Solution Overview

Problem

The existing toilet flushing nozzle with a venturi effect suffers from particulate matter blocking the negative pressure suction part, leading to insufficient usage of sealing water and weakened flushing performance.

Innovation Solution

A ceramic pressure-flushing apparatus featuring a lower jet nozzle with a venturi tube and a water supplement structure that uses negative pressure to draw water from a separate mixing area, avoiding direct suction from the toilet bowl and enhancing flushing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Force

If the negative pressure suction part sucks sealing water from the water seal recess to increase the forcefulness of the flush, then the flushing force is improved, but the particulate matter in the waste will block the negative pressure suction part, causing insufficient usage of the sealing water

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflushing forceVSAvoidsuction part blockage
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The water supply path is divided into two separate sources: sealing water from the water seal recess and supplement water from the water supplement structure. The negative pressure suction part only suction supplement water through the water mixing area, avoiding direct contact with waste particles while still achieving enhanced flushing force through the combined water flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The water mixing area acts as an intermediary structure between the negative pressure suction part and the sealing water. It allows the supplement water to be mixed with sealing water before ejection, enabling the system to utilize sealing water for flushing without the suction part being directly blocked by particles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the venturi tube creates negative pressure to suction water and increase kinetic energy, then the water flow rate increases, but the particulate matter blocks the suction path reducing the effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater flow rateVSAvoidparticulate matter blockage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The supplement water is extracted from a separate water supplement structure rather than being suctioned directly from the water seal recess. This extraction approach removes the harmful factor of particulate matter blockage while maintaining the negative pressure suction mechanism's ability to increase water flow rate and kinetic energy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The water mixing area serves as an intermediary that combines supplement water with sealing water. This intermediary structure allows the negative pressure system to maintain high water flow rates without direct blockage from particulate matter, as the supplement water bypasses the potential blockage points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Power

If the lower jet nozzle uses a venturi tube with negative pressure port to enhance flushing, then the siphon effect is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesiphon effectVSAvoidnozzle structure
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The venturi tube is nested inside the sleeve tube, and the water mixing area is integrated into the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve tube. The water supplement structure is positioned to communicate with the water mixing area. This nested arrangement enhances the siphon effect while minimizing structural complexity by utilizing existing spaces and integrating multiple functions into a compact configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
