  • Patent number: 9032624
    Abstract: A plate-type heat pipe sealing structure and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The plate-type heat pipe includes a main body and a tube body. A notch is formed at one of two ends of the main body or one of four corners of the main body as a sealed section thereof. The tube body is disposed in the notch and connected with the main body. The main body of the plate-type heat pipe is cut by means of a mechanical processing method such as punching to form the notch. The notch of the main body is sealed by means of high frequency wave or copper welding. The tube body is positioned within the notch without protruding from the main body of the plate-type heat pipe.

  • Patent number: 9021698
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat plate heat pipe and a method for manufacturing the same. The heat pipe includes a flattened pipe whose inner surface is coated with a wick structure layer. The interior of the flattened pipe is provided with a sintered supporting layer and a working fluid. The sintered supporting layer has a plurality of posts arranged in the flattened pipe to vertically support therein. With this arrangement, the thickness of the pipe can be reduced but the whole structural strength can be maintained to prevent deformation. Further, a return path for the working fluid can be provided in the pipe. By only sealing two sides of the pipe, a sealed chamber can be formed for the operation of the working fluid. By the inventive method, the manufacturing process can be simplified and a larger space inside the chamber can be obtained.
