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 liquid filling nozzle that allows for controlled discharge of reagents using a one-way valve mechanism, enabling even distribution and reducing manual labor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual spreading of reagent is used, then operation simplicity is improved, but spreading uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a circulation system as an intermediary device between the reagent application and the pool water. The circulation system includes a pump and distribution network that mediates the dispersal of reagent throughout the pool, transforming manual application into a controlled distribution process that achieves uniformity while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs hydraulic principles through the circulation system that uses water flow to distribute the reagent uniformly throughout the pool. The circulation pump creates hydraulic flow patterns that ensure even dispersion of reagent across different pool zones, resolving the uniformity issue while keeping the operation simple
2Manufacturing precision
If circulation system is used to disperse reagent, then spreading uniformity is improved, but time and labor consumption worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous circulation of pool water through the circulation system, ensuring that reagent is continuously dispersed and distributed throughout the pool. This continuous action maintains uniform spreading without requiring repeated manual interventions or extended processing time, thereby reducing overall time and labor consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The circulation system is pre-configured and activated before reagent application, creating optimal water flow patterns in advance. This preliminary preparation ensures that when reagent is applied, the circulation system immediately begins uniform distribution, eliminating delays and reducing the total time required for effective reagent dispersal
