Culturing Device Airflow Cooling for Compact Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional culturing devices require additional cooling devices to manage heat from culturing lights, leading to increased volume and space occupation.
Innovation Solution
The culturing device incorporates a transparent plate and a cover that form an airflow channel, allowing airflow to cool the light emitting assembly without additional cooling assemblies, thus maintaining the device's volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a cooling device is added to cool the culturing lights, then the light emitting assembly can be cooled effectively, but the volume of the culturing device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the cooling function with the existing cover structure by forming an airflow channel between the cover and transparent plate. This integration eliminates the need for separate cooling devices, as the airflow channel itself serves as the cooling mechanism, thereby maintaining compact device volume while achieving effective cooling of the light emitting assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces airflow as an intermediary medium to transfer heat away from the light emitting assembly. The airflow channel acts as a mediator that enables heat dissipation without requiring direct contact with cooling components, allowing effective cooling while maintaining a compact structure.
2Temperature
If additional cooling assembly is installed, then cooling performance improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cooling function is merged into the existing cover and transparent plate structure, eliminating the need for separate cooling assemblies. The airflow channel is formed by the existing structural components, which simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining effective cooling performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The airflow channel utilizes natural or induced airflow within the existing device structure to achieve cooling. The system serves itself by using the available space between the cover and transparent plate as the cooling pathway, without requiring external cooling components or complex control mechanisms.
