Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If artificial blowing is used to form air bubbles, then the user can control bubble formation, but the risk of mouth contact with bubble fluid increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical action of artificial blowing with a pneumatic system consisting of a pump, air inlet, and air outlet. The pump generates airflow that passes through the bubble fluid via capillary action at the air outlet, forming bubbles without requiring mouth contact. This substitution eliminates the harmful factor while maintaining bubble formation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary airflow mechanism between the user and the bubble fluid. Instead of direct mouth contact, the user operates a pump that generates air flow, which then interacts with the bubble fluid through capillary forces at the air outlet. This intermediary system achieves bubble formation without the harmful direct contact.
2Ease of operation
If conventional bubble blowing toys are used, then the structure is simple, but the floating distance and direction of air bubbles cannot be controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a pump with adjustable operation and an elastic diaphragm that can deform dynamically. By controlling the pump's operation and the diaphragm's deformation, the user can adjust the air flow rate and pressure, thereby controlling the bubble formation rate, size, and projection force. This dynamic control enables adjustment of floating distance and direction without excessive structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes changes in physical parameters such as air flow rate, pressure, and the degree of diaphragm deformation to control bubble characteristics. By varying these parameters through pump operation and diaphragm elasticity, the user can control bubble formation and projection without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.
3Productivity
If multiple bubble apertures are used to generate multiple air bubbles, then productivity increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the bubble formation function into multiple independent bubble apertures arranged in an array on the air outlet. Each aperture independently forms bubbles through capillary action when air flow passes through. This segmentation allows simultaneous generation of multiple bubbles, increasing productivity while keeping each individual aperture simple in structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses multiple identical or similar aperture structures arranged in an array. Each aperture is a copy of the basic capillary bubble formation structure, allowing parallel bubble generation. This copying approach increases the number of bubbles produced without requiring complex unique structures for each bubble formation point.

Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus efficiently generates multiple air bubbles, allowing for controlled projection and enhancing safety by preventing mouth contact with bubble fluid, thus improving user experience and safety.
Implementation Method 1
The operating member is operable to elastically deform the elastic diaphragm, so that the air in the hollow cavity is pushed to flow out through the air outlet and the bubble apertures
Implementation Method 2
uses an airflow to guide the impulse, so that the adhered bubble fluid is driven to form air bubbles

AI summary
An air bubble forming apparatus includes a hollow apparatus body and an aerodynamic device. The apparatus body includes a shell, an air inlet, a hollow cavity and a bubble forming member. The bubble forming member includes an air outlet, a bubble fluid dipping portion, and a plurality of bubble apertures arranged around the air outlet. The aerodynamic device includes an elastic diaphragm, and an operating member, operating member connected to the elastic diaphragm. The elastic diaphragm separates the hollow cavity from the outside world. After the bubble fluid dipping portion is wetted with bubble fluid, the operating member is operated to deform the elastic diaphragm, and the air in the hollow cavity is pushed out through the air outlet and the plurality of bubble apertures to form air bubbles in the bubble apertures and to pop out the air bubbles to the outside.
