  • Patent number: 12274030
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device includes a vapor chamber for contacting a heat source; at least one heat pipe having a first end and a second end connected to the vapor chamber; at least one partition disposed inside the heat pipe to partition the inside of the heat pipe into a first channel and a second channel isolated from each other; and a heat dissipation fin set disposed on the vapor chamber and partially covers the heat pipe. The vapor chamber is filled with a liquid working medium that absorbs the heat of the heat source and then gasifies into a gaseous working medium. The gaseous working medium moves into the first channel and the second channel to be condensed by the heat dissipation fin set, so the gaseous working medium is liquefied into the liquid working medium, and then the liquid working medium flows back into the vapor chamber.
