Flexible Reagent Storage Assembly for Even Pool Chemical Spreading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual spreading of reagents in swimming pools results in uneven distribution and consumes time and labor due to the need for a circulation system to disperse the reagents, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A liquid storage assembly with a flexible liquid storage unit and a one-way valve liquid filling nozzle that allows for controlled discharge of reagents, integrated with a spreading mechanism to ensure even distribution and reduce manual labor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual spreading of reagent is used, then labor and time are consumed, but the reagent distribution is uneven
Solution Approach 1:
The pool robot autonomously performs the reagent spreading task without requiring manual intervention. The robot navigates the pool and automatically dispenses reagent through its spreading mechanism, enabling self-service operation that eliminates manual labor while ensuring uniform distribution through programmed movement patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical spreading with an automated robot system that uses mechanical propulsion and controlled reagent dispensing. The robot employs a spreading mechanism with controlled nozzles and a navigation system to automatically distribute reagent uniformly throughout the pool, substituting human labor with an automated mechanical-electronic system
2Manufacturing precision
If circulation system is used to disperse reagent, then reagent distribution is improved, but time and labor are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The robot performs reagent dispensing directly at the source rather than relying on subsequent circulation to distribute the reagent. By pre-positioning the reagent delivery mechanism and actively dispensing it throughout the pool, the system eliminates the time-consuming circulation phase required after manual spreading
Solution Approach 2:
The pool robot autonomously executes the complete reagent distribution process without requiring activation of the pool's circulation system. The robot's integrated navigation and dispensing systems enable it to independently perform the spreading task, eliminating dependency on the circulation system and reducing overall time consumption
