Abstract
A heat pipe includes a hollow tube, a working medium filled in the tube, and a wick structure disposed in and contacting with the tube. The wick structure is formed by weaving first wires and second wires together. The second wires each have two opposite major surfaces. A portion of one of the two major surfaces contacts with an interior wall of the tube.
Description
- The present invention relates to a heat pipe, and more specifically to a heat pipe having a better heat exchange capability by increasing contacting areas between a wick structure and an interior wall of the heat pipe.
- In nowadays, heat pipes are always used in a heat dissipating apparatus for dissipating heat generated by high frequency electronic components. Each of the heat pipes includes an evaporator section adjacent to the electronic components and a condenser section apart from the electronic components. In the heat dissipating apparatus, the heat pipes are usually received in holes disposed in a group of spaced cooling fins with the evaporator sections and the condenser sections of the heat pipes separately positioned at two ends of the group of the cooling fins, for conducting heat from the electronic components to the fins apart from the electronic components. A dissipating fan is mounted to the cooling fins for generating airflows facing to spaces formed between two adjacent cooling fins to take away the heat conducted to the cooling fins from the electronic components.
- In working procession of the heat dissipating apparatus, a tube of each heat pipe absorbs heat generated by the electronic components and conducts the heat to a wick structure contacted with an inner surface of the tube. At the evaporator section of the heat pipe, a working fluid filled in the heat pipe absorbs heat from the wick structure and the tube for evaporating itself to a steam. This increases a vapor pressure in a region of the evaporator section of the heat pipe and causes the steam to flow through a vapor space of the heat pipe toward the condenser section. Since the condenser section of the heat pipe being cooled by the cooling fins located thereat, the steam condenses in the condenser section by giving up the heat absorbed by the working fluid at the evaporator section, thereby changing the steam to a liquid. The liquid returns to the evaporator section by capillary action of the wick structure. With the heat generated by the electronic components being absorbed by the working fluid at the evaporator section of the heat pipe, and the heat being given away by the evaporated working fluid at the condenser section of the heat pipe, a circulation of the working fluid are formed in the heat pipe. The heat generated by the electronic components is continuously taken away by the working fluid of the heat pipe during the circulation.
- In this heat dissipating procession, the heat of the wick structure absorbed from the inner surface of the tube of the heat pipe acts an important influence of the heat transferring between the tube and the working fluid, and further influences the evaporating velocity of the working fluid and the heat transfer capability of the heat pipe. The additional mesh type wick structure is woven by a plurality of wires, the cross sectional of the wire is a circle. This makes a contacting area of the circular wire and the inner surface of the heat pipe to be a line. The linear contacting between the circular wire of the wick structure and the inner surface of the tube reduces the heat conducting capability of the heat pipe. So how to increase the contacting area of the wick structure and the inner surface of the heat pipe is a problem we want to solve.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heat pipe includes a hollow tube, a working medium filled in the tube, and a wick structure disposed in and contacting with the tube. The wick structure is formed by weaving a plurality of first and second wires. The second wires each have two opposite major surfaces. One of the two major surface contacts with an interior wall of the tube, whereby the wick structure has a large surface in contacting with the tube. Accordingly, heat transfer capability of the heat pipe is improved.
- Other advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a heat pipe according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein some portions of the heat pipe are cut away to show an internal structure thereof; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a wick structure of the heat pipe ofFIG. 1 in an unrolled condition; -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a circled portion ofFIG. 2 indicated by III; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of a wick structure in an unrolled condition according to another embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a view similar toFIG. 4 , showing a wick structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , aheat pipe 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes ahollow tube 12, awick structure 14 disposed in and contacting with an interior wall of thetube 12, and a working medium (not shown) filled in thetube 12. - The
tube 12 is made of a material having a good heat conductivity, so that thetube 12 can transfer a heat absorbed from a heat generating component (not shown) to thewick structure 14 and the working medium filled in thetube 12 rapidly. In this embodiment, thetube 12 is made of copper. - The working medium is made of a fluid having a lower boiling point, such as water, alcohol, kerosene, and paraffin. The
tube 12 is vacuumed. The working medium filled in thetube 12 of theheat pipe 10 can easily become vapor after absorbing heat from thetube 12. The vapor is capable of moving from an evaporator portion toward a condenser portion of thetube 12. The vapor condenses into liquid at the condenser portion. The liquid is drawn back to the evaporator portion by capillary force of thewick structure 14 of theheat pipe 10. - Also referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thewick structure 14 is formed by weaving a plurality offirst wires 141 and a plurality ofsecond wires 142 together. Thefirst wires 141 each have a rod configuration while thesecond wires 142 each has a stripe configuration. Thefirst wires 141 each have a round cross section and thesecond wires 142 each have a rectangular-shaped cross section. Thesecond wires 142 are more flexible than thefirst wires 141. After rolled and inserted into thetube 12, thefirst wires 141 extend along an axial direction of thetube 12, while thesecond wires 142 extend along a circumferential direction of thetube 12. Eachsecond wire 142 has two oppositemajor surfaces first wires 141 in an alternated manner. After rolled and inserted into thetube 12, thewick structure 14 has anouter surface 145 contacting with the interior wall of thetube 12. Theouter surface 145 is constituted by a portion of a corresponding one of the oppositemajor surfaces second wire 142 not engaging with thefirst wires 141. Since themajor surfaces second wires 142 are planar, theouter surface 145 of thewick structure 14 can have a larger area in contacting with the interior wall of thetube 12 in comparison with the prior art. This increases the heat transfer between the interior wall of thetube 12 and thewick structure 14 of theheat pipe 10, thereby improving the heat transfer capability of theheat pipe 10. - Moreover, in the present invention, since the area of the contacting surface between the
tube 12 and thewick structure 14 is increased, the heat absorbed by thetube 12 from the heat generating component can be quickly transferred to thewick structure 14 and then to the working medium. Accordingly, the evaporation speed of the working medium is increased, and the heat transfer capability of theheat pipe 10 with thiswick structure 14 is improved. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 ,wick structures 14′, 14″ in accordance with the second and third embodiments of the present invention are shown. Except the difference regarding the cross section of the first wires, the second and third embodiments are substantially the same as the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the cross section of each of thefirst wires 141′ is changed to be substantially square. In the third embodiment, the cross section of thefirst wires 141″ is changed to be I-shaped. Alternatively, the cross section of thesecond wires 142 may be in square, or I-shaped. This makes the first andsecond wires wick structure 14 have the same or two different shapes of cross sections. Thefirst wires 141 may extend along a direction defining a sharp angle with the axial direction of thetube 12, while thesecond wires 142 may extend along a direction defining a sharp angle with the circumferential direction of thetube 12. Thesecond wires 142 may have the same flexibility with thefirst wires 141. Thus, thefirst wires 141 may be in ripple-like style and intersect with thesecond wires 142. - In the present invention, the
first wires second wires 142 are made of metallic materials such as copper, aluminum, nickel, and stainless steel, which have good heat conductivity and strength. Thewick structure - In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the
wick structure tube 12 by inserting a supporting member into thetube 12. Thewick structures - It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
