Water Hose Joint Flow Control With Rotating Sealing Section
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flushing tools require users to walk back to the faucet to adjust water volume, causing inconvenience, especially when the faucet is far away from the flushing utensils.
Innovation Solution
A flow control structure for a water hose joint comprising a hose connector, coupler, and control section, where the coupler is inserted into the hose, allowing rotation of the control section to adjust water flow by changing the relative position and sealing rings to control water channels, enabling flow adjustment without needing to access the faucet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a flow control device is added to the joint, then water volume can be adjusted locally, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control section utilizes flexible sealing rings that can deform and seal against the coupler walls. These thin film elements (sealing rings) provide the flow control function without requiring complex mechanical structures, maintaining simplicity while enabling local adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The control section is designed to be rotatable relative to the coupler, creating a dynamic adjustment mechanism. By rotating the control section, the position of the sealing rings changes, thereby controlling water flow through the channels. This dynamic element provides adjustment capability with minimal structural complexity.
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
Enables easy and quick adjustment of water flow directly at the joint near the flushing tools, eliminating the need to walk back to the faucet, enhancing user convenience and reducing distance-related inconveniences.
Implementation Method 1
the control section is sleeved on the coupler, and the coupler is inserted into the hose, so as to complete a flow control structure of the hose connector. By combining the hose connector with a connecting pipe, rotating the control section to adjust the relative position of the control section and the coupler changes the water flow
