Solution Overview

Problem

Existing inflatable dolls lack dynamic movement and attractiveness, failing to effectively engage customers in environments like supermarkets and amusement parks.

Innovation Solution

An inflatable doll system featuring a housing with multiple air blowers and a main controller that allows for independent or simultaneous operation of air blowers, integrated with a sound system and lamp, enabling dynamic movements and interactive capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single air blower is used in the inflatable doll, then the structure is simple, but the dynamic movement capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic movement capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the air blowing system into multiple independent air blowers (first air blower and second air blower) positioned at different locations. Each air blower can be controlled independently to create different movement patterns, thereby enhancing dynamic movement capability while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple air blowers are operated simultaneously, then more dynamic actions are achieved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic actions capabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of multiple air blowers through a controller that can selectively activate different air blowers based on desired actions. The system transitions between different operational states (single blower, multiple blowers, simultaneous operation) to achieve various dynamic movements, optimizing energy consumption by activating only the necessary components for each specific action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If air blowers are positioned at different locations, then more varied movements are possible, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement varietyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs multiple air blowers with identical or similar structures that can be positioned at different locations on the inflatable doll. Each air blower serves as a multi-functional component capable of contributing to various movement types depending on its position and activation pattern, thereby achieving movement variety without proportionally increasing system complexity.

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