Solution Overview

Problem

Existing water surface cleaning devices face issues with inconvenient dismounting of filter baskets, leading to potential environmental pollution from scattered garbage during cleaning.

Innovation Solution

A basket type filter assembly with a hinged cover that is clamped to the filter basket, allowing the cover to be taken out together, preventing garbage from scattering and ensuring easy dismounting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the upper cover is opened at a large angle or dismounted to remove the filter basket, then the filter basket can be conveniently removed for cleaning, but the garbage inside the filter basket may scatter and cause environmental pollution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilter basket removal convenienceVSAvoidgarbage scattering and environmental pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The cover and filter basket are merged into a single integrated unit through the hinge connection. When the filter basket is removed, the cover is automatically taken out together with it, forming a closed container that prevents garbage scattering. This merging ensures that the cover remains attached to the basket during removal, solving the contradiction between ease of operation and prevention of harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The hinge connection is pre-established between the cover and filter basket before the removal operation. This preliminary action ensures that when the filter basket is pulled out for cleaning, the cover is already connected and will follow along, creating a closed system that prevents garbage from scattering before the actual cleaning action takes place.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the cover is hinged to the filter basket, then the cover can be taken out together preventing garbage scattering, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegarbage scattering preventionVSAvoidcover and basket connection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the cover and filter basket is achieved through segmentation into distinct functional parts: the hinge portion on the basket, the corresponding hinge structure on the cover, and the rotating shaft connecting them. This segmentation allows for a relatively simple and modular connection structure that prevents garbage scattering while maintaining ease of manufacturing and assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If the cover is tightly clamped to the filter basket, then the cover remains securely attached during removal, but the dismounting process becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecover and basket connection stabilityVSAvoidfilter basket dismounting ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The hinge connection provides a dynamic relationship between the cover and filter basket. The cover can rotate relative to the basket around the hinge axis, allowing it to remain stably attached during normal operation and removal, but can be easily opened when needed. This dynamic connection resolves the contradiction by providing both stability during use and ease of dismounting when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
