Solution Overview

Problem

The reliability of heat dissipation in electronic devices is compromised due to thermally conductive adhesive falling off during high-temperature soldering, leading to poor heat dissipation and prolonged repair times.

Innovation Solution

A circuit board assembly with a flexible sealing bag containing a filler material, which accommodates the electronic element and ensures a large heat exchange area, preventing adhesive loss and facilitating easy repair by allowing the filler to be stuffed after soldering, while also supporting the element and reducing electromagnetic interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If thermally conductive adhesive is applied to electronic elements for heat dissipation, then heat dissipation function is achieved, but the adhesive falls off during high-temperature soldering, reducing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation reliabilityVSAvoidadhesive bonding strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A sealing bag filled with thermally conductive filler material serves as an intermediary between the electronic element and the heat dissipation structure. The sealing bag is fastened to the electronic element using soldering, while the filler material inside provides thermal conduction. This mediator approach allows the adhesive to be applied to the sealing bag rather than directly to the electronic element, preventing adhesive failure during soldering while maintaining heat dissipation functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation system is segmented into three distinct components: the electronic element, the sealing bag containing filler material, and the heat dissipation structure. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently - the sealing bag provides both mechanical attachment and thermal conduction, while the filler material provides the thermal pathway, resolving the conflict between bonding strength and heat dissipation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of repair

If traditional adhesive-based heat dissipation is used, then simple structure is maintained, but repair time increases due to adhesive degradation and component damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverepair timeVSAvoiddevice lifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing bag is designed as a separable component that can be removed from the electronic element without damaging surrounding components. This segmentation enables quick replacement of the heat dissipation assembly during repair, significantly reducing repair time compared to traditional adhesive-based methods that require careful removal and cleaning procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing bag with filler material functions as a replaceable, cost-effective component. When the heat dissipation performance degrades or the sealing bag becomes damaged, the entire assembly can be quickly replaced rather than attempting to repair the adhesive bond, reducing overall maintenance costs and repair time while extending device lifespan.
