Abstract:
1. A thermal connector for connecting a connecting pipeline of a heat pipe cooling system with an object that serves as a condenser of the heat pipe cooling system, the thermal connector comprising: a first thermal conductive block having a plurality of first fitting parts and a contact surface, wherein the contact surface is attached to one of the surfaces of the object; and a second thermal conductive block having a plurality of second fitting parts, wherein the second fitting parts mesh with the first fitting parts, one of each of the first fitting parts and each of the second fitting parts is a spine, the other one of each of the first fitting parts and each of the second fitting parts is a groove corresponding to the spine, the grooves communicate with each other through a plurality of trenches passing across at least two adjacent grooves, the depth of each of the grooves is greater than the height of each of the spines, each of the grooves and the corresponding spine form a space between the top of the spine and the bottom of the groove, and side walls of each of the spines parallel to the grooves touch side walls of the corresponding groove except in the region where the depth of the groove is greater than the height of the spine, so as to be fluidly tight; wherein the first thermal conductive block and the second thermal conductive block together form a network piping channel suitable for accommodating a section of the connecting pipeline when the second fitting parts and the first fitting parts are fitted together, the trenches and the spaces together form the network piping channel, the network piping channel comprises a plurality of first channels and a plurality of second channels, the trenches form the first channels, the spaces form the second channels, the extending direction of the first channels is different from the extending direction of the second channels, and the surface seams formed after assembling the first thermal conductive block and the second thermal conductive block together are sealed using soldering material.
