Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing connector designs require separate installation and fixation of a liquid cooling block, leading to complex installation steps and inconvenient use.
Innovation Solution
The liquid cooling block, housing, and radiator are assembled into an integral piece, with features like installation ribs, snap slots, and elastic pieces ensuring secure attachment without separate installation steps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the liquid cooling block is installed separately on the housing, then the connector can be cooled, but the installation steps become complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid cooling block is integrated with the housing to form an integral piece, combining two separate components (housing and liquid cooling block) into one unified structure. This eliminates the need for separate installation of the liquid cooling block and simplifies the installation process while maintaining the heat dissipation function
2Temperature
If the liquid cooling block is installed separately on the housing, then the connector can be cooled, but the installation steps become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The housing and liquid cooling block are merged into an integral piece, reducing the number of separate components that need to be installed. This integration eliminates complex installation steps involving multiple parts while preserving the thermal cooling functionality
3Ease of operation
If the liquid cooling block is integrated with the housing, then the installation process is simplified, but the structural design becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The integral piece is designed with segmented features including installation ribs, snap slots, and elastic pieces that divide the integration into functional modules. These segmented structural elements make the complex integration manageable through standardized connection mechanisms
4Ease of operation
If the liquid cooling block is integrated with the housing, then the installation process is simplified, but secure attachment requires additional structural features
Solution Approach 1:
Installation ribs, snap slots, and elastic pieces are pre-designed and pre-positioned on the integral piece during manufacturing. These preliminary structural features are prepared in advance to enable secure attachment without requiring additional installation steps or complex assembly operations
