Brushing sprayer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional kitchen sprayers provide only a single flushing function, requiring replacement for different water outlet functions and inefficiently use water when cleaning greasy tableware, leading to wasted time and water.
Innovation Solution
A brushing sprayer with a pipe body, diverter, control assembly, and brushing head that allows for multiple flushing functions, including a first, second, and third outlet opening, enabling regulation of water flow through a diverter and a brushing head for efficient cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional sprayer with a single nozzle is used, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability is limited to a single flushing function
Solution Approach 1:
The sprayer head is segmented into multiple independent nozzle groups (first nozzle group, second nozzle group, third nozzle group), each capable of being independently activated. This segmentation allows the system to provide multiple flushing functions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, as each nozzle group can be controlled separately through the diverter mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The sprayer is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating multiple nozzle groups that can perform different flushing operations. The diverter mechanism enables a single sprayer body to universally handle various cleaning tasks by directing water flow to different nozzle groups, eliminating the need for multiple separate sprayers.
2Productivity
If a conventional sprayer without integrated brushing function is used, then the device complexity is low, but the productivity is reduced due to sequential washing operations
Solution Approach 1:
The brushing function is merged with the sprayer by integrating a brushing head that can rotate and contact tableware surfaces. The water flow from the nozzles works in conjunction with the rotating brush, allowing simultaneous washing and rinsing operations. This combination significantly improves washing efficiency compared to sequential operations with separate tools.
3Loss of substance
If a conventional sprayer without water flow regulation is used, then the device complexity is low, but the loss of substance increases due to water waste
Solution Approach 1:
The diverter mechanism is designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing the user to switch between different nozzle groups and water flow paths as needed. This dynamic control enables precise water delivery to the cleaning area, reducing water waste while providing flexibility in operation. The control assembly allows selective activation of different nozzle groups based on the specific cleaning task.

AI summary
A brushing sprayer includes a pipe body, a diverter, a control assembly and a brushing head. A pipe body includes an inlet end and an outlet opening communicating with each other. A diverter is positioned in the pipe body, and includes a first flow way, a second flow way and a third flow way communicating with each other and communicating with the inlet end and the outlet end of the pipe body. A control assembly passes through the pipe body, and is connected to the diverter. The control assembly is adapted to plug two selected from the group consisting of the first flow way, the second flow way and the third flow way, whereby a water flow could be regulated by the control assembly to outlet from the first flow way, the second flow way or the third flow way. The brushing head is positioned on the outlet end of the pipe body.
