Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electromagnetic induction valve cores cannot regulate fluid output according to demand, lacking the ability to adjust water flow based on requirements.

Innovation Solution

A valve core with a flow-through rod structure, comprising a valve seat, shell, fixed and movable valve plates, a connecting piece, flow-through rod, blocking piece, and detent structure, where the movable valve plate forms a division tube and chamber, allowing water to flow through multiple inlet channels and adjust output via elastic actuation and pressure control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If an electromagnetic control structure is used to control the blocking plate, then automatic control of water flow is achieved, but the ability to regulate water output according to demand is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic control of water flowVSAvoidability to regulate water output
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The valve core is segmented into multiple functional components: a blocking plate for automatic electromagnetic control, a movable valve plate for flow regulation, and multiple channels (first channel, second channel, third channel) for different flow paths. This segmentation allows the blocking plate to handle automatic on/off control while the movable valve plate independently provides flow rate adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable valve plate is designed to be dynamically adjustable within the valve seat, allowing it to move between different positions to regulate water output. The elastic material of the valve plate enables it to respond to pressure differences and maintain dynamic equilibrium, providing continuous flow regulation capability while the electromagnetic system maintains automatic control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If a simple blocking plate structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to control water flow regulation is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidwater flow regulation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The flow regulation function is extracted from the blocking plate and assigned to a separate movable valve plate. The blocking plate retains its simple structure for electromagnetic actuation, while the movable valve plate provides the additional regulation capability. This extraction allows each component to specialize in its function without increasing overall complexity significantly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The movable valve plate serves multiple functions: it regulates water flow output, responds to pressure differences through its elastic material, and works in conjunction with the blocking plate to provide both automatic control and manual regulation capabilities. This multi-functionality is achieved without substantially increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

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

Enables precise control of water flow by changing the connected relation between inlet and outlet channels, allowing for regulation of water output based on demand and pressure differences, enhancing the practicality and efficiency of fluid control.

Implementation Method 1

The electromagnetic control structure is coupled with a sensor, and the sensor transmits an electronic signal to the electromagnetic control structure based on induction. The electromagnetic control structure controls the actuation of the blocking plate based on the electronic signal

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElectromagnetic induction: Electromagnetic Induction

Implementation Method 2

The valve plate is made of elastic material. The valve plate is disposed in the valve seat, and the valve piece is located on one side of the movable valve plate far from the fixed valve plate. The valve plate is axially opposite to the division tube, so that the valve plate abuts on or departs from the end, so as to change the connected relation between the division tube and the first chamber

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity
