Bidet Battery Cartridge Guide Structure for Moisture-Safe Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bidet designs face challenges in easily detaching and replacing batteries in limited spaces, particularly where external moisture protection is needed, and users risk inserting fingers into confined areas, making the process difficult and unsafe.
Innovation Solution
A bidet design featuring a battery cartridge with a guide member and a slanted guide groove, along with a rotation-type guide member and an elastic member, allows for easy battery replacement without finger insertion, while the battery cartridge is housed to prevent moisture penetration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If the battery cartridge is installed inside the bidet body to protect from external moisture, then protection from external moisture is improved, but ease of detaching the battery cartridge deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cartridge is nested within the bidet body housing, with the battery cartridge housing positioned inside the bidet body. This nesting structure protects the battery cartridge from external moisture while maintaining a compact integrated design that allows for controlled access and detachment through the housing opening.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove and guide protrusion act as intermediary mechanical features that facilitate the detachment process. The guide groove formed in the battery cartridge housing and the guide protrusion formed in the bidet body housing work together to guide the battery cartridge during removal, making detachment easier while maintaining protection when installed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the battery cartridge is provided inside a limited space, then protection from external moisture is improved, but ease of battery replacement deteriorates due to difficulty in finger insertion
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cartridge housing includes an opening that provides access from a different dimension or direction. Instead of requiring finger insertion through a narrow opening, the design allows the battery cartridge to be detached through a more accessible opening in the bidet body, changing the dimensional approach to access.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove and guide protrusion serve as intermediary mechanical features that facilitate the detachment process. These features guide the battery cartridge during removal, making the replacement process easier within the limited space without requiring deep finger insertion into confined areas.
3Reliability
If a rotation-type guide member is provided, then safety is improved by preventing finger insertion, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide protrusion is designed to rotate relative to the guide groove during the battery cartridge detachment process. This dynamic rotational movement allows the battery cartridge to be removed without requiring finger insertion into confined spaces, improving safety while maintaining a relatively simple mechanical structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove and guide protrusion act as intermediary mechanical features that facilitate the detachment process through rotation. These features guide the battery cartridge during removal, enabling safe replacement without deep finger insertion while maintaining a simple overall structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design facilitates safe and effortless battery replacement by eliminating finger insertion into limited spaces and protecting the battery from external moisture, reducing user effort and ensuring easy detachment within confined areas.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic member is provided so that a cover is opened and simultaneously tension works without additional manipulation and a battery cartridge protrudes upwardly

AI summary
A bidet includes: a bidet body part; an operating part; and a power supply part. The operating part includes: an outer housing having a first space formed therein; and a cover covering the opening of the outer housing and being detachably coupled to the outer housing. The power supply part includes: an inner housing, provided in the first space of the outer housing, which has, therein, a second space that is smaller than the first space, and has a first guide member slantedly formed on one side thereof; a battery cartridge, provided in the second space of the inner housing, which has, on the outer surface thereof, a second guide member coupled to the first guide member, and is exposed to the outside with respect to the inner housing according to the second guide member position relative to the first guide member; and a battery in the battery cartridge.
