Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing heat pump washing-drying machines have complex structures for soft-flock filtering mesh assemblies, making them cumbersome to mount, dismount, and clean.
Innovation Solution
A heat pump drying or washing-drying machine design featuring a soft-flock filtering mesh assembly with a first and second support frame, where the second frame is embedded in the first, allowing the assembly to be mounted and dismounted as a whole, facilitated by a handle and support rods for easy handling and improved structural strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the soft-flock filtering mesh assembly uses two layers of support frames mounted and dismounted separately, then the filtering function is improved, but the operation complexity increases and mounting/dismounting becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate support frames into a single integrated support frame structure. The first and second support frames are merged to form one unified component that can be mounted and dismounted as a whole, eliminating the need for separate assembly operations while maintaining the multi-layer filtering function.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated support frame serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support for the soft-flock filtering mesh, enables easy mounting and dismounting operations, and maintains the filtering functionality. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by making a single component perform what previously required multiple separate components.
2Strength
If the soft-flock filtering mesh assembly uses two layers of support frames with complex structure, then the supporting strength is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate support frames into one integrated support frame that maintains the necessary supporting strength through its unified structure. This integration reduces the number of parts and simplifies the overall device complexity while preserving the structural integrity needed to support the soft-flock filtering mesh.
Solution Approach 2:
Within the integrated support frame, the patent uses segmented regions (first region and second region) that provide different structural characteristics in different areas, allowing the frame to achieve sufficient supporting strength without requiring multiple separate complex components.
3Ease of manufacture
If the support frame structure is simplified for easy production, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the structure strength may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating two support frames into one, the patent simplifies the manufacturing process as only one frame needs to be produced rather than two separate frames. The unified structure maintains sufficient strength through its integrated design while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
