Solution Overview

Problem

The existing storage trays for heat radiating plates can cause a decrease in the connecting force between the heat radiating plates and the substrate due to adhesion of components like ABS resin or antistatic agents, which deteriorate the adhesive properties of the epoxy-based adhesive, leading to potential detachment during transportation or long-term storage.

Innovation Solution

A heat radiating plate storage tray with projection portions on its surface that support the heat radiating plates, preventing contact between the flange portions and the tray, thereby maintaining the adhesive integrity by ensuring a clearance between the flange and the tray surface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If heat radiating plates are stored on a flat storage tray surface, then transportation and storage are simplified, but the flange portions adhere to the tray due to ABS resin and antistatic agent components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation convenienceVSAvoidadhesive property
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The storage tray surface is segmented into multiple projection portions that create discrete support points. These projections divide the contact area between the tray and heat radiating plates, ensuring that the flange portions are supported at specific locations rather than having continuous contact with the tray surface, thereby preventing adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The storage tray transitions from a two-dimensional flat surface to a three-dimensional structure with protruding projection portions. This dimensional change creates vertical clearance between the tray surface and the flange portions, preventing the adhesion problem while maintaining the storage function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Quantity of substance

If the storage tray directly contacts the flange portions, then storage capacity is maximized, but adhesive components transfer to the flange portions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidadhesive contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The projection portions act as intermediary structures between the storage tray and the heat radiating plates. They provide the necessary support and contact points while preventing direct contact between the flange portions and the tray surface, thereby blocking the transfer of adhesive components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The storage tray is designed with localized projection portions at specific positions rather than a uniform surface. This local quality approach provides contact points only where needed for support, while maintaining clearance in other areas to prevent adhesion of the flange portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If projection portions are added to prevent adhesion, then adhesive property is maintained, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive integrityVSAvoidtray structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projection portions are simple segmented structures that can be easily integrated into the storage tray manufacturing process. Each projection is a basic geometric form, and their repetitive pattern simplifies the overall design and production while effectively preventing adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A heat radiating plate storage tray has a plate main body, and a plurality of first projection portions provided on a first surface of the plate main body. A heat radiating plate having a rectangular recessed portion on a surface thereof is capable of being mounted on the first surface of the plate main body, a top face of the first projection portion supports a bottom face of the recessed portion of the heat radiating plate, and a height of the first projection portion is larger than a depth of the recessed portion of the heat radiating plate.
