Sleeve-type heat conducting structure

Abstract

A sleeve-type heat conducting structure includes a heat conducting device (1), a sleeve (2), and a heat pipe (3). The heat conducting device (1) has a working portion (10) and a sleeve-connecting portion (11); a fitting hole (110) is disposed in the sleeve-connecting portion (11) such that the sleeve (2) is fastened in the fitting hole (110). The heat pipe (3) has an end disposed movably in the sleeve (2) and the other end exposed out of the sleeve (2) in which the end of the heat pipe (3) sleeved into the sleeve (2) can slide axially in the sleeve (2) and the heat pipe (3) can rotate with respect to the heat conducting device (1) through the sleeve (2).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sleeve-type heat conducting structure comprising:
 a heat conducting device ( 1 ) having a working portion ( 10 ) and a sleeve-connecting portion ( 11 ), wherein a fitting hole ( 110 ) is disposed in the sleeve-connecting portion ( 11 );   a sleeve ( 2 ) fastened in the fitting hole ( 110 ); and   a heat pipe ( 3 ) having an end disposed movably in the sleeve ( 2 ) and the other end exposed out of the sleeve ( 2 ), wherein the end of the heat pipe ( 3 ) sleeved into the sleeve ( 2 ) can slide axially in the sleeve ( 2 ) and the heat pipe ( 3 ) can rotate with respect to the heat conducting device ( 1 ) through the sleeve ( 2 ).   
     
     
         2 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat conducting device ( 1 ) is a heat pipe, a vapor chamber, or a plate heat pipe. 
     
     
         3 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat conducting device ( 1 ) is a heat pipe, wherein an end of the heat conducting device ( 1 ) is the working portion ( 10 ) and the other end of the heat conducting device ( 1 ) is the sleeve-connecting portion ( 11 ). 
     
     
         4 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 3 , wherein the working portion ( 10 ) has a plate shape, a curved shape, or a combination of the plate shape and the curved shape. 
     
     
         5 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 3 , wherein an end surface of the sleeve-connecting portion ( 11 ) is recessed inward to form the fitting hole ( 110 ). 
     
     
         6 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve ( 2 ) is made of copper, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. 
     
     
         7 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve ( 2 ) is part of a chamber structure of the heat pipe, the vapor chamber, or the plate heat pipe. 
     
     
         8 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein thermal grease is applied between the sleeve ( 2 ) and the heat pipe ( 3 ). 
     
     
         9 . The sleeve-type heat conducting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat conducting device ( 1 ) has a plurality of sleeves ( 2 ) and a plurality of heat pipes ( 3 ), wherein the sleeves ( 2 ) individually match the heat pipes ( 3 ) correspondingly.
