Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If water is always electrolyzed to generate hydrogen-rich water, then hydrogen-rich water generation function is improved, but energy consumption increases and resource waste occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the electrolysis function based on real-time water pressure detection. When water pressure is sufficient (indicating good water supply), electrolysis is activated to generate hydrogen-rich water. When water pressure is insufficient, electrolysis is automatically deactivated to avoid energy waste. This dynamic control resolves the contradiction between maintaining hydrogen-rich water generation capability and reducing energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs a feedback mechanism where the water flow sensor continuously monitors water pressure and sends signals to the processing unit. The processing unit adjusts the electrolysis activation state based on this feedback information. This closed-loop control ensures electrolysis only operates under appropriate conditions, balancing hydrogen-rich water generation with energy efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If electrolysis is always activated, then hydrogen-rich water is continuously generated, but unnecessary electrolysis occurs when not needed leading to resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static electrolysis activation to dynamic control based on water pressure conditions. The electrolysis function is activated or deactivated in real-time according to actual water supply status, ensuring resources are only consumed when genuinely needed for hydrogen-rich water generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines when electrolysis is needed based on water pressure detection, without requiring manual user intervention. The processing unit autonomously controls electrolysis activation based on sensor feedback, making the system self-regulating and preventing unnecessary resource consumption.
3Ease of operation
If users cannot choose whether to electrolyze water or not, then device operation is simplified, but user needs are not met and options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides automatic mode selection based on water pressure detection, eliminating the need for manual user input. Users simply need to operate the faucet, and the system autonomously determines whether to activate electrolysis based on detected water flow conditions, maintaining simplicity while providing adaptive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes its operational parameters (electrolysis activation state) based on detected water pressure parameters. This automatic parameter adjustment allows the system to adapt to different usage scenarios without requiring complex user controls, balancing operational simplicity with functional versatility.

Data Source
AI summary
An electrolysis water filter system is provided. A partial pressure ball valve and a water flow sensor are respectively used to control a pressure magnitude of a water flow passed through and detect a pressure magnitude of a water flow passed through. When the detected pressure of the water flow is larger than a preset value, a power of an electrolyser is controlled to be disconnected. When the detected pressure of the water flow is smaller than the preset value, the electrolyser is controlled to be activated and water passed through is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen-rich water. When the power of the electrolyser is off, clean water filtered by a filter module passes through the electrolyser to flow out through a water outlet directly. Thereby users can select either the hydrogen-rich water generated by electrolysis or the clean water generated by filtration of the filter module to use.
