Mobile Cooler Structure for Airflow-Guided Cooling and Wireless Charging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cooling devices for mobile electronic devices often compromise portability and stability due to their mounting-type structure, which can lead to inefficient cooling and increased battery consumption, especially when handling high-processing tasks, and wired charging further limits mobility.
Innovation Solution
A cooler with a housing structure that optimizes airflow from the processor to a fan assembly for efficient cooling, while providing a mounting system that absorbs external impacts and includes a separate battery for wireless charging, maintaining device stability and mobility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a mounting-type cooling device is used for mobile electronic devices, then cooling function is provided, but portability is deteriorated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (cooling, charging, and portable power supply) into a single integrated device. The cooling device includes a battery that can charge the mobile electronic device wirelessly, eliminating the need for separate cooling accessories and wired charging cables, thus improving portability while maintaining cooling efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The cooling device is designed with multi-functionality: it provides cooling through a fan, charges the mobile device wirelessly through a charging coil, and can also serve as a portable power supply. This universal design reduces the number of separate accessories needed, improving portability without sacrificing cooling performance.
2Temperature
If air is blown toward the rear surface of the mobile electronic device, then cooling is provided, but cooling efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fluid channel that directs air flow specifically to the processor area, which is the primary heat-generating component. This localized cooling approach improves cooling efficiency by concentrating cooling effort where it is most needed, rather than simply blowing air across the entire rear surface.
3Use of energy by moving object
If wired charging is used to alleviate battery consumption, then battery life is extended, but mobility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired charging system with a wireless charging system using electromagnetic induction. The cooling device includes a charging coil that wirelessly transfers power to the mobile device, eliminating the need for physical cable connections and maintaining mobility while extending battery life.
4Ease of operation
If conventional mounting structure is used, then device is held, but stability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a shock-absorbing structure in the mounting mechanism that cushions external impacts before they reach the mobile electronic device. This beforehand cushioning protects the device from shocks and vibrations, improving holding stability during portable use.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The cooler achieves high cooling efficiency by directing airflow effectively and provides stable wireless charging, ensuring the mobile device can handle high-processing tasks without compromising portability or battery life.
Implementation Method 1
a fan assembly disposed in the interior space of the housing and including a rotary shaft formed in a direction toward the first surface from the second surface
Implementation Method 2
the cooler may charge the mobile electronic device mounted on the cooler, by using the separate battery included in the cooler
