Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a heat-conducting module and a method for manufacturing the same. Particularly, the present invention relates to a heat-conducting module which is made by using molten metallic materials to cover aluminum-skinned heat pipes via a die casting process and a method for manufacturing the same.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- Heat-conducting elements such as heat pipes are used to dissipate heat or transfer heat. The interior of the heat pipe is made to be vacuumed. A working fluid is filled into the heat pipe to generate a phase change therein. When the working fluid is heated, it evaporates to become vapors, thereby carrying away the heat. Then, the vapor phase of the working fluid condenses to return its liquid phase and to circulate in the heat pipe. In order to manufacture a plate-type heat pipe, conventionally, a plurality of heat pipes is disposed in a solid or hollow metallic plate. Alternatively, a tubular heat pipe is rolled or pressed to form a plate-type heat pipe.
- However, the strength of the conventional plate-type heat pipe is insufficient. Further, it is difficult for heat-dissipating elements such as fins to be provided on the conventional plate-type heat pipe. As for the plate-type heat pipe formed by covering heat pipes by a solid or hollow metallic plate, it is an important issue to consider the thermal resistance generated by the gap between the heat pipe and the metallic plate. As for the plate-type heat pipe made by heat pipes penetrating into a solid metallic plate, it is difficult to control the tolerance between the penetrating heat pipe and the metallic plate. If the tolerance is larger, a gap will be formed between the heat pipe and the metallic plate, and thus a heat-conducting medium has to be applied in this gap. If the tolerance is smaller, the penetration of the heat pipe into the metallic plate becomes more difficult. As for the plate-type heat pipe made by embedding heat pipes in a metallic plate, the heat transfer effect between the heat pipe and the metallic plate will be deteriorated because the metallic plate is made of a material (aluminum) different from the material (copper) of the heat pipe.
- The present invention provides a heat-conducting module and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat-conducting module is made by using molten metallic materials to cover at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe by a die casting process. More specifically, the heat-conducting module employs the aluminum material as a heat-conducting medium because the aluminum material can generate a good heat-dissipating effect and a better heat transfer effect. On the other hand, the heat-conducting module of the present invention is chemically stable and thus will not be separated or explored easily. Further, it has a better corrosion resistance.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a heat-conducting module, including steps of:
- a) putting a hollow aluminum tube on a heat pipe to make an aluminum-skinned heat pipe;
- b) disposing at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe into a casting space of a die casting mold;
- c) filling aluminum materials in the casting space of the die casting mold to form a heat-conducting module, wherein the heat-conducting module includes an aluminum base and at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe, the aluminum base covers the at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe;
- wherein the aluminum materials are melted to cover the at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe by a die casting process, thereby obtaining the heat-conducting module.
- In another aspect, the present invention provides a heat-conducting module including an aluminum base and at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe disposed in the aluminum base, wherein the aluminum-skinned heat pipe comprises a heat pipe and an aluminum tube tightly covering the heat pipe.

The present invention provides a heat-conducting module and a method for manufacturing the same. The interior of the heat-conductingmodule 1 is embedded with at least one aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11. Each aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11 comprises ahollow aluminum tube 110 and aheat pipe 111. Thehollow aluminum tube 110 is put on theheat pipe 111 to form the aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11. The heat-conductingmodule 1 includes analuminum base 10 and at least one aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11, wherein thealuminum heat pipes 11 are provided in thealuminum base 10 at intervals. - Please also refer to
FIGS. 2 and 3 . The method of the present invention has steps as follows. First, in the step 51 shown inFIG. 2 , at least oneheat pipe 111 and ahollow aluminum tube 110 corresponding to theheat pipe 111 are prepared to form an aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11. In the present embodiment, preferably, there are a plurality of aluminum-skinnedheat pipes 11. Thus, eachheat pipe 111 has a correspondinghollow aluminum tube 110. Further, the inner diameter of eachhollow aluminum tube 110 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of thecorresponding heat pipe 111, so that thehollow aluminum tube 110 can be put on theheat pipe 111. Thehollow aluminum tube 110 may be made of aluminum-based metals or alloys thereof Alternatively, thehollow aluminum tube 110 may be made of the same material as thealuminum base 10. - Please also refer to
FIGS. 3 to 6 . In the steps S1-1 to S1-2 shown inFIG. 2 of the present embodiment, the aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11 can be made by the following process. First, one end of thehollow aluminum tube 110 is fixed onto amounting base 3, and the other end of thehollow aluminum tube 110 is fixed to amovable stage 4. In the beginning, themovable stage 4 moves in a direction away from themounting base 3, thereby drawing thehollow aluminum tube 110. In this way, the length “l” of thehollow aluminum tube 110 is increased, and the diameter “d” of thehollow aluminum tube 110 is reduced, so that thehollow aluminum tube 110 can cover theheat pipe 111 to form the aluminum-skinnedheat pipe 11. - After the drawing process, the aluminum-skinned
heat pipe 11 is taken off from themounting base 3 and themovable stage 4. Then, both ends of the aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 are sealed. More specifically, two aluminum sealing heads 112 are used to seal two ends 113 of thehollow aluminum tube 110, so that theheat pipe 111 is completely covered by thehollow aluminum tube 110. Thealuminum sealing head 112 may be made of the same material as that of thehollow aluminum tube 110 or thealuminum base 10. - Next, please also refer to
FIG. 7 . In the step S2 shown inFIG. 2 , the at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 is disposed in adie casting mold 2. In the present embodiment, thedie casting mold 2 includes afirst mold part 20 and asecond mold part 21. After thefirst mold part 20 and thesecond mold part 21 are brought into tight contact with each other, thedie casting space 22 is formed in thedie casting mold 2. In thedie casting space 22, thealuminum base 10 of the heat-conductingmodule 1 is formed. - Finally, please also refer to
FIG. 8 . In the step S3 shown inFIG. 2 , the aluminum material is filled in thedie casting space 22 of thedie casting mold 2, thereby forming thealuminum base 10 in thedie casting space 22. In this way, the aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 is covered inside thealuminum base 10 to form the heat-conductingmodule 1 as shown inFIG. 9 . In other words, the heat-conductingmodule 1 is formed by covering at least one aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 by a die casting process. - In the thus-formed heat-conducting
module 1 made by covering the aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 with molten metallic materials, since thehollow aluminum tube 110 acts as an aluminum skin to cover theheat pipe 111, a good heat-dissipating effect and a better heat transfer effect can be achieved between the aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 and thealuminum base 10. On the other hand, since the heat-conductingmodule 1 is made by using a die casting process to cover the aluminum-skinned heat pipe 11 with molten metallic materials, the present invention has a better corrosion resistance. - Therefore, with the above method, the heat-conducting module of the present invention can be obtained.
- Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiment, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various equivalent variations and modifications can still occur to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention.
