Abstract
A liquid-cooling radiator includes a heat sink. The heat sink has a heat pipe opening on a surface of the heat sink and a heat pipe chamber inside the heat sink which communicates with the heat pipe opening. A pressure device is disposed in the heat pipe chamber. A heat pipe is disposed between the heat pipe opening and the pressure device. The heat pipe has a flexible pipe body. The pipe body has a flow channel therein. A part of the pipe body protrudes from the heat pipe opening and is exposed from the surface of the heat sink.
Claims20
A liquid-cooling radiator, comprising:
- a heat sink, having a heat pipe chamber and a contact portion, wherein the heat pipe chamber has an inlet/outlet port;
- the contact portion has at least one heat pipe opening;
- the at least one heat pipe opening communicates with the heat pipe chamber;
- a pressure device, disposed in the heat pipe chamber;
- and
- a heat pipe, disposed in the heat pipe chamber and having a pipe body that is flexible;
- the pipe body has a flow channel, wherein the flow channel has a flow channel inlet and a flow channel outlet matching with the inlet/outlet port;
- two opposite sides of the pipe body respectively have a cooling surface and an abutting surface, wherein the cooling surface faces the contact portion and the abutting surface faces the pressure device;
- at least part of the cooling surface is exposed to the contact portion from the at least one heat pipe opening.
A heat pipe of a liquid-cooling radiator, comprising a pipe body that is flexible, wherein the pipe body has a flow channel;
- the flow channel has a flow channel inlet and a flow channel outlet;
- two opposite sides of the pipe body respectively have a cooling surface and an abutting surface;
