Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquid-cooled heat dissipation systems are bulky, inflexible, and have limited hydraulic pressure due to their reliance on traditional impeller centrifugal pumps, which also suffer from increased vibration at higher speeds, limiting their application in space-constrained environments.

Innovation Solution

A screw-type pumping device with a water pump shell, stator, and rotor, where the rotor and screw are integrally formed and rotate coaxially within a water pump chamber, allowing for higher hydraulic pressure output with reduced vibration and smaller size, enabling better space accommodation and longer service life.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If traditional impeller centrifugal method is used to extract liquid, then the pumping device can be made small-sized, but the hydraulic pressure is limited and cannot meet higher pressure requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepumping device sizeVSAvoidhydraulic pressure
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStress or pressure

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional impeller centrifugal mechanism with a screw-type pumping mechanism. The screw structure, when rotated within the pump chamber, creates progressive cavities that move liquid axially while building pressure, substituting the radial centrifugal force mechanism with an axial progressive displacement mechanism that achieves both compact size and high hydraulic pressure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental operating parameter from radial centrifugal acceleration to axial screw rotation. By altering the motion pattern from rotational centrifugal force to helical progressive displacement, the system achieves different performance characteristics including higher pressure output within a compact form factor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stress or pressure

If the diameter of the impeller is increased to improve hydraulic pressure, then higher pressure can be achieved, but more vibration occurs during rotation affecting service life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehydraulic pressureVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Stress or pressureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the impeller system with a screw-type rotor that rotates within a stator. This substitution eliminates the need for large-diameter impellers, as the screw mechanism generates pressure through axial progression rather than radial centrifugal force, thereby reducing rotational vibration and improving service life while maintaining high hydraulic pressure capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of manufacture

If external connection pipes are used to assemble the heat dissipation system, then the system can be easily assembled, but it occupies large space and has poor installation flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidsystem space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the pumping device with the heat dissipation system by providing a water pump shell that integrates the pump chamber, motor, and connection interfaces into a single compact unit. The first and second water ports are directly formed on the pump shell, eliminating the need for separate external connection pipes and reducing overall system volume while maintaining assembly ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The water pump shell serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the pump housing, contains the motor, provides mounting interfaces for the stator and rotor, and incorporates water ports for fluid connection. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components and external pipes needed, thereby reducing space occupation while maintaining ease of assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
