Background Research

In a series of studies, we found that mosquitoes are raging in the restaurant scene, especially at night, and mosquitoes also have a huge impact on the dining experience. However, according to the research competition, there is a market gap for mosquito repellent products for outdoor restaurants in the market, and they have great potential for development. So our theme was to design a non-sensitive mosquito repeller in the restaurant scene.

Branding

We designed a fictional brand, Dyson Lite, as a sub-brand of Dyson. The brand positioning is designed as a relatively high-end small electrical appliance brand. The Lite uses a fine font, which contrasts with the Dyson section.

Product Iteration

After many rounds of iteration, our products continue to improve the concept of senseless mosquito repellent and get closer to the final design

Product Design

The product is divided into three parts, which are the top to bottom seat, fuselage, and battery. Using a magnetic suction structure, it is easy for store staff to collect and distribute products, fix mosquito repellent batteries, and use PTC heating to evaporate colorless, odorless, non-toxic mosquito repellent, which is driven by a fan to escape from the air outlet. The product uses the Kangda effect, so that the airflow blown upward can be distributed around the top seat. After use, the battery can be charged 360° without a fixed direction. The Dyson Lite inductive mosquito repellent is installed at the bottom of the dining table. When the customer arrives at the restaurant, the radar sensor (black glossy plastic on the back) detects the presence of people. The PTC works and causes the mosquito repellent in the mosquito repellent bottle to evaporate. The volatile mosquito repellent is emitted from the air outlet through the fan to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes; when the customer leaves, the radar sensor senses that the person is away and the components stop working, greatly saving electricity.

At the same time, the design of the product itself is also very beautiful. The design refers to Dyson's design language. The contrast between black plastic and pink is strong, with metal embellishments, and every detail is eye-catching.

Magnetic Battery

The battery is magnetically adsorbed to the bottom of the product to supply power. At the end of the day, the store clerk only needs to collect the battery, charge it, and install it the next day. We have designed a special charging stand for the battery. This design also allows the batteries to be stacked for charging, which is more suitable for the use of multiple devices in restaurants.

Internal Structure

We also designed the product's internal structure. The overall structure is a combination of the top and bottom. The upper and lower case of the fuselage are connected with screws to the internal circuit board, PTC heater, and diffusion fan.

Promotional Video

The above is the promotional video I made for the product, which was entirely produced by Blender. Using the structure of the product as inspiration, the assembly process of the product is shown to the audience.

Packaging Design and Prototyping

We also designed the product's packaging and made samples. At the same time, we used 3D printing to create a fully functional prototype.
