Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If air vents are used for heat dispersion, then heat dissipation is improved, but dust and rain water can enter the motor causing failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fan radiator as an intermediary component between the motor body and controller. This fan radiator includes a fan that forces air flow through designated paths, and a radiator structure with heat dissipation fins. The intermediary fan radiator system enables controlled heat dissipation while maintaining sealed enclosures, preventing dust and water ingress while improving thermal management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the heat dissipation function from the enclosure structure. The fan radiator is designed as a separate modular component with distinct heat dissipation fins and fan elements, allowing it to be mounted between the motor body and controller. This segmentation enables independent optimization of cooling performance while maintaining the integrity of the sealed motor housing.
2Temperature
If cast aluminum piece is used for controller box to increase heat dispersion, then heat dissipation is improved, but the enclosed structure prevents perfect heat dispersion causing high temperature
Solution Approach 1:
The fan radiator acts as an intermediary cooling system mounted between the motor body and controller. It includes a fan that actively circulates air and a radiator with heat dissipation fins that intercept heat from both the motor and controller. This intermediary system overcomes the limitation of the enclosed controller box by providing an external active cooling pathway.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new spatial dimension for heat dissipation by mounting the fan radiator between the motor body and controller. This intermediate space is utilized to create an external heat dissipation pathway, effectively adding a third dimension to the thermal management architecture beyond the traditional motor housing and controller enclosure.
3Device complexity
If conventional heat dispersion methods are used, then structure is simple, but operating temperature is relatively high leading to motor failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the cooling functions for both the motor body and controller into a single integrated fan radiator assembly. The fan radiator includes a common fan and radiator structure with heat dissipation fins that simultaneously cool both components. This merged approach improves reliability through effective thermal management while avoiding the complexity of separate cooling systems for each component.
