Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a heat dissipation fan is used to improve heat dissipation performance, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but noise is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical heat dissipation fan system with an electromagnetic vibration system. A vibration element is driven by an electromagnetic driving unit to generate vibrations that propagate through the housing, creating acoustic waves that enhance heat dissipation without mechanical fan noise. This substitution eliminates the harmful noise while maintaining heat dissipation effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes phase transition of acoustic energy to thermal energy dissipation. The vibration element generates mechanical vibrations that are converted into acoustic waves within the housing, and these acoustic waves subsequently convert to thermal energy through interaction with the housing walls and air molecules, achieving heat dissipation through a phase transition mechanism rather than direct fan airflow.

If the heat dissipation structure is made compact to reduce device size, then device compactness is improved, but heat dissipation efficiency may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional three-dimensional space-consuming fan structures to a one-dimensional vibration propagation approach. The vibration element generates vibrations that propagate through the housing walls in a wave manner, utilizing the housing structure itself as the heat dissipation pathway. This dimensional change allows effective heat dissipation within a compact volume without requiring large airflow paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing structure serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, acts as a vibration transmission medium for heat dissipation, and functions as a resonating chamber for acoustic wave generation. By making the housing multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for separate dedicated heat dissipation components, achieving compactness while maintaining heat dissipation efficiency.
