Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Concealed water dispensers and cisterns in bathrooms often experience undetected leaks due to minor damage during installation, which can lead to significant damage in wooden houses, necessitating improved leakage protection solutions.
Innovation Solution
A container with a seal system featuring two angled surface sections, where one section is tightly fastened to the container and the other for sealing contact with the wall, allowing for flexible adaptation to different wall thicknesses and materials, ensuring a watertight seal while maintaining accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a seal is tightly fastened to the container and wall to prevent water leakage, then leakage protection is improved, but the complexity of the seal structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The seal is divided into two distinct surface sections: a first surface section that is tightly fastened to the container wall part, and a second surface section that provides sealing contact with the wall. This segmentation allows each section to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall simplicity of the seal structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The seal transitions from a conventional single-plane configuration to a two-dimensional angled structure. The first and second surface sections are angled relative to each other, with the first section extending perpendicular to the wall and the second section extending parallel to the wall, creating a stepped sealing surface that simplifies installation while maintaining reliability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the seal is designed to accommodate different wall thicknesses and materials, then adaptability is improved, but the complexity of the seal structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first surface section of the seal is designed to be flexible and adaptable in its positioning, allowing it to accommodate variations in wall thickness and material types. The angled configuration enables the seal to dynamically adjust to different installation conditions without requiring multiple specialized seal designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The two-surface-section seal design creates a universal sealing solution that can be applied to various wall materials (including wooden houses and other wall types) and thicknesses. The first surface section fastened to the container and the second surface section contacting the wall creates a versatile interface that works across different building conditions.
3Ease of operation
If the seal structure is simplified for easy assembly, then ease of operation is improved, but the sealing effectiveness may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The seal is pre-configured with its two surface sections in specific angular orientations before installation. The first surface section is pre-positioned to fasten to the container wall part, and the second surface section is pre-positioned to contact the wall, eliminating the need for complex on-site adjustments while ensuring effective sealing.
