Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a simple structure with a single air hose is used, then the device complexity is low, but the cleaning efficiency and coverage area are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle is divided into multiple functional segments: a gas outlet for high-pressure airflow, an intake hole for external air, and a cyclone structure for spiral flow generation. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function, increasing cleaning efficiency while maintaining manageable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the gas outlet and intake hole into a single integrated nozzle structure. The high-pressure airflow from the gas outlet combines with external air drawn through the intake hole, creating a unified cyclonic airflow that enhances cleaning efficiency without requiring separate devices
2Area of stationary object
If high-pressure airflow is ejected, then the cleaning power is strong, but the coverage area is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces spiral cyclonic airflow that rotates around the central axis, adding a dimensional component to the airflow pattern. This spiral motion allows the airflow to cover a wider area by rotating and expanding outward, increasing coverage area while maintaining strong cleaning power through the cyclonic motion
Solution Approach 2:
The intake hole acts as an intermediary that draws external air into the nozzle. This external air mixes with the high-pressure airflow from the gas outlet, increasing the total airflow volume and coverage area while maintaining the high-pressure cleaning capability through the combined airflow
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 cyclone nozzle effectively ejects a spiral airflow, increasing cleaning efficiency and coverage area by combining internal and external airflows, ensuring comprehensive cleaning.
Implementation Method 1
Gas ejected from the gas outlet toward the second end opening flows past the at least one intake hole, generating a pressure difference that draws an external air located outside the cover tube into the internal space through the at least one intake hole
Implementation Method 2
The main object of the present invention is to provide a cyclone nozzle, which can effectively eject a cyclonic airflow

AI summary
A cyclone nozzle includes a cover tube, a jet assembly and at least one intake hole. The cover tube defines an internal space, a first end opening and a second end opening. The jet assembly is disposed within the internal space and includes a gas hose and a gas supply unit. One end of the gas hose is connected with the gas supply unit, and the other end is a free end and includes a gas outlet located in the internal space. The at least one intake hole penetrates through the cover tube and located between the gas outlet and the second end opening. Gas ejected from the gas outlet toward the second end opening flows past the at least one intake hole, generating a pressure difference that draws an external air into the internal space through the at least one intake hole.
