Pivoting Palm Component Mechanism for E-Sports Notebook Heat Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current e-sports notebooks generate excessive heat during gaming, causing discomfort due to high surface temperatures at the keyboard area, and existing solutions like additional plates either require manual disassembly or reduce heat dissipation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device design featuring a first body, a second body, and a pivotally connected palm component with a sliding mechanism that allows the palm component to protrude and tilt, creating a comfortable angle for user contact while avoiding direct contact with the high-temperature second body, thereby enhancing user comfort and maintaining heat dissipation efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If an additional plate is arranged on the keyboard supporting area to avoid user contact with high temperature, then user comfort is improved, but the plate reduces heat dissipation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The palm component is designed to be movable relative to the keyboard supporting area, capable of protruding when the lid is opened and retracting when closed. This dynamic structure allows the system to provide thermal protection only when needed (during use), while maintaining optimal heat dissipation when the device is closed and not in operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The palm component is extracted as a separate, independently controllable element from the main keyboard supporting area. This allows it to be selectively deployed to provide thermal protection without permanently blocking the heat dissipation pathways of the entire keyboard area.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the palm component is designed to protrude from the second body, then user comfort is improved by avoiding high temperature contact, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The palm component's protruding and retracting motion is merged with the existing lid opening and closing actions. The same pivotal connection that enables the lid to open also drives the palm component to protrude, eliminating the need for separate actuation mechanisms and reducing overall structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivotal connection structure serves multiple functions: it enables the lid to open and close, simultaneously drives the palm component to protrude and retract, and provides the tilting motion for ergonomic positioning. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate mechanisms needed.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design effectively reduces user discomfort by allowing the palm component to protrude and tilt, providing a comfortable operating position while maintaining efficient heat dissipation, thus addressing the heat management issues in e-sports notebooks.
Implementation Method 1
When the first body is pivotally rotated away from the second body, the second body is driven to make the sliding portion move along the guiding portion
Implementation Method 2
The second body is pivotally connected to a first side of the supporting portion... the first body is pivotally rotated away from the second body

AI summary
An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a palm component. One end of the first body comprises a supporting portion. The second body is pivotally connected to a first side of the supporting portion and comprises a sliding portion. The palm component is pivotally connected to a second side of the supporting portion and comprises a guiding portion. The sliding portion is movably connected to the guiding portion. When the first body is pivotally rotated and expended relative to the second body, the second body is driven to make the sliding portion move along the guiding portion, and the second side of the supporting portion rotates relative to the first end of the supporting portion to make the palm component protrude from the second body. A tilt angle is formed between the second body and the protruding palm component.
