Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional backpack blowers suffer from inadequate heat dissipation leading to incomplete battery discharge due to high power and current usage, resulting in reduced battery endurance and increased noise levels due to inefficient airflow and noise reduction mechanisms.

Innovation Solution

The backpack blower design incorporates a motor duct assembly within the air outlet assembly, featuring a duct body with a guiding cone and fan blade, and a heat dissipation system with a noise reduction sponge and centrifugal fans to manage airflow and temperature, ensuring efficient air outlet and noise reduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the motor, fan and PCB board are compactly arranged under the backpack, then the device structure is compact, but the heat dissipation is inadequate and noise is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure compactnessVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the blower system into separate functional modules: the motor duct assembly (containing motor and fan) is separated from the backpack assembly, and the PCB board is positioned in the air outlet assembly rather than under the backpack. This segmentation allows each component to be optimally positioned for its function, particularly enabling effective heat dissipation pathways for the motor and PCB while maintaining overall system compactness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the blown air flow passes through the elbow and bellows, then the structure is simplified, but the air speed and air volume loss is large and noise is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplificationVSAvoidair outlet efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the motor duct assembly containing the motor and fan from the traditional compact arrangement and positions it within the air outlet assembly. This extraction creates a more direct airflow path that bypasses the elbow and bellows for the main airflow, reducing turbulence and energy loss while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent repositions the PCB board from the conventional location under the backpack to the air outlet assembly, utilizing the three-dimensional space differently. This dimensional reorganization optimizes the airflow path and heat dissipation without increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Duration of action of moving object

If a backpack-type battery pack is used to improve endurance, then the battery endurance is improved, but the battery temperature is high and discharge is incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery enduranceVSAvoidbattery temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a heat dissipation system with heat dissipation fans and air channels as intermediaries between the battery pack and the external environment. The heat dissipation fans actively circulate air through dedicated air channels to remove heat from the battery pack, enabling the backpack-type battery to maintain high power output with effective temperature control throughout discharge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
