Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional manual washing methods are used, then thorough cleaning can be achieved, but washing time and labor effort increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewashing efficiencyVSAvoidwashing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an agitator that creates mechanical vibration and turbulence in the water, enhancing the washing process. The agitator generates chaotic water flow patterns that effectively remove contaminants from game more quickly than static water, directly addressing the contradiction between thorough cleaning and washing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes hydraulic principles by creating controlled water flow through the agitator and conduits. The water flow system delivers clean water to the game and removes waste materials efficiently, significantly reducing washing time while maintaining cleaning effectiveness compared to traditional manual methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

2Productivity

If traditional washing methods are used, then game can be cleaned, but water consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewashing efficiencyVSAvoidwater usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and removes waste materials from the washing water through the agitator's filtration and separation mechanism. By actively removing contaminants, the system allows for more efficient water usage and reduces the total volume of water needed compared to traditional methods where water becomes quickly contaminated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The agitator maintains continuous useful action by constantly circulating and agitating the water, ensuring that cleaning action is持续 throughout the process. This continuous effective water utilization reduces overall water consumption compared to batch washing methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed washing system is used, then washing process is simple, but adaptability to different receptacles and game sizes is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with receptaclesVSAvoidsystem configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates adjustable and adaptable components that can be configured for different receptacle sizes and game types. The agitator and conduit system can be dynamically adjusted to suit various washing requirements, enhancing versatility without requiring complete system replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The washing system is designed with universal components that can handle multiple types of game and receptacles. The agitator mechanism and water flow system are configured to be adaptable across different applications, providing multi-functionality that increases system versatility.

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

AI summary

An improved game washer is compatible with a variety of receptacles and includes one or more cradles for receiving and holding various types of game. Agitation for washing game is provided via one or more water flows at one or more outlets of an agitator. An outlet engages a bottom of a cradle to provide water flow at the cradle. The agitator extends out of an opening of a receptacle at a central portion thereof to receive a water supply, while forming a gap at the opening to permit a flow of water and waste material out of the receptacle.
