Abstract

A multi-angle adjustable and transformable heat pipe includes a sealed case body. A working fluid is filled in the sealed case body. At least one capillary structure is disposed on an inner wall of the sealed case body. The sealed case body has a front section, a rear section and a transformable flexible middle section. The middle section is positioned between the front section and the rear section in connection therewith. The middle section is composed of multiple support sections and multiple knot sections. The support sections and the knot sections are alternately arranged. Two sides of each knot section are respectively connected with adjacent support sections, whereby the support sections can be adjusted by the same angle or different angles with the knot sections serving as fulcrums so that the heat pipe can be multi-angle adjusted and transformed and located.
