Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a bubble machine with an adjustable blowing angle.


BACKGROUND

Bubbles are formed by the surface tension of water. A foaming solution with certain viscosity, ductility and surface tension and a closed bubble ring are required to produce bubbles. When the foaming solution flows through the bubble ring, the foaming solution hangs on the surface of the bubble ring to form a liquid film. When the liquid film leaves the bubble ring under the action of air flow, it will seal a certain amount of air, thus producing bubbles.


A bubble machine is a device that can automatically generate bubbles. The bubble machine can be used to continuously deliver bubbles to the environment, which plays a role in setting off atmosphere and entertainment. It is a popular daily toy. The existing bubble machine usually comprises a machine body. An air supply mechanism and a film forming mechanism are arranged in the machine body along the generating path of the bubbles. The air supply mechanism comprises a fan blade and a driving motor driving the fan blade to rotate, and the film forming mechanism comprises a liquid storage tank and bubble rings; the motor drives the fan blade to rotate and generate air flow, and at the same time drives the bubble rings to rotate through the liquid storage tank to obtain a liquid film. The air flow generated by the fan blades is sent to the bubble rings to take the liquid film away from the bubble rings to obtain bubbles. The blowing angle of the existing bubble machine is basically horizontal, which cannot meet the actual diversified requirements.
