Vapor chamber and supporting structure thereof

Abstract

In a vapor chamber and a supporting structure thereof, the vapor chamber includes a casing, in which a capillary wick and a supporting structure are accommodated. The supporting structure includes a plate, on which a plurality of channels are disposed at equal intervals and arranged by corresponding to each other. A corrugated piece is formed in each channel and upper and lower sides of the corrugated piece are respectively abutted against the capillary wick, making the capillary wick and inner wall faces of the casing tightly contacted to each other. In addition, a vapor chamber having this kind of supporting structure is provided. Thereby, it is possible to increase the phase-changing amount of the vapor chamber, accelerate the heat-transferring speed, and enhance the heat-conducting performance further.

1 . A vapor chamber, including:
 a casing, which has a hollow chamber;   a working fluid, which is injected into the hollow chamber;   a capillary wick, which is distributed in the hollow chamber; and   a supporting structure, which is accommodated in the capillary wick and includes a plate, on which a plurality of channels are interspaced at equal intervals and are arranged by corresponding to each other, a corrugated piece being configured in each channel, top and bottom faces of the corrugated piece being respectively abutted against the capillary wick, making the capillary wick tightly contacted with inner wall faces of the casing.   
   
   
       2 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 1 , wherein a separating plate is formed between any two adjacent channels. 
   
   
       3 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 1 , wherein the corrugated pieces are separately comprised of a plurality of first corrugated pieces and a plurality of second corrugated pieces. 
   
   
       4 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 3 , wherein the first corrugated piece is comprised of a crest section higher than a top face of the plate and two trough sections respectively connecting the crest section and lower than a bottom face of the plate. 
   
   
       5 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 4 , wherein the second corrugated piece is comprised of two crest sections higher than a top face of the plate and a trough section connecting the two crest sections and lower than a bottom face of the plate. 
   
   
       6 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 5 , wherein the crest section of the first corrugated piece is disposed by corresponding to the trough section of the second corrugated piece, while the trough section of the first corrugated piece is disposed by corresponding to the crest of the second corrugated piece. 
   
   
       7 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 3 , wherein the second corrugate piece is comprised of two crest sections higher than a top face of the plate and a trough section connecting the two crest sections and lower than a bottom face of the plate. 
   
   
       8 . A supporting structure of vapor chamber, the vapor chamber including a casing, in which a capillary wick and a supporting structure are accommodated, the supporting structure including a plate, on which a plurality of channels are disposed at equal intervals and arranged by corresponding to each other, a corrugated piece being formed in each channel, upper and lower sides of the corrugated piece being respectively abutted against the capillary wick, making the capillary wick and inner wall faces of the casing tightly contacted to each other. 
   
   
       9 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 8 , wherein a separating plate is formed between any two adjacent channels. 
   
   
       10 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 8 , wherein the corrugated pieces are separately comprised of a plurality of first corrugated pieces and a plurality of second corrugated pieces. 
   
   
       11 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 10 , wherein the first corrugated piece is comprised of a crest section higher than a top face of the plate and two trough sections respectively connecting the crest section and lower than a bottom face of the plate. 
   
   
       12 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 11 , wherein the second corrugated piece is comprised of two crest sections higher than a top face of the plate and a trough section connecting the two crest sections and lower than a bottom face of the plate. 
   
   
       13 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 12 , wherein the crest section of the first corrugated piece is disposed by corresponding to the trough section of the second corrugated piece, while the trough section of the first corrugated piece is disposed by corresponding to the crest of the second corrugated piece. 
   
   
       14 . The vapor chamber according to  claim 10 , wherein the second corrugate piece is comprised of two crest sections higher than a top face of the plate and a trough section connecting the two crest sections and lower than a bottom face of the plate.
