Self-Cleaning Fountain with Photocatalytic Coating

The patent applies parameter changes by specifying particular material compositions and coating properties for the water curtain system components. The use of corrosion-resistant materials with specific chemical compositions and protective coatings transforms the physical-chemical parameters of the system to achieve enhanced durability without requiring complex protective mechanisms.

The patent employs composite materials by combining corrosion-resistant base materials with protective coating layers. This creates a multi-layered structure where the base material provides structural integrity and the coating provides corrosion protection, resolving the contradiction between reliability and simplicity by integrating protection directly into the material composition rather than adding separate protective systems.

The patent applies self-service by designing a water curtain system that utilizes the natural flow of water and ambient air currents to achieve purification without requiring high-energy mechanical components. The system leverages gravity-driven water flow and natural convection to maintain continuous air cleaning, eliminating the need for energy-intensive pumps and forced air movement while sustaining effective purification.

The patent replaces mechanical air movement systems with a gravity-based water curtain mechanism. Instead of using high-power fans or blowers to force air through filtration media, the system uses the physical barrier and scrubbing action of falling water to naturally intercept and remove particulates, substituting mechanical energy with gravitational potential energy.

The patent applies multi-functionality by designing the water curtain to simultaneously serve aesthetic, air purification, and water conservation functions. The same water flow structure that creates the visually appealing curtain effect also serves as the primary mechanism for particle removal and is integrated with a recirculation system that minimizes water loss, allowing one system to fulfill multiple purposes without requiring separate components.

The patent implements water recovery by incorporating a recirculation system that collects, filters, and reuses water from the curtain. Instead of allowing water to be discarded after a single use, the system continuously recovers and replenishes the water supply, significantly reducing overall water consumption while maintaining the aesthetic and functional performance of the display.

The patent applies self-service by incorporating self-cleaning mechanisms into the water curtain system. The continuous flow of water through the curtain structure naturally prevents biofilm accumulation by mechanically flushing away organic matter before it can establish significant growth. This self-cleaning action maintains filtration performance without requiring manual intervention or complex maintenance schedules.

The patent employs periodic action through the continuous cyclic flow of water through the curtain system. This constant movement and replacement of water creates periodic flushing actions that prevent biofouling by disrupting the formation of biological films. The system uses the natural rhythm of water circulation to repeatedly clean the filtration surfaces, eliminating the need for separate maintenance cycles.
