Blowing System Vibration Reduction via Rigid Body Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blowing systems generate significant vibrations due to the independent operation of multiple blower units, which can lead to instability and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
A blowing system design featuring interconnected blower units with rotatable connections that allow side faces to contact at multiple points, forming a single rigid body configuration, thereby reducing vibrations by aligning rotation axes at predetermined angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple blowers operate independently, then each blower can function autonomously, but vibrations are generated and stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent connects multiple blower bodies through rotatable connections to form an integrated structure where side faces contact at multiple points, merging the blowers into a single rigid body configuration that reduces vibrations while maintaining operational functionality
2Stability of the object's composition
If blowers are connected rigidly, then vibrations are reduced, but flexibility and adaptability are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs rotatable connections between blower bodies that allow angular adjustment while maintaining contact at multiple points, creating a dynamic structure that can adapt to different configurations while preserving vibration reduction benefits of rigid connection

AI summary
A blowing system includes: a first blowing unit including a first body that houses a first fan and includes a first air outlet for blowing-out wind from the first fan; a second blowing unit including a second body that houses a second fan, includes a second air outlet for blowing-out wind from the second fan, and has a shape that is in two-fold symmetry with the first body; and a first connection that rotatably-connects an edge on a back face-side of a first side face of the first body and an edge on a back face-side of a second side face of the second body so that an angle formed by the first and second bodies is variable. The first and second blowing units come into contact at three or more points, and the directions of respective rotation axes of the first and second fans cross at a predetermined angle.
