Air Blower Insect Trapping Mechanism for Dust Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Air blowers and insect traps struggle to prevent the scattering of insect scales and dead bodies outside, leading to reduced effectiveness in air purification and increased allergenic and infectious risks due to the lack of efficient trapping mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
An air blower design incorporating an insect trapping part between the intake port and filter, with an attracting part and a net-like part to enhance trapping efficiency, and a slit-shaped intake port to maintain high wind speed and prevent escape, along with a translucent peripheral area for improved insect attraction and directional intake.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If an insect trap uses a suction mechanism to blow out dust from insect scales, then dust is removed from the product, but dust is scattered to the outside through the discharge port
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a filter as an intermediary component between the suction mechanism and the discharge port. This filter captures dust particles from insect scales before they can be scattered outside, while still allowing the suction mechanism to operate effectively. The filter acts as a mediator that prevents harmful dust scattering while maintaining the air purification function.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If an air blower takes in outside air for purification, then air quality in the room is improved, but insects and dust are drawn into the system and scattered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent places a filter in the ventilation path before the air reaches the suction mechanism and discharge port. This preliminary filtering action prevents insects and their scales from entering the suction system in the first place, eliminating the source of dust scattering while still allowing air purification to occur.
3Productivity
If the intake port is made larger to improve air flow, then air purification efficiency is increased, but insects can escape back through the intake port
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a filter as an intermediary barrier in the ventilation path that prevents insects from escaping through the intake port while still allowing air to flow freely. This mediator component enables the intake port to maintain a large opening for high air flow efficiency while the filter blocks insects from reversing direction and escaping.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If a filter is added to the air blower to purify air, then air quality is improved, but the filter clogs from insect intrusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the filtering function into two separate filter components: one filter in the ventilation path to prevent insect intrusion and another filter to purify air. This segmentation allows the first filter to protect the second filter from clogging by insects, thereby extending the service life of the air purification filter while maintaining air quality improvement.

AI summary
An air blower including a casing having an intake port and a discharge port an air-blowing fan disposed inside the casing to take in air through the intake port and discharge air from the discharge port; and a filter filtering the air taken in through the intake port, wherein an insect trapping part trapping an insect is disposed in a ventilation path between the intake port and the filter.
