Rinsing Channel Device for Basin with Laminar Flow Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing basin cleaning systems, such as those with central water jets or flexible hoses, are inefficient for thorough cleaning, leading to uneven water distribution and potential visual contamination like limescale on basin sides.
Innovation Solution
A rinsing channel device with a profile assembly that includes a flow channel extending from a distributor line to a dispensing region, allowing for an even, laminar flow distribution along the basin sides, enhancing cleaning efficacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a central water jet is used for water inlet, then the structure is simple, but the cleaning effectiveness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The water inlet system is segmented from a single central jet into multiple nozzles distributed along the basin rim. The distributor line divides the incoming water flow into multiple streams that are delivered to different locations, transforming one centralized water source into multiple distributed outlets for comprehensive coverage
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the basin rim are provided with nozzles at optimally spaced intervals, creating locally adapted water dispensing points. This ensures that each section of the basin side receives appropriate water flow for effective cleaning, with nozzle positioning tailored to specific geometric and functional requirements
2Ease of operation
If flexible hoses are used to assist cleaning, then cleaning reach is improved, but production cost increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The basin structure itself is transformed into the cleaning tool by integrating nozzles directly into the rim. The basin performs its own cleaning function through strategically positioned water outlets that spray along the side walls, eliminating the need for external flexible hoses or manual cleaning aids
Solution Approach 2:
The basin rim serves dual functions: its primary structural/support role and its secondary role as a water distribution system. The integrated nozzle system allows the same structure to both support the basin and deliver cleaning water, combining multiple functions into a single unified design
3Ease of operation
If annular water dispensing appliance with nozzles is used, then side wall rinsing is enabled, but water distribution becomes uneven
Solution Approach 1:
Nozzles are positioned at specifically calculated intervals around the basin rim, with each nozzle oriented to target a particular section of the side wall. This localized positioning and angling ensures uniform water distribution across different regions, accounting for the specific geometry and cleaning requirements of each area
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates adjustable or movable nozzle components that can be positioned or angled to optimize water flow patterns. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the water distribution to be fine-tuned for uniform coverage, adapting to variations in basin geometry and ensuring consistent cleaning effectiveness across all surfaces
