1Productivity

If a conventional siphon radiator heat dissipation structure is used, then the device is simple and easy to manufacture, but the heat exchange efficiency is low and cannot meet high-power-consumption requirements

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

Solution Approach 1:

The fin assembly is segmented into multiple first fins and second fins with teeth structures, creating divided fluid channels that increase heat exchange efficiency. Each fin includes multiple teeth that segment the fluid flow path, allowing better heat transfer between the working medium and the fin surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a staggered arrangement of teeth on adjacent fins, creating three-dimensional staggered fluid channels. This dimensional arrangement increases the heat-exchange surface area and improves heat transfer efficiency by utilizing spatial optimization rather than simple linear fin spacing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Area of stationary object

If fins are arranged in a stacked manner with staggered teeth, then the heat-exchange surface area is increased, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The fin structure is divided into modular first fins and second fins, each with standardized tooth configurations. This segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing processes while achieving complex staggered arrangements that maximize heat-exchange surface area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes parameters such as tooth width, gap width, and staggering distance to achieve maximum heat exchange efficiency. By carefully controlling these parameters (e.g., first gap width between 0.5-2mm, second gap width between 0.5-2mm), the design balances manufacturing feasibility with performance requirements.
