Solution Overview

Problem

Current water outlet structures require multiple direction diverters to create atomized water spray patterns, leading to complex assembly processes and high costs, with inconsistent gaps resulting in uneven spray patterns.

Innovation Solution

A water outlet structure comprising a water inlet cavity, first and second arc acceleration tracks, and a water outlet hole, which accelerates water to create fine-gentle atomized particle water without the need for direction diverters, using a special cross-section track design for cost-effectiveness and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If direction diverters are added at water outlet ends to create vortex rotating water spray patterns, then atomized water spray patterns can be achieved, but the assembly process becomes complicated and cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater spray patternsVSAvoidassembly process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the direction diverter component entirely, replacing it with a streamlined water outlet structure that integrates the atomization function directly into the outlet design, thereby simplifying assembly while maintaining spray pattern capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the atomization function with the water outlet structure itself, combining what were previously separate components (direction diverter and outlet) into a single integrated structure that achieves both functions simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If direction diverters are added at water outlet ends to create vortex rotating water spray patterns, then atomized water spray patterns can be achieved, but the cost becomes relatively high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater spray patternsVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the expensive direction diverter component and replaces it with a cost-effective integrated outlet structure that achieves the same atomization function through streamlined design rather than additional parts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adopts a simpler, more economical outlet structure design that reduces manufacturing cost while maintaining the essential atomization function, prioritizing cost-effectiveness over complex multi-component solutions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Adaptability or versatility

If direction diverters are added at water outlet ends, then vortex rotating water spray patterns can be defined, but gaps between each direction diverter and cover are inconsistent resulting in inconsistent water spray patterns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater spray patternsVSAvoidspray pattern consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the outlet and cover into an integrated structure, eliminating the gaps between separate components that caused inconsistent spray patterns, thereby ensuring uniform water flow and consistent spray output

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of adding components (direction diverters) that create gap issues, the patent inverts the approach by integrating the outlet structure with the cover, eliminating the source of inconsistency rather than trying to compensate for it

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Implementation Method 1

the water flows into the water inlet cavity and then flows into the first arc acceleration track and is accelerated by the first arc acceleration track to define accelerated particle water

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectCentrifugal force: Centrifugal Force

Implementation Method 2

The accelerated particle water collides with a side wall of the side flushing cavity to define refined particle water

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectImpact force: Impact Force

Implementation Method 3

The refined particle water flows into the second arc acceleration track and is accelerated by the second arc acceleration track to define rotating refined particle water

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectCentrifugal force: Centrifugal Force

Implementation Method 4

after the rotating refined particle water passes through the water outlet hole, a centrifugal force between the rotating refined particle water is larger (i.e., far lager) than a surface tension of the water

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectSurface tension: Surface Tension
