Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional mold transformer is used, then the device achieves downsizing and improved voltage resistance, but the core heat cannot be efficiently dissipated
Solution Approach 1:
The insulator is segmented by providing holes extending from the external space toward the core, creating multiple heat dissipation pathways. This segmentation allows heat to be efficiently removed from the core region through the insulator structure without compromising electrical insulation, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational stability and core heat dissipation.
Solution Approach 2:
The insulator serves as an intermediary structure that performs dual functions: maintaining electrical insulation and facilitating heat dissipation. By incorporating heat dissipation holes within the insulator, the design enables the insulator to mediate between the core heat generation and external heat dissipation requirements, improving both reliability and thermal management.
2Temperature
If the insulator structure is made more complex to improve heat dissipation, then core heat can be moved to external space, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The insulator is segmented by providing holes extending from the external space toward the core, creating multiple heat dissipation pathways. This segmentation allows heat to be efficiently removed from the core region through the insulator structure without compromising electrical insulation, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational stability and core heat dissipation.
Solution Approach 2:
The insulator is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: electrical insulation and heat dissipation. By incorporating heat dissipation holes within the insulator structure, the same component serves dual purposes, avoiding the need for additional separate cooling structures and thereby reducing overall device complexity while improving heat dissipation.
