Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional fixed structural air guiding plate is used, then the heat dissipation is effective for a specific electronic device, but the compatibility with different electronic devices is poor and manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air guiding plate is designed to be rotatable relative to the heat dissipation member, transitioning from a fixed structure to a dynamic one. This allows the air guiding plate to adjust its orientation according to different electronic device configurations, particularly to direct airflow to components on the lee side of the fan, thereby maintaining effective heat dissipation across multiple device types without requiring different fixed structures for each device.
2Reliability
If additional air guiding plates are added to guide air to components on the lee side, then heat dissipation efficiency improves, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air guiding function with the existing heat dissipation member structure. The air guiding plate is integrated with the heat dissipation member through a rotatable connection, merging two functions (heat dissipation and air guidance) into a single integrated structure. This eliminates the need for separate, additional air guiding components while still achieving the goal of directing airflow to hard-to-reach components.
3Reliability
If multiple different air guiding plates are designed for different electronic devices, then each device gets optimal heat dissipation, but manufacturing productivity decreases and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation member with the rotatable air guiding plate is designed as a universal component that can be adapted to multiple different electronic devices. The rotatable connection allows the same basic structure to serve different configuration needs, eliminating the requirement to manufacture separate air guiding plates for each device type. This single universal design maintains optimal heat dissipation performance across various applications while significantly improving manufacturing efficiency.

AI summary
A heat dissipating module includes a heat dissipating member and an air flow guiding mechanism. The air flow guiding mechanism includes a base, an air guiding plate and a stopping structure. The base is disposed on a side of the heat dissipating member, and the air guiding plate is pivoted to the base. The stopping structure is disposed on the base. A side of the stopping structure abuts against the air guiding plate, so as to allow the air guiding plate to rotate in a first direction and to stop the air guiding plate from rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
