Solution Overview

Problem

Existing handheld fans have a single blowing function, which limits user experience and applicability, especially in nighttime use.

Innovation Solution

A multifunctional handheld fan is designed with a fan component, a lighting component, and a flashlight component, integrated into a single device. The fan component includes a tuyere, fan motor, and fan impeller, while the lighting component features an LED light and a focusing barrel set for adjustable focal length.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If handheld fans only have a blowing function, then the device structure is simple, but the applicability and user experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveapplicabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The handheld fan integrates multiple functions including blowing (fan motor), lighting (LED light), and flashlight (flashlight component with telescopic pipe) into a single device. The fan main housing contains the fan motor and impeller for air circulation, while the handle housing contains the battery and flashlight component. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by providing versatility without excessive complexity through integrated architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate devices (handheld fan, LED light, flashlight) into one integrated unit. The fan main housing and handle housing are connected through a connecting housing, with shared power supply from the battery. This merging approach achieves versatility while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through unified design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple components are integrated into the handheld fan, then the functionality is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The handheld fan is divided into distinct functional modules: fan main housing (containing fan motor and impeller), connecting housing (for electrical connections), and handle housing (containing battery and flashlight component). Each module is independently designed and assembled, which manages structural complexity while achieving enhanced functionality through modular integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The flashlight component is nested within the handle housing, with the telescopic pipe extending from the handle housing. The LED light is integrated into the fan main housing structure. This nesting arrangement reduces overall device complexity by embedding components within existing structural elements rather than adding separate external attachments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
