1. A heat conduction device with an inner loop, the heat conduction device comprising:
a vapor chamber, comprising a first board and a second board covering each other to configure an internal hollow space, and the second board comprising at least one hole edge disposed thereon; and
at least one heat pipe, comprising an outer pipe, and an inner pipe passing through the outer pipe, and one end of the outer pipe being closed, and the other end of the outer pipe being open and communicating with the hole edge, and two ends of the inner pipe being open, and one end of the inner pipe communicating with inside of the vapor chamber through the hole edge and the other end of the inner pipe extended along an axial direction of the outer pipe to configure at least one port, and the one end of the outer pipe being closed communicating with the inner pipe through the port;
wherein, the inner pipe is disposed inside the outer pipe to configure a gap annularly, and the inner pipe communicates with the gap through the port, the vapor chamber and the heat pipe collectively comprise an inner loop that communicates inside of the vapor chamber with a lower distal end of the inner pipe, and communicates the port with inside of the outer pipe through inside of the inner pipe, and communicates to inside of the vapor chamber through the gap,
wherein, the vapor chamber comprises a capillary structure disposed therein,
the vapor chamber comprises a plurality of support structures disposed therein to support between the first board and the second board,
a capillary ring is disposed between the outer pipe and the lower distal end of the inner pipe,
the outer pipe of the heat pipe comprises a groove disposed on an inner wall thereof and extended along the axial direction from a closed end of the outer pipe till the capillary ring;
the capillary ring is formed by powder sintering and combined between the groove in a lower distal end of the outer pipe and an outer wall of the lower distal end of the inner pipe, in addition to providing a fixed combination of the outer pipe and the inner pipe, the capillary ring is mainly used for collecting liquid-state working fluid that passes through the gap and flows back into the capillary ring and then into the vapor chamber;
the support structures and the capillary structure are sintered in a one-piece form, and the capillary ring, the support structures and the capillary structure being sintered are all in the powder sintering, and
both of the first and second boards have a degassing part extended out from a side of the first board and the second board separately, and after the first and second boards cover with each other, a degassing port is reserved and provided for a degassing operation after the first and second boards are sealed.
