Split Server Case Assembly Reducing Extrusion Complexity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integrated-type server cases require large-tonnage extrusion devices and have high production costs due to complex die structures and large dimensions, leading to increased material usage and weight, making them difficult to transport and assemble.
Innovation Solution
A split case assembly design where two smaller case bodies are detachably connected, reducing the need for high-capacity extrusion devices and lowering wall thickness, thus minimizing material requirements and production costs while simplifying machining and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If an integrated-type case is used, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity and production costs increase due to large dimensions and complex die structures
Solution Approach 1:
The case is divided into multiple detachable case bodies (first case body, second case body, third case body) instead of using a single integrated case. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the extrusion die structure while maintaining the overall structural stability through the connection mechanisms between case bodies
2Strength
If an integrated-type case with large dimensions is used, then the structural strength is improved, but the weight increases making transportation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The case is segmented into multiple smaller case bodies that can be produced with smaller wall thicknesses, reducing the total material usage and weight while maintaining structural strength through the connection structures and appropriate wall thickness distribution in each segment
3Stability of the object's composition
If an integrated-type case is used, then the structural integrity is improved, but the material consumption increases due to larger wall thickness requirements
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the case into multiple smaller case bodies, each segment can be optimized with appropriate local wall thicknesses, reducing the overall material consumption compared to a single integrated case that requires uniformly large wall thickness to ensure structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
Different wall thicknesses are applied to different case bodies based on their specific structural requirements and loading conditions, optimizing material usage while maintaining the necessary structural integrity for each local region
4Ease of manufacture
If a large-tonnage extrusion device is used for integrated-type cases, then the manufacturing capability is improved, but the production costs and equipment requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The case is segmented into multiple smaller case bodies that can be manufactured using smaller-tonnage extrusion devices, eliminating the need for rare and expensive large-tonnage equipment while maintaining the ability to produce the complete case structure through assembly of the segments
