Remote Blower Snowflake Maker With Waterproof Cloth Sleeve
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bubble-type snowflake makers produce noise and vibration due to motors and fans, and lack waterproofing, which can lead to failure or injury when used outdoors.
Innovation Solution
A composite bubble-type snowflake maker design where the blower and pump are housed in a main machine connected via an air pipe to a sprayer, allowing the blower to be separated from the performance site and incorporating a waterproof sprayer with a cloth sleeve to prevent water ingress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If the blower with motor and fan is integrated into the machine body, then the snowflake maker can blow bubbles effectively, but strong noise and vibration are produced that reduce dramatic and stage performance effects
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate parts: a main machine body containing the pump and control systems, and a sprayer unit containing the blower with motor and fan. This segmentation allows the noisy blower to be positioned away from the performance area while maintaining its snowflake production function.
Solution Approach 2:
The blower component generating noise and vibration is extracted from the main machine body and placed in a separate sprayer unit. This extraction removes the harmful noise source from the performance area while preserving the snowflake generation capability through the connected bubble water supply system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the machine body is used in outdoor stages, then the snowflake maker can be deployed in various locations, but water or rain entering the machine body causes failure, damage, or personal injury
Solution Approach 1:
A waterproof protective structure is introduced as an intermediary between the machine body and the outdoor environment. This protective layer prevents direct contact between water/rain and the machine body components, enabling safe outdoor deployment while maintaining electrical and mechanical reliability.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If the blower is separated from the main machine via air pipe, then noise is reduced away from stage site, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into modular units (main machine body and sprayer unit) connected by standardized air and bubble water pipes. This segmentation reduces noise interference while managing complexity through modular design that allows independent positioning and maintenance of each component.
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
This design minimizes noise interference with performances, allows outdoor use without risk of water damage, and maintains effective snowflake creation.
Implementation Method 1
a pump connected to a bubble water pipe, so as to enable the pump to outwardly transport bubble water along the flexible bubble water pipe
Implementation Method 2
a blower including a motor and a fan, so as to enable the blower to send out wind power towards an air outlet
Implementation Method 3
an inner annular toothed edge entering the inner diameter of the spray pipe radially extends along a tail end of the spray pipe, the inner annular toothed edge having a plurality of annularly arranged and connected inner sharp teeth

AI summary
Disclosed is a composite bubble-type snowflake maker, including: a main machine, an air pipe, and a sprayer. The interior of a machine body of the main machine is provided with accommodating space, so as to enable a blower to send out wind power towards an air outlet, and enable a pump to outwardly transport bubble water along a bubble water pipe. An inlet of the air pipe is connected to the air outlet, so as to enable an outlet to be far away from the main machine, and a tail end of the bubble water pipe extends outwardly along the air pipe, so as to be connected to a bubble head. One end of a sprayer body of the sprayer is connected to the outlet of the air pipe, and the other end is provided with an air outlet pipe and a plurality of air outlet holes at an outer circumference of the air outlet pipe. A tail end of the air outlet pipe is sleeved with a cloth sleeve extending outwardly, and the bubble head of the bubble water pipe is disposed in the air outlet pipe, so as to outwardly deliver the bubble water. Wind power generated by the blower is blown to the interior and exterior of the cloth sleeve through the air pipe and the sprayer body, so that the bubble water exudes from a surface of the cloth sleeve to form bubbles, and the wind power is used to blow the bubbles to fly away, so as to form artificial snowflakes.
