Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional water accommodations near lakes, rivers, or seas are costly, environmentally harmful, and inconvenient for water sports due to their fixed structures and space occupation, while also lacking in mobility and convenience for tourists.
Innovation Solution
A submerged-floating type water house with a rhombic body design, equipped with solar panels, a ballast system for inclination adjustment, and GPS-controlled propulsion for autonomous movement, allowing easy installation, demolition, and relocation, as well as manual or remote control operation to enhance convenience and environmental sustainability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If firm structure accommodations using iron bars or concrete are built at the watersides, then structural strength and stability are improved, but construction costs increase and environmental contamination occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation is divided into multiple floating modules that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each module is a self-contained floating unit with living spaces, allowing the structure to be segmented for easy deployment and removal without permanent environmental impact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs floating modules with flexible hull structures that can adapt to water conditions. These modular floating units provide structural strength through their buoyant design while being environmentally friendly as they can be easily moved or removed without contaminating the water body.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If individual cabin accommodations are built on land around the watersides, then environmental friendliness is improved, but specific space occupation and loss of water sports convenience occur
Solution Approach 1:
The floating accommodation modules are designed to serve multiple functions: they provide living quarters for tourists while simultaneously serving as floating platforms for water sports activities. The modules can be positioned in various water locations, offering both accommodation and recreational functionality in one structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The accommodation structure is dynamic rather than static, as the floating modules can be moved to different water locations based on tourist needs and water conditions. This mobility allows the structure to adapt to different environments and activities, maintaining environmental friendliness while providing water sports convenience.
3Ease of operation
If separate ships are provided for water sports, then water sports convenience is improved, but operational complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines accommodation functions and water sports facilities into a single integrated floating module structure. Tourists can access both living quarters and water sports areas within the same module, eliminating the need for separate transportation between accommodation and recreational facilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The floating modules are designed as multi-functional units that simultaneously provide accommodation, dining, and water sports facilities. This universal design allows tourists to enjoy multiple activities within one structure, simplifying operations while enhancing convenience.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the water house is designed to move autonomously using GPS and propulsion, then adaptability and convenience are improved, but device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The floating modules are equipped with autonomous navigation capabilities including GPS receivers and propulsion systems that can operate automatically. The modules can navigate to desired locations and adjust their positioning without requiring complex manual intervention, providing self-service mobility while maintaining relative system simplicity.
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 submerged-floating water house provides a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and convenient solution for water sports enthusiasts by allowing easy access, generating its own electric power, and moving to desired locations, thus reducing environmental impact and enhancing user experience.
Implementation Method 1
solar panels, which are folded or unfolded horizontally, may be disposed in the first upper side part and the second upper side part
Implementation Method 2
a ballast, which is movable forwards and rearwards, may installed in the rotary shaft, and the ballast may move to adjust an inclination of the body as the rotary shaft rotates
Implementation Method 3
a propellant configured to allow the body to move in a selected direction
Implementation Method 4
a GPS module capable of acquiring information on a current location of the body and information on a location, to which the body is to move

AI summary
The present invention relates to a submerged-floating type water house. The house comprises: a first lower side part and a second lower side part formed symmetrically with respect to each other; a first upper side part and a second upper side part formed symmetrically and extending from the first lower side part and the second lower side part; and a front part and a rear part formed in front of and in back of the first lower side part and second lower side part and the first upper side part and second upper side part, thereby forming a rhombic-shaped body and floating in water.
