Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for rotating interior components in Christmas crafts, such as direct motor-driven or magnetic methods, suffer from poor water tightness issues leading to liquid leakage, which can damage electronic devices, and provide a limited and monotonous experience.
Innovation Solution
A paddling method that utilizes the dynamic force of water to rotate a ring, employing a magnetic impeller and rotating blades within a water-sealing container, allowing the ring to float and rotate, enhancing scenery effects and user experience while avoiding direct external force-driven rotation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a motor directly drives the placing member to rotate, then the rotation function is achieved, but the transmission shaft penetrating the container causes poor water tightness and liquid leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical transmission system (motor with penetrating shaft) with a magnetic drive system. The motor is positioned outside the water container, and its magnetic field transmits rotational force through the container wall to the impeller without any physical penetration, thereby eliminating water leakage risks while maintaining the rotation function.
Solution Approach 2:
The container wall acts as an intermediary medium that transmits the magnetic field from the external motor to the internal impeller. This intermediary allows force transmission without direct mechanical contact, solving the water tightness problem while enabling rotation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the placing member is driven to rotate by external force, then the rotation function is achieved, but the application scenario is limited and the impression is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes the natural dynamic force of water itself to drive the rotation, rather than relying on external mechanical or magnetic driving. The water flow automatically interacts with the impeller blades to produce rotation, making the system adaptable to various water flow conditions and providing a more natural, engaging user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs hydraulic principles by using the kinetic energy of flowing water to directly drive the impeller. The water flow itself becomes the driving force, interacting with the blades to generate rotation without requiring separate drive mechanisms, thereby enhancing versatility and user experience.
3Speed
If the rotating blade width is increased to increase contact surface with water, then the rotation speed increases, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the blade width parameter to achieve the right balance between contact surface area and energy consumption. By carefully selecting the blade width, the system maximizes the conversion of water flow energy into rotational motion while avoiding excessive energy consumption, thereby achieving high rotation speed with efficient energy utilization.
