Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with cooling plates and circuit boards connected through holes face challenges in suppressing noise interference between the circuit boards.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device incorporates a cooling plate with a through-hole, a first circuit board on one surface, a second circuit board on the back surface, a connector for electrical connection, a shield wall surrounding the first electronic component, and a shield lid enclosing the ground conductor, forming an electromagnetic shield body to restrict noise influence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a through-hole is provided in the cooling plate to electrically connect the first circuit board to the second circuit board, then electrical connection between circuit boards is achieved, but noise interference between the circuit boards increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the cooling plate into functionally separated zones: a first region containing the through-hole for electrical connection and a second region containing the shield wall for noise shielding. This segmentation allows the through-hole to perform its electrical connection function while the shield wall independently performs noise interference prevention, resolving the contradiction between achieving electrical connectivity and preventing noise transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The shield wall acts as an intermediary element between the first and second circuit boards. It is positioned adjacent to the cooling plate to intercept and block noise generated by electronic components on either board before the noise can propagate through the through-hole to the other board, thus mediating the harmful interaction while preserving the electrical connection function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If electronic components are mounted on both sides of the cooling plate, then device functionality is enhanced, but noise interference between components on different sides increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The shield wall is strategically positioned in the region adjacent to the cooling plate where noise interference occurs. This localized shielding approach provides noise protection specifically in the critical area where electronic components on opposite sides of the cooling plate may interfere with each other, while maintaining the overall device functionality enabled by having components on both sides.
