamber is generally reserved as a vapor diffusion channel, and the vapor chamber has low structural strength and is easy to deform to cause poor contact, so that the heat dissipation performance of the vapor chamber is sharply reduced. On the other hand, the vapor chamber structure makes the vapor chamber more difficult to be ultrathin, the processing is more complicated, and the cost is higher.
2. Most of the prior vapor chamber wicks are formed by porous metal sintering. The liquid absorption core has large flow resistance, small permeability and low heat dissipation efficiency.
3. The existing part of vapor chamber adopts a channel-type liquid absorbing core, so that the permeability is high, the flow resistance is low, but the capillary suction is low, and the sufficient reflux power can not be provided for the working medium, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber is reduced. On the other hand, the existing channel type liquid absorption core vapor chamber has poor anti-gravity effect and can only be horizontally installed.
4. The existing soaking plate has large thickness, and the phenomenon of sharp increase of thermal resistance can occur when the thickness is reduced or micro stress deformation occurs.
