Concentric Water Outlet Layout for Raw and Reformed Water
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water discharging devices that can switch between spray and stream forms face an increase in size when equipped to discharge reformed water, necessitating separate flow paths and ports, compromising compactness and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A water discharging device design where the raw water discharging part is disposed around the reformed water discharging part, forming a concentric arrangement, allowing for separate discharge paths for raw and reformed water while maintaining a compact size.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate flow paths and water discharging ports are provided for raw water and reformed water, then the quality of reformed water is ensured, but the size of the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reformed water discharging port is disposed inside the raw water discharging part, forming a nested structure where the inner port is surrounded by the outer discharging part. This nesting arrangement allows separate discharge paths for raw and reformed water while maintaining a compact overall device size, resolving the contradiction between ensuring water quality through separation and minimizing device volume.
2Ease of operation
If the raw water discharging part and reformed water discharging part are separately provided, then the convenience of switching water discharging forms is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The raw water discharging part and reformed water discharging part are merged into a single integrated structure where the reformed water port is disposed within the raw water discharging part. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining the capability to switch between different water discharging forms through a unified control mechanism.

AI summary
A water discharging device (10) includes a raw water discharging part (14) and a reformed water discharging part (12). The raw water discharging part (14) is capable of discharging raw water supplied from a water supply source by switching a water discharging form between a spray form and a stream form. The reformed water discharging part (12) discharges reformed water obtained by reforming the raw water. The raw water discharging part (14) is disposed around the reformed water discharging part (12) so as to surround the reformed water discharging part (12).
