Flush Pipe Bidet Integration Plug-in Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flushing devices with bidet functions suffer from inefficient flow over the toilet bowl surface and complex, time-consuming assembly processes, particularly due to the difficulty in connecting the nozzle to the nozzle holder in the flushing pipe.
Innovation Solution
A flushing arrangement featuring a flushing pipe with separate flushing and bidet water sections, a water distributor with guide surfaces, and plug-in sections for easy connection, allowing for simplified assembly and improved flow properties by ensuring bidet water and rinsing water are supplied separately and connected via a water-tight plug-in mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the nozzle is screwed into the nozzle receptacles in the flush pipe, then the bidet function can be integrated, but the assembly process becomes laborious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The bidet system is divided into separate modular components: the flush pipe with integrated nozzle receptacles, the water distributor with guide surfaces, and the bidet water line with plug-in sections. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently and assembled quickly through simple plug-in connections rather than time-consuming screwing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The plug-in sections act as intermediary connection elements between the bidet water line and the bidet water section in the flush pipe. These standardized plug-in interfaces simplify the connection process, replacing complex threading operations with straightforward insertion and locking mechanisms that are both faster and more reliable.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the flushing device is designed with integrated bidet function, then multi-functionality is achieved, but the installation becomes very complex and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated flushing and bidet system is segmented into distinct functional modules: the flush pipe assembly, the water distributor with guide surfaces, and the bidet water line. This modular segmentation reduces installation complexity by allowing each module to be installed and tested independently before final assembly, minimizing errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The flush pipe is designed with universal multi-functionality, incorporating both flush water supply and bidet water supply functions within a single component. The standardized plug-in interfaces and integrated nozzle receptacles create a universal mounting system that simplifies installation across different toilet configurations.
3Reliability
If the bidet water line is connected to the bidet water section, then water supply is established, but leakage risks increase with complex connections
Solution Approach 1:
The water connection system is segmented into standardized plug-in sections with integrated sealing elements. These modular connection points isolate potential leakage risks to specific locations rather than distributing them throughout a complex threaded connection system, making leakage sources easier to identify and repair.
Solution Approach 2:
Sealing elements (such as O-rings or gaskets) are introduced as intermediary components between the plug-in sections of the bidet water line and bidet water section. These sealing intermediaries create reliable watertight connections while allowing for simple plug-in assembly, decoupling connection reliability from connection complexity.
