Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bubble machines require the film forming nozzle to rotate 360 degrees for film formation, which increases the travel of the film covering body and reduces the efficiency of bubble production.

Innovation Solution

A bubble machine design where the film forming nozzle is driven to swing using a dial wheel and swing rod mechanism, eliminating the need for 360-degree rotation of the film covering body, and utilizing a peristaltic pump and fog generator to enhance bubble production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the film forming nozzle rotates 360 degrees to form a film, then the film covering body can be fully covered with film, but the travel of the film covering body increases and bubble production efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm coverage completenessVSAvoidbubble production efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of rotating the film covering body 360 degrees around the film forming nozzle, the invention inverts the approach by making the film forming nozzle swing back and forth within a limited angular range. The dial wheel mechanism drives the swing rod to oscillate, causing the nozzle to move between two extreme positions rather than completing a full rotation, thereby reducing the travel distance while maintaining effective film coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a static 360-degree rotation system to a dynamic oscillating system. The swing rod connected to the dial wheel creates a reciprocating motion that allows the film forming nozzle to dynamically adjust its position within a limited range, optimizing the film deposition process without requiring full rotational travel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If multiple film forming nozzles are used to increase bubble output, then the amount of bubbles blown out increases, but the device complexity and space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebubble output volumeVSAvoidnumber of nozzles required
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention ensures continuous film formation on the film covering body by using the oscillating swing mechanism to repeatedly dip the nozzle into the bubble solution and coat the film covering body. This continuous cyclic action within a limited angular range maintains uninterrupted bubble production without needing multiple nozzles, thereby increasing productivity while keeping device complexity low.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Manufacturing precision

If the film covering body travels a longer distance to ensure complete coverage, then the film coverage is more complete, but the film forming speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm coverage completenessVSAvoidfilm forming speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies partial action by limiting the swing angle of the film forming nozzle to a range that is sufficient for complete film coverage without requiring a full 360-degree rotation. The dial wheel mechanism is designed to oscillate the nozzle within this optimized angular range, achieving the necessary coverage with reduced travel distance and higher forming speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a bubble machine, including a film forming nozzle, a film covering body disposed on the film forming nozzle, and fan blades. Airflow generated by rotation of the fan blades flows to the film forming nozzle. The film forming nozzle is driven to swing through a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a dial wheel and a swing rod. A rotating shaft is disposed on a middle of the swing rod. The dial wheel is driven to rotate through a driver. During a rotation process of the dial wheel, a first end of the swing rod swings around the rotating shaft, so that a second end of the swing rod drives the film covering body to swing. The film covering body enables bubble liquid to form a film on the film forming nozzle during a swinging process.
