Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a process of the previous stage of the uniform temperature plate, in particular to a process for completing the setting of the aggregate in one operation step of the fixture, and realizing the mass production of the semi-finished product of the uniform temperature plate Device. [Prior Art] The temperature equalizing plate transfers heat by evaporation and condensation of the working medium, and can transfer a large amount of heat energy in a large temperature difference and a short distance, and transmits heat energy in a small temperature difference and a long distance with respect to the heat pipe. The temperature equalization plate is to further change the heat conduction of the point into the heat conduction of the surface, and has higher heat transfer characteristics, and may be widely applied in the field of heat conduction in the future. A number of related known homogenization plate processes have been proposed, for example, as shown in Figures 6a and 6b, which are reproduced in Taiwan Patent No. 1 24704 8 and disclose a "uniform coating process for micro-powdered metal films". The main steps include: Step 1: mixing a predetermined amount of metal powder with a predetermined amount of liquid; Step 2: uniformly stirring the metal powder mixture; Step 3: charging the metal powder mixture to the working area of the workpiece; Step 4: slightly shaking the working area of the workpiece; Step 5: evaporating the liquid of the metal powder mixture; Step 6: depositing metal powder on the inner bottom surface of the workpiece to form a metal powder deposition film having a deposition thickness less than 〇·1 mm Step 7: The metal powder deposited film is sintered simultaneously with the workpiece working area. 200914169 In addition, for example, Taiwan Patent Publication No. 200609478 discloses a method for manufacturing an intermediate product of a micro-smooth plate, which mainly uses a stamping process and an etching process to separately form an intermediate product and a fine structure of a micro-hydrogen plate. The processing steps of the body, etc., thereby completing the intermediate products which can be laminated to each other to form a micro-smooth plate, so as to solve the problem that the microstructure of the intermediate product of the micro-monothermal plate is not easily formed by the stamping process, and the etching process is applied to the intermediate product. The problem of excessive processing costs. At present, the reason why the technology is not widely used is that the technology at the current stage is often due to the coating process of the capillary structure and the setting of the aggregate, which consumes a large amount of manpower and the positioning of the artificially positioned aggregate is inaccurate, so that the stability of the product And reliability adds uncertainty. In addition, at this stage, it is not easy to replace manpower with consistent automatic mass production equipment. Failure to effectively save manufacturing costs has become another bottleneck.

The first embodiment of the superconducting uniform temperature plate spraying and charging process according to the present invention comprises at least the following steps: providing a plurality of workpieces having chambers, for example, a thermally conductive metal material such as a copper plate or a nickel plate. After processing, an internal space that allows the change of the gas phase I of the working medium is separately processed, and then fed at a predetermined rate via a feeding device. At a fixed point of the workpiece feeding stroke, a metal powder such as copper or nickel is dry-sprayed in a predetermined range within the workpiece by a spraying device to adhere a metal powder layer to the bottom surface of the workpiece. At another fixed point of the workpiece feed stroke, 'a plurality of metal powder ingots from a powder molding machine are delivered at a time through a feeding fixture' to form a metal at a plurality of fixed points above the metal powder layer of the workpiece Powder ingot array, etc. According to the present invention, the above process further includes a pre-step of pre-wetting the surface of the workpiece with a predetermined range of surface water or alcohol prior to dry spraying of the metal powder to provide adhesion to a predetermined range of surfaces inside the workpiece, and then Dry the metal powder. Alternatively, before the dry spraying of the metal powder, that is, after the workpiece is punched and formed, the surface of the predetermined range inside the workpiece is previously impacted by a high-speed blasting device or rubbed with a belt to form a rough surface, so that a predetermined range of surfaces inside the workpiece is better. The adhesion is then sprayed directly onto the rough surface of the metal powder. According to the present invention, the apparatus 1 for performing the above-described superconducting temperature equalizing plate spraying and placing process, as shown in Fig. 2, comprises at least: a feeding device 10, such as a conventional conveyor belt, etc. The workpiece 20 of the chamber is fed at a predetermined rate through a spray station and a loading station.
