Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention aims to provide a heat dissipation device of electronic equipment, which solves the problem of low heat dissipation efficiency of the existing heat dissipation mode of the electronic equipment.
At present, a flat plate type heat pipe generally adopts an upper copper layer and a lower copper layer to form a space structure, structures such as a metal mesh tube core, a foamed metal material, a powder sintered tube core, a groove tube core and the like are filled between the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer to form an internal capillary structure layer, fluid such as water, methanol and the like are filled in a space with the capillary structure layer, and a higher vacuum degree is kept for the space. The two copper structures are jointed at the outer edge by welding or gluing and the like and maintain air tightness. However, the conventional flat plate heat pipe has a sandwich structure of two copper layers and an intermediate interlayer, so that the thickness is relatively thick, generally greater than 0.8mm, and the heat pipe is difficult to be installed in a large space in an ultrathin product. In addition, the copper has low hardness and a hollow structure, so that the traditional heat pipe is very soft as a whole, difficult to mount and fix and easy to bend and deform to cause performance reduction and even failure.
