Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing filtering apparatuses require significant time and effort to assemble due to complex structures with separated connection pipes and require additional components to maintain constant spacing and water-tight seals between sheet-shaped hollow filtering elements.
Innovation Solution
A filtering apparatus with continuous suction pipes that penetrate through holes in sheet-shaped hollow filtering elements, using ring-shaped packing members for water-tight sealing and eliminating the need for separate structures to hold elements, allowing for simple and efficient assembly and spacing of elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separated connection pipes are used to connect filtering elements, then water-tight connection can be achieved, but assembly time and effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separated connection pipes into a single continuous suction pipe that passes through all filtering elements. This continuous pipe structure eliminates the need for multiple separate connections and their associated stepped portions, significantly reducing assembly time while maintaining water-tight sealing through the continuous pipe design.
Solution Approach 2:
The continuous suction pipe is divided into multiple straight portions, each passing through a different filtering element. This segmentation allows the pipe to be inserted through each element sequentially without requiring complex bending or connection operations, simplifying the assembly process while maintaining structural integrity and water-tightness.
2Reliability
If stepped portions are used on connection pipes for water-tight sealing, then sealing can be achieved, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for multiple stepped portions by using a single continuous suction pipe. The pipe simply passes through the filtering elements without requiring stepped sealing structures at each connection point, dramatically reducing assembly complexity while maintaining effective water-tight sealing through the continuous pipe design.
3Stability of the object's composition
If strings and rods are used to space filtering elements, then constant interval can be maintained, but assembly time and effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The continuous suction pipe serves multiple functions: it acts as both the fluid suction conduit and the structural support that maintains constant spacing between filtering elements. This eliminates the need for separate strings and rods, reducing assembly time while ensuring stable positioning and constant interval maintenance through the pipe's inherent structural properties.
4Stability of the object's composition
If immovable coupling of filtering elements to rods is used, then constant spacing can be maintained, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The continuous suction pipe simultaneously provides fluid suction and structural support functions. The pipe's continuous structure naturally maintains constant spacing between filtering elements without requiring immovable coupling mechanisms, thereby reducing assembly complexity while ensuring stable positioning through the pipe's inherent rigidity and continuity.

AI summary
A filtering apparatus that sucks liquid in hollow portions (10) of the filtering elements (1) via suction pipes (3) so that liquid passes the filtering elements and is filtered. Each suction pipe has suction holes (4) connected to the hollow portions. The suction pipes are inserted into through holes (2) of the filtering elements. The filtering elements are arranged side by side and connected to the suction pipes. A ring-shaped packing is interposed between the filtering elements, and water-tightly seals the clearance between the filtering element and the suction pipe. The through holes are arranged at peripheral locations of each filtering element. The suction pipes are inserted into the through holes of each filtering element. The filtering elements are held at the peripheral locations by the suction pipes.
