Detachable Ejection Gun Hose Connector With Latching Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vapor beautifying and hair conditioning machines are inconvenient for independent updates or upgrades of the ejection gun and main machine, and the hose is difficult to restore after being wound.
Innovation Solution
A detachable connection system between the ejection gun and the main machine using a hose with a plug and socket design, featuring a latching mechanism that allows for easy assembly and disassembly, ensuring water flow without leakage and enabling independent updates or upgrades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the ejection gun is fixedly connected with the main machine, then the connection is stable and reliable, but it is inconvenient for the ejection gun or main machine to be updated or upgraded independently
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separable components: the main machine and the ejection gun can be independently detached through the plug-socket connection system. This segmentation allows each component to be updated or upgraded independently while maintaining a stable connection when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system transitions from a fixed static connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The plug-socket interface with latching mechanism provides both stability during use and flexibility for separation, enabling adaptive updates while maintaining operational reliability.
2Ease of operation
If the hose is wound during use, then the ejection gun needs to be rotated to restore the hose, but this operation is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The hose and ejection gun can be completely detached from the main machine by removing the plug from the socket. This extraction eliminates the need for complex rotation operations to restore a wound hose, as the entire assembly can be separated and the hose naturally unraveled.
3Reliability
If the plug and socket connection is designed with latching mechanism, then the connection is secure and leakage-free, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functions are merged into the plug-socket connection system: mechanical connection, sealing, and latching are integrated into a single unified interface. This merging achieves secure and leakage-free connection while minimizing overall structural complexity compared to separate systems for each function.
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 system allows for convenient updating or upgrading of the machine components and easy restoration of the hose, enhancing user convenience and operational efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
the hose connector male end and the hose connector female end engage with each other, which ensures that water in the main machine can flow into the ejection gun and does not leak
Implementation Method 2
the latching member is inserted and held in the latching groove
Implementation Method 3
the power connector male end is electrically connected with the power connector female end
