Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If heat dissipation holes are located on the top region of the case to meet overall heat dissipation requirement, then overall heat dissipation is improved, but temperature distribution becomes uneven with center temperature significantly higher than sides

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidtemperature distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing heat dissipation holes at different densities in different regions of the case. Specifically, more heat dissipation holes are arranged in the center region where the main chip is located and heat concentration is highest, while fewer holes are placed at the sides. This non-uniform distribution optimizes heat dissipation at each local region according to its heat generation characteristics, resolving the contradiction between overall heat dissipation efficiency and temperature distribution uniformity.

Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If main chip is located at center of electronic product, then functional integration is improved, but heat concentration at center causes uneven temperature distribution

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent addresses the heat concentration problem caused by central chip placement by implementing local quality through region-specific heat dissipation hole distribution. The center region, which experiences highest heat concentration due to the main chip, is equipped with a higher density of heat dissipation holes. This localized optimization allows the system to maintain central chip placement for functional integration while effectively managing the resulting heat concentration through enhanced local heat dissipation capacity.
