Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If water is filtered using a filter device, then water purification is achieved, but air pressure imbalance occurs between cavities
Solution Approach 1:
The exhaust pipe acts as an intermediary component connecting the raw water cavity and purified water cavity, allowing air pressure equalization between the two cavities while maintaining the filtration function of the filter device
Solution Approach 2:
The exhaust device extracts excess air from the purified water cavity through the exhaust pipe and releases it to the raw water cavity, preventing air pressure buildup that would interfere with water filtration and flow
2Reliability
If check valve is added to prevent backflow, then water safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The check valve automatically prevents backflow of purified water to the raw water cavity without requiring external control or monitoring, using the natural pressure differential and gravity to maintain one-way flow
Solution Approach 2:
The check valve is integrated with the exhaust pipe system, combining the exhaust function and backflow prevention function into a unified component arrangement, reducing overall system complexity
3Productivity
If exhaust pipe is used to maintain air pressure balance, then filtration efficiency is improved, but water backflow risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The check valve serves as an intermediary safety component in the exhaust pipe system, allowing air to pass through while blocking water backflow, thus maintaining filtration efficiency without introducing the harmful backflow effect
