Based on the above examples, both spherical copper powder and dendritic copper powder may be intermixed within the above particle size ranges, so that the capillary layer produced may achieve a suitable range of porosities as well as porosities. And simultaneously, the surface melting of the copper powder particles is facilitated by controlling the heat treatment temperature, so that the bonding of two adjacent copper powder particles is facilitated.

Based on the above examples, spherical copper powder in a plurality of particle size ranges was mixed, and when spherical copper powder particles of large particle size failed to enter a certain gap, spherical copper powder of small particle size could enter the gap to tune the pore size. The spherical copper powder particles with various particle diameters can be adaptively embedded between dendritic copper powder particles with the particle diameter ranging from 3 mu m to 5 mu m by dividing the particle diameter range of the spherical copper powder into the three ranges and adding the spherical copper powder particles according to a certain proportion, so that the pore size and the porosity of the prepared capillary layer can be better tuned.
In some exemplary embodiments, the percentage of the mixed copper powder disposed on the flow channel wall surface that occupies the flow channel cross section of the heat dissipating substrate surface is in the range of 1.5% to 4%.
Based on the embodiment, the capillary layer prepared under the copper powder particle ratio range can obtain a proper specific surface area, so that the capillary layer can obtain a good mass transfer power, and meanwhile, the capillary layer cannot occupy too much flow channel space too much.

Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
The inventor finds that the capillary structure of the soaking plate in the related art is prepared by mixing various raw materials, so that a good heat dissipation effect is difficult to obtain, and the soaking plate is unfavorable for developing toward miniaturization, so that the application provides a surface treatment method of the soaking plate to solve the problems in the soaking plate.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for treating the surface of the soaking plate according to an embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:
s101, obtaining mixed copper powder, wherein the mixed copper powder comprises spherical copper powder and dendritic copper powder.
The dendritic copper powder is of a structure with a raised or branched surface, and can be prepared by an electrolytic method, for example, the electrolytic method can adopt highly polished stainless steel as a cathode and an electrolytic copper plate as an anode, electrolyte can be sulfate solution, simple substance copper on the electrolytic copper plate is migrated to a stainless steel plate by applying voltage to the cathode and the anode, and the stainless steel plate is taken out to scrape the simple substance copper to prepare the dendritic copper powder.
The spherical copper powder is in the form of particles having a smooth surface, and can be produced by atomization, for example, by placing a copper liquid in a molten state in a container, allowing the copper liquid to flow down from a small hole in the bottom of the container, providing a high-pressure nozzle at the outlet of the small hole, blowing off the copper liquid flowing out of the small hole by the high-pressure nozzle, and providing a cooling liquid nozzle in the vicinity of the high-pressure nozzle, and rapidly cooling the blown-off copper liquid, thereby producing spherical copper powder having a fixed form.
And uniformly mixing the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder according to a preset proportion to obtain the required mixed copper powder.
S102, setting the mixed copper powder on a runner wall surface with preset roughness in the heat dissipation substrate.
The wall surface of the cooling plate forming the flow channel has roughness, so that the mixed copper powder can be adhered to the wall surface of the flow channel. The copper powder may partially cover the flow channel wall or entirely cover the flow channel wall. Preferably, the mixed copper powder can fully cover the wall surface of the runner so as to increase the specific surface area of the mixed copper powder filled in the runner.
S103, performing heat treatment on the heat dissipation substrate until the mixed copper powder is melted and mutually adhered on the surface of the runner to form a capillary layer.
In the heat treatment process, the heat treatment temperature and the heat treatment time can be regulated and controlled, so that the surface layers of single copper powder particles of the mixed copper powder are melted first, and the surface layers of two adjacent copper powder particles can be bonded with each other. It should be noted that the heat treatment temperature and the heat treatment time are controlled at the same time, so that the single copper powder particles are prevented from being completely melted to be in a liquid state and flowing randomly, and gaps can still exist between two adjacent copper powder particles.
According to the processing method of the vapor chamber, provided by the embodiment of the application, the mixed copper powder is filled in the flow channel on the surface of the vapor chamber heat dissipation substrate, so that the mixed copper powder is melted to form a capillary structure, and the capillary structure prepared from the copper powder can achieve the purpose of accelerating the diffusion of a liquid working medium. The mixed copper powder is only prepared from copper materials, and copper has better heat conduction efficiency, so that the capillary layer prepared from copper powder can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber, and other filling media for preparing the capillary layer are not needed to be added, so that the thickness of the vapor chamber can be further thinned. The dendritic copper powder is provided with branches or bulges, and the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder are convenient to mutually support to form a porous structure after being mixed. In addition, the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder have small particle sizes, the specific surface area of the prepared capillary layer is easy to be increased after the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder are mixed with each other, and the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder are easy to be bonded with each other after being melted, so that a stable capillary layer can be formed after the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder are cooled.
The specific surface area of the capillary layer is increased, the mass transfer power of the capillary layer to the liquid working medium can be effectively improved, copper powder particles with smaller particle size range can be selected, meanwhile, the wall surface of the runner is provided with roughness, and the copper powder particles with small particle size are convenient to adhere to the rough wall surface of the runner. In some exemplary embodiments, the flow channel walls are lined with grooves, and the mixed copper powder is embedded on the inner walls of the grooves of the flow channel walls. The groove width of the groove may range from 20 μm to 150 μm, for example, the groove width of the groove may range from 20 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, etc., and the groove depth of the groove may range from 20 μm to 200 μm, for example, the groove depth may range from 20 μm, 60 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, etc. In the above size range, copper powder particles can be easily attached, and a copper capillary layer formed after heat treatment can be easily attached to the wall surface of the flow channel stably. When the size of the groove on the wall surface of the runner is smaller than the lower limit of the size range, the wall surface of the runner is too smooth, so that copper powder particles are difficult to attach, and the copper powder particles can fall off from the wall surface of the runner under the action of slight external force, so that the uniformity of the capillary layer manufactured by final processing is difficult to control. When the size of the groove on the wall surface of the runner is larger than the upper limit of the size range, the wall surface of the runner is too rough, and the copper powder particles can be ensured to be stably attached to the wall surface of the runner, but the roughness is too large, so that a rough layer occupies more installation space, and the thickness of the vapor chamber is not beneficial to thinning.
Because the surfaces of the single dendritic copper powder particles are provided with bulges or branches, the adjacent two dendritic copper powder particles are difficult to be compactly arranged, and the pore size and the porosity between the adjacent two dendritic copper powder particles are large. The surfaces of the single spherical copper powder particles are smooth, and the adjacent spherical copper powder particles are compactly arranged in a sliding manner, so that the pore size and the porosity between the adjacent spherical copper powder particles are smaller. The larger or smaller pore size and porosity are not beneficial to the pumping capacity of the finally prepared capillary layer on the liquid working medium. As shown in fig. 2, both dendritic copper powder particles 120 and spherical copper powder particles 110 are mixed such that spherical copper powder particles 110 may be embedded between protrusions or branches 121 of dendritic copper powder particles 120, effectively filling the interstices between dendritic copper powder particles 120, thereby facilitating the tuning of the pore size and porosity of the resulting capillary layer.
In some exemplary embodiments, the mass mixing ratio of dendritic copper powder to spherical copper powder ranges from 6.2 to 7.4:3.8 to 2.6. For example, the mass mixing ratio of dendritic copper powder to spherical copper powder may be 6.2:3.8, 6.8:3.2 or 7.4:
2.6, etc. In the mass ratio range, dendritic copper powder particles are mutually supported, spherical copper powder particles are embedded in gaps among the dendritic copper powder particles, and the dendritic copper powder particles and the spherical copper powder particles are mutually matched, so that mixed copper powder with proper pore size and porosity is obtained. The dendritic copper powder is more convenient to form a porous structure by using the spherical copper powder, and the capillary layer is facilitated to build up. When the mass mixing ratio of the dendritic copper powder to the spherical copper powder is smaller than the above range, the amount of spherical copper powder particles is too large, resulting in too low porosity of the finally produced capillary layer. When the mass mixing ratio of the dendritic copper powder to the spherical copper powder is larger than the above ratio range, the dosage of the dendritic copper powder particles is too large, the spherical copper powder particles are difficult to meet the filling requirement, and the porosity of the finally obtained capillary layer is too large.
The size of the individual dendritic copper particles and the individual spherical copper particles will also determine the pore size and porosity of the pores within the resulting capillary layer. In some exemplary embodiments, the particle size of the spherical copper powder ranges from 600 mesh to 2000 mesh, for example, the particle size of the spherical copper powder may be 600 mesh, 800 mesh, 1000 mesh, 1500 mesh, 2000 mesh, or the like. The particle diameter of the dendritic copper powder is in the range of 3 μm to 5 μm, for example, the particle diameter of the dendritic copper powder may be in the range of 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, or the like. In the above particle size range, both the spherical copper powder and the dendritic copper powder may be intermixed so that the capillary layer produced may achieve a suitable range of pore sizes and porosities. And simultaneously, the heat treatment temperature is convenient to control so as to melt the surfaces of the copper powder particles, so that the adjacent two copper powder particles are convenient to bond.
Further, dendritic copper powder with single particle size can be selected, dendritic copper powder with a preset particle size range can also be selected, and in consideration of the great difficulty of adopting an electrolytic method to prepare the dendritic copper powder with single particle size, in the embodiment of the application, mixed dendritic copper powder with the particle size range of 3-5 μm is selected, so that dendritic copper powder particles with smaller particle size and dendritic copper powder particles with larger particle size are mutually embedded, and gaps between two adjacent dendritic copper powder particles are tuned.
Similarly, spherical copper powder with a single particle size can be selected, and spherical copper powder with a preset particle size range can also be selected. In some exemplary embodiments, the spherical copper powder includes first particles in a first particle size range, second particles in a second particle size range, and third particles in a third particle size range, the first, second, and third particle size ranges being 600 mesh to 800 mesh, 800 mesh to 1000 mesh, 1000 mesh to 2000 mesh, respectively; the mass mixing ratio of the first particles, the second particles, and the third particles in the spherical copper powder ranges from 6:1 to 3:1 to 3, for example, the mass mixing ratio of the first particles, the second particles, and the third particles may be 6:1: 3. 6:2:2 or 6:3:1. the spherical copper powder in various particle size ranges is mixed, and when spherical copper powder particles with large particle size cannot enter a certain gap, spherical copper powder with small particle size can enter the gap to tune the pore size. The spherical copper powder particles with various particle diameters can be adaptively embedded between dendritic copper powder particles with the particle diameter ranging from 3 mu m to 5 mu m by dividing the particle diameter range of the spherical copper powder into the three ranges and adding the spherical copper powder particles according to a certain proportion, so that the pore size and the porosity of the prepared capillary layer can be better tuned.
The mixed copper powder can be partially covered on the wall surface of the runner, and the mixed copper powder can also be completely covered on the wall surface of the runner, preferably, the mixed copper powder is completely covered on the wall surface of the runner, so that the contact area of the finally prepared capillary layer and the liquid working medium can be increased, and the mass transfer power is improved. On the basis that the mixed copper powder is fully covered on the wall surface of the flow channel, in some exemplary embodiments, the percentage of the mixed copper powder on the wall surface of the flow channel to occupy the flow channel cross section of the surface of the heat dissipation substrate ranges from 1.5% to 4%. It can be understood that after the two heat dissipation substrates are pressed together, the two flow channels on the two heat dissipation substrates can be butted to form a heat dissipation channel, and the percentage of the mixed copper powder occupying the cross section of the heat dissipation channel ranges from 3% to 8%, for example, the percentage of the mixed copper powder occupying the cross section of the heat dissipation channel can be 3%, 6% or 8%. The capillary layer prepared under the copper powder particle occupying ratio range can enable the capillary layer to obtain a proper specific surface area, so that the capillary layer can obtain a good mass transfer power, and meanwhile, the capillary layer cannot occupy too much flow passage space too much.
In some exemplary embodiments, after cooling the heat-treated heat-dissipating substrate, the hot-melted copper powder mixture may adhere to each other on the surface of the flow channel to form a capillary layer. Specifically, the heat treatment process may be to send the heat dissipating substrate into a sintering furnace for heat treatment, wherein the temperature range of the inlet and outlet of the sintering furnace is 500-600 ℃, the temperature range of the constant temperature section is 650-800 ℃, the time range of the constant temperature section is 20-30 min, and the total treatment time range of the heat dissipating substrate in the sintering furnace is 50-60 min. The hot melting of the mixed copper powder is carried out in a constant temperature stage, the temperature range of the constant temperature stage is 650-800 ℃, the constant temperature time range is 20-30 min, and the whole time range of a soaking plate in a sintering furnace is controlled to be 50-60 min, so that the surface layers of the mixed copper powder particles are hot melted to be mutually bonded, and meanwhile, the prepared capillary layer is not collapsed caused by the fact that the copper powder particles are hot melted to be liquefied.
The embodiment of the application also provides a processing method of the vapor chamber, wherein the vapor chamber can comprise two heat dissipation substrates made of metal materials, and a heat dissipation channel is formed in the heat dissipation substrates after the two heat dissipation substrates are pressed together. For example, the two heat dissipation substrates may be aluminum heat dissipation substrates or copper heat dissipation substrates, or one of the two heat dissipation substrates is copper heat dissipation substrate and the other is aluminum heat dissipation substrate. The mixed copper powder can be arranged on the wall surface of the flow channel formed by the heat dissipation substrates before the two heat dissipation substrates are pressed, and the mixed copper powder can also be arranged on the wall surface of the flow channel between the two heat dissipation substrates after the two heat dissipation substrates are pressed.
When the mixed copper powder is disposed on the wall surface of the flow channel of the heat dissipation substrate before the two heat dissipation substrates are pressed together, referring to fig. 3 to 5, in some exemplary embodiments, the processing method of the heat dissipation substrate may include the following steps:
s201, two heat dissipation substrates 210 are provided, a runner 220 with a preset shape is etched on the surface of the heat dissipation substrate 210, and the wall surface of the runner 220 is processed to a preset roughness, so that a rough layer 230 is formed on the surface of the runner 220.
The wall surface of the flow channel 220 may be treated by plasma bombardment, etc. to process the wall surface of the flow channel 220 to a predetermined roughness.
And S202, arranging the mixed copper powder 240 on the wall surface of the flow channel 220 with preset roughness.
In the embodiment of the application, the mixed copper powder with smaller particle size is selected, and the mixed copper powder 240 is coated on the wall surface of the flow channel 220 with preset roughness, so that copper powder particles can be hung up, and light weight falling deposition can be avoided. The mixed copper powder 240 can be arranged on the wall surface of the flow channel by brushing, spraying and the like. If necessary, the uniform and stable wind speed can be adopted for blowing and sucking, and the mixed copper powder with the unattached surface layer is removed, so that the uniformity of the prepared capillary layer is prevented from being influenced by the deposition of the mixed copper powder with the unattached surface layer under the action of gravity in the process of moving the heat dissipation substrate.
S203, one of the two heat dissipation substrates 210 is covered on the other heat dissipation substrate, the runners 220 on the two heat dissipation substrates 210 are butted to form a heat dissipation channel 250, and the mixed copper powder 240 on the wall surfaces of the two runners 220 are butted to fully distribute the mixed copper powder 240 on the wall surfaces of the heat dissipation channel 250, so that the capillary layer is fully distributed on the whole wall surface of the heat dissipation channel 250, and the mass transfer power of the capillary layer is improved.
S204, pressing and shaping the two heat dissipation substrates 210.
The heat treatment may be performed before the two heat dissipation substrates 210 are pressed together, or may be performed after the two heat dissipation substrates 210 are pressed together and before shaping. For example, after the two heat dissipation substrates 210 are processed to form the runner 220, the mixed copper powder 240 is respectively disposed on the wall surfaces of the runner 220, and then the two heat dissipation substrates 210 with the mixed copper powder 240 are directly subjected to heat treatment, so that the mixed copper powder 240 forms a capillary layer with stable structure on the wall surfaces of the runner 220, and then the two heat dissipation substrates 210 are pressed and shaped, so that the uniformity and stability of the prepared capillary layer are improved.
As shown in fig. 6, the process of shaping the laminated heat dissipating substrate 210 may include disposing liquid filling pipes 270 at two ends of the heat dissipating channel 250, where the liquid filling pipes 270 form the inlet 251 of the heat dissipating channel 250. The liquid working medium for heat transfer is poured into the heat radiation channel 250 from the inlet 251, and then the inlet 251 is closed to seal the liquid working medium. The liquid working medium may be partially filled in the heat dissipation channel 250 to provide a space for the liquid working medium to perform gas-liquid conversion. The liquid working medium may be, but is not limited to, water, liquid nitrogen, ammonia, isobutane, acetone, methanol, ethanol, HFC refrigerants, etc.
After the liquid working medium is poured, the liquid filling pipe 270 is used for vacuumizing the heat dissipation channel 250 filled with the liquid working medium, gas in the heat dissipation channel 250 is removed, and then the liquid filling pipe 270 is closed, so that the heat dissipation channel 250 is in a negative pressure environment, the gas-liquid conversion of the liquid working medium is facilitated, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.

As can be seen from the results in table 4, the capillary layers in the 9 soaking plates prepared in the above examples all have the ability to suck deionized water. When the mixed copper powder of the formula C occupies 5% of the cross section of the flow channel, the prepared capillary layer has the best pumping capacity for deionized water, which indicates that the capillary layer has the best mass transfer capacity for deionized water, and the capillary layer can be applied to the vapor chamber to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber.
Referring to fig. 8, the soaking plate 200 may include a heat dissipating substrate and a capillary layer 290.
The surface of the heat dissipation substrate is provided with a flow passage, and the wall surface of the flow passage has preset roughness. Specifically, the heat dissipation substrate includes two metal heat dissipation substrates 210, flow channels are etched on the surfaces of the two metal heat dissipation substrates 210, the wall surfaces of the flow channels are processed to have a predetermined roughness, and after the two metal heat dissipation substrates 210 are pressed together, the flow channels on the two metal heat dissipation substrates 210 form the heat dissipation channel 250.
The capillary layer 290 is arranged on the wall surface of the runner 250 with preset roughness, and the capillary layer 290 is a porous capillary layer formed by heat treatment, hot melting and mutual bonding of mixed copper powder, wherein the mixed copper powder comprises dendritic copper powder and spherical copper powder.
The vapor chamber 200 further comprises a liquid working medium 280 arranged in the heat dissipation channel 250, a part of the capillary layer 290 is immersed in the liquid working medium 280, the capillary layer 290 sucks the liquid working medium 280 for diffusion, and under the condition that external heat is received, the capillary layer 290 sucks the liquid working medium 280 to promote the liquid working medium 280 to rapidly perform gas-liquid conversion, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber 200 is improved.
The two ends of the flow channel in the vapor chamber 200 can be sealed, and the interior of the flow channel is in a negative pressure state, so that the gasification temperature of the liquid working medium 280 is reduced, the mass transfer power is improved, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber 200 is further improved.
According to the vapor chamber 200 provided by the embodiment of the application, dendritic copper powder and spherical copper powder are mixed and then arranged on the wall surface of the heat dissipation channel 250, and the capillary layer 290 is formed on the wall surface of the heat dissipation channel 250 after being melted, so that the heat transfer efficiency of the liquid working medium 280 in the flow channel can be improved through the capillary layer 290 made of copper powder, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the vapor chamber 200 is further improved. Under the same heat dissipation efficiency, the capillary layer 290 is made of copper material only, so that the space occupied by the capillary layer 290 can be effectively reduced, and the purpose of thinning the thickness of the soaking plate 200 can be achieved.
The embodiment of the application also provides an electronic device, which comprises a device main body and a soaking plate 200, wherein the soaking plate 200 can be installed in the device main body, and the soaking plate 200 is manufactured by the processing method of the soaking plate.
Based on the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application, on the basis that the soaking plate 200 has better heat transfer efficiency, the electronic device provided with the soaking plate 200 also has better heat dissipation effect. The capillary layer of the vapor chamber 200 is made of copper only, so that the requirement of thinning the thickness of the vapor chamber can be met, and the requirement of miniaturization design of the electronic device can be further met.
