Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional water-cooling heat dissipation devices experience suboptimal heat exchange performance due to temperature rise in water flowing between multiple blocks, leading to inefficient heat dissipation across series-connected blocks and the phenomenon of cold and hot water mixing, which affects overall performance.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating multiple built-in water pumps within the water-cooling radiator to independently pump cold water to respective blocks for heat exchange, ensuring hot water is cooled by radiating fins before returning to the radiator, maintaining optimal temperature for effective heat transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple water-cooling blocks are connected in series to dissipate heat for multiple locations, then the heat dissipation coverage is improved, but the heat exchange effect deteriorates due to water temperature rise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation coverageVSAvoidheat exchange effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The water outlet reservoir is divided into multiple independent water outlet chambers (first water outlet chamber, second water outlet chamber) by partitions. Each chamber is independently connected to a corresponding water-cooling block through dedicated radiating pipe units, creating separate water circulation pathways that prevent temperature cross-contamination between blocks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If water flows through multiple water-cooling blocks in sequence, then heat dissipation for multiple components is achieved, but heat exchange efficiency deteriorates due to cold and hot water mixing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-location heat dissipationVSAvoidheat exchange efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The radiating pipe unit is segmented into independent radiating pipe units (first radiating pipe unit, second radiating pipe unit), with each unit exclusively serving a specific water-cooling block. This segmentation ensures that cold water from the radiator does not mix with hot water from different blocks, maintaining optimal heat exchange efficiency for each block.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Partitions act as intermediaries that physically separate different water circulation loops within the radiator. The first partition and second partition create distinct chambers that prevent direct mixing of water streams, ensuring that each water-cooling block receives consistently cold water for efficient heat exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
