Description
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of soaking plates, in particular to an ultrathin soaking plate, a preparation method thereof and electronic equipment.
Background
In recent years, portable electronic products are continuously developed towards high integration and miniaturization, the heat dissipation requirement of electronic chips in a limited space is higher and higher, and the development of novel efficient heat dissipation technology is crucial to the development of electronic products. The vapor chamber is used as a phase change heat transfer element to realize two-dimensional plane heat transfer, has the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency, strong vapor chamber performance, high reliability and the like, and is widely applied to various large heat dissipation fields at present. However, as the thickness of the vapor chamber is continuously reduced, particularly when the thickness is less than 3mm, the internal vapor diffusion thermal resistance is greatly increased, so that the thermal resistance is increased and the heat transfer limit is obviously reduced. In addition, the ultra-thin vapor chamber makes the manufacturing process complicated, increases the manufacturing cost, and reduces the overall mechanical strength. The wick serves as a core component of the vapor chamber and mainly plays a role in transporting condensed liquid to an evaporation center through capillary action. When condensate cannot flow back to the evaporation center in time and local burn-out occurs, the vapor chamber reaches the capillary limit. Therefore, the wick structure determines the critical heat flux density of the ultra-thin soaking plate to a large extent.
The traditional single-aperture liquid suction core structure is difficult to meet the design requirements of large capillary force and high permeability, and a great number of students have carried out a lot of work on the structural design and optimization of the liquid suction core, such as the heat transfer limit of a vapor chamber is improved through the technologies of a homogeneous/heterogeneous composite liquid suction core, a double-layer evaporation end liquid suction core, a nano liquid suction core and the like. However, the complex composite structure and the nano technology are not beneficial to the ultrathin development of the vapor chamber, and the manufacturing cost is increased, so that the mass industrial production of the ultrathin vapor chamber is not beneficial. In view of the above, the existing ultrathin vapor chamber still has a plurality of defects, and the design of the ultrathin vapor chamber with excellent heat transfer performance, easy processing and manufacturing and high mechanical strength is still a very important and significant research topic at present.

The thickness of the wick structure 3 may be, for example, 0.1mm to 0.7mm.
The material of the upper shell plate 1 and the lower shell plate 4 includes a heat conductive and solderable metal or an alloy of a metal composition, such as one of a metal having good heat conductivity and solderability such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and the like, and an alloy thereof. The thickness of the lower shell plate 4 may be, for example, 0.05mm to 0.2mm.
Furthermore, the working medium for ultra-thin vapor chamber operation based on ultra-hydrophilic gradient wicks may comprise, for example, one or more mixtures of the following materials: deionized water, acetone, methanol, ethanol, FC-72, ammonia, freon, and the like.

In addition, a material with a proper mesh number can be selected according to actual needs to obtain the wick structure with different gradient distribution in the vertical direction, which is not limited herein.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, the wick structure 3 obtained by the sintering process may be immersed in a hydrogen peroxide solution having a concentration of 15% for 4 hours, thereby generating a layer of super-hydrophilic nanostructures on the surface of the wick structure 3. It should be noted that, the method for forming the super-hydrophilic nano-layer on the surface of the wick structure 3 is not limited to the above-described manner, and other suitable manners may be adopted, and is not particularly limited.
In operation S703, the wick structure 3 is sintered on the upper-shell plate 1.

According to the scheme, the preparation of the liquid suction core structure is realized in a simple and efficient mode, the ultrathin limited space is efficiently utilized, the steam diffusion space is effectively increased, the gas-liquid flow resistance is reduced, the gas-liquid two-phase conversion efficiency is increased, the heat transfer resistance is reduced, and the temperature uniformity and the heat transfer efficiency of the ultrathin vapor chamber are improved. In addition, the upper surface and the lower surface of the integrated super-hydrophilic gradient liquid suction core structure are used for supporting the upper shell plate and the lower shell plate, support columns are not needed, the preparation process is simplified, and the mechanical performance is effectively improved.
It should be noted that, although the steps of the method are described above in a specific order, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the steps may be performed in other orders as needed.
