Plug Connector Heat Sink Adjustment to Prevent Sliding Damage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing connection devices cause damage due to sliding friction between plug connectors and heat dissipation blocks during insertion and removal, as the heat dissipation block is fixedly arranged and must abut against the plug connector to dissipate heat effectively.
Innovation Solution
A connection device with an adjustable heat dissipation block that uses an inclined guide surface and guide matching part to move closer to the plug connector only after insertion, and away during removal, avoiding direct contact and friction until a secure thermal connection is formed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the heat dissipation block is fixedly arranged on one side of the accommodation cavity to ensure effective heat dissipation, then the heat dissipation performance is improved, but sliding friction damage occurs between the plug connector and heat dissipation block during insertion and removal
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation block is transformed from a fixed structure to a movable one, capable of moving along the insertion direction of the plug connector. This dynamic adjustment allows the heat dissipation block to maintain optimal contact for heat dissipation while avoiding harmful sliding friction during insertion and removal operations
Solution Approach 2:
The heat dissipation block is pre-positioned at a first position away from the accommodation cavity before plug connector insertion. This preliminary positioning prevents contact during the insertion process, avoiding sliding friction damage, and only moves to the heat dissipation position after insertion is complete
2Reliability
If the heat dissipation block abuts against the plug connector to form heat conduction connection, then the thermal connection reliability is improved, but surface damage occurs during plug connector insertion and removal
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation block dynamically adjusts its position between a first position (away from plug connector) and a second position (abutting against plug connector). This ensures thermal connection reliability when needed while preserving surface integrity during insertion and removal by avoiding contact
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-positions the heat dissipation block away from the plug connector before insertion begins, and only establishes thermal contact after the plug connector is fully inserted, thereby protecting surfaces from friction damage while ensuring reliable thermal connection during operation
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
Prevents surface damage from sliding friction by ensuring the heat dissipation block abuts the plug connector only after it is fully inserted, maintaining a reliable thermal connection while minimizing contact during insertion and removal processes.
Implementation Method 1
the heat dissipation block is used for dissipating heat from the plug connector inserted into the accommodation cavity
Implementation Method 2
a sliding friction will be formed between the surface of the plug connector and the heat dissipation block, and the sliding friction will cause damage to the contacting surface
