In-Water Automatic Spreading Device for Pool Medicament Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for maintaining swimming pool water quality, such as manual medicament spreading, fail to ensure even coverage, leading to uneven maintenance and high costs due to the need for prolonged maintenance periods and reliance on circulation systems.
Innovation Solution
A device for in-water automatic spreading, comprising a storage module, driving module, walking module, and control module, which enables the medicament to be evenly distributed across the pool without relying on circulation systems, allowing for simultaneous cleaning and spreading.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual medicament spreading is used, then the operation is simple and low-cost, but the medicament cannot cover all places in the swimming pool evenly
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs automatic medicament spreading without requiring manual intervention. The autonomous underwater vehicle navigates the swimming pool independently and releases medicament at predetermined locations, eliminating the need for manual spreading operations while ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical spreading with an automated underwater vehicle system that uses propulsion motors, navigation controls, and medicament release mechanisms to distribute medicament automatically throughout the water body, achieving both precision and automation.
2Productivity
If swimming pool circulation system is used to mix medicament, then the medicament can be distributed, but the maintenance period is long and maintenance cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs medicament spreading as a preliminary action before the circulation system operates. By pre-distributing medicament to multiple locations simultaneously, the system reduces the overall maintenance time required, as the medicament is already distributed before the circulation system needs to pick up and redistribute it.
Solution Approach 2:
The autonomous underwater vehicle continuously navigates and releases medicament at multiple predetermined locations in sequence, providing continuous spreading action throughout the swimming pool. This continuous action eliminates gaps in medicament distribution that would otherwise require prolonged circulation system operation to correct.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual spreading followed by circulation system is used, then some medicament distribution is achieved, but the medicament cannot reach every portion of the swimming pool evenly
Solution Approach 1:
The swimming pool is divided into multiple predetermined locations where medicament is released. The autonomous underwater vehicle visits each location sequentially, releasing medicament at each segment of the pool. This segmentation approach ensures comprehensive coverage of every portion of the swimming pool without requiring an overly complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
The autonomous underwater vehicle serves as an intermediary between the medicament storage and the water body. It carries the medicament from the storage module, navigates to predetermined locations, and releases the medicament into the water. This intermediary role enables precise distribution to specific locations without requiring complex circulation infrastructure.
