- Please refer to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 . First, in the step S1, a firsthollow pipe 1 and a secondhollow pipe 2 are provided, and an outer diameter of thefirst pipe 1 is smaller than an inner diameter of thesecond pipe 2. Thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 are made of two materials with different specific gravities. In one embodiment, thefirst pipe 1 is made of copper with a specific gravity as 8.9 and thesecond pipe 2 is made of aluminum with a specific gravity as 2.1. Thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 can be both made by a drawing process, and agrooved wick structure 10 can be simultaneously formed on an inner wall of thefirst pipe 1 while forming thefirst pipe 1 by the drawing process. - Please refer to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 3 . In the step S2, thefirst pipe 1 is disposed inside thesecond pipe 2 so that thesecond pipe 2 is sheathed on thefirst pipe 1 to enclose thefirst pipe 1. At this time, thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 has not closely attached to each other yet. That is, as shown inFIG. 4 , there is a gap 21 formed between anouter wall surface 11 of thefirst pipe 1 and an inner wall surface 20 of thesecond pipe 2; therefore, thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 is not completely combined together. Moreover, in this step, it can further prepare arod 3, preferably asolid rod 3 or a rod with better surface strength, to pass through and dispose inside thefirst pipe 1 so that thefirst pipe 1 is prevented from collapse or deformation. - Please refer to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 5 . In the step S3, via an operation, the inner wall surface 20 of thesecond pipe 2 is attached on theouter wall surface 11 of thefirst pipe 1 to combine thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 as a pipe body of the heat pipe. In one embodiment, the operation is performed by placing thesecond pipe 2 in a high temperature chamber to soften the material of thesecond pipe 2 and pulling thesecond pipe 2 from two ends thereof by a tool. Such that, the inner diameter of thesecond pipe 2 is reduced and the inner wall surface 20 of thesecond pipe 2 will be attached on theouter wall surface 11 of thefirst pipe 1, as shown inFIG. 6 . Alternatively, it can be made by shrinking thesecond pipe 2 or expanding thefirst pipe 1 to achieve the object for combining thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 with theouter wall surface 11 of thefirst pipe 1 and the inner wall surface 20 of thesecond pipe 2 being closely attached to each other. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , after the step S3, in order to obtain a more accurate length of the heat pipe, a cutting step can be performed to cut the closely attached first andsecond pipes - Finally, please refer to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 8 . In the step S4, a vacuuming process is performed to vacuum an inner space of thefirst pipe 1, and a sealing process is performed on thefirst pipe 1 and thesecond pipe 2 after the working fluid is filled in thefirst pipe 1 to finish the heat pipe. Moreover, before the step S4, it can depend on the practical demand to form a screen mesh wick in thefirst pipe 1 or further form a powder sintered wick 13 (as shown inFIG. 9 ) entirely or locally on thegrooved wick structure 10. On the other hand, the closely attached first andsecond pipes screen mesh 14 located along a longitudinal direction of the heat pipe as shown in FIG. 10 - Thus, a lightweight heat pipe made by the above-mentioned steps of the method according to the present invention can be obtained.
- By using the copper material to make the inner pipe and the aluminum material to make the outer pipe of a heat pipe, since the aluminum material has a specific gravity much smaller than the copper material which is conventionally solely used for making the heat pipe, the lightweight heat pipe of the present invention not only can keep the same performance on the thermal conductive effect, but also can reduce the entire weight of the heat pipe.
- While the invention has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
