Solution Overview

Problem

Existing heat-sinking technologies for electronic components face issues with leakage and pressure maintenance due to uncontrolled water circulation, which affects the efficiency of heat dissipation in high heat flux scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A current stabilization and pressure boosting device comprising a heat-sinking module with stacked components forming semi-open inner flow channels and an outer case with a chamber, water inlet, and air outlet, where the fourth board surface at the ends of each channel prevents direct contact and ensures stable water retention and evaporation, allowing for quick discharge and maintaining internal pressure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If water circulation path is not restricted in heat spreaders, then water can circulate freely for heat dissipation, but water leakage occurs and pressure cannot be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidwater circulation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The heat spreader is divided into multiple sealed chambers with distinct water circulation paths. Each chamber has its own water inlet, water outlet, and heat dissipation channels, preventing uncontrolled water circulation and leakage while maintaining stable pressure in each segment independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A pressure control mechanism acts as an intermediary between the water circulation system and the external environment. This mechanism regulates water flow and maintains internal pressure by controlling the exchange between liquid and gaseous phases, preventing both leakage and pressure loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If large amount of water circulates in heat spreaders, then heat dissipation capacity increases, but leakage problems occur and pressure maintenance becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater circulation volumeVSAvoidwater leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs replaceable water storage chambers that can be independently replaced if leakage occurs. These chambers are designed to be easily interchangeable, allowing the system to maintain large water circulation volume while minimizing the impact of occasional leakage through simple component replacement rather than system-wide repairs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Temperature

If water circulation is unrestricted, then heat dissipation function is achieved, but internal pressure cannot be properly maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation functionVSAvoidinternal pressure maintenance
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStress or pressure

Solution Approach 1:

The system utilizes phase transitions between liquid and gaseous water to maintain internal pressure. A pressure control mechanism regulates the evaporation and condensation processes, allowing water to transition phases in a controlled manner that generates and maintains the necessary internal pressure for stable circulation while continuing to provide effective heat dissipation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

This configuration effectively prevents leakage and maintains stable water flow, enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency by ensuring that liquid water is stably heated and evaporated, leading to rapid pressure increase and efficient discharge through the air exhausting channel.

Implementation Method 1

the water inlet allows liquid water to flow in and evaporate in each of the inner flow channels

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectEvaporation: Evaporation

Implementation Method 2

one set of heat spreaders is used to evaporate in order to remove the heat absorbed by water

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHeat absorption: Absorption (physical)

Implementation Method 3

the fourth board surface can effectively block at both ends of each of the inner flow channels, so that the liquid water or gaseous water in each of the inner flow channels can be prevented from directly contacting the chamber and the outer lid

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectPhysical containment: Physical Containment

Implementation Method 4

liquid water can be stably heated and then evaporate thereby allowing gaseous water to be quickly discharged from the air exhausting channel

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectHeating: Heating

Implementation Method 5
