Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The continuous metal casing is segmented into multiple shielding strips arranged in parallel. These strips are spaced apart from each other, creating gaps that allow heat to dissipate while still maintaining electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. The segmentation transforms the solid casing into a lattice-like structure that simultaneously achieves both shielding and thermal management functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the shielding structure are designed with different properties. The shielding strips themselves maintain high electromagnetic shielding capability, while the spaces between strips provide thermal ventilation channels. This local differentiation allows the structure to optimize both electromagnetic protection and heat dissipation in different spatial zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

If circuit structures are shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference, then the electromagnetic compatibility is improved, but the heat dissipation capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic compatibilityVSAvoidheat dissipation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding structure is divided into multiple discrete strips rather than a continuous enclosure. This segmentation creates natural ventilation pathways between the strips, allowing heat generated by circuit structures to escape while the strips themselves continue to provide electromagnetic shielding for the enclosed circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding approach transitions from a three-dimensional enclosed casing to a two-dimensional array of parallel strips. This dimensional reduction opens up the interior space and creates channels for heat flow in the vertical and lateral directions, improving heat dissipation while maintaining the shielding function in the horizontal plane.
