Liquid Cooling Device Thread Adapter Nozzle Upgrade
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing liquid cooling devices require costly replacement when higher heat dissipation is needed, as increasing nozzle diameter improves efficiency, but replacing nozzles is inconvenient and expensive.
Innovation Solution
A liquid cooling device design featuring internal threads on the body and thread adapters allows for easy attachment and detachment of nozzles with different diameters, eliminating the need for full device replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the nozzle diameter is increased to improve heat dissipation performance, then the heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the device complexity and replacement cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid cooling device is divided into a body and a detachable nozzle component. The nozzle can be separated from the body and replaced independently, allowing users to upgrade heat dissipation performance by swapping nozzles rather than replacing the entire device. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by making the heat dissipation component modular and replaceable.
Solution Approach 2:
The nozzle is designed with movable connection features (internal threads on the body, external threads on the nozzle) that enable dynamic attachment and detachment. This dynamic design allows the nozzle to be easily replaced when higher heat dissipation is needed, avoiding the need to replace the entire liquid cooling device and reducing replacement complexity.
2Reliability
If a new liquid cooling device is purchased instead of replacing the nozzle, then the heat dissipation performance is improved, but the cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the liquid cooling device into a reusable body and replaceable nozzles, the patent enables cost-effective upgrades. Users can purchase and install different nozzles with varying diameters and heat dissipation capabilities without discarding the main device body, significantly reducing the cost of improving heat dissipation performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows changing the diameter parameter of the nozzle to achieve different heat dissipation performance levels. By providing nozzles with various diameter options that can be swapped into the same body, users can adjust the performance parameter without incurring the full cost of a new device, thus resolving the cost-performance contradiction.
3Reliability
If the nozzle is replaced to achieve higher heat dissipation, then the heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to replacement inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle connection design incorporates movable elements including internal threads on the body and external threads on the nozzle, along with positioning features like protrusions and recesses. This dynamic mechanical connection allows the nozzle to be easily attached and detached through simple screwing and unscrewing motions, making replacement convenient while maintaining secure connection during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The threaded connection structure acts as an intermediary mechanism between the nozzle and body, providing a standardized interface that simplifies the replacement process. The internal and external threads serve as the mediating feature that enables easy attachment and detachment, resolving the contradiction between improving heat dissipation through nozzle replacement and maintaining ease of operation.
