Flat Display Far-Infrared Cooling for Thin Wall Mounts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat display apparatuses face challenges in achieving stable installation and efficient thermal radiation, particularly in wall-mounted installations where the thin design restricts airflow and hinders heat dissipation, and existing solutions either compromise on thickness or require additional components like auxiliary bases or far infrared radiation members that may not effectively manage heat distribution.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves a flat display apparatus with a housing that incorporates a first far infrared ray transfer member thermally connected to heating elements and a second far infrared ray transfer member at the rear surface, opposing each other with the housing in between, along with a support system that includes a sliding second support member for thermal connection and disconnection, allowing for efficient heat radiation without compromising the thin design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the flat display apparatus is made thinner, then the display panel can be installed closer to the wall, but the space in the housing is narrowed and ventilation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional mechanical ventilation system (air flow channels) with a thermal radiation system using far infrared ray transfer members. This substitution allows heat dissipation without requiring large air flow spaces, thus maintaining thin profile while improving heat radiation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces far infrared ray transfer members as intermediary components between the heating element and the external environment. These members facilitate heat transfer through thermal radiation rather than direct air convection, enabling effective heat dissipation in the limited space of thin housings.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the support table is improved for close contact with the wall, then installation stability is enhanced, but air flow in the rear surface side is worsened and thermal radiation is inhibited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces far infrared ray transfer members as intermediary components that facilitate heat transfer through thermal radiation. These members can be positioned to optimize both structural support and thermal radiation pathways, allowing close wall contact without compromising heat dissipation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from relying on air flow in the rear surface area to utilizing thermal radiation in the spectral dimension. By converting heat into far infrared radiation, the system can dissipate heat effectively without requiring large air flow spaces, thus maintaining close wall contact installation.
3Temperature
If conventional air flow spaces are provided for thermal radiation, then heat dissipation is improved, but the display apparatus cannot be made thinner
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical air flow-based cooling system with a thermal radiation system using far infrared ray transfer members. This substitution eliminates the need for large air flow channels and spaces, enabling the display apparatus to maintain a thin profile while achieving effective heat dissipation through radiative heat transfer.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the heat transfer mechanism from convective air flow to radiative heat transfer in the far infrared spectrum. This parameter change in the heat transfer mode allows efficient thermal radiation without requiring the physical space traditionally needed for air circulation channels.
