Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional integrated water-cooling radiators suffer from vibration-induced CPU instability, accelerated screw aging due to pump weight, limited cooling liquid capacity, and aesthetically unappealing wire management, which affects performance and attractiveness.

Innovation Solution

An integrated radiator design featuring a water chamber, control panel, and water pump assembly where the pump is integrated on the cooler, reducing weight and vibration impact, with a control panel managing fan and block wires, and additional water chambers for increased liquid capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the water pump is installed on the block, then the cooling system can function, but the water pump generates vibration that affects CPU stability and exerts load that accelerates screw aging

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCPU stabilityVSAvoidvibration and load from water pump
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The water pump is extracted from the block and relocated to the lower end of the cooler. This separation removes the vibration source and weight load from the block and mainboard area, eliminating the harmful effects on CPU stability and screw aging while maintaining the cooling system's functionality through the pump's continued operation in its new location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Quantity of substance

If traditional integrated water-cooling radiators are used, then the structure is simple, but the water chamber capacity is limited and cooling liquid quantity is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecooling liquid capacityVSAvoidradiator structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The water chamber is merged with the cooler structure, forming an integrated design where the chamber is positioned at the lower end of the cooler. This combination increases the cooling liquid capacity while avoiding the complexity of separate, distributed water chambers, as the single large chamber serves the entire cooling system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wires are guided out for fan and block RGB effects, then the lighting functionality is achieved, but the internal attractiveness of the case is severely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRGB lighting functionalityVSAvoidcase internal aesthetics
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The control panels of the fan and water block are merged into a single integrated control panel located on the cooler. This consolidation allows all wire connections to be routed through one location rather than multiple separate connection points, maintaining the RGB lighting functionality while significantly improving case internal aesthetics by reducing wire clutter and creating a cleaner installation appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The invention relates to the technical field of water-cooling radiators, in particular to an integrated radiator provided with a water chamber, a control panel, and a water pump. The control panel is provided with a port set electrically connected with the control panel. According to the integrated radiator, the water pump assembly is integrated on the cooler through reasonable design, so that the weight of a block is effectively reduced. Meanwhile, wires of a fan and the block are connected to the port set on the control panel to be prevented from being suspended in a case, so that the internal attractiveness of the case is improved; besides, more cooling liquid is contained, so that the service life of the integrated water-cooling radiator is prolonged.
