Abstract
A heat pipe and a method for forming the same are provided. The method includes: defining a closed end, a closed portion, and a contact section in sequence along a heat pipe to be processed; closing the opening of the closed end and the passage of the closed portion so as to finalize the heat pipe; and cutting axially the contact section into a plurality of equal parts, bending the equal parts outward to assume a divergent shape, thereby providing the contact section with an area for contact with a heat-generating source. Heat is directly transferred from the heat-generating source to the heat pipe via the contact section, thereby enhancing heat dissipation.
Claims9
A method for forming a heat pipe, comprising the steps of:
- cutting a heat pipe to have a length according to user need, said heat pipe with said length comprising a closed end, at least one contact section, and a closed portion;
- closing an opening of said closed end and a passage of said closed portion so as to finalize said heat pipe;
- and
- shaping said contact section to provide said contact section with a great area for immediate contact with a heat-generating source.
A heat pipe, comprising:
- a contact section flatly formed at at least one end of said heat pipe and adapted to contact a heat-generating source so as to enable heat transfer.
