Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid-cooling heat dissipating modules have inefficient heat dissipation due to unsatisfactory space utilization and pressure drop issues caused by dispersed components.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the water-cooling radiator, water-cooling head, and water pump are dispersedly arranged and connected through pipes, then the components can be independently assembled and maintained, but the space utilization is unsatisfied and pressure drop increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the water pump directly into the water-cooling head assembly, merging two previously separate components into one integrated unit. This reduces the overall space required while maintaining the functionality of both components independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The water pump is nested within or directly coupled to the water-cooling head assembly, allowing one component to be housed within or tightly integrated with another, thereby reducing the overall volume occupied by the system.
2Ease of manufacture
If the water-cooling radiator, water-cooling head, and water pump are dispersedly arranged and connected through pipes, then the components can be independently assembled and maintained, but the pressure drop is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The water pump is merged with the water-cooling head assembly, eliminating the need for long connecting pipes and reducing the number of connection points. This reduces friction losses and pressure drop in the fluid circulation system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the water pump from its traditional separate position and relocates it directly to the water-cooling head assembly, removing unnecessary pipe connections and reducing energy loss through friction.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional heat dissipation methods using thermal grease or heat sinks are used, then the implementation is simple and cost-effective, but the heat dissipation efficiency is unsatisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a liquid cooling system where coolant flows through channels in the water-cooling head assembly, using hydraulic principles to efficiently transfer heat from the heat-generating component to the radiator, achieving superior heat dissipation compared to thermal grease or heat sinks.
