Publication number: 20240164059Abstract: A vapor chamber structure includes an aluminum upper plate, an aluminum lower plate, a working fluid and multiple micron-sized recesses. The aluminum upper plate has a first side and a second side. The aluminum lower plate has a third side and a fourth side. The aluminum upper and lower plates are correspondingly mated with each other to define an airtight chamber. The working fluid is filled in the airtight chamber. The micron-sized recesses are directly formed on the third side. The micron-sized recesses are upward raised and/or downward recessed from the third side in the form of multiple small puddles so as to enhance the boiling efficiency of the working fluid in the airtight chamber and promote liquid-vapor circulation performance of the vapor chamber. In addition, when used in a low-temperature environment, the vapor chamber structure prevents the working fluid in the airtight chamber from freezing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Han-Min Liu, Wen-Qi Liu, Xing-Hui Li, Xiao-Xiang Zhou

Patent number: 11864349Abstract: A vapor chamber with structure for enhancing two-phase flow boiling includes a main body formed of a first and a second plate member, which are correspondingly closed to each other to define an airtight chamber between them. The airtight chamber has a condensing side and an evaporating side and has a working fluid filled therein. The evaporating side is formed on its surface with a plurality of projected sections and a plurality of recessed sections and has a wick structure provided thereon. The projected sections extend through and project beyond the wick structure, and the recessed sections are located below the wick structure without being filled by the wick structure to thereby form spaces for receiving the working fluid.
