Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation member is divided into multiple layers (first heat dissipation layer, second heat dissipation layer, and third heat dissipation layer) with different materials and thermal conductivities. Each layer segments the heat dissipation function to optimize thermal management, with the second layer having higher thermal conductivity for rapid heat transfer and the first and third layers providing additional heat dissipation capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation member uses composite material structure with at least two different materials having different thermal conductivities. The second heat dissipation layer uses material with higher thermal conductivity (e.g., metal or graphite) while the first and third layers use materials with lower thermal conductivity, creating a composite structure that optimizes both heat dissipation speed and thermal distribution.

Solution Approach 1:

Different heat dissipation layers are designed with different thicknesses according to their specific functions. The second heat dissipation layer (with higher thermal conductivity) has smaller thickness to enable rapid heat transfer, while the first and third layers have larger thicknesses to provide additional heat dissipation capacity and thermal distribution, optimizing heat dissipation efficiency through localized thickness variation.
