Detachable Spray Fan Assembly for Stable Mist and Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spray fans require frequent refilling of water due to their compact design, which complicates storage and can lead to issues like damage from excessive liquid and improper atomization.
Innovation Solution
A spray fan design that allows the fan body to be detachably connected to a box, featuring a pumping component and spray assembly, enabling stable water supply and mist production while facilitating storage by being inverted or lowered into the box.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the box volume is small to reduce occupied space, then storage convenience is improved, but water needs to be refilled frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into detachable components: the fan body assembly and the box. The fan body can be separated from the box for storage, while the box retains a sufficient water tank volume for extended operation without frequent refilling.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution moves from a fixed integrated design to a detachable modular design, adding the dimension of separability. This allows the box to be optimized for water capacity while the fan body can be stored elsewhere when not in use.
2Loss of time
If the box volume is large to reduce water refilling frequency, then water refilling frequency is improved, but storage convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the system into detachable fan body and box components, the box can be designed with adequate water capacity for reduced refilling, while the fan body can be stored separately when not in use, maintaining storage convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static integrated structure to a dynamic detachable structure, allowing the configuration to change between operational mode (fan on box) and storage mode (fan separated from box).
3Stability of the object's composition
If the fan body is fixed to the box, then structural stability is improved, but storage flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base provides a dynamic connection system that allows the fan body to be securely fixed to the box during operation for stability, yet easily detached when storage is needed, adapting to different operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection state between fan body and box changes from fixed to detachable based on operational needs, altering the structural parameter from rigidly connected to separable, thereby achieving both stability during use and flexibility during storage.
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
Ensures stable water mist production and improved storage convenience by allowing the fan to be used with the box as a base and stored within it, preventing damage from excess liquid and maintaining atomization efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
at least one ultrasonic atomizer arranged on the water storage bin
Implementation Method 2
a pumping component connected to the spray assembly to supply water to the spray assembly; the pumping component includes a pump arranged in the mounting base, and a suction pipe and a drainpipe respectively connected to the pump
Implementation Method 3
The blades configured inside the fan are energized to rotate and then turned into natural wind to achieve the effect of cooling
Implementation Method 4
the wind temperature blown by the fan is also higher, so it cannot achieve more ideal cooling effect

AI summary
A spray fan includes a box, a mounting base and a fan body. The fan body is arranged on the mounting base so that the fan body has a first state arranged on the box and a second state contained in the box. The disassembly and assembly design of the spray fan enhances the convenience of storage and portability. The configuration of the spray assembly effectively prevents an excessive amount of liquid in the water storage tank, thereby avoiding issues of excessive internal pressure. Additionally, it prevents liquid from overflowing from the ultrasonic atomizer of the spray assembly, ensuring optimal atomization performance.
