Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing deployment of base stations on ground surface with separate cabinets for equipment, power supply, and heat dissipation systems occupies significant space, affecting aesthetics and being prone to theft.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a tube tower with a compartmentalized structure that includes a sealing room for base station components and a heat dissipation apparatus, featuring internal and external air ducts and heat exchangers, allowing for efficient heat transfer and eliminating the need for external cabinets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a cabinet is separately deployed around a tube tower to mount equipment and power supply, then the equipment can be properly accommodated, but the external space is occupied and aesthetics are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the previously separate cabinet structure with the tube tower by integrating the equipment accommodation space inside the tower's accommodation compartment. The compartment door with sealing and ventilation features provides secure access while the tower wall itself becomes the enclosure, eliminating the need for external cabinets and reducing ground space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The equipment, power supply, and heat dissipation apparatus are nested within the tube tower's internal accommodation space. The compartment door system with air intake and exhaust vents is nested within the tower structure, allowing functional integration without external attachments.
2Ease of manufacture
If a cabinet is separately deployed around a tube tower, then equipment mounting is straightforward, but the structure becomes complex and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (equipment mounting, power supply placement, heat dissipation, and security enclosure) into a single integrated tube tower structure. The compartment door system provides both security and ventilation functions, reducing the number of separate components needed.
3Temperature
If heat dissipation system is externally disposed, then cooling function is provided, but space is occupied and aesthetics are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation apparatus is merged with the tube tower structure by installing it within the accommodation compartment. The apparatus uses the compartment door's air intake vent to draw in cooling air and the air exhaust vent to discharge heated air, utilizing the tower's existing ventilation openings for heat dissipation without external components.
Solution Approach 2:
The heat dissipation apparatus is nested within the internal accommodation space of the tube tower, with its air intake and exhaust paths integrated into the compartment door system. This nesting eliminates the need for external heat dissipation structures.
