Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face challenges in efficiently dissipating heat in high-temperature environments without increasing noise and power consumption, as excessive heat dissipation fans can lead to noise and higher power usage.

Innovation Solution

A heat dissipation device with a temperature monitoring unit, control unit, and movement unit that strategically positions a limited number of heat dissipation fans to the hottest regions based on temperature thresholds and priorities, using mechanical arms or sliding blocks to optimize cooling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If multiple heat dissipation fans are arranged to dissipate heat more effectively, then heat dissipation effect is improved, but noise and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation effectVSAvoidnoise
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a movable heat dissipation fan that can dynamically change its position based on real-time temperature monitoring of different display regions. The fan moves to the region with the highest temperature, allowing a single fan to effectively cool multiple different hot spots sequentially, thereby reducing the total number of fans needed and lowering noise and power consumption while maintaining effective heat dissipation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The single heat dissipation fan serves multiple functions by being able to cool different display regions at different times. Through the movement mechanism, one fan replaces multiple stationary fans, each dedicated to a specific region, making the fan system universal and adaptable to various heat generation patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Temperature

If multiple heat dissipation fans are arranged to dissipate heat more effectively, then heat dissipation effect is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation effectVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a single fan with movement capability instead of multiple stationary fans. The fan is controlled to operate only when and where needed based on temperature monitoring, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining effective cooling through strategic positioning at hot spots

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential cooling function from multiple fans and concentrates it into a single movable fan unit. By taking out the movement capability and control system, the design achieves the same cooling effect with fewer components, thereby reducing power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If temperature monitoring and movement control are added, then heat dissipation precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature monitoring precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical multi-fan systems with a simpler single-fan system controlled by electronic temperature monitoring and movement mechanisms. The electronic control system integrates temperature detection, region analysis, and fan positioning into a unified control architecture that is easier to manufacture and maintain than multiple independent fan assemblies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
