Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gas appliances face issues with impurities like water and oil entering the system, causing corrosion and inefficient combustion due to unfiltered high-pressure gas output, which affects the gas tightness and performance of valves and devices.
Innovation Solution
A gas filtering rubber pipe with a filtering mechanism that includes a shell assembly, connector, and filtering barrier, which reduces pressure and separates impurities by allowing gas to be transversely outputted through a gas outlet hole, and a movable plug assembly for controlling gas flow, enhancing filtration and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If gas is outputted directly through the angle valve without filtration, then the gas supply is simple and quick, but impurities such as water and oil enter the system causing corrosion and affecting gas tightness
Solution Approach 1:
The filtering mechanism is nested within the rubber pipe structure itself. The pipe body contains the filtering mechanism with the filtering barrier positioned inside the pipe, allowing the pipe to serve dual functions as both transport conduit and filtration device. This nested design eliminates the need for separate external filtration components while maintaining gas tightness through effective impurity removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering barrier acts as an intermediary element between the high-pressure gas source and the downstream valve body. It intercepts and removes impurities before they can reach and corrode the valve body, protecting the critical components while allowing clean gas to pass through. The barrier mediates the interaction between gas flow and potential contaminants.
2Reliability
If a filtering mechanism is added to remove impurities, then gas tightness and combustion efficiency improve, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The filtering mechanism is merged with the rubber pipe structure rather than being a separate component. The pipe body, filtering barrier, and connector form an integrated assembly where the filtering function is combined with the gas transport function. This merging reduces overall system complexity while achieving effective impurity removal for improved combustion efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering barrier is implemented as a thin film or mesh structure within the rubber pipe, utilizing flexible filtering material that effectively separates impurities from gas flow. The thin film design provides sufficient filtration capability without adding significant structural complexity or pressure drop, maintaining simplicity while improving combustion efficiency.
3Speed
If high pressure gas is transported directly, then the gas flow is strong and responsive, but impurities are easily carried into valve bodies and gas devices
Solution Approach 1:
The high pressure gas flow, which initially causes harmful impurity transport, is converted into a beneficial force for filtration. The pressure differential created by the high-speed flow across the filtering barrier enhances the separation of impurities from gas. The same high pressure that carries impurities now drives them against the barrier for effective removal, transforming the harmful effect into a useful filtration mechanism.
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
The solution effectively filters impurities, improving gas tightness and combustion efficiency by reducing impurity transport and allowing controlled gas flow, thus enhancing the durability and safety of gas systems.
Implementation Method 1
the filtering barrier blocks continuous upward transportation of the gas, which reduces the transportation pressure and transversely outputs the gas from the gas outlet hole
Implementation Method 2
When the gas is transversely transported, some impurities such as water and oil subside from the gas due to the gravity, so that the impurities are filtered and separated
