Vapor chamber structure having stretchable heated part

Abstract

A vapor chamber structure includes a plate-shaped shell and at least one stretchable heated member. The plate-shaped shell has a hollow interior to form a cavity and has a base on which at least one throughhole is disposed. The throughhole communicates with the cavity. The stretchable heated member is disposed on the base of the plate-shaped shell. The stretchable heated member includes a heated plate and a hollow stretchable tube. The heated plate is sealedly connected to one end of the stretchable tube and the throughhole of the plate-shaped shell is sealedly connected to the other end of the stretchable tube.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vapor chamber structure comprising:
 a plate-shaped shell ( 1 ) having a hollow interior to form a cavity ( 12 ), wherein the plate-shaped shell ( 1 ) has a base ( 100 ) on which at least one throughhole ( 101 ) is disposed and the at least one throughhole ( 101 ) communicates with the cavity ( 12 ); and   at least one stretchable heated member ( 2 ) disposed on the base ( 100 ) of the plate-shaped shell ( 1 ), wherein the at least one stretchable heated member ( 2 ) comprises a heated plate ( 20 ) and a hollow stretchable tube ( 21 ), wherein the heated plate ( 20 ) is sealedly connected to one end of the stretchable tube ( 21 ), wherein the at least one throughhole ( 101 ) of the plate-shaped shell ( 1 ) is sealedly connected to the other end of the stretchable tube ( 21 ).   
     
     
         2 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped shell ( 1 ) is formed by stacking a lower plate ( 10 ) and an upper plate ( 11 ), wherein the cavity ( 12 ) is formed between the lower plate ( 10 ) and the upper plate ( 11 ). 
     
     
         3 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , wherein an internal wall of the cavity ( 12 ) is provided with a wick structure layer ( 120 ). 
     
     
         4 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the stretchable tube ( 21 ) is a flexible or an elastic tube body with an enclosed edge. 
     
     
         5 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the flexible tube body with the enclosed edge is a bellow. 
     
     
         6 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the elastic tube body with the enclosed edge is a spring tube. 
     
     
         7 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the stretchable tube ( 21 ) has a deformed segment ( 210 ), a first end opening ( 211 ), and a second end opening ( 212 ), wherein the first end opening ( 211 ) and the second end opening ( 212 ) are individually formed at two ends of the deformed segment ( 210 ), wherein the first end opening ( 211 ) is for sealing the heated plate ( 20 ) and the second end opening ( 212 ) is sealedly connected to the at least one throughhole ( 101 ). 
     
     
         8 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , wherein an elastic device ( 22 ) is disposed in the at least one stretchable heated member ( 2 ) to push against the heated plate ( 20 ) outward. 
     
     
         9 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a capillary structure assembly ( 3 ) having a plurality of capillary structures ( 30 ,  31 ) which are floatingly connected to one another and are in turn connected between the at least one stretchable heated member ( 2 ) and the plate-shaped shell ( 1 ). 
     
     
         10 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 9 , wherein the capillary structures ( 30 ,  31 ) are grouped into a first capillary structure ( 30 ) and a second capillary structure ( 31 ), wherein a connecting hole ( 300 ) is disposed in the first capillary structure ( 30 ), wherein the second capillary structure ( 31 ) is sleeved into the connecting hole ( 300 ) such that the first capillary structure ( 30 ) and the second capillary structure ( 31 ) are floatingly connected to each other. 
     
     
         11 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 10 , wherein a wick structure layer ( 200 ) is disposed on an internal surface of the heated plate ( 20 ), wherein the first capillary structure ( 30 ) is disposed on the internal surface of the heated plate ( 20 ) and is connected to the wick structure layer ( 200 ) on the internal surface of the heated plate ( 20 ). 
     
     
         12 . The vapor chamber structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the connecting hole ( 300 ) is a throughhole or a blind hole.
