Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If fixed support bases or clips are used to mount the fan, then the installation is simple and stable, but the air blowing direction and angle adjustment becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed support structure into a dynamic, adjustable one. The supporting leg is designed to be bendable and shapeable, allowing it to adapt to different mounting surfaces and angles. The rotating bracket enables the blower part to rotate and adjust blowing angles dynamically. This resolves the contradiction by making the installation structure adaptable rather than fixed, allowing both stable installation on various surfaces and easy angle adjustment during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the fan structure into distinct functional modules: the main body, the detachable bracket assembly with supporting legs, and the rotating bracket mechanism. This segmentation allows the supporting legs to be independently shaped and positioned for stable installation, while the rotating bracket independently provides angle adjustment capability. The detachment feature further segments the installation components from the main body, enabling flexible reconfiguration without affecting the core fan unit.
2Device complexity
If conventional fixed mounting methods are used, then the device structure is simple, but the applicability to multi-scenario usage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality through the bracket assembly design that can be mounted on various surfaces (walls, ceilings, desks, shelves) using the bendable supporting legs. The rotating bracket adds multi-directional adjustment capability, enabling the fan to adapt to different airflow requirements. The detachable design allows the same bracket assembly to be reused across multiple mounting locations and scenarios, significantly enhancing versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by making the supporting leg geometry variable through bending and shaping to match different mounting surfaces. The rotating bracket changes the angular parameters of the blower part orientation. These parameter adjustments allow the same basic structure to function effectively in diverse scenarios such as wall mounting, ceiling mounting, desktop placement, and shelf installation, thereby increasing adaptability while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
3Ease of operation
If the fan is designed with angle adjustment capability, then the user experience is improved, but the installation and mounting becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the angle adjustment function into the mounting structure itself through the rotating bracket mechanism that is integrated with the bracket assembly. Rather than adding a separate complex adjustment system to a simple mount, the rotation capability is combined with the mounting brackets, allowing angle adjustment to be achieved through the same components used for installation. This merging approach improves ease of operation while minimizing the increase in installation complexity.

AI summary
A fan includes a main body of the fan and a bracket assembly. The main body is connected to the bracket assembly. The main body includes a blower part for blowing air, a rotating bracket and a main unit. The rotating bracket is arranged between the blower part and the main unit and is configured to connect the blower part and the main unit. The main unit is configured to control air blowing of the blower part. The bracket assembly includes at least one bendable and shapeable supporting leg configured to fix the fan to an external object. A rotating bracket is rotatably connected to both the blower part and the main unit, enabling vertical and horizontal rotation of the blower part. This configuration achieves multi-angle adjustment of the blower part, simplifies user control over airflow direction, and thereby significantly improves user experience.
