Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional assemblies are used to produce forficiform spray, then the structure is simple, but the period of spray is unstable and suction effect is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of forficiform spray periodVSAvoidcomplexity of waterway structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The waterway is segmented into distinct functional zones: inlet section, circular groove section, outlet section, and air hole section. This segmentation allows each zone to perform its specific function (water accumulation, feedback water formation, spray emission, and air suction) independently, ensuring stable periodic operation while maintaining reasonable structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The air holes are nested within the circular groove structure, with air holes positioned at the bottom of the circular groove. This nested arrangement allows the air suction function to be integrated into the water circulation path without adding external components, enhancing spray stability while controlling device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Shape

If conventional assemblies are used, then the structure is simple, but water splash is dull and granule is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of water splash and granuleVSAvoidcomplexity of waterway structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different sections of the waterway have locally optimized geometries: the inlet has a specific diameter for water entry, the circular groove has optimized curvature for feedback water formation, the outlet is conical with big end down for spray dispersion, and air holes are positioned at specific locations. These local quality variations create strong water granule and vibrant splash without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The circular groove with curved bottom and the conical outlet with smooth transitions create efficient water flow patterns. The curved geometry of the circular groove promotes feedback water formation that impacts the walls to generate droplets, while the conical outlet shape enhances spray dispersion, improving water splash quality and granule strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Reliability

If conventional assemblies are used, then the structure is simple, but suction effect is weak and intermittent leaking occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrength and continuity of suction effectVSAvoidcomplexity of air hole configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The circular groove creates a feedback mechanism where water exiting the outlet impacts the curved walls and returns to the inlet, forming a continuous circulation loop. This feedback mechanism ensures continuous suction effect by maintaining constant water flow through the air holes, preventing intermittent leaking while the air holes provide continuous air intake for suction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The air holes positioned at the bottom of the circular groove utilize hydrodynamic pressure differences to suction air into the water stream. The flowing water creates negative pressure zones that draw air through the holes, generating strong and continuous suction effect without complex pneumatic components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

Implementation Method 1

the feedback water and the main water from the inlet form a closed water cavity; the closed water cavity is gradually contracted to make the two air holes at the bottom of the circular groove worked with strong suction

Implementation Method 3

the outlet is conical shaped with big end down; when the mixture is running out of the outlet in high speed, one part is adhesion to the two sides of the forktail-like outlet, increasing the spraying area

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectConical flow expansion:
