Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If heat dissipating holes are used for heat dissipation, then heat dissipation function is provided, but dust enters through the holes causing reduced service life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A dust-proof net is introduced as an intermediary component between the heat dissipating holes and the internal electrical components. The dust-proof net allows heat to pass through while blocking dust particles, thus resolving the contradiction between heat dissipation efficiency and protection against dust contamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The dust-proof net functions as a thin film structure that covers the heat dissipating holes. This thin film allows thermal energy to pass through while providing a physical barrier against dust, maintaining heat dissipation effectiveness while protecting internal components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Temperature

If conventional heat dissipating holes are used, then heat dissipation is provided, but heat dissipation efficiency is low and effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation effectVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges multiple functions into the dust-proof net component: it serves as both a dust barrier and a heat dissipation facilitator. Additionally, the dust-proof nets are movably connected to allow adjustment, enabling optimization of heat dissipation pathways while maintaining dust protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The dust-proof nets are movably connected to the inner wall of the box body, allowing them to be adjusted or removed. This dynamic configuration enables optimization of heat dissipation efficiency by adjusting the net position or removing it when maximum heat dissipation is required, while still providing dust protection during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
