Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the heat pipe to be superior in efficiency of heat transfer and prevent drying-out of an evaporation part by providing an upward projected chamber on the righthand end part of a container, setting a partition wall on which a gasiform working liquid pass part is formed on the lefthand end part thereof and a reliquefaction working liquid pass part is shaped on the lefthand end part thereof and sealing the working liquid in an lower part than the partition wall. CONSTITUTION:An evaporation part 1A is heated to evaporate working liquid 2 in the evaporation part 1A and a gasiform working liquid enters a horizontal passage 7 upward of a partition wall 9 through a gasiform working liquid pass part 11 to allow the working liquid to flow on the righthand side through the passage 7. The gasiform working liquid enters an upward projected chamber 16, in which the heat the gasiform working liquid has is radiated into the outside through a condensation part 1B circumference wall and radiation fins 3 to reliquefy the gasiform working liquid. The reliquefied working liquid 2 is allowed to flow down in a lower horizontal passage 8 than the partition wall 9 through a reliquefaction working liquid pass part 12 to return to the evaporation part 1A through it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention For example, heat pipes used in audio equipment, etc. are often forced to be installed almost horizontally due to space constraints. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to flow to the side, resulting in a decrease in heat transfer performance. Furthermore, if the gaseous working fluid generated in the evaporator becomes difficult to flow toward the condensing section, the pressure of the gaseous working fluid may cause the working fluid to move toward the condensing section, potentially causing dryout.

Means for Solving the Problems A heat pipe according to the present invention is a heat pipe that has a horizontal straight tubular container and a working fluid sealed in the container, and has an upwardly protruding chamber in a predetermined length portion at the right end of the container. A partition wall is provided in the container, which partitions the inside of the container into an upper and lower part, and has a gaseous working fluid passage section at the left end and a reliquefied working fluid passage section at the right end. The liquid is sealed in a portion of the container below the partition wall.

Function: Since the heat pipe according to the present invention is configured as described above, the gaseous working fluid generated in the evaporation section passes through the gaseous working fluid passing section formed at the left end of the partition wall and flows through the partition wall. It enters the upper part, flows through it to the right, and further enters the upward projecting chamber, where the heat of the gaseous working fluid is radiated to the outside through the peripheral wall of the container and reliquefied. Then, the reliquefied hydraulic fluid passes through the reliquefied hydraulic fluid passage section, enters the lower part of the partition wall, passes therethrough, and flows to the left side.
Return to the evaporation section. Therefore, the hydraulic fluid circulates smoothly within the container. Furthermore, since the gaseous working fluid is configured to condense in the upwardly projecting chamber of the container, the heat radiation area is larger and the amount of heat radiation is increased compared to a heat pipe having a straight container.
