摘要： Modular thermal truss plates are structures to hold mechanical loads of devices while also distributing heat in multiple directions “in plane” parallel to the truss plate, and “through-plane” orthogonal to the planar direction. An embedded lattice forms spaces or slots to receive thermally conductive spacer inserts conducting “through-plane” (a comparatively short distance, in a plate thickness direction) as well as comparatively longer (than the comparatively short distance) relief “channels” extending across from edge to edge (in the planar directions) sized for receiving flat heat pipe strips transferring heat therealong. With precision available by pre-fabricating the lattice with pre-threaded holes at vertices, the assembly into it of heat pipes and conductive inserts as well as attachment of outer skins and framing is faster, more precise, and reliable, with no need for risky or imprecise measuring or drilling after assembly.
