The technical solution of the present invention will be further described with reference to the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a heat conducting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is an exploded schematic structural diagram of a heat conducting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The heat conducting structure disclosed in this embodiment is a VC (vacuum Chamber Vapor Chamber) heat conducting structure, and can be applied to electronic equipment to dissipate heat from a heat source (e.g., a chip, a battery, etc.) in the electronic equipment, so as to ensure normal operation of the electronic equipment. Specifically, the heat conductive structure 100 includes a first heat conductive sheet 10 and a second heat conductive sheet 20. The first heat conducting sheet 10 is formed with a plurality of capillary grooves 11, and the second heat conducting sheet 20 is hermetically connected to the first heat conducting sheet 10, so that the plurality of capillary grooves 11 on the first heat conducting sheet 10 form a sealed cavity 11a for flowing a heat conducting fluid (not shown) between the first heat conducting sheet 10 and the second heat conducting sheet 20.
Wherein the capillary groove 11 means a groove having a capillary force.
The mode that forms a plurality of capillary grooves 11 on first conducting strip 10 is adopted, utilize capillary groove 11 to form the sealed cavity 11a that supplies the heat conduction fluid circulation to capillary groove 11 can provide capillary force, need not additionally to increase fibre or weave the copper mesh, thereby can effectively reduce heat conduction structure 100's whole thickness, make it can satisfy electronic equipment's frivolous design requirement.
In addition, the capillary groove 11 is formed on the first heat conducting strip 10, the processing mode is simple, complex mechanical alignment is not needed, and meanwhile, manual assistance of a jig is not needed, so that the processing difficulty can be effectively reduced, and the preparation efficiency and the preparation precision of the heat conducting structure 100 are improved.
In some embodiments, the first heat conductive sheet 10 may be a circular sheet or an elongated sheet in order to match a heat source of an electronic device. For example, the first heat conduction sheet 10 is a strip-shaped sheet, and the first heat conduction sheet 10 may be a metal sheet, and may be a copper sheet, a stainless steel sheet, or the like. When forming this capillary groove 11 on first conducting strip 10, the mode of accessible microetching realizes to the processing degree of difficulty is low and need not artifical assistance tool and accomplish, is favorable to improving its machining efficiency and machining precision.
Alternatively, the thickness of the first thermally conductive sheet 10 may be approximately 50-200 μm, so that the overall thickness of the thermally conductive structure is very thin and occupies less space. Illustratively, the thickness of the first thermally conductive sheet 10 may be 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, or the like.
Further, the second heat conducting sheet 20 may also be a long sheet, and the second heat conducting sheet 20 may also be a metal sheet, such as a copper sheet, a stainless steel sheet, and the like, and the thickness of the second heat conducting sheet 20 may also be approximately 50-200 μm, that is, the overall thickness of the heat conducting structure of the embodiment is 100-400 μm, so that the overall thickness of the heat conducting structure is very thin and occupies a small space. Illustratively, the thickness of the second heat conduction sheet 20 may be 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, or the like, and the overall thickness of the heat conduction structure may be 100 μm, 160 μm, 240 μm, 300 μm, 360 μm, 400 μm, or the like, so that the heat conduction structure of the present embodiment is formed as an ultra-thin heat conduction structure having a thickness of 400 μm or less. When the second heat conducting strip 20 is connected with the first heat conducting strip 10 in a sealing manner, the liquid can be filled into the second heat conducting strip 20 and the first heat conducting strip 10 in a pressing manner, so that the second heat conducting strip 20 is completely connected with the first heat conducting strip 10 in a sealing manner, and a vacuum negative pressure environment can be formed between the first heat conducting strip 10 and the second heat conducting strip 20.
In the related art of the VC heat conducting plate, a plurality of first grooves are usually formed in the first heat conducting sheet 10, a plurality of second grooves are formed in the second heat conducting sheet 20 corresponding to the plurality of first grooves in the first heat conducting sheet 10, each second groove and each first groove are aligned and pressed to form a sealed cavity 11a, and then a fiber or woven copper mesh is fixed between the first groove and the second groove. By adopting the mode, on one hand, the first heat conducting sheet 10 and the second heat conducting sheet 20 are respectively provided with the grooves, the groove forming processing cost is high, and meanwhile, when the sealing and laminating are carried out, each first groove and each second groove are required to be aligned accurately, the alignment precision requirement is high, and the alignment cost is high, so that the control of the processing cost of the VC heat conducting plate is not facilitated. On the other hand, fibers or woven copper meshes are required to be added after the groove is formed, so that the overall thickness of the VC heat-conducting plate is increased, the processing difficulty of the VC heat-conducting plate is also increased, and the preparation difficulty and the cost of the VC heat-conducting plate are increased.
In this way, in the present invention, the capillary groove 11 is formed in the first heat conductive sheet 10 by microetching, and the etching cost is low because the capillary groove 11 is provided only in the first heat conductive sheet 10. Meanwhile, the capillary grooves 11 can directly provide capillary force, extra fibers or woven copper meshes are not needed, the overall thickness of the heat conducting structure 100 can be controlled, the processing difficulty of the heat conducting structure 100 can be reduced, the preparation efficiency is improved, and the preparation cost is reduced. In addition, the second heat conducting strip 20 is not provided with a groove, so that alignment is not required during pressing, which is beneficial to further reducing the processing difficulty of the heat conducting structure 100 and facilitating processing.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the cross-sectional shape of the capillary groove 11 may be circular, elliptical, or polygonal. Specifically, when the cross section of the capillary groove 11 is polygonal, it may be, for example, an inverted triangle, an inverted trapezoid, a rectangle, a square, or other polygonal shapes, such as a hexagon, an octagon, etc. The capillary groove 11 has a circular, elliptical or polygonal cross section, which facilitates the processing of the capillary groove 11, thereby simplifying the processing technique of the heat conducting structure 100 and reducing the processing difficulty.
Further, the depth of the capillary groove 11 is greater than or equal to the width of the capillary groove 11, so that the capillary force of the capillary groove 11 can be effectively ensured. Specifically, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be 30 to 200 μm, and the width of the capillary groove 11 may be 20 to 200 μm. Since the depth of the capillary groove 11 is greater than or equal to the width of the capillary groove 11, for example, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be set to 30 μm, 40 μm, 60 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, or the like, and the width of the capillary groove 11 may be set to 20 μm, 40 μm, 70 μm, 110 μm, 130 μm, 200 μm, or the like. Thus, the width and depth of the capillary groove 11 are small, and the capillary effect can be effectively realized.
It should be noted that, since the capillary groove 11 is formed on the first heat-conducting sheet 10 by micro-etching, the depth of the capillary groove 11 during micro-etching needs to be mainly the entire thickness of the first heat-conducting sheet 10, and the etching depth of the capillary groove 11 should be smaller than the thickness of the first heat-conducting sheet 10 to prevent the capillary groove from etching through the first heat-conducting sheet 10. For example, when the thickness of the first heat conductive sheet 10 is 50 μm, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be 30 μm, and when the thickness of the first heat conductive sheet 10 is 100 μm, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be 30 μm, 50 μm, 70 μm, or the like, as long as it is smaller than the thickness of the first heat conductive sheet 10.
In some embodiments, as can be seen from the foregoing, the first heat conducting sheet 10 is a strip-shaped sheet, and taking the first heat conducting sheet 10 as an approximately oval sheet as an example, the capillary groove 11 may be disposed on the first heat conducting sheet 10 in a ring shape along the outer shape of the first heat conducting sheet 10. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of capillary grooves 11 are formed in the first heat conducting sheet 10 (the filled portions in fig. 3 indicate portions of the first heat conducting sheet 10 where no capillary groove 11 is formed, the portions can be press-fit connected with the second heat conducting sheet 20, and serve as support portions, and the blank portions between two adjacent filled portions in fig. indicate capillary grooves 11), the plurality of capillary grooves 11 are all annular grooves, each capillary groove 11 is circumferentially formed along the outer shape of the first heat conducting sheet 10, and each capillary groove 11 is sequentially arranged along the center of the first heat conducting sheet 10 at intervals outwards, so that the first heat conducting sheet 10 still has sufficient support to be press-fit connected with the second heat conducting sheet 20, and the first heat conducting sheet 10 is prevented from being concave when the vacuum negative pressure occurs due to insufficient support. In addition, with the above arrangement, it is not necessary to additionally provide a support structure on the first thermally conductive sheet 10 to support the second thermally conductive sheet 20, thereby further facilitating the control of the thickness of the thermally conductive structure 100.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the sealed cavity 11a is formed by the second heat conductive sheet 20 being hermetically pressed on the first heat conductive sheet 10, so that the plurality of annular capillary grooves 11 form the sealed cavity 11a formed by the hermetic pressing of the second heat conductive sheet 20, and thus the sealed cavity 11a is mainly used for flowing the heat conductive fluid, so as to dissipate heat through the flowing of the heat conductive fluid. It is understood that the heat transfer fluid may be water, ethanol, glycol, methanol, acetone, etc., and the heat transfer fluid may have different boiling points according to the temperature of the object (i.e., the heat generating source 601) to be radiated, and for example, when the heat generating source 601 is a device with high heat generation, such as a chip or a battery, the heat transfer fluid may be water. When the heat source 601 is a device with moderate heat, such as a camera, a flash lamp, or the like, the heat-conducting fluid may be ethanol or ethylene glycol. It is understood that the heat generating source can be, but not limited to, a chip, a battery, a camera, a flash lamp, etc. in an electronic device, which generate heat during operation.
In some embodiments, the sealed cavity 11a may have an evaporation heat absorption region 110, a diffusion region 111, and a condensation heat release region 112. That is, the area of the first heat conductive sheet 10 where the capillary groove 11 is provided may be divided into the evaporation heat absorption area 110, the diffusion area 111, and the condensation heat release area 112. The evaporation heat absorption area 110 may be disposed corresponding to the heat generating source 601, so as to absorb heat emitted from the heat generating source. The diffusion area 111 may be located between the evaporation heat absorption area 110 and the condensation heat release area 112, and the diffusion area 111 is used for diffusing heat of the evaporation heat absorption area 110 to the condensation heat release area 112, so that the heat is condensed by the condensation heat release area 112, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the evaporation heat absorption region 110 is located in a left region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, the diffusion region 111 is located in a middle region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, and the condensation heat release region 112 is located in a right region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, that is, the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111, and the condensation heat release region 112 are sequentially arranged along a length direction of the first heat conductive sheet 10. By adopting the above manner, the heat absorbed by the evaporation heat absorption region 110 can be quickly diffused to the condensation heat release region 112 by the diffusion region 111 for condensation, so that quick cooling and heat dissipation can be realized, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat conduction structure 100 can be further improved.
It should be understood that the left and right directions are shown as the left and right directions in fig. 3, and the directions are only for convenience of description and do not limit the scope of the present embodiment.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the sealed cavity 11a is mainly formed by the capillary groove 11 formed on the first heat conductive sheet 10 under the sealing and pressing of the second heat conductive sheet 20, and therefore, the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 are located at the same height layer on the first heat conductive sheet 10. In other words, after the evaporation heat absorption region 110 absorbs heat of the heat generation source, the heat is directly diffused through the evaporation heat absorption region 110 toward the diffusion region 111, and then diffused through the diffusion region 111 to the condensation heat release region 112. The evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 are disposed at the same height layer, and compared with the method of disposing the condensation heat release region 112 above the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the heat conduction structure 100 of the present embodiment has a thinner overall thickness, and is suitable for electronic devices with a thinner and lighter design.
In some embodiments, diffusion region 111 is formed as a cavity in the area proximate to evaporative heat absorption region 110. Therefore, the diffusion area can be favorable for rapidly diffusing heat, and the heat is prevented from being gathered at the evaporation heat absorption area, so that the diffusion speed of the heat is improved.
Further, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 located in the diffusion region 111 gradually increases from the position close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the direction away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, so that the diffusion region 111 is away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 is large, the number of the capillary grooves 11 is large, heat can be cooled, the heat can be rapidly diffused to the condensation heat release region 112, the diffusion speed and the condensation speed of the heat are further improved, and the effects of rapid heat dissipation and temperature reduction are achieved. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the arrows with broken lines in fig. 3 indicate the direction of heat diffusion in the capillary grooves 11. The diffusion area 111 is formed as a cavity near the evaporation heat absorption area 110, and the number of the capillary grooves 11 of the diffusion area 111 is increased (i.e. the number of the supporting portions of the first heat conducting sheet 11 is increased) near the condensation heat release area 112, so that heat can be rapidly diffused from the evaporation heat absorption area 110 to the diffusion area 111, and meanwhile, when the diffusion area is near the condensation heat release area 112, the diffusion speed of the heat is reduced, so that the time for the heat to stay in the condensation heat release area 112 can be prolonged, the condensation heat release area 112 can be ensured to condense as much heat as possible, and further, the heat dissipation effect can be ensured.
In addition, the number of the capillary grooves 11 of the diffusion area 111 is increased near the condensation heat release area 112, so that the diffusion area 111 has a certain supporting strength, and the first heat conduction sheet 10 is prevented from collapsing due to insufficient support at the position corresponding to the diffusion area 111.
In some embodiments, the diffusion region 111 has a first diffusion region 111a near the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and a second diffusion region 111b near the condensation heat release region 112, and the width of the second diffusion region 111b is greater than that of the first diffusion region 111 a. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the diffusion region 111 is roughly divided into a first diffusion region 111a, a second diffusion region 111b and a transition region 111c located between the first diffusion region 111a and the second diffusion region 111b, the first diffusion region 111a is disposed near the evaporation heat absorption region 110, and is directly communicated with the capillary groove 11 of the evaporation heat absorption region 110, and the first diffusion region 111a is an approximately entire rectangular groove region, that is, the first diffusion region 111a is formed as a cavity. The transition region 111c is also an approximately rectangular region, but in the transition region 111c, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 is greater than that of the first diffusion region 111 a. The second diffusion region 111b is disposed toward the condensation and heat release region 112 and directly connected to the capillary grooves 11 of the condensation and heat release region 112, the second diffusion region 111b is also an approximately rectangular region, and the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 of the second diffusion region 111b is greater than that of the capillary grooves 11 of the transition region 111c, so that the second diffusion region 111b has a certain support. Thus, the width b1 of the first diffusion region 111a is less than the width b3 of the transition region 111c, and the width b3 of the transition region 111c is less than the width b2 of the second diffusion region 111 b. This is because the first diffusion region 111a is formed as a cavity which is provided with substantially no support, and if its width is too large, it is liable to cause a collapse condition at the first diffusion region 111a upon vacuum negative pressure pressing. Therefore, when the diffusion region 111 is divided into a plurality of diffusion regions 111, the widths of the plurality of diffusion regions 111 are gradually increased from the direction close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the direction away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, so that the diffusion region 111 can effectively and rapidly diffuse heat, and the structural strength of the diffusion region 111 can be favorably ensured.
In some embodiments, the width b1 of the first diffusion region 111a is 0.5mm to 5mm, and the width b2 of the second diffusion region 111b is 0.5mm to 5 mm. Illustratively, the width b1 of the first diffusion area 111a may be 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, and correspondingly, the width b2 of the second diffusion area 111b may also be 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, as long as the width b1 of the first diffusion area 111a is smaller than the width b2 of the second diffusion area 111 b.
In some embodiments, in order to enable the heat of the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to diffuse towards the diffusion region 111 and then diffuse towards the condensation heat release region 112 through the diffusion region 111, in the capillary groove 11 located in the evaporation heat absorption region 110 close to the diffusion region 111 and the capillary groove 11 located in the condensation heat release region 112 close to the diffusion region 111, a groove 113 communicating with two adjacent capillary grooves 11 is provided. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the grooves 113 may communicate not only with the adjacent two capillary grooves 11 but also with the diffusion region 111, so that heat may be diffused toward the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 along the communication. By arranging the grooves 113 between two adjacent capillary grooves 11 for communication, the heat-conducting fluid can flow back and forth between the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and the condensation heat release region 112 in a circulating manner, so that the fluid in the condensation heat release region 112 can be effectively ensured to flow back to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 in time for supplement, and the evaporation heat absorption region 110 is prevented from being dried.
As shown in fig. 4, the width b4 of the groove 113 is smaller than the width b5 of the capillary groove 11, so that the capillary groove 11 has a certain capillary force, and the heat-conducting fluid can flow from the groove 113 to the adjacent capillary groove 11, thereby realizing the circulation flow of the heat-conducting fluid.
Illustratively, the width b4 of the groove 113 may be 0.3mm-3mm, such as 0.3mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 2mm, or 3 mm.
In the heat conducting structure 100 of the present embodiment, the capillary groove 11 is directly formed on the first heat conducting strip 10, and the capillary groove 11 provides a capillary force for flowing the heat conducting fluid, so as to achieve the heat dissipation and cooling effects on the heat source. The heat conduction structure 100 of this embodiment adopts above-mentioned mode, and not only simple structure, effectively simplify manufacturing procedure, need not to carry out accurate counterpoint simultaneously, are favorable to improving this heat conduction structure 100's machining precision and machining efficiency.
In addition, in the heat conducting structure 100 of the first embodiment, the sealed cavity 11a formed by the capillary groove 11 is further divided into the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 which are sequentially communicated, so that the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 of the heat conducting structure 100 are located at the same height layer, and meanwhile, the diffusion region 111 can be used for rapidly diffusing the heat of the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the condensation heat release region 112, so that the heat can be condensed as much as possible in the condensation heat release region 112, thereby achieving condensation and heat dissipation effects. Meanwhile, the embodiment optimizes the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 in the diffusion region 111 and the widths of different regions of the diffusion region 111 close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and the condensation heat release region 112, so as to further achieve the effects of increasing the heat diffusion speed of the hot end (i.e., the evaporation heat absorption region 110) and the condensation speed of the cold end (i.e., the condensation heat release region 112), and further consider the design of the support strength of the first heat conducting sheet 10, thereby avoiding the collapse of the diffusion region 111, and not requiring additional structural support, so that the heat conducting structure 100 can maintain an ultrathin design, and meet the light and thin design requirements of electronic equipment.
Example two
Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a heat conducting structure 100 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. The preparation method can comprise the following steps:
501. providing a first heat conducting sheet, and forming a plurality of capillary grooves on the first heat conducting sheet.
In this step, the capillary groove 11 formed on the first heat conducting sheet 10 may be formed by micro etching, so that the depth and the width of the formed capillary groove 11 are both small, and the effect that the capillary groove 11 can provide capillary force is achieved.
Optionally, the first heat conducting strip 10 may be a metal sheet, such as a copper sheet or a stainless steel sheet, so that the first heat conducting strip 10 has sufficient structural strength on one hand, and the copper sheet or the stainless steel sheet has good heat conducting performance on the other hand, and can conduct heat emitted by a heat source when connected with the heat source of the electronic device.
Alternatively, the first thermally conductive sheet 10 may be a long sheet shape to have a sufficient area to be connected to the heat generating source. In actual connection, the first heat conducting sheet 10 is usually directly attached to the heat source, and the first heat conducting sheet 10 covers the heat source as completely as possible, so that the first heat conducting sheet 10 has a sufficient heat conducting area to conduct heat emitted by the heat source, and on the other hand, the heat emitted by the heat source is prevented from being diffused to other components of the electronic device.
Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of the capillary groove 11 may be circular, elliptical, or polygonal. Specifically, when the cross section of the capillary groove 11 is polygonal, it may be an inverted triangle, an inverted trapezoid, a rectangle, a square, or other polygons, such as a hexagon, an octagon, and the like. The capillary groove 11 has a circular, elliptical or polygonal cross section, which facilitates the processing of the capillary groove 11, thereby simplifying the processing technique of the heat conducting structure 100 and reducing the processing difficulty.
Further, the depth of the capillary groove 11 is greater than or equal to the width of the capillary groove 11, so that the capillary force of the capillary groove 11 can be effectively ensured. Specifically, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be 30 to 200 μm, and the width of the capillary groove 11 may be 20 to 200 μm. Since the depth of the capillary groove 11 is greater than or equal to the width of the capillary groove 11, for example, the depth of the capillary groove 11 may be set to 30 μm, 40 μm, 60 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, or the like, and the width of the capillary groove 11 may be set to 20 μm, 40 μm, 70 μm, 110 μm, 130 μm, 200 μm, or the like. Thus, the width and depth of the capillary groove 11 are small, and the capillary effect can be effectively realized.
Alternatively, each capillary groove 11 may be provided on the first heat conductive sheet 10 in a ring shape along the outer shape of the first heat conductive sheet 10. For example, referring to fig. 3, a plurality of capillary grooves 11 are formed in the first heat conducting sheet 10 (the filled portions in fig. 3 indicate portions of the first heat conducting sheet 10 where no capillary groove 11 is formed, the portions can be press-fit connected with the second heat conducting sheet 20, and serve as support portions, and the blank portions between two adjacent filled portions indicate capillary grooves 11), the plurality of capillary grooves 11 are all annular grooves, each capillary groove 11 is circumferentially formed along the outer shape of the first heat conducting sheet 10, and each capillary groove 11 is sequentially arranged along the center of the first heat conducting sheet 10 at intervals outward, so that the first heat conducting sheet 10 still has sufficient support to be press-fit connected with the second heat conducting sheet 20, and the first heat conducting sheet 10 is prevented from being concave when the vacuum negative pressure occurs due to insufficient support. In addition, with the above arrangement, it is not necessary to additionally provide a support structure on the first thermally conductive sheet 10 to support the second thermally conductive sheet 20, thereby further facilitating the control of the thickness of the thermally conductive structure 100.
502. And the second heat conducting fin is connected to the first heat conducting fin in a sealing manner, so that a plurality of capillary grooves on the first heat conducting fin form a sealed cavity for the circulation of heat conducting fluid between the first heat conducting fin and the second heat conducting fin.
Specifically, in the actual preparation, the second thermally conductive sheet 20 is connected to the first thermally conductive sheet 10 in a sealing manner by pressing, filling and sealing, so as to ensure that the second thermally conductive sheet 20 and the first thermally conductive sheet 10 are completely sealed, and a vacuum negative pressure environment can be formed inside the sealed cavity 11a, so as to facilitate the circulation of the thermally conductive fluid.
In some embodiments, the sealed cavity 11a may have an evaporation heat absorption region 110, a diffusion region 111, and a condensation heat release region 112. That is, the area of the first heat conductive sheet 10 where the capillary groove 11 is provided may be divided into the evaporation heat absorption area 110, the diffusion area 111, and the condensation heat release area 112. The evaporation heat absorption area 110 may be disposed corresponding to the heat source, so as to absorb heat emitted from the heat source. The diffusion area 111 may be located between the evaporation heat absorption area 110 and the condensation heat release area 112, and the diffusion area 111 is used for diffusing heat of the evaporation heat absorption area 110 to the condensation heat release area 112, so that the heat is condensed by the condensation heat release area 112, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the evaporation heat absorption region 110 is located in a left region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, the diffusion region 111 is located in a middle region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, and the condensation heat release region 112 is located in a right region of the first heat conductive sheet 10, that is, the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111, and the condensation heat release region 112 are sequentially arranged along a length direction of the first heat conductive sheet 10. By adopting the above manner, the heat absorbed by the evaporation heat absorption region 110 can be quickly diffused to the condensation heat release region 112 by the diffusion region 111 for condensation, so that quick cooling and heat dissipation can be realized, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat conduction structure 100 can be further improved.
It should be understood that the left and right directions are shown as the left and right directions in fig. 3, and the directions are only for convenience of description and do not limit the scope of the present embodiment.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the sealed cavity 11a is mainly formed by the capillary groove 11 formed on the first heat conductive sheet 10 under the sealing and pressing of the second heat conductive sheet 20, and therefore, the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 are located on the same layer on the first heat conductive sheet 10. In other words, after the evaporation heat absorption region 110 absorbs heat of the heat generation source, the heat is directly diffused through the evaporation heat absorption region 110 toward the diffusion region 111, and then diffused through the diffusion region 111 to the condensation heat release region 112. The evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112 are disposed at the same height layer, and compared to the related art in which the condensation heat release region 112 is disposed above the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the heat conduction structure 100 of the present embodiment has a thinner overall thickness, and is suitable for electronic devices with a thinner and lighter design.
In some embodiments, diffusion region 111 is formed as a cavity in the area proximate to evaporative heat absorption region 110. Therefore, the diffusion area can be favorable for rapidly diffusing heat, and the heat is prevented from being gathered at the evaporation heat absorption area, so that the diffusion speed of the heat is improved.
Further, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 located in the diffusion region 111 gradually increases from the position close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the direction away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, so that the diffusion region 111 is away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 is large, the number of the capillary grooves 11 is large, heat can be cooled, the heat can be rapidly diffused to the condensation heat release region 112, the diffusion speed and the condensation speed of the heat are further improved, and the effects of rapid heat dissipation and temperature reduction are achieved. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the arrows with broken lines in fig. 3 indicate the direction of heat diffusion in the capillary grooves 11. The diffusion area 111 is formed as a cavity near the evaporation heat absorption area 110, and the number of capillary grooves 11 of the diffusion area 111 is increased near the condensation heat release area 112 (i.e. the number of the supporting portions of the first heat conducting sheet 11 is increased, since the capillary grooves are formed between two adjacent supporting portions), so that heat can be rapidly diffused from the evaporation heat absorption area 110 to the diffusion area 111, and meanwhile, when the capillary grooves are near the condensation heat release area 112, the diffusion speed of the heat is reduced, so that the time for the heat to stay in the condensation heat release area 112 can be prolonged, the condensation heat release area 112 can condense as much heat as possible, and further the heat dissipation effect can be ensured.
In some embodiments, the diffusion region 111 has a first diffusion region 111a near the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and a second diffusion region 111b near the condensation heat release region 112, and the width b2 of the second diffusion region 111b is greater than the width b1 of the first diffusion region 111 a. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the diffusion region 111 is roughly divided into a first diffusion region 111a, a second diffusion region 111b and a transition region 111c located between the first diffusion region 111a and the second diffusion region 111b, the first diffusion region 111a is disposed near the evaporation heat absorption region 110, and is directly communicated with the capillary groove 11 of the evaporation heat absorption region 110, and the first diffusion region 111a is an approximately entire rectangular groove region, that is, the first diffusion region 111a is formed as a cavity. The transition region 111c is also an approximately rectangular region, but in the transition region 111c, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 is greater than that of the first diffusion region 111 a. The second diffusion region 111b is disposed toward the condensation and heat release region 112 and directly connected to the capillary grooves 11 of the condensation and heat release region 112, the second diffusion region 111b is also an approximately rectangular region, and the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 of the second diffusion region 111b is greater than that of the capillary grooves 11 of the transition region 111c, so that the second diffusion region 111b has a certain support. Thus, the width b1 of the first diffusion region 111a is less than the width b3 of the transition region 111c, and the width b3 of the transition region 111c is less than the width b2 of the second diffusion region 111 b. This is because the first diffusion region 111a is provided with substantially no support, and if its width is too large, it is liable to cause a collapse condition at the first diffusion region 111a at the time of vacuum negative pressure pressing. Therefore, when the diffusion region 111 is divided into a plurality of diffusion regions 111, the widths of the plurality of diffusion regions 111 are gradually increased from the direction close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the direction away from the evaporation heat absorption region 110, so that the diffusion region 111 can effectively and rapidly diffuse heat, and the structural strength of the diffusion region 111 can be favorably ensured.
In some embodiments, the width b1 of the first diffusion region 111a is 0.5mm to 5mm, and the width b2 of the second diffusion region 111b is 0.5mm to 5 mm. Illustratively, the width b1 of the first diffusion area 111a may be 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, and correspondingly, the width b2 of the second diffusion area 111b may also be 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm, as long as the width b1 of the first diffusion area 111a is smaller than the width b2 of the second diffusion area 111 b.
In the manufacturing method of the heat conducting structure 100 disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention, the capillary groove 11 is directly formed on the first heat conducting strip 10, so that the capillary groove 11 can provide a capillary force to facilitate the circulation of the heat conducting fluid, and therefore, the heat conducting structure 100 of the second embodiment does not need to additionally add fibers or weave copper mesh, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process of the heat conducting structure 100, but also is beneficial to reduce the overall thickness of the heat conducting structure 100, so as to meet the design requirement of lightness and thinness.
In addition, the embodiment further divides the sealed cavity 11a formed by the capillary groove 11 into the evaporation heat absorption region 110, the diffusion region 111 and the condensation heat release region 112, and the heat can be rapidly diffused from the evaporation heat absorption region 110 to the condensation heat release region 112 by using the way that the diffusion region 111 is communicated with the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and the condensation heat release region 112, so that the heat is prevented from being concentrated in the evaporation heat absorption region 110, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat conduction structure 100 is effectively improved. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the arrangement density of the capillary grooves 11 in the diffusion region 111 and the widths of different regions of the diffusion region 111 close to the evaporation heat absorption region 110 and the condensation heat release region 112 are further optimized, so that the structural strength of the heat conducting structure 100 can be further considered under the condition that the heat dissipation effect is considered, and no additional support structure is required to be arranged, so that the heat conducting structure 100 realizes an ultra-thin design.
