Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air purifiers have limited air flow direction and circulation, leading to inefficient air purification and slow purification of entire indoor spaces.
Innovation Solution
An air purifier design featuring a pivotable air guidance part with a second air blowing means to redirect and enhance air flow, allowing for wider air discharge and improved circulation by combining independent operation of first and second air blowing means in different modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If air inlet and air outlet are positioned on opposite sides or surfaces of the housing, then air can be discharged externally, but air flow circulation in the indoor space is limited and purification efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the air outlet structure rotatable. The air outlet is connected to a rotation mechanism that allows it to change its discharge direction dynamically. This enables the air purifier to adjust the air flow direction to different areas of the indoor space, thereby improving air circulation coverage and purification efficiency without being limited to a fixed discharge direction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements another dimension principle by adding rotational freedom to the air outlet, transforming it from a fixed two-dimensional discharge structure to a three-dimensional adjustable outlet. This allows air to be discharged in multiple directions and angles, expanding the coverage area and creating more effective air circulation patterns throughout the indoor space
2Ease of operation
If air outlet direction is fixed, then the structure is simple, but circulation of the entirety of air in the interior space is difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the air outlet structure rotatable. The air outlet is connected to a rotation mechanism that allows it to change its discharge direction dynamically. This enables the air purifier to adjust the air flow direction to different areas of the indoor space, thereby improving air circulation coverage and purification efficiency without being limited to a fixed discharge direction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality principle by designing the air outlet structure to serve multiple functions: it can discharge air in multiple directions, rotate to different positions, and adapt to various indoor space configurations. This multi-functional design allows a single structure to achieve comprehensive air circulation coverage without requiring multiple separate air outlets or complex duct systems
