Solution Approach 1:

The test system is divided into independent functional modules: a fan assembly, a radiator assembly, a hood assembly, and a test bed. Each module can be independently adjusted and tested, allowing systematic evaluation of heat dissipation and noise performance while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a control system as an intermediary that coordinates the fan, radiator, and hood assemblies. This control system manages the complex interactions between components, enabling accurate measurement of heat dissipation and noise while simplifying the operation and data collection processes.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs adjustable components including a variable pitch fan blade angle mechanism and an adjustable radiator position system. These dynamic adjustments allow the system to optimize heat dissipation at different operating conditions while controlling noise levels through adaptive configuration of component positions and orientations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The test system varies multiple parameters simultaneously including fan speed, radiator distance from the fan, hood position, and air inlet/outlet opening areas. By systematically changing these parameters, the patent identifies optimal configurations that achieve both effective heat dissipation and acceptable noise levels through multi-parameter optimization.

Solution Approach 1:

The test system incorporates real-time measurement and feedback mechanisms that monitor heat dissipation performance and noise levels during testing. This feedback information is used to adjust component positions and configurations, enabling precise optimization of installation parameters while maintaining efficient design processes through iterative improvement based on actual performance data.
