Abstract

A flat heat pipe with hook capillary tissue includes a metal pipe, a capillary tissue and working fluid. The metal pipe is in a flat shape and formed by enclosing two opposite panels and two opposite sidewalls, and a hollow chamber is formed in the metal pipe. The capillary tissue is in the shape of a long strip, and includes having a hook formed at an end of the capillary tissue, and the capillary tissue is contained in the hollow chamber and attached onto one of the sidewalls and abutted between two sidewalls, and a working fluid is filled into the hollow chamber and adhered to the capillary tissue, so that the stability of fixing the capillary tissue into the metal pipe can be improved, and the retention quantity of the working fluid at an end of the pipe can be maintained.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A flat heat pipe with hook capillary tissue, comprising:
 a metal pipe, being in a flat shape, and formed by enclosing two opposite panels and two sidewalls extended from the two panels respectively, and having a hollow chamber formed in the metal pipe;   a capillary tissue, being in a shape of a long strip, and having a hook formed at an end of the capillary tissue, and the capillary tissue being contained in the hollow chamber and abutted against one of the sidewalls, and the hook being abutted between the two sidewalls; and   working fluid, filled into the hollow chamber and adhered onto the capillary tissue.   
     
     
         2 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the capillary tissue is a woven metal mesh, a fiber cluster or a porous powder sintered strip. 
     
     
         3 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the capillary tissue includes a woven metal mesh and a porous powder sintered strip coupled to the woven metal mesh. 
     
     
         4 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the capillary tissue includes a fiber cluster and a porous powder sintered strip coupled to the fiber cluster. 
     
     
         5 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the capillary tissue includes a fiber cluster and a woven metal mesh coupled to the fiber cluster. 
     
     
         6 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the metal pipe further includes a rear closed end coupled to the two panels and the two sidewalls, and an internal arc wall is formed at the rear closed end, and the hook includes a first arc section disposed immediately adjacent to the internal arc wall and a first press section extended from the first arc section, and the first press section is disposed adjacent to the other sidewall. 
     
     
         7 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 6 , wherein the metal pipe further includes a front closed end coupled to the two panels and the two sidewalls, and the capillary tissue further includes a second hook disposed immediately adjacent to an internal wall of the front closed end. 
     
     
         8 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 7 , wherein the second hook includes a second arc section disposed immediately adjacent to an internal wall of the front closed end and a second press section extended from the second arc section and disposed immediately adjacent to the other sidewall. 
     
     
         9 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein both sidewalls are in a semicircular shape. 
     
     
         10 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 1 , wherein the heat pipe includes an evaporation section, and the hook is formed at an internal space of the evaporation section. 
     
     
         11 . A flat heat pipe with hook capillary tissue, comprising:
 a metal pipe, being in a flat shape, and formed by enclosing two opposite panels and two sidewalls extended from the two panels respectively, and having a hollow chamber formed in the metal pipe;   a capillary tissue, contained in the hollow chamber, and having a linear section and a hook formed by bending an end of the linear section, and abutted against one of the sidewalls corresponding to the linear section, and the hook being abutted between the two sidewalls; and   working fluid, filled into the hollow chamber and adhered onto the capillary tissue.   
     
     
         12 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 11 , wherein the capillary tissue is a woven metal mesh, a fiber cluster or a porous powder sintered strip. 
     
     
         13 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 11 , wherein the linear section is a woven metal mesh and the hook is a porous powder sintered strip. 
     
     
         14 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 11 , wherein the linear section is a fiber cluster and the hook is a porous powder sintered strip. 
     
     
         15 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 11 , wherein the linear section is a fiber cluster and the hook is a woven metal mesh. 
     
     
         16 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 11 , wherein the metal pipe further includes a rear closed end coupled to the two panels and the two sidewalls, and an internal arc wall formed inside the rear closed end, and the hook includes a first arc section extended from the linear section and a first press section extended from the first arc section and parallel to the linear section, and the first arc section is disposed immediately adjacent to the internal arc wall, and the first press section is disposed immediately adjacent to the other sidewall. 
     
     
         17 . The flat heat pipe with a hook capillary tissue of  claim 16 , wherein the metal pipe further includes a front closed end coupled to the two panels and the two sidewalls, and the capillary tissue further includes a second hook extended from the linear section, and the second hook is disposed immediately adjacent to an internal wall of the front closed end.
