Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional network devices face challenges in achieving efficient heat radiation and diversified installation options, particularly with the demand for miniaturization and multifunctionality, as larger housings are required for improved radiation but hinder miniaturization and are not adaptable to various installation environments.
Innovation Solution
An attachment mechanism that includes a heat radiation member and an attachment member, such as a magnet, allowing network devices to be mounted on walls or desks, with a releasable structure for multiple orientations, and a support member with heat conductive parts for effective heat dissipation and stability, separating the heat radiation and attachment functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the housing size is increased to improve heat radiation efficiency, then heat radiation efficiency is improved, but the device size increases which contradicts the demand for miniaturization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the attachment function and heat radiation function into a single integrated attachment mechanism. The attachment member includes both attachment portions for securing the device and heat radiation portions with heat dissipation fins, eliminating the need for separate heat radiation structures and reducing overall device volume while maintaining effective heat dissipation.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously: it attaches the network device to walls or desks, provides heat radiation through integrated fins, and offers diversified installation orientations. This multi-functionality allows compact design without sacrificing heat radiation efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional attachment methods are used, then the device can be mounted, but installation options are limited and do not meet diversified user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is designed with multiple attachment portions and heat radiation portions that can be oriented in different directions, enabling the device to be installed on walls, desks, or other surfaces in various orientations. This universal design meets diverse user preferences without requiring multiple separate attachment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment mechanism is divided into multiple attachment portions and heat radiation portions that can be independently configured. This segmentation allows flexible arrangement and orientation of components to suit different installation environments while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
