Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face difficulties in finding an air purifying apparatus that suits their specific residential environment due to varied and atypical indoor spaces, with existing modular solutions requiring expert installation and being inaccessible to general users.
Innovation Solution
A modular air purifying system comprising a cradle with a seating plate and lifting/lowering induction device that allows easy positioning and secure seating of mobile air purifying units, enabling convenient handling and operation across multiple indoor spaces, with a fixed air purifying apparatus providing continuous low-power, low-noise operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a modular air purifying apparatus is implemented to adapt to various indoor spaces, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases and requires expert installation
Solution Approach 1:
The air purifying apparatus is divided into a cradle unit and a mobile air purifying unit that can be separately assembled and disassembled. The cradle includes a seating groove and seating plate, while the mobile unit has a base with seating protrusion, allowing flexible configuration for different indoor spaces without requiring complex expert installation
Solution Approach 2:
The seating plate incorporates a lifting and lowering induction device with elastic members that automatically guide the mobile air purifying unit into the correct seated position. This self-guiding mechanism eliminates the need for expert installation assistance, allowing general users to easily assemble and configure the modular system themselves
2Ease of operation
If the seating plate is made movable to improve user convenience, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of equipment positioning deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The seating plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to lift and lower smoothly to facilitate easy seating and removal of the mobile air purifying unit. The elastic members provide dynamic guidance during this movement, ensuring the unit always settles into the correct position
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic members act as an intermediary mechanism between the movable seating plate and the mobile air purifying unit. They provide tactile feedback and physical guidance to ensure the unit is correctly positioned during seating, maintaining reliability despite the plate's movability
3Ease of operation
If the lifting and lowering induction device is provided to guide stable movement, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting and lowering induction device incorporates elastic members that provide tactile feedback to the user during the seating process. When the mobile air purifying unit is placed on the seating plate, the elastic members compress and guide the unit into the correct position, providing intuitive feedback without requiring complex electronic controls or additional mechanisms
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively purifies air in various indoor spaces, preventing equipment reversal and enhancing user convenience, allowing for efficient air purification across multiple areas with minimal user intervention and continuous operation.
Implementation Method 1
The lifting and lowering induction device includes an elastic member which provides a force for pushing the seating plate upward when the seating plate is moved to the lower side
