Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air purification devices are often bulky, expensive, and not seamlessly integrated with ceiling fans, which limits their effectiveness and user-friendliness in residential and commercial settings.
Innovation Solution
An air purification filter with a collection pad made of an impregnated polyester blend, featuring perforations for airflow and an attachment mechanism to secure it to a fan blade, providing a passive, continuous source of air filtration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional air purification devices are used, then air quality improvement is achieved, but device bulkiness and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air purification function with the existing ceiling fan infrastructure by attaching a collection pad to the fan blade. This merging eliminates the need for a separate bulky air purifier device while maintaining air quality improvement functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The ceiling fan blade serves dual purposes: its original air circulation function and as a mounting platform for the air purification collection pad. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated air purification equipment.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional air purification devices are used, then air quality improvement is achieved, but device cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges air purification with an already-purchased ceiling fan system, eliminating the need to purchase a separate expensive air purifier device. The collection pad uses cost-effective materials like polyester blend fabric with activated carbon or other filtration media.
Solution Approach 2:
The collection pad is designed as an affordable, replaceable component that can be easily manufactured and replaced. This disposable approach to the filtration element reduces overall system cost compared to expensive traditional air purifiers.
3Ease of operation
If air purification is integrated with ceiling fans, then user-friendliness and passivity are improved, but integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air purification system is segmented into a separate collection pad that can be independently attached to and removed from the fan blade. This modular segmentation simplifies integration while maintaining ease of operation and replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The collection pad is pre-designed with attachment mechanisms (such as magnets, adhesives, or clips) that enable easy installation on the fan blade without requiring complex integration work or professional installation.
