Isothermal vapor chamber and support structure thereof

Abstract

In an isothermal vapor chamber and its support structure, the isothermal vapor chamber includes a casing, a capillary wick, a support structure and a working fluid. The capillary wick is disposed in the casing. The support structure is contained in the capillary wick for supporting the capillary wick and the support structure includes two side panels and a plurality of wavy plates are connected between the two side panels. The wavy plate is formed by a plurality of wave peak sections and a plurality of wave valley sections, and the wave peak sections of any two adjacent wavy plates are installed alternately with each other, and any two adjacent wavy plates are partitioned to form a partition channel. The working fluid is filled into the casing and flowed through the partition channel for improving the heat conducting efficiency of the isothermal vapor chamber.

1 . An isothermal vapor chamber, comprising:
 a casing;   a working fluid, filled into the casing;   a capillary wick, disposed in the casing; and   a support structure, contained in the capillary wick, for supporting the capillary wick, and including two side panels and a plurality of wavy plates connected between the two side panels, and the wavy plate being comprised of a plurality of wave peak sections and a plurality of wave valley sections, and the wave peak sections of any two adjacent wavy plates being installed alternately with each other.   
   
   
       2 . The isothermal vapor chamber of  claim 1 , wherein the casing comprises a lower casing panel and an upper casing panel sealed and coupled to the lower casing panel. 
   
   
       3 . The isothermal vapor chamber of  claim 2 , wherein the lower casing panel is formed by a bottom panel and a plurality of surrounding panels disposed around the periphery of the bottom panel. 
   
   
       4 .
