Air Purifier with Pivotable Outlet for Wide-Direction Circulation
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 indoor spaces, as they primarily generate airflow towards the inlet and outlet, resulting in weak airflow in the remainder of the space.
Innovation Solution
The air purifier features a pivotably installed air guidance part with a second air blowing means, allowing for independent operation of first and second air blowing means to create a wide air flow direction, enhancing air circulation and purification efficiency by providing additional discharge force through multiple modes: air purifying, blowing, and purifying and blowing modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the air purifier uses a fixed air inlet and outlet structure, then the device structure is simple, but the air flow direction is limited and circulation in the entire indoor space is difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the air outlet structure rotatable to change the discharge direction of purified air. The rotation mechanism allows the air outlet to dynamically adjust its orientation, enabling the air flow direction to adapt to different spatial requirements while maintaining a relatively simple device structure. This resolves the contradiction by introducing minimal mechanical movement to achieve versatile air flow coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by designing the air outlet to serve multiple functions: it can discharge air in different directions and can be positioned to optimize air circulation throughout the indoor space. This single component performs both the function of air discharge and the function of directing air flow to achieve comprehensive space circulation, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity.
2Productivity
If the air purifier discharges air in a limited direction, then the device structure is simple, but the purifying efficiency of air is low compared to air volume
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable air outlet structure enables the system to dynamically optimize air discharge direction to maximize purification efficiency. By allowing the air outlet to rotate and point in different directions, the system can efficiently circulate and purify larger volumes of air throughout the indoor space, thereby improving productivity without requiring a fundamentally more complex device structure.
3Speed
If the air purifier has air inlet and outlet in one side or surface, then the device structure is simple, but an air flow is only actively generated in specific directions, resulting in weak airflow in the remainder of the indoor space
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable air outlet structure allows the system to dynamically direct high-speed air flow to different areas of the indoor space. By rotating the air outlet, the system can actively generate strong air flow in various directions sequentially, ensuring that all areas of the indoor space receive adequate air circulation rather than just specific fixed directions, thereby improving air flow speed coverage without significantly increasing device complexity.
