Abstract
A protection element for vapor chamber includes a main body and a protection element. The main body is divided into a working zone and a sealing zone. The sealing zone is located around an outer periphery of the working zone and is provided with a notch area, to which a fluid-adding and air-evacuating pipe is connected. The protection element is correspondingly mounted to the notch area to contact with the sealing zone of the main body. With the arrangement of the protection element, the fluid-adding and air-evacuating pipe is protected against collision and impact and accordingly, the main body of the vapor chamber is protected against vacuum and working fluid leakage.
Claims5
A vapor chamber having a protection structure comprising:
- a main body divided into a working zone and a sealing zone located around an outer periphery of the working zone and provided with a notch area having a first side, a second side, and a third side;
- a pipe configured for addition of working fluid and air evacuation connected to the notch area;
- and
- a protection element correspondingly mounted to the notch area to contact with the sealing zone of the main body, the protection element comprising a first plate, a second plate, and a connection section connected at two opposite transverse edges to the first and the second plate, such that the first and second plates and the connection section together form a triangular structure to provide a clamping force and define a protection space in between them, the protection space covering the second side and third side of the notch area and the pipe;
- wherein free ends of the first and second plates clip to the first side of the notch area, and wherein the protection element is configured to be removed from the notch through the application of an external force.
