Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flow rate regulating structures in water outlet devices do not have the capability to generate micro-bubbles and rely solely on elastic members for flow rate adjustment, which is inadequate for maintaining stability under varying water pressures.
Innovation Solution
A flow rate regulating structure with a water passing member and elastic member that includes dispersing parts and filter parts, generating micro-bubbles through water collisions and adjusting flow rates by deforming under pressure, combined with a bubbler body for air-water mixing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If water pressure increases, then flow rate regulation is achieved through elastic member deformation, but flow rate stability deteriorates under varying pressure conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member provides automatic feedback control: as water pressure increases, the elastic member deforms to reduce the water passing area, thereby automatically compensating for pressure variations and maintaining stable flow rate. This elastic deformation feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by making the system self-regulating under varying pressure conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member is designed to dynamically adapt its shape and water passing area in response to changing water pressure. The dynamic deformation of the elastic member allows the system to maintain flow rate stability across different pressure conditions, resolving the contradiction between pressure variation and flow stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a dispersing part is added to generate micro-bubbles, then micro-bubble generation is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dispersing part is integrated into the elastic member itself, making the elastic member a multi-functional component that combines flow regulation and micro-bubble generation. This integration avoids adding separate independent components, thereby minimizing the increase in device complexity while achieving the desired micro-bubble generation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The dispersing part is merged with the elastic member body to form a unified structure. By combining what would traditionally be separate components (flow regulator and bubble generator) into a single integrated elastic member, the invention achieves micro-bubble generation functionality while keeping the overall device complexity low.

AI summary
The disclosure discloses a flow rate regulating structure and a bubbler. The flow rate regulating structure includes a water passing member and an elastic member. The water passing member is provided with an accommodating cavity with an opening on a top and a water passing cavity opening at the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity. The periphery of the bottom wall of the water passing cavity is circumferentially provided with several water passing holes. The elastic member includes an elastic member body and a dispersing part. The periphery of the elastic member body abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity and shields the water passing cavity. The dispersing part extends from the middle of the elastic member body in a direction away from the water passing cavity, and a dispersing cavity passing through the elastic member body.
