Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional temperature equalizing members allow thermal energy to be transferred, convected, and radiated from surfaces other than the adjacent heat transferring surface, leading to inefficient heat management.

Innovation Solution

An adjacently-installed temperature equalizer with a single side heat transferring surface and a heat insulation surface oriented towards the exterior, featuring a fluid channel for transferring heat with passing fluid, and additional surfaces covered with a heat insulation layer to prevent radiative and convective heat transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If conventional temperature equalizing members allow thermal energy transfer from all surfaces, then heat dissipation occurs naturally, but heat management efficiency deteriorates due to uncontrolled heat loss from non-adjacent surfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat lossVSAvoidheat management efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the thermal properties of different surfaces: the adjacent surface maintains high heat transfer capability while non-adjacent surfaces are equipped with heat insulation layers. This localized differentiation allows controlled heat loss only through the intended adjacent surface, improving heat management efficiency while reducing wasteful heat loss from other surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If heat insulation layers are added to non-adjacent surfaces, then heat management efficiency improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat management efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The temperature equalizing member is segmented into distinct functional zones: heat transferring adjacent surfaces and heat insulated non-adjacent surfaces. This segmentation allows each surface to perform its specific thermal function independently, achieving efficient heat management while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular functional division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Temperature

If multiple surfaces transfer heat to exterior, then cooling effect is enhanced, but temperature control precision deteriorates due to uncontrolled thermal exchange

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecooling effectVSAvoidtemperature control precision
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the heat transfer function from non-adjacent surfaces by applying heat insulation layers, leaving only the adjacent surface to perform controlled heat exchange. This extraction of the heat transfer function to a single designated surface enables precise temperature control while maintaining effective cooling through the fluid channel system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
