    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates generally to a heat dissipation device. In the heat dissipation device, a capillary structure is formed on titanium material by means of laser processing.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • A vapor chamber is an often seen heat dissipation device applied in heat dissipation field. The vapor chamber is often made of copper, aluminum, stainless steel or the like. In manufacturing, such material is easy to cause potential difference, which will lead to corrosion. In addition, in case the conventional vapor chamber made of copper, aluminum or stainless steel is applied to a large-scale industrial apparatus, the vapor chamber often has a large volume and very heavy weight for achieving sufficient strength. In case the vapor chamber is applied to a handheld device such as an intelligent mobile phone or a tablet, the vapor chamber needs to be extremely thinned. Under such circumstance, the thickness of the vapor chamber will be too thin to have sufficient strength. Therefore, in recent years, some manufacturers have in advance employed titanium material to manufacture the heat dissipation device applied in the heat dissipation field.
  • Titanium is a lightweight metal material having high structural strength and anticorrosion property. Therefore, titanium has been widely used in various fields. Titanium has many advantages. However, titanium has high structural strength so that it is hard to process titanium.
  • Titanium cannot be processed in the conventional processing manner. Titanium necessitates a special or nontraditional processing method to process. As a result, titanium cannot be applied to all situations. Some manufacturers employ discharging method or wet etching method to process titanium and remove a part of the material. However, the processing speed of the discharging method is too slow to apply to a mass-production situation that needs to remove a great amount of material. With respect to wet etching method, it is hard to control the depth of the channels formed by the processing. In addition, the solvent and gas used in the processing are toxic and apt to cause contamination of environment. Moreover, it is quite hard to reduce the oxide produced from titanium in a high-temperature environment.
  • It is therefore tried by the applicant to provide a heat dissipation device and a manufacturing method thereof, in which titanium is employed as the material of the vapor chamber and is easy to process to form the capillary structure so as to solve the above problems existing in the conventional vapor chamber.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a heat dissipation device. The heat dissipation device is made of titanium material. A capillary structure is formed on the titanium material by means of laser processing.
  • To achieve the above and other objects, the heat dissipation device of the present invention includes a main body and a tubular body.
  • The main body has a chamber. A capillary structure is formed on an inner surface of the chamber by means of laser processing. A working fluid is contained in the chamber. One face of the main body is a condensation face, while the other face of the main body is a heat absorption face. The capillary structure is disposed corresponding to the heat absorption face. The heat absorption face of the main body is made of titanium material. The condensation face is made of titanium material or metal material. The tubular body is correspondingly inserted in the main body.
  • In the heat dissipation device of the present invention, the vapor chamber is made of titanium material instead of copper or aluminum so that the lifetime of the vapor chamber is prolonged. Moreover, the titanium material can be processed by laser to form the capillary structure. This solves the problem of the conventional vapor chamber that the titanium material is difficult to process.

  • The main body 11 has a chamber 111. A capillary structure 112 is formed on an inner surface of the chamber 111 by means of laser processing. A working fluid 2 is contained in the chamber 111. One face of the main body 11 is a condensation face 113, while the other face of the main body 11 is a heat absorption face 114. The capillary structure 112 is disposed corresponding to the heat absorption face 114. The heat absorption face 114 of the main body 11 is made of titanium material. The titanium material is commercial pure titanium or titanium alloy. The condensation face 113 is made of titanium material, metal material or ceramic material. The metal material is selected from a group consisting of gold, silver, copper, aluminum and stainless steel. The tubular body 12 is correspondingly inserted in the main body 11 in communication with the internal chamber 111 of the main body 11.
  • The main body 11 has an upper plate 11 a and a lower plate 11. The condensation face 113 is positioned on one face of the upper plate 11 a, while the heat absorption face 114 is positioned on one face of the lower plate 11 b.
