Abstract
A heat pipe shaping device comprises a rectangular table, and each lateral surface of the table has a work station. The top plate of the table is elevated by a plurality of supporting rods at a periphery of the table. A vacuum manifold is connected to the top plate. Thereby, the vacuum manifold is connected to a vacuum pump. A welding gun is positioned at the top plate so that the welding gun is connected to a welding machine. Each work station is connected to a surface of the rotary disk on the table and the rotary disk is driven by a motor in the table. Each work station on the rotary disk has an supporter. A top of each supporter is installed with a pressing unit and a cutting unit. One end of the vacuum manifold is installed with a clamping unit for clamping a heat pipe to pump into a vacuum condition,. The heat pipe is then pressed to seal the opening, and the distal end is cut by the cutting unit, and finally, the opening is spot-welded. The vacuum manifold and the welding gun are positioned above the alternative spaced work stations for performing the operations of clamping a heat pipe, pumping to a vacuum, pressing and cutting, spot-welding, releasing the holding unit.
