Container bottle joint and container bottle assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing container bottle assemblies for bath systems face issues with filter member contamination by bacteria and microorganisms when the water inlet and outlet are always open, leading to compromised filtering effectiveness and resource wastage due to continuous communication between the filter cavity and the channel.
Innovation Solution
A container bottle joint with a cover body featuring sliding spools and elastic members forming sealed contacts within the water inlet and outlet pipelines, ensuring the filter cavity remains sealed when no water flow is present, preventing contamination and resource loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the water inlet and outlet are always in an open state, then the filter cavity is easily accessed for maintenance, but the filter member is easily attached by bacteria and microorganisms leading to compromised filtering effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic sealing members that automatically transition between open and closed states based on water flow conditions. The sealing members are positioned to be opened by water flow for maintenance access and closed when no flow is present to prevent bacterial contamination, making the system adaptive rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing members are designed to automatically open and close based on water flow pressure without requiring manual intervention. When water flows through the system, the pressure naturally opens the sealing members for maintenance access; when flow stops, they automatically close to seal the filter cavity, providing self-regulating protection.
2Ease of operation
If the water inlet and outlet are always in an open state, then the bath lotion in the filter cavity can be easily accessed, but the bath lotion flows into the channel causing resource wastage
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing members dynamically control the communication between the filter cavity and water channel based on operational needs. They remain closed during normal operation to prevent bath lotion leakage into the channel, and open only when water flow is present for maintenance or refilling operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing members act as intermediaries between the filter cavity and the water channel, controlling their communication state. They prevent direct communication when not needed, thereby preventing resource waste, while allowing communication when water flow indicates proper operational conditions.
3Reliability
If sealing members are added to close the water inlet and outlet, then the filter cavity is protected from contamination, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the sealing function from a complex valve mechanism and implements it through simple, directly-actuated sealing members that respond to water flow pressure. This separates the sealing function from complex control mechanisms, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing members are designed to automatically activate and deactivate based on water flow conditions without requiring external control mechanisms. The water pressure itself serves as the actuating force, eliminating the need for complex valves, motors, or control systems while achieving reliable sealing.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively improves the sealing performance of the filter cavity, enhancing hygiene and preventing bacterial attachment, while ensuring efficient water flow and resource conservation during bathing.
Implementation Method 1
the first elastic member is arranged in the water inlet pipeline, and an upper end of the first elastic member is elastically pressed against a lower end of the first sealing member to elastically squeeze the first sealing member to move upward
Implementation Method 2
the second elastic member is arranged in the water outlet pipeline, and a lower end of the second elastic member is elastically pressed against an upper end of the second sealing member to elastically squeeze the second sealing member to move downward
