Air purifier and blower device thereof

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing air purifier blower devices, typically using single or dual axial or radial fans, face inefficiencies in air blowing and noise generation, which affect the overall performance of air purification systems.

Innovation Solution

A blower device comprising two fans with the same blowing direction, arranged coaxially and driven synchronously by a dual-shaft motor, where the first fan has higher blowing pressure and the second fan has a higher air rate, improving suction and blowing efficiency while reducing noise through optimized fan design and motor configuration.

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two fans with different functions (high-pressure fan and high-volume fan) into a single integrated blower device that processes air sequentially. This merging approach achieves superior blowing efficiency and air handling performance compared to conventional single or dual fan configurations, while maintaining reasonable device complexity through unified structural design

2Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional fan configurations are used, then the structure remains simple, but noise generation increases and air purification performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the air handling process into two distinct stages performed by two different fans: the first fan handles high-pressure air movement and the second fan handles high-volume air flow. This segmentation allows each fan to be optimized for its specific function, reducing overall noise while improving air purification performance through specialized design

AI summary

The disclosure relates to an air purifier and a blower device thereof. The blower device comprises a first fan (1) and a second fan (2) which have a same blowing direction and are arranged sequentially in the air blowing direction at an interval. The first fan (1) and the second fan (2) are mounted coaxially and driven synchronously by a motor (3). By adopting the two fans provided at the interval and driven synchronously by one motor, the blowing effectiveness of the air purifier can be improved significantly, and a simple structure and good availability can be obtained.
