Solution Overview

Problem

Existing notebook coolers are ineffective in accelerating air circulation inside notebooks, leading to unsatisfactory cooling and high CPU temperatures during long-term use, which compromises performance and risks damage.

Innovation Solution

A notebook cooler with a pressurizing function that uses a soft sealing element and a turbofan to create an airtight space, pressurizing air into the notebook through cooling holes to enhance air circulation and heat dissipation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a fan blows air to the bottom of the notebook, then the temperature of the shell decreases, but the air circulation inside the notebook is not effectively accelerated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshell temperatureVSAvoidair circulation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the cooling function into two distinct parts: external shell cooling (maintained by the fan) and internal component cooling (achieved by the pressurizing pump forcing air through internal channels). This segmentation allows each part to optimize its function independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces an intermediary mechanism (the pressurizing pump and sealed chamber system) that acts as a mediator between the external fan and the internal notebook components. This intermediary forces air circulation through the notebook's internal structure, bridging the gap between external cooling and internal heat dissipation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If air circulation at the bottom of the notebook is accelerated, then shell cooling is improved, but heat generated during operation cannot be dissipated in time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshell temperatureVSAvoidheat dissipation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs pneumatic principles by using a pressurizing pump to force air through the notebook's internal structure. This pneumatic system creates controlled air flow paths that directly reach heat-generating components, enabling effective heat dissipation through forced convection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies local quality by directing cooled, pressurized air specifically to the notebook's internal components and heat-generating areas through dedicated channels and holes. This localized cooling approach ensures that critical components receive adequate cooling without requiring uniform cooling across the entire shell.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Stress or pressure

If a soft sealing element is used to create an airtight space, then air pressurization is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair pressureVSAvoidsealing structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stress or pressureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses a flexible soft sealing element (made of silicone rubber or similar material) to create the sealed chamber. This flexible membrane simplifies the sealing structure compared to rigid sealed enclosures, as it can conform to the notebook's surface and be integrated into the cooler's existing structure without requiring complex gaskets or seals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

A notebook cooler with a pressurizing function comprises a cooler body and one or more soft sealing elements detachably disposed on the cooler body. A notebook is placed on the soft sealing element, an airtight space is defined by the bottom of the notebook, the soft selling element and the cooler body, and a cooling fan is disposed in the airtight space. The circular soft sealing element is laid on the notebook cooler, so that an airtight space is defined by the bottom of the notebook, the soft sealing element and the cooler body; a turbofan sucks air from the bottom of the cooler and presses the air into the airtight space; and the cooler can press air into the notebook via cooling holes in the bottom of the notebook to effectively accelerate air circulation in the notebook, so that elements in the notebook can be rapidly cooled.
