    摘要: A heat pipe having a woven-wire wick and a straight fine-wire wick is disclosed. The heat pipe can be easily manufactured and improve a thermal performance of the heat pipe. The heat pipe includes a pipe container; a straight fine-wire wick located in the pipe container, wherein the straight fine-wire wick has a porosity; a woven-wire wick having a plurality of groups of wires spirally woven to form a substantially cylindrical wick, for contacting the straight fine-wire wick to an inner wall of the pipe container, wherein when the woven-wire wick is forced radially and inwardly in order for the woven-wire wick to be inserted into the pipe container, the woven-wire wick has restoration forces in a radial and outward direction from axis of the woven-wire wick and is tightly contact with the inner wall of the pipe container, and wherein ends of the straight fine-wire wick and the woven-wire wick are fixed to ends of the pipe container.
