Cotton Candy Air Supply Mechanism for Heat and Pressure Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cotton candy machines suffer from inadequate heat dissipation within the furnace head and cabinet body, leading to unstable sugar making due to insufficient air pressure and non-centralized airflow, limiting the height and stability of sugar production.
Innovation Solution
A cotton candy machine with an air supply mechanism that includes a fan to draw external air into the cabinet body for heat dissipation, which then flows through the furnace head mechanism to dissipate heat and is blown centrally into the sugar making chamber, enhancing air pressure and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stress or pressure
If a circulation fan with air duct is added to increase upward output air pressure, then the air pressure is improved, but the heat dissipation effect is insufficient and additional heat dissipation devices are required
Solution Approach 1:
The air duct is designed to serve multiple functions: it conducts air for the circulation fan, provides a pathway for heat dissipation air flow, and supports the furnace cover assembly. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate heat dissipation devices while maintaining adequate air pressure for sugar making operations.
2Speed
If the furnace cover is spaced apart from the furnace head to allow air flow, then the air flow is improved, but the heat dissipation capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The air duct is positioned to create localized air flow channels between the furnace cover and furnace head, concentrating air flow in specific regions where heat dissipation is most needed. This localized approach maintains effective air flow speed while improving heat dissipation capability without requiring uniform spacing throughout the entire assembly.
3Area of stationary object
If air is blown upward in a decentralized manner, then the air flow coverage is improved, but the stability of sugar making is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The air duct is divided into multiple outlet sections that distribute air flow to different locations around the furnace head. This segmentation allows decentralized air flow coverage while maintaining synchronized, stable sugar making by ensuring uniform air distribution across all working zones rather than concentrated single-point flow.
