Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for heat dissipation in source drivers, such as adhering cooling aluminum foils, often result in uneven adherence due to the thickness of the source driver, leading to deformation and a compromised heat dissipation effect.
Innovation Solution
A heat dissipation structure is adhered to the upper surface of the source driver, avoiding adherence to the right-angle sides and corners, ensuring a flat surface and efficient heat conduction, with a design that includes a central body and integrated sides parallel to the surface for optimal alignment and reduced material usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the cooling aluminum foil is adhered to the upper surface of the source driver, then the heat dissipation effect is improved, but the aluminum foil deforms due to uneven adhering at the corners and sides
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different adherence properties to different regions of the heat dissipation structure. The central region is designed to be adhered to the source driver for heat dissipation, while the peripheral regions (corners and sides) are designed not to be adhered, allowing them to remain flat and undeformed. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by ensuring heat dissipation effectiveness in the central area while maintaining structural flatness at the periphery.
2Area of stationary object
If the heat dissipation structure is adhered to the entire upper surface including corners and sides, then the heat dissipation area is increased, but deformation occurs affecting heat dissipation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the heat dissipation structure into different functional zones: a central adhered region for heat conduction and a non-adhered peripheral region for maintaining flatness. This local quality differentiation ensures that the heat dissipation area is optimized in the central region while the peripheral regions maintain their structural integrity and flatness, thereby preserving overall heat dissipation efficiency.
3Temperature
If the cooling aluminum foil is adhered to the source driver, then heat dissipation is enhanced, but the source driver thickness causes uneven adhering and deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent addresses the manufacturing precision issue by designing the heat dissipation structure with non-adhered peripheral regions. This design choice accepts that complete uniform adherence across the entire surface is difficult to achieve due to source driver thickness variations, but ensures that the critical central region maintains good adherence for heat dissipation while the peripheral regions are excluded from adherence requirements, thus resolving the contradiction between heat dissipation enhancement and adherence uniformity.
