About Small Mushroom Eltxo Uxatzailea

Small Mushroom etxerako erabilerarako eltxo-uxatzaile elektriko entxufagarri bat da. Formak basoan hazten diren perretxiko txikietan du inspirazioa. Gailuak eltxo-uxatze funtzioa, gaueko argia eta apaingarri-funtzioa bateratzen ditu 110 x 80 x 80 milimetroko unitate bakar batean. Bi botoiek behin baterako tenporizadorearen eta begizta-tenporizadorearen artean aldatzen dute, uxatzaileak erabiltzaileak aukeratutako orduetan bakarrik funtziona dezan. Barneratutako tenperatura konstanteko berogailu-unitate batek likidoa egonkor mantentzen du, kea eta usaina saihesten laguntzen duelarik. ABS eta PC dira material nagusiak.

Integrated with a nigh light and ornamental functions, it offers excellent mosquito repelling effect as well as illumination and an romantic atmosphere at night. The product is also equipped with a one time timer and a loop timer without consuming additional resource. Thanks to the function, the device can be presented according to needs of users and routine, bringing them an excellent use experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: product dimensions, 110*80*80mm
Tags: Small Mushroom Electric Mosquito Repellent, night light for sleep, timer/loop timer, emotional value, harmless mosquito repellent
Production Technology: ABS and PC are used as the main materials, and the production process includes injection molding, spraying, pad printing and so on.
Thanks to a built-in thermostatic PTC heating unit and premium lumber from famous woodland Daxing’anling of China, the repellent enjoys smaller temperature fluctuations and more stability compared with similar products, which minimizes the impact on ingredient efficacy and helps avoid the generation of smoke and odor.
Design Challenge: The design of the product focuses on creating more use experience from details without adding resource consumption. To tackle problems such as inconvenience of use caused by a one-time timer design, the product adds two buttons to switch between the one-time/loop timers for mosquito repelling and the night light, making it easier to use especially in the nighttime. In addition, the product uses flame retardant materials and green liquid ingredients that are safe for babies to touch and breathe.
Research: Despite improving living standards, mosquito repelling remains a problem in cities and the countryside alike. Electric mosquito repellents offer a more scientific, convenient and safer way to deal with the problem and have gained much popularity since their creation. Considering the number of families in China, strong market prospects of such products are expected.
Inspiration: The product appearance is inspired by the small mushrooms silently growing in the corner of the forest. It can repel mosquitoes for users and add fun and warmth to their everyday life.
Some electric mosquito repellents have a timer function by adding a circuit board. Small Mushroom Electric Mosquito Repellent goes a step further to include a one time timer and a loop timer as well as an ambient night light. No additional energy is required except for a few light beads.
Project Duration: The project was designed and developed in Hangzhou in April 2022 and launched in China in March 2023.
Operation Flow: With the one-time and loop timer function, the device can turn on automatically at specific time periods preset by the user. In the loop timer mode, the indicator light can glow and fade according to the breathing pattern of users, creating a dynamic rhythm to help with sleep. The light also offers soft illumination at night, bringing a sense of freedom and security to young, hard-working users who live alone, and prompting them to feel the emotional value provided by every detail of the product.
