Abstract

A manufacturing method of middle member structure includes steps of applying an external force to a plate body to shape the plate body and form multiple recessed/raised structures and perforating the plate body to form multiple perforations misaligned from the recessed/raised structures so as to achieve a plate body with recessed/raised structures. The middle member structure is applicable to a vapor chamber to enhance the vapor-liquid circulation effect and the support for the internal chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of manufacturing a support middle member structure, comprising steps of: providing a plate body defining a flat plane; applying an external force to the plate body to shape the plate body and form multiple recessed and raised structures, said structures being recessed and raised from said flat plane; and perforating the plate body to form multiple perforations misaligned from the recessed and raised structures, said perforations being formed in the plate body in said flat plane.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external force shaping is one of a punching process, a thermoplastic process, or an in-mold molding process.

3. The manufacturing method of middle member structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the perforations are formed by means of punching processing, milling processing, drilling or laser.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plate body is made of a material selected from a group consisting of copper, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, commercial pure titanium, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, copper alloy and polymer material.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recessed and raised structures are recessed from one face of the plate body and correspondingly raised from the other face of the plate body.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recessed and raised structures are horizontally alternately arranged in transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the plate body.

7. The method of claim 1 , and further comprising a step of forming a coating on outer surface of the plate body after the step of perforating the plate body.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the material of the coating is selected from a group consisting of electroplated copper, electroplated aluminum, electroplated nickel and nanometer electroplated metal.
