Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bubble machines with a single horizontal bottom surface liquid storage chamber waste excessive bubble liquid and have a short operational time due to inefficient use of the liquid, requiring frequent refilling and resource-intensive maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A bubble machine design featuring a dual liquid storage system with a first chamber having a horizontal bottom surface and a second chamber below it, where the second chamber has a smaller horizontal section, allowing continuous flow of bubble liquid and extending the operational time by utilizing remaining liquid effectively, combined with an air chamber and control system for efficient bubble formation and diffusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single liquid storage chamber with horizontal bottom surface is used, then the structure is simple, but the bubble liquid is wasted excessively and the operational time is short
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid storage chamber is divided into two segments: a first liquid storage chamber with a horizontal bottom surface for simple structure, and a second liquid storage chamber with a sloped bottom surface for efficient liquid drainage. This segmentation allows the system to combine structural simplicity with reduced liquid waste by directing remaining liquid to the second chamber where it can be fully utilized.
2Device complexity
If a single liquid storage chamber with horizontal bottom surface is used, then the structure is simple, but the operational time is short and frequent refilling is required
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid storage chamber is divided into two segments: a first liquid storage chamber with a horizontal bottom surface for simple structure, and a second liquid storage chamber with a sloped bottom surface for efficient liquid drainage. This segmentation allows the system to combine structural simplicity with reduced liquid waste by directing remaining liquid to the second chamber where it can be fully utilized.
Solution Approach 2:
The film forming unit continuously rotates through both liquid storage chambers, ensuring uninterrupted bubble generation. The sloped bottom surface of the second chamber ensures liquid continuously flows to the lowest point, maintaining continuous submersion of the film forming unit and eliminating idle time between liquid replenishment cycles.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the liquid storage chamber is made larger to extend operational time, then the single use time is prolonged, but the horizontal cross-sectional area increases reducing bubble formation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of increasing the horizontal cross-sectional area of the liquid storage chamber, the patent extends the chamber vertically and introduces a sloped bottom surface configuration. This dimensional change allows the liquid to flow along the slope to the lowest point, maintaining effective submersion depth without increasing horizontal footprint, thus preserving bubble formation efficiency while extending operational capacity.
