Rotatable Fluid Guide Assembly for Compact Electronics Cooling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic apparatuses face challenges in effectively dissipating heat due to limited space, which restricts the efficient guidance of gas or liquid for heat dissipation, leading to degraded efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A fluid device comprising an assembly portion, block portion, and shaft portion, with stop portions for secure assembly, and optionally including a heat transfer module, allows for the guidance and disturbance of fluids to dissipate heat by rotating or moving the block portion to direct fluids to heat sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If gas or liquid is used for heat dissipation in electronic apparatuses, then heat dissipation capability is improved, but limited internal space prevents effective fluid guidance, resulting in degraded heat dissipation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The fluid device is divided into distinct functional segments: an assembly portion for mounting to the electronic apparatus, a block portion with multiple block elements for guiding and disturbing the fluid, and a shaft portion for rotation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently within the constrained space, resolving the contradiction between heat dissipation capability and space limitation.
Solution Approach 2:
The block portion is designed to be rotatable relative to the assembly portion via the shaft portion. This dynamic configuration allows the block elements to change positions and orientations, creating varying fluid guidance patterns and disturbance effects. The rotational capability enables the system to adapt fluid flow paths dynamically, maximizing heat dissipation efficiency within the limited internal space of the electronic apparatus.
2Productivity
If the block portion is made rotatable to guide fluid effectively, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but assembly security and positioning precision may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The stop portion is pre-configured on either the assembly portion or the shaft portion to engage with a corresponding stop portion on the block portion or assembly portion before rotation occurs. This preliminary positioning action establishes a secure reference point that ensures accurate initial placement and maintains assembly security throughout the rotational operation, preventing unintended displacement while allowing controlled rotation for fluid guidance.
