Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing integrated water cooling systems for personal computers face issues with poor assembly stability due to magnetic suction, requiring fixed parts to maintain fan position, which is inefficient and unstable.
Innovation Solution
A press type assembled fan design featuring a frame with slidably connected push plates and a fastener-buckle mechanism for detachable fan connections, along with electrical connectors, allowing easy assembly and enhanced stability through a gear-rack system and elastic members for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If magnetic suction is used to connect fans, then assembly is simple, but assembly stability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the magnetic suction connection system with a mechanical press-type fastening system. The fastener includes a pressing component that can be pressed to release or lock the buckle, providing a reliable mechanical connection instead of relying on magnetic force. This mechanical system ensures stable assembly while maintaining ease of operation through the pressing action.
2Reliability
If fixed parts are added to limit fan position, then assembly stability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the positioning function and the fastening function into a single integrated buckle mechanism. The buckle not only connects the fans but also inherently limits the horizontal position through its geometric design. This eliminates the need for separate fixed parts, maintaining assembly stability while avoiding increased structural complexity.
3Reliability
If press type fastening mechanism is used, then assembly stability improves, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an elastic component within the fastener that provides dynamic response to pressing forces. When the pressing component is pressed, the elastic member deforms to allow buckles to engage or disengage smoothly. This dynamic mechanism maintains ease of operation through simple pressing actions while ensuring stable assembly through the elastic locking action.

AI summary
A press type assembled fan is provided. The fan includes a frame and fan blades installed on the frame. One side of the frame is provided with a first electrical connector and slidably provided with a first push plate, an outer end face of the first push plate is rotatably connected with a fastener; the other side of the frame is provided with a second electrical connector and slidably provided with a second push plate. The second push plate is provided with a buckle corresponding to the fastener, the fastener is configured to detachably connect with the buckle; when the push plate slides along one side of the frame, the first fastener rotates along the push plate. This press type assembled fan is provided to solve a problem of poor assembly stability of fans in the existing technology during use.
