Mini Bubble Machine Shaft-to-Shaft Transmission Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mini bubble machines have a large and cumbersome transmission structure due to the use of numerous transmission gears and external shafts, leading to increased volume, weight, and poor portability.
Innovation Solution
A shaft-to-shaft transmission structure is implemented for the impeller and bubble-forming component, where a drive motor is connected to a transmission shaft component that includes gears and support members, allowing for a more compact and lightweight design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional transmission gears and external shafts are used to drive the impeller and bubble-forming component, then reliable power transmission is achieved, but the transmission structure occupies large space and increases weight
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the transmission shaft and support structure into a single integrated component. The transmission shaft directly supports the impeller and bubble-forming component while serving as the power transmission element, eliminating the need for separate external shafts and reducing the number of transmission gears required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary external shafts and redundant transmission gears from the traditional transmission structure, retaining only the essential shaft-to-shaft transmission elements needed for reliable power transmission while minimizing space occupation.
2Reliability
If multiple transmission gears and external shafts are provided for driving bubble-forming component, then power transmission is achieved, but the device weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission structure merges multiple components into fewer integrated parts, reducing the total material used and consequently the device weight, while maintaining the necessary power transmission functionality through direct shaft-to-shaft connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent removes redundant transmission gears and external shafts that contribute to device weight, keeping only the minimal necessary transmission elements for reliable operation, thereby achieving weight reduction without sacrificing power transmission reliability.
3Ease of operation
If transmission teeth are provided around the bubble-forming component with an upper transmission shaft, then rotation of bubble-forming component is achieved, but the transmission structure occupies excessive space and cannot be made thin
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of placing transmission teeth around the bubble-forming component and using an upper shaft, the patent inverts the arrangement by using a lower transmission shaft that directly drives the bubble-forming component through integrated transmission elements, achieving rotation while minimizing vertical space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission shaft and support structure are merged into a single integrated component that provides both structural support and power transmission functions, eliminating the need for separate external shafts and reducing the overall transmission structure volume.
4Reliability
If a large number of transmission gears are used to drive impeller and bubble-forming component separately, then reliable power transmission is achieved, but the overall volume of the bubble machine becomes large and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the transmission functions for the impeller and bubble-forming component into a single integrated transmission shaft structure, reducing the number of separate transmission gears and external shafts needed, thereby decreasing the overall bubble machine volume while maintaining reliable power transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes redundant transmission gears and external shafts from the traditional separate-drive configuration, retaining only the essential shaft-to-shaft transmission elements needed for reliable operation of both the impeller and bubble-forming component, thus reducing overall device volume.

AI summary
A transmission structure for a mini bubble machine is provided, which includes a shell, a bubble blowing component provided at a front end of the shell, a transmission mechanism connected at a rear end of the bubble blowing component. The transmission mechanism includes a drive motor and a transmission shaft component connected to the drive motor. A front end of the transmission shaft component is connected to the bubble blowing component, the drive motor drives the bubble blowing component to work by driving the transmission shaft component. An impeller and bubble-forming component adopt a shaft-to-shaft transmission structure, which solves a problem of large space caused by the installation of more transmission gears and external transmission shaft in the traditional transmission structure of the bubble machine, which results the bubble machine having a large volume.
