Water-Cooling Radiator Unit with Integrated Pump
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional water-cooling modules with a pump integrated into the water block occupy too much volume, making them unsuitable for electronic devices with limited internal space, and they lack efficient cooling fluid circulation.
Innovation Solution
A water-cooling radiator unit with a pump mounted on it, allowing a pump-less water block of reduced volume to be used, featuring a main body with flow passage systems and a transit zone filled with cooling fluid, where the pump drives circulation through blades, connected to a water block and tubes for efficient heat transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a pump is integrated into the water block, then the cooling fluid can be driven to circulate, but the volume of the water block increases making it unsuitable for narrow internal spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The pump is extracted from the water block and relocated to the water-cooling radiator unit. This separation allows the water block to maintain a compact size suitable for narrow internal spaces while the pump continues to drive cooling fluid circulation effectively through the system.
2Volume of moving object
If the water block volume is reduced to fit narrow spaces, then it can be installed in electronic devices with limited internal space, but the cooling fluid circulation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The water-cooling radiator unit serves as an intermediary that houses the pump and provides a transit zone for cooling fluid circulation. This intermediary structure enables efficient pump-driven circulation while allowing the water block itself to remain compact for installation in narrow spaces.
3Volume of moving object
If a pump is provided externally connected to the water block, then the water block volume can be reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pump is merged with the water-cooling radiator unit by mounting it on the radiator body within the transit zone. This integration reduces device complexity compared to external connections while still allowing the water block to maintain a reduced volume suitable for narrow internal spaces.
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
Enables the use of a compact water block in narrow spaces with improved cooling fluid circulation, reducing the risk of leakage and enhancing cooling efficiency in electronic devices with limited internal space.
Implementation Method 1
a pump mounted in the transit zone and including a plurality of blades for driving the cooling fluid filled in the main body to circulate in the main body
Implementation Method 2
The water block has a heat-exchange interface, which is in direct contact with an electronic element to absorb heat produced by the electronic element. The heat absorbed by the heat-exchange interface is transferred to and carried by the cooling fluid away from the water block.
Implementation Method 3
The heat-carrying cooling fluid is then guided by one of the tubes to the water-cooling radiator, which is disposed outside the electronic device, and is cooled.

AI summary
A water-cooling radiator unit and a water-cooling module using same are disclosed. The water-cooling radiator unit includes a main body divided into a first section, a second section and a transit zone, which are fluidly communicable with one another. The first section has a first flow passage system and an inlet formed thereon, the second section has a second flow passage system and an outlet formed thereon. The main body is internally filled with a cooling fluid, and the transit zone has a pump mounted therein. The water-cooling radiator unit can be fluidly connected to a water block via two tubes to form a water-cooling module. The pump drives the cooling fluid to circulate in the main body and between the water-cooling radiator unit and the water block, enabling the water-cooling module to provide upgraded heat-dissipation performance while the water block has a reduced volume.
