1. A heat pipe with micro tube arrays, the heat pipe comprising:
- a solid heat conductor having an integral structure including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the solid heat conductor forms an integral plane;
two or more parallel through micro tubes within the solid heat conductor, each of the micro tubes comprising;
a working medium that is operable to exchange heat through phase change;
a sealed end at the first end of the solid heat conductor, the sealed end closing each of the two or more parallel through micro tubes from communication with each other at the sealed end, the two or more parallel through micro tubes sealed from communication with each other in a half of the solid heat conductor that includes the first end; and
the first end of the solid heat conductor comprising upper walls and lower walls of the micro tubes, the first end including the sealed end of the two or more parallel through micro tubes;
two outer side walls of two micro tubes located at two sides of the solid heat conductor;
midwalls separating every two adjacent micro tubes, wherein neighboring micro tubes share a common midwall;
a homogenous sealing strip forming the sealed end of the two or more parallel through micro tubes and comprising homogenous material of the upper walls, lower walls and midwalls that is deformed from portions of the upper and lower walls, portions of the outer side walls, and portions of the midwalls;
wherein at least one solid strip is provided within the solid heat conductor and extends in a direction parallel to a length direction of the micro tubes, and has a same height as a height of the solid heat conductor; and
an acute tip line providing resistance to inner pressure, wherein the sealing strip has a thickness formed by two arcs that gradually and continuously decreases toward an acute tip point.
