Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dust blowers suffer from poor handheld stability due to unreasonably positioned major components, complex and inefficient assembly processes, and high noise levels during use.

Innovation Solution

The electric dust blower features a modular design with a shell, control panel, battery module, fan, and air outlet nozzles, where the battery is positioned at the lower portion and the fan near the air inlet, aligning the center of gravity with the handle for stability, and includes vibration-damping and sound-absorbing components to reduce noise, with plug-in connections replacing welding for assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the motor and battery are positioned in conventional locations, then the assembly process is simplified, but the center of gravity does not coincide with the handheld position, causing poor stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandheld stabilityVSAvoidcomponent positioning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into modular components (motor module, battery module, handle assembly, housing) that can be independently positioned and assembled. This segmentation allows the motor and battery to be placed in optimized locations for center of gravity balance while maintaining assembly simplicity through standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If welding operations are used for connecting electrical components, then connection reliability is improved, but assembly complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Welding operations are replaced with plug-in electrical connectors and snap-fit mechanical interfaces. This substitution maintains reliable electrical connections while dramatically simplifying the assembly process, allowing components to be connected and disconnected without specialized welding equipment or techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The electrical system is segmented into modular modules with standardized connector interfaces. Each module (motor, battery, control circuitry) has pre-attached connectors that mate with corresponding receptacles in the housing, eliminating the need for field welding while ensuring reliable electrical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the fan generates high-speed air flow for dust removal, then cleaning effectiveness is improved, but noise level increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust removal effectivenessVSAvoidnoise level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Flexible sound-absorbing materials and vibration-damping films are incorporated into the housing and fan assembly. These flexible elements absorb vibrations from the high-speed fan and dampen noise from air flow, allowing the fan to operate at high speeds for effective dust removal while reducing the transmitted noise to acceptable levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
