Integrated Bidet Steaming Chamber for Hip Fumigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bidet devices with steam generators for hip-fumigation baths face issues such as contamination of the water tank, aging of heating elements, complex installation, and safety risks due to wet conditions, as well as soiling of the toilet floor from medicinal extracts.
Innovation Solution
A compact bidet device with a steaming chamber integrated into the bidet tank, featuring a steam generator, a nozzle for hip fumigation, and a medicine container with a genuine product detection system, allowing for easy maintenance and safety improvements by preventing unauthorized use of non-genuine medicinal products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a steam generator with mugwort box reservoir is installed separately from the bidet tank, then hip-fumigation function is achieved, but device complexity increases and installation becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the steam generator, bidet tank, and nozzle assembly into a single integrated unit. The steam generator housing serves as both the steam generation chamber and the bidet tank, eliminating the need for separate installations. This merging resolves the contradiction by achieving the hip-fumigation function while reducing device complexity and simplifying installation procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated unit performs multiple functions: steam generation for hip-fumigation, water storage in the bidet tank, and bidet spraying. The steam generator housing acts as both a steam chamber and a water reservoir, while the nozzle assembly serves both bidet and steam ejection purposes. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide hip-fumigation without requiring separate dedicated components.
2Productivity
If water tank and heating element are exposed to medicinal extract, then steam generation is maintained, but reliability decreases due to contamination and aging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the internal structure into separate compartments: a steam generation chamber isolated from the bidet tank water storage area. The heating element is positioned to generate steam that flows through a dedicated passage, preventing direct contact between water and medicinal extracts. This segmentation maintains steam generation productivity while protecting the water tank from contamination and extending component reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If steam generator is installed on the floor of toilet, then hip-fumigation is achieved, but safety risks increase due to wet conditions and electrical hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the steam generator from the traditional floor-level installation to an elevated position within the bidet tank structure. This dimensional change moves the electrical components away from the wet floor area, eliminating the electrical shock hazard while preserving the hip-fumigation function through the elevated nozzle assembly that directs steam downward.
4Productivity
If drainage pipe for medicinal extract is provided, then steam generation is enabled, but harmful factors increase by soiling the toilet floor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the drainage function for medicinal extracts by designing a system where steam flows through a sealed passage directly from the steam generator to the nozzle. The medicinal extract remains contained within the steam generation chamber, preventing it from reaching the toilet floor. This extraction eliminates the harmful effect of floor soiling while maintaining steam generation capability.
