  • Publication number: 20110297355
    Abstract: A heat-conducting module for heat conduction of an electronic heat-generating element includes a heat pipe and a vapor chamber. The vapor chamber has an evaporating section brought into thermal contact with the electronic heat-generating element and a heat-conducting section located away from the evaporating section and wrapping around the heat pipe. With this arrangement, the contact area and heat-conducting efficiency between the vapor chamber and the heat pipe can be increased greatly, thereby obtaining a heat-conducting module with an excellent heat-conducting efficiency. With a heat-dissipating fin assembly and a fan being connected to the heat pipe, a heat-dissipating device having the aforesaid heat-conducting module can be obtained, whereby the heat of the vapor chamber and the heat pipe can be rapidly dissipated to the outside.

    Abstract: A compact vapor chamber configured to thermally conduct heat of an electronic heat-generating element includes a flat sealed casing; a wick structure arranged on inner walls of the flat sealed casing; a working fluid filled inside the flat sealed casing; and an evaporating section formed on a portion of the vapor chamber. An outer surface of the flat sealed casing on the evaporating section has a recess for covering the electronic heat-generating element. The recess is brought into thermal contact with the electronic heat-generating element. With this arrangement, when the compact vapor chamber is brought into thermal contact the electronic heat-generating element for heat dissipation, the distance of the electronic heat-generating element protruding from the compact vapor chamber is reduced, thereby facilitating the compact design of an electronic product. Further, the present invention provides a heat-dissipating module having such a compact vapor chamber.

  • Publication number: 20110056670
    Abstract: A heat sink includes a frame, a vapor chamber fixed to the frame, and a heat-dissipating plate adhered to one surface of the vapor chamber. The heat-dissipating plate has a first heat-dissipating fins region and a second heat-dissipating fins region. The first heat-dissipating fins region and the second heat-dissipating fins region are composed of a plurality of first heat-dissipating fins and a plurality of second heat-dissipating fins that are arranged at intervals, respectively. The pitch of the first heat-dissipating fins in the first heat-dissipating fins region is smaller than that of the second heat-dissipating fins in the second heat-dissipating fins region. By this arrangement, airflow can flow freely among the respective heat-dissipating fins. The first heat-dissipating fins region is used to dissipate a great amount of heat, while the second heat-dissipating fins region is used to exhaust the air rapidly. Thus, the heat-dissipating efficiency can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20110027738
    Abstract: A vapor chamber having supporting structure with height difference, includes a shell, tissue wick structure, working fluid filled into the shell and supporting structure with height difference, disposed over inner walls of the shell, accommodated in the shell, abutted against the wick structure, and including first corrugated piece and second corrugated piece, both of which are connected to each other. The longitudinal distance between top and bottom of the first corrugated piece is a first amplitude. The longitudinal distance between top and bottom of the second corrugated piece is a second amplitude larger than the first amplitude. Since the second amplitude provides the shell with greater supporting force, when the shell is pressed to make heating element and the shell contact closely, a recessing phenomenon won't occur to the shell, thereby, increasing the contact tightness and promoting the thermally conductive efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20100326629
    Abstract: A vapor chamber with separator includes shell, capillary tissue, separator, supporting structure and working fluid. The shell includes inter-sealed lower and upper shell plates. Partial section of the lower shell plate projects downwardly and forms accommodating room therein. The capillary tissue is arranged by distributing over inner wall of the lower shell plate. The separator overlapped the capillary tissue is arranged penetrating trough corresponding to the accommodating room. Liquid passage is formed between the lower shell plate and the separator. The supporting structure is accommodated in the shell with upper and lower sides respectively inter-abutted against the upper shell plate and the separator. Vapor passage formed between the upper shell plate and the separator is communicated to the liquid passage. The working fluid is filled into the shell. Since the vapor and liquid working fluids are separated by the separator to avoid interference, the cooling performance is thus boosted.
