- Regarding a heat pipe according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the wick is joined to an upper wall and a lower wall of the container.
- According to one or more embodiments, the wick is securely fixed in the container. Thereby, for example, even in a case where the heat pipe is bent, the wick transfers in the width direction within the container, and it is possible to prevent the gap from becoming narrow.
- Regarding a heat pipe according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the liquid reservoir of the working fluid, which is extended in the longitudinal direction, is formed inside of the wick, and a width of the liquid reservoir in a width direction which is orthogonal to both of the longitudinal direction and an up-down direction is smaller than a width of a portion of the wick which is adjacent to the liquid reservoir.
- According to one or more embodiments, the width of the liquid reservoir is narrow to a certain extent, thereby, it is possible to cause capillary force to act on the working fluid of the liquid phase in the liquid reservoir. Therefore, due to the capillary force, it is possible to more smoothly recirculate the working fluid of the liquid phase in the liquid reservoir to the high temperature portion side from the low temperature portion side.
- According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to improve efficiency of heat transport, without increasing an occupied area of a heat pipe.

FIG. 2A is a sectional view of the heat pipe taken along A-A arrow inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 2B is a sectional view of the heat pipe taken along B-B arrow inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an uneven portion according to Modification Examples in a plane which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction. - Hereinafter, a configuration of a heat pipe according to one or more embodiments will be described with reference to
FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 . In each drawing which is used in the following description, in order to make a shape of each member have a recognizable size, the scale thereof is appropriately changed. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , a heat pipe 1 includes acontainer 2 into which a working fluid is sealed, and awick 3 that is provided on an inside of thecontainer 2. - Here, in the present embodiments, a positional relationship of each configuration will be described by setting an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system. An X direction is a longitudinal direction in which the heat pipe 1 and the
container 2 extend. The heat pipe 1 is formed into a flat shape of which a thickness is small in a Z direction, and a width is large in a Y direction, in a cross sectional view which is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Hereinafter, the X direction is referred to as a longitudinal direction, the Y direction is referred to as a width direction, and the Z direction is referred to as an up-down direction. - The inside of the
container 2 is hollow, and is hermetically sealed. It is possible to appropriately select a material of thecontainer 2, by conditions such as a kind of the working fluid and a working temperature. In particular, in a case where a metal material such as copper or aluminum of which heat conductivity is high is used, it is possible to enhance heat transportability or heat diffusibility. It is possible to form thecontainer 2, for example, using a metal tube such as a copper tube, an aluminum tube, or a stainless tube. - The
container 2 is formed into the flat shape of which the width in the width direction which is orthogonal to both of the up-down direction and the longitudinal direction is larger than the thickness of the up-down direction. As an example of the size of thecontainer 2, the width of the width direction is approximately 7 mm, a length of the longitudinal direction is approximately 100 mm, a height of the up-down direction of an internal space is approximately 0.27 mm, and a wall thickness is approximately 0.08 mm. - On the inside of the
wick 3, a large number of fine pores which cause capillary force to be generated are formed. As a material of thewick 3, for example, it is possible to use a sintered body (porous sintered body) of a metal extra fine wire fiber, a metal mesh, and metal powder. In a case where thewick 3 is formed of a mesh material such as metal, it is possible to easily form thewick 3, even if thewick 3 has a complicated shape, for example, from a plate-shaped mesh material with die cutting. In a case where thewick 3 is formed of the sintered body of the metal powder, the size of the fine pore is capable of being made further smaller, and it is possible to enhance the heat transportability by causing the high capillary force to be generated. - The fine pore in the
wick 3 is impregnated with the working fluid. The working fluid is a fluid which is capable of being evaporated by heating, and being condensed by heat radiation. It is possible to appropriately select the kind of the working fluid in accordance with the temperature at which the heat pipe 1 is used, or the like. As a working fluid, for example, it is possible to use water, alcohol, alternative freon, or the like. The working fluid may be sealed into the inside of thecontainer 2, for example, in a state in which non-condensable gas such as air is degassed from the inside of thecontainer 2 in a vacuum chamber. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thewick 3 is disposed along the longitudinal direction in thecontainer 2. - In the width direction, the width of the
wick 3 is smaller than the width of thecontainer 2, and thewick 3 is disposed at a center portion of the width direction of thecontainer 2. Therefore, a gap S is formed in the width direction, between an external surface of thewick 3 and an internal surface of thecontainer 2. The gaps S are provided on both sides in the width direction of thewick 3, and are extended in the longitudinal direction. The gap S becomes a circulation path for the working fluid of a gas phase. The width of the gap S in the width direction is, for example, approximately 1.7 mm. - The
wick 3 is partially melted by being sintered in thecontainer 2, and is fixed to the internal surface of thecontainer 2. In more detail, as shown inFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thewick 3 is joined to anupper wall 2 a and alower wall 2 b of thecontainer 2. For example, in a state in which thewick 3 is disposed in thecontainer 2, thecontainer 2 is deformed by being compressed in the up-down direction, and thewick 3 is interposed between theupper wall 2 a and thelower wall 2 b of thecontainer 2, thereby, thewick 3 may be fixed. - Here, in the present embodiments, as shown in
FIG. 1 , a plurality ofconcave portions 3 a 1 which become depressed in the width direction are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction, on the external surface of thewick 3. Thereby, anuneven portion 3 a is formed on the external surface of thewick 3, the external surface forming the gap S. Hereinafter, a portion except for theconcave portion 3 a 1 is referred to as aprojection portion 3 a 2, within theuneven portion 3 a. Theuneven portion 3 a is formed on the external surface at a first end portion 31 (end portion of a −X side, in the example shown in the drawing) in the longitudinal direction, within thewick 3. Theuneven portions 3 a may be formed at both end portions of thewick 3 in the longitudinal direction. On the inside of thewick 3, aliquid reservoir 3 b of the working fluid is formed. - Due to the
uneven portion 3 a, it is possible to increase a surface area of thewick 3, without increasing an occupied area of thewick 3. - The size (dimensions in the longitudinal direction and the width direction) of the
concave portion 3 a 1 which forms theuneven portion 3 a is larger than an average diameter of the fine pores in thewick 3. On a surface of theuneven portion 3 a, a large number of fine pores of thewick 3 are open. It is possible to form theuneven portion 3 a, for example, when thewick 3 is formed by taking out the plate-shaped mesh material with the mold. Theuneven portion 3 a may be formed to have a size such that an uneven shape thereof is visible. - The
liquid reservoir 3 b is filled with the working fluid of a liquid phase. Theliquid reservoir 3 b is disposed at amiddle portion 33 between thefirst end portion 31 and asecond end portion 32 of thewick 3, in the longitudinal direction, and is extended along the longitudinal direction, on the inside of thewick 3. Theliquid reservoir 3 b is formed at a position which is different from theuneven portion 3 a in the longitudinal direction, within thewick 3. As shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2A , theliquid reservoir 3 b passes through themiddle portion 33 of thewick 3 in the up-down direction. The width of theliquid reservoir 3 b in the width direction is set such that the capillary force is generated, and is, for example, approximately 0.6 mm. The width of theliquid reservoir 3 b is larger than the average diameter of the fine pores in thewick 3. In the width direction, the width of theliquid reservoir 3 b is smaller than the width of a portion of thewick 3 which is adjacent to theliquid reservoir 3 b in the width direction. - Here, as shown in
FIG. 1 , the width of the width direction of a portion at which theconcave portion 3 a 1 is not formed within thefirst end portion 31, that is, theprojection portion 3 a 2 is referred to as W1. The width of the width direction of thesecond end portion 32 is referred to as W2, and the width of the width direction of themiddle portion 33 is referred to as W3. At this time, the respective dimensions of W1, W2, and W3 are substantially equal to each other. In other words, the width of thewick 3 in the width direction is substantially equal throughout the total length of thewick 3 in the longitudinal direction, except for a portion at which theconcave portion 3 a 1 is formed. - In a cross section which is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, a sectional area of the
second end portion 32 becomes substantially equal in the longitudinal direction, since W2 is fixed. In the cross section which is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the sectional area of themiddle portion 33 becomes substantially equal in the longitudinal direction, since W3, and the width of theliquid reservoir 3 b which is disposed on the inside of themiddle portion 33 are fixed. In this manner, the sectional area of thesecond end portion 32 or themiddle portion 33 is not changed in the longitudinal direction, thereby, it is possible to suppress flow resistance of the working fluid of the liquid phase so as to be small. - Next, operation of the heat pipe 1 which is configured as described above will be described.
- The heat pipe 1 is attached to an electronic component or the like in a commodity (for example, a notebook PC or a mobile phone) which becomes a target of heat transport. In the example of
FIG. 1 , the heat pipe 1 is disposed over a high temperature portion H and a low temperature portion L which are represented by two-dot chain lines. The high temperature portion H is, for example, a heat generation portion such as a CPU, and the low temperature portion L is, for example, a heat radiation portion such as a heat sink. - In the vicinity of the high temperature portion H, the working fluid in the
wick 3 evaporates by being heated through a wall surface of thecontainer 2. Here, thefirst end portion 31 of thewick 3 is disposed in the vicinity of the high temperature portion H, and theuneven portion 3 a is formed at thefirst end portion 31. Therefore, the surface area of thewick 3 is large in thefirst end portion 31, and it is possible to efficiently evaporate the working fluid. The working fluid evaporates, thereby, a pressure of a gas in the vicinity of the high temperature portion H is raised. Thereby, shown by an arrow F1 inFIG. 1 , the working fluid which becomes the gas phase transfers in the gap S toward the low temperature portion L side in the longitudinal direction. - The working fluid of the gas phase which reaches the vicinity of the low temperature portion L is condensed by a loss of the heat through the wall surface of the
container 2, and becomes a droplet to be bonded to the wall surface of thecontainer 2. The droplet of the working fluid soaks the fine pore in thesecond end portion 32 of thewick 3 due to the capillary force, as shown by an arrow F2 inFIG. 1 . Here, a portion of the working fluid of the liquid phase which soaks the fine pore in thewick 3 flows into theliquid reservoir 3 b, as shown by an arrow F2′. - The working fluid of the liquid phase in the fine pore of the
second end portion 32 of thewick 3, and the working fluid of the liquid phase in theliquid reservoir 3 b transfer to the high temperature portion H side of the longitudinal direction due to the capillary force. Here, since the uneven portion is not formed in thesecond end portion 32 and themiddle portion 33, it is possible to efficiently transfer the working fluid. This is because the resistance of the working fluid becomes large, in a case where there is a spot at which the width of thewick 3 is partially narrow. Therefore, the working fluid of the liquid phase is supplied by two paths shown by arrows F3 and F4, from the fine pore in thewick 3 and theliquid reservoir 3 b to theuneven portion 3 a. The working fluid of the liquid phase which reaches theuneven portion 3 a evaporates again from the surface of theuneven portion 3 a. - The working fluid which evaporates to become the gas phase transfers to the low temperature portion L side through the gap S again. In this manner, in the heat pipe 1, phase transition between the liquid phase and the gas phase of the working fluid is repeatedly used, thereby, it is possible to repeatedly transport the heat which is recovered on the high temperature portion H side of the longitudinal direction to the low temperature portion L side.
- As described above, according to the heat pipe 1 of the present embodiments, since the
uneven portion 3 a is formed in thewick 3, it is possible to make the surface area of thewick 3 large, without increasing the occupied area of the whole heat pipe 1. Thereby, the working fluid with which the wick is impregnated is capable of being efficiently evaporated from theuneven portion 3 a having the large surface area, and the transfer of the working fluid of the gas phase to the low temperature portion L side from the high temperature portion H side is promoted, thereby, it is possible to improve efficiency of the heat transport. - Furthermore, the
uneven portion 3 a is not formed in thesecond end portion 32 and themiddle portion 33, and the widths W2 and W3 are substantially equal to each other, thereby, there is no portion of which the width of thewick 3 is narrow other than an evaporation portion. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently transfer the working fluid, without making the flow resistance of the working fluid of the liquid phase large. - Since the
liquid reservoir 3 b of the working fluid is formed in themiddle portion 33 of thewick 3, when the working fluid evaporates from the external surface of thewick 3, it is possible to supply the working fluid of the liquid phase from theliquid reservoir 3 b toward the external surface. Thereby, a supply quantity of the working fluid of the liquid phase to the external surface of thewick 3 is stabilized, and the external surface of thewick 3 is capable of being preventing from drying. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an evaporation quantity of the working fluid from being lowered by drying of the external surface of thewick 3, and to prevent the efficiency of the heat transport from being lowered. - In a case where the heat pipe 1 is disposed with respect to a heat source such that the high temperature portion H is positioned in the vicinity of the
uneven portion 3 a, the working fluid which receives the heat from the high temperature portion H efficiently evaporates from the external surface of theuneven portion 3 a. Furthermore, since theliquid reservoir 3 b is disposed at the position which is different from theuneven portion 3 a in the longitudinal direction, it is prevented that the heat is transmitted directly to the working fluid in theliquid reservoir 3 b from the heat source. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent the working fluid from suddenly evaporating in theliquid reservoir 3 b, and it is possible to prevent the evaporated working fluid from flowing backward, toward the low temperature portion L side in theliquid reservoir 3 b. - In a case where the mesh material is adopted as a material of the
wick 3, it is possible to form thewick 3, for example, from the plate-shaped mesh material with die cutting. Thereby, even in a case where the shape of theuneven portion 3 a is complicated, it is possible to easily form thewick 3. - In the width direction, the width of the
liquid reservoir 3 b is narrower than the width of the portion of thewick 3 which is adjacent to theliquid reservoir 3 b in the width direction, thereby, it is possible to cause the capillary force to act on the working fluid of the liquid phase in theliquid reservoir 3 b. Therefore, due to the capillary force, it is possible to more smoothly recirculate the working fluid of the liquid phase in theliquid reservoir 3 b to the high temperature portion H side from the low temperature portion L side. - The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is possible to add various modifications thereto, within the scope without departing from the gist of the present invention.
- For example, in the embodiments described above, the heat pipe 1 is extended into a straight line shape in the longitudinal direction, but the heat pipe 1 is not limited thereto, and the heat pipe 1 may be used in a bended manner. At that time, since the
wick 3 is joined to theupper wall 2 a and thelower wall 2 b of thecontainer 2, even if the heat pipe 1 is bent, thewick 3 transfers in the width direction with respect to thecontainer 2, and it is prevented that the gap S becomes narrow. In a case where the heat pipe 1 is bent, the longitudinal direction is a direction in which a center line of the heat pipe 1 is extended, and it is possible to define the width direction as a direction which is orthogonal to both of the center line and the up-down direction. - In the example shown in
FIG. 1 , in a planar view which is seen from the up-down direction, a position of a center of the portion at which theuneven portion 3 a is formed within thewick 3 matches up with a position of a center of the high temperature portion H, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the high temperature portion H may be positioned at a position shifted from theuneven portion 3 a. - In the embodiments described above, the
uneven portion 3 a and theliquid reservoir 3 b are formed at positions which are different from each other in the longitudinal direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, theliquid reservoir 3 b and theuneven portion 3 a may be formed at positions which are the same in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, a configuration in which such aliquid reservoir 3 b is not formed may be adopted. - In the embodiments described above, the
uneven portion 3 a is formed only in a portion of the external surface of thewick 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, theuneven portion 3 a may be formed on the whole of the external surface of thewick 3. - The
uneven portion 3 a of the embodiments described above is formed by theconcave portion 3 a 1 which becomes depressed in the width direction of thewick 3, but the present invention it is not limited thereto. For example, theuneven portion 3 a may be formed by theprojection portion 3 a 2 which protrudes in the width direction of thewick 3. - Moreover, the
uneven portion 3 a of the embodiments described above is formed by disposing the plurality ofconcave portions 3 a 1 on the external surface of thewick 3, and the sizes of the respectiveconcave portions 3 a 1 or the intervals between theconcave portions 3 a 1 in the longitudinal direction are substantially equal to each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, an uneven shape in which theconcave portions 3 a 1 are non-uniformly formed may be adopted such that the surface area of thewick 3 is the largest, in a portion of which the temperature is the highest within the high temperature portion H. - In the example shown in
FIG. 2B , the width of theuneven portion 3 a, and the invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown inFIG. 3 , the surface area of thewick 3 may be increased, by forming theuneven portion 3 a and theconcave portion 3 a 1 such that the widths are non-uniform in the up-down direction. It is possible to easily form the shape of thewick 3 shown inFIG. 3 , for example, by stacking a plurality of sheet-shaped wicks of which the widths are different from each other in the up-down direction. - In addition, within the scope without departing from the gist of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately replace a configuration element in the embodiments described above with a known configuration element, and the embodiments described above may be appropriately combined with Modification Examples.
