Publication number: 20160018164Abstract: A heat pipe includes a metal tube and a sintered powder layer. An inner sidewall of the metal tube thereon defines a clearance area. The sintered powder layer is formed on the inner sidewall without covering the clearance area, such that the clearance area is exposed out without being covered by the sintered powder layer. Because of no sintered powder on the clearance area, the heat pipe can be bent at the clearance area without damaging the capillary structure formed by the sintered powder. The flow path of the working fluid is not interrupted or influenced, so the heat transfer efficiency can be maintained, which overcomes the decrement of the heat transfer efficiency of a bent heat pipe in the prior art.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventor: Wei-Cheng Chou

Patent number: 9188395Abstract: The method of manufacturing heat pipe is disclosed to insert a center bar into a metal tube such that the center bar contacts a clearance area of the inner sidewall of the metal tube. Then, the method is to fill the interval between the center bar and the metal tube with powder for sintering. At last, the method is to perform a sintering, extract the center bar, inject working fluid, and close the metal tube. A heat pipe is therefore formed. Because of no sintered powder on the clearance area, the heat pipe can be bent at the clearance area without damaging the capillary structure formed by the sintered powder. The flow path of the working fluid is not interrupted or influenced, so the heat transfer efficiency can be maintained, which overcomes the decrement of the heat transfer efficiency of a bent heat pipe in the prior art.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventor: Wei-Cheng Chou
