Abstract

A loop heat pipe one-way circulation device includes a lower cover plate and an upper casing closely connected to the lower cover plate. The upper casing includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a joint surface, a heat absorption area and a gas discharge cavity. The joint surface is in close contact with the lower cover plate, and the heat absorption area is formed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. In addition, the heat absorption area includes a heat absorption area inner surface height, and the gas discharge cavity has a gas discharge cavity height, and the gas discharge cavity height is greater than the heat absorption area inner surface height.

Claims (18)

1 . A loop heat pipe one-way circulation device, comprising:

a lower cover plate; and

an upper casing in close contact with the lower cover plate, wherein the upper casing comprises:

a fluid inlet;

a fluid outlet;

a joint surface in close contact with the lower cover plate;

a heat absorption area formed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, wherein the heat absorption area comprises a heat absorption area inner surface height; and

a gas discharge cavity having a gas discharge cavity height, wherein the gas discharge cavity height is greater than the heat absorption area inner surface height, wherein the upper casing further comprises a fluid guiding block, and the fluid guiding block comprises a tip toward a direction of the fluid outlet, wherein the fluid guiding block extends downward from the upper casing and is attached on the lower cover plate.

2 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 1 , wherein the upper casing further comprises an inlet flow channel having an inlet flow channel upper surface height, and the heat absorption area inner surface height is greater than the inlet flow channel upper surface height.

3 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 2 , wherein the upper casing further comprises a gas storage chamber having a gas storage chamber height, and the gas storage chamber height is greater than the heat absorption area inner surface height.

4 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 3 , wherein at least a part of the inlet flow channel is located between the heat absorption area and the gas storage chamber.

5 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 4 , wherein the inlet flow channel, the heat absorption area, the gas storage chamber and the gas discharge cavity surround the fluid guiding block.

6 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 5 , wherein a gas storage chamber active section is formed between the inlet flow channel and the gas storage chamber to control whether a heat dissipation gas follows from the heat absorption area into the gas storage chamber.

7 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 3 , wherein the upper casing further comprises a fluid inlet chamber located at the fluid inlet, the fluid inlet chamber comprises a fluid inlet chamber height, and the fluid inlet chamber height is higher than the inlet flow channel upper surface height.

8 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 7 , wherein the upper casing further comprises a fluid isolation bump located between the fluid inlet chamber and the gas storage chamber.

9 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 3 , wherein the gas storage chamber height is equal to the gas discharge cavity height.

10 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 1 , wherein the heat absorption area further comprises a plurality of heat conducting protrusions downwardly extending from the heat absorption area.

11 . The loop heat pipe one-way circulation device of claim 1 , wherein the fluid outlet is approximately flushed with a gas discharge cavity upper surface of the gas discharge cavity.
