Bubble-Type Snowflake Maker with Separated Blower for Noise Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bubble-type snowflake makers produce noise and vibration due to motors and fans, and lack waterproofing, affecting stage performance and risking damage from outdoor weather conditions.
Innovation Solution
A composite bubble-type snowflake maker design with an air pipe connecting the main machine and sprayer, allowing the blower to be separated from the stage site and incorporating a waterproof sprayer for outdoor use, featuring a pipe joint with a radial hole and a cloth sleeve to prevent noise and water ingress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the blower with motor and fan is integrated into the machine body, then the device structure is compact, but noise and vibration affect stage performance
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate parts: the main machine body containing the pump and control systems, and the sprayer containing the blower with motor and fan. This segmentation allows the noise-generating blower to be positioned away from the stage area while maintaining functional integration through connected piping systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The blower assembly (motor and fan) is extracted from the main machine body and relocated to the sprayer unit. This extraction removes the primary noise source from the stage performance area while preserving the core functionality of bubble generation and propulsion.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the machine body is used in outdoor stages, then the device can be deployed in various locations, but rain and water can enter the machine body causing damage
Solution Approach 1:
A waterproof connection system acts as an intermediary between the main machine body and the sprayer. This includes waterproof pipe joints, sealed connections, and protective coverings that prevent water ingress while allowing the device to operate in outdoor environments.
Solution Approach 2:
Flexible waterproof tubing and sealed membranes are used to connect the main machine body to the sprayer while maintaining waterproof integrity. These flexible barriers protect internal components from water damage while allowing for outdoor deployment.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If the blower is separated from the main machine via air pipe, then noise is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air pipe serves multiple functions: it transports air from the blower to the mixing chamber, provides structural support for the sprayer assembly, and acts as a protective conduit. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively reduces noise interference and protects the equipment from rain, ensuring reliable operation and enhanced stage performance by isolating the blower and providing a waterproof mechanism for outdoor use.
Implementation Method 1
a pump connected to a bubble water pipe, so as to enable the pump to outwardly transport bubble water along the flexible bubble water pipe
Implementation Method 2
a blower including a motor and a fan, so as to enable the blower to send out wind power towards an air outlet
Implementation Method 3
the other end thereof being provided with an air outlet pipe and a plurality of air outlet holes at an outer circumference of the air outlet pipe, a tail end of the air outlet pipe being sleeved with a cloth sleeve extending outwardly, and the bubble head of the bubble water pipe being disposed in the air outlet pipe

AI summary
Disclosed is a composite bubble-type snowflake maker, including: a main machine, an air pipe, and a sprayer. The interior of a machine body of the main machine is provided with accommodating space, so as to enable a blower to send out wind power towards an air outlet, and enable a pump to outwardly transport bubble water along a bubble water pipe. An inlet of the air pipe is connected to the air outlet, so as to enable an outlet to be far away from the main machine, and a tail end of the bubble water pipe extends outwardly along the air pipe, so as to be connected to a bubble head. One end of a sprayer body of the sprayer is connected to the outlet of the air pipe, and the other end is provided with an air outlet pipe and a plurality of air outlet holes at an outer circumference of the air outlet pipe. A tail end of the air outlet pipe is sleeved with a cloth sleeve extending outwardly, and the bubble head of the bubble water pipe is disposed in the air outlet pipe, so as to outwardly deliver the bubble water. Wind power generated by the blower is blown to the interior and exterior of the cloth sleeve through the air pipe and the sprayer body, so that the bubble water exudes from a surface of the cloth sleeve to form bubbles, and the wind power is used to blow the bubbles to fly away, so as to form artificial snowflakes.
