Solution Overview

Problem

Current combined air handling systems have complex connection structures, making them inconvenient for users to assemble or disassemble without tools.

Innovation Solution

The air handling system employs magnetic attraction and connecting members, such as slots and jaws, or guide grooves and posts, to connect the top cover, base, and air handling devices, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly without tools.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional mechanical connection structures are used to connect air handling devices, then structural stability is ensured, but assembly and disassembly become complex and inconvenient for users

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveAssembly and disassembly convenienceVSAvoidConnection structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical connection structures (screws, clips, or complex interlocking mechanisms) with a magnetic connection system. Magnets embedded in the housing edges provide automatic attraction and alignment when devices are brought together, eliminating the need for tools and complex assembly procedures while maintaining structural stability during operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The air handling system is divided into modular devices that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each device has standardized magnetic connection interfaces that allow for easy configuration changes, enabling users to assemble or disassemble the system according to their needs without dealing with complex integrated structures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If magnetic attraction is used to connect devices, then assembly and disassembly become easy, but connection strength may be insufficient for firm structure

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveAssembly and disassembly convenienceVSAvoidConnection strength

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple magnets along the connection edges rather than using a single large magnet, creating a distributed magnetic field that provides both strong overall attraction force and uniform pressure distribution across the joint. This merging of multiple magnetic elements ensures firm structural connection while maintaining ease of assembly and disassembly

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
