Disassemblable Fan Blade Segmentation for Packaging Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Ceiling fan blades are typically long and flat, leading to inefficient packaging, high transportation costs, and susceptibility to damage due to low utilization of packaging space.
Innovation Solution
A disassemblable fan blade design comprising an outer and inner fan blade connected via a fixing member, allowing for detachment and angled connection to increase the blowing area while reducing packaging volume and enhancing stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If fan blades are made long to increase blowing area, then ventilation efficiency is improved, but packaging space utilization deteriorates and transportation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fan blade is divided into multiple detachable sections (first fan blade section, second fan blade section, third fan blade section) connected by connecting structures. This segmentation allows the long blade to be assembled from smaller parts, reducing packaging volume while maintaining the total blowing area when assembled.
2Area of moving object
If fan blades are made long to increase blowing area, then ventilation efficiency is improved, but susceptibility to damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fan blade is segmented into multiple sections connected by connecting structures with connecting holes and fastening mechanisms. This segmentation reduces the risk of damage during transportation and installation, as individual sections are more robust and can be securely reassembled if separated.
3Volume of stationary object
If fan blades are made detachable to improve packaging efficiency, then packaging space utilization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fan blade is divided into sections connected by simple connecting structures featuring connecting holes, connecting plates, and fastening members. This segmentation improves packaging efficiency while keeping the connecting mechanism relatively simple and straightforward to assemble and disassemble.
4Volume of stationary object
If fan blades are made detachable to reduce packaging volume, then transportation costs are reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fan blade comprises multiple sections with connecting structures that include connecting holes, connecting plates, and fastening members. This segmentation reduces packaging volume while maintaining reasonable assembly ease through straightforward connection and disconnection of the segmented parts.

AI summary
A disassemblable fan blade and a ceiling fan light. The disassemblable fan blade includes an outer fan blade, an inner fan blade, and a fixing member. The outer fan blade is detachably connected to the inner fan blade, and the fixing member is used to connect the outer fan blade and the inner fan blade. The outer fan blade and the inner fan blade are connected at an angle. Due to the outer fan blade being connected to the inner fan blade at an angle, the blowing area of the fan is increased. The fan blade includes two sections, that is the inner fan blade and the outer fan blade, which reduces the packaging volume for transportation and increases the utilization of packaging space, thus reducing transportation costs and making it less prone to damage.
