Solution Overview
Problem
Power apparatus panels with ventilating holes and heat dissipation nets face challenges in durability and appearance due to deformation risks, complicating manufacturing and aesthetics.
Innovation Solution
A panel structure with transverse parallel heat dissipation holes, a connecting portion, and vertically disposed reinforcement ribs, along with a heat dissipation net and L-shaped locking units, enhances durability and appearance by preventing deformation and simplifying manufacturing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If ventilating holes are provided on the panel for heat dissipation, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the panel may collapse or deform easily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing reinforcement ribs specifically at the connecting portions between heat dissipation holes, rather than uniformly reinforcing the entire panel. This localized reinforcement maintains panel strength at critical areas while preserving heat dissipation efficiency through the holes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a vertical dimension by adding reinforcement ribs that extend vertically at the connecting portions between heat dissipation holes. This vertical reinforcement structure prevents panel collapse without blocking the horizontal heat dissipation pathways.
2Strength
If ribs are provided to support the panel and prevent deformation, then panel strength is improved, but the manufacturing procedure becomes complicated and appearance is influenced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the reinforcement ribs with the connecting portions between heat dissipation holes, making the reinforcement structure an integrated part of the panel rather than a separate component. This integration simplifies manufacturing by reducing the number of parts and assembly steps while maintaining structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The reinforcement structure is segmented into discrete ribs positioned at specific connecting portions between heat dissipation holes. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual rib elements that can be easily integrated into the panel structure.
