Solution Overview

Problem

Existing inflatable massage pools have a separate control box that occupies a large area and is inconvenient for storage and operation.

Innovation Solution

The control box is integrated within the pool body, with a chamber formed in the pool wall to accommodate it, reducing overall space and improving user convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the control box is placed outside the pool body, then the control functions (filtering, heating, massage) can be achieved, but the area occupied is large and the installation is complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of operationVSAvoidarea occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The control box is integrated into the pool body by forming a control box accommodating cavity within the pool wall structure. This merging of the control box and pool body eliminates the need for separate external placement, reducing the total area occupied while maintaining all control functions including water pump, heater, and air pump operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The control box is nested within the pool wall structure through a specifically designed accommodating cavity. This nesting approach allows the control box to be housed inside the existing pool body volume, thereby reducing the external footprint while keeping the control functions accessible and operational

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of manufacture

If the control box is placed outside the pool body, then the control functions can be achieved, but the installation is complicated and storage is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of installationVSAvoidarea occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The control box and pool body are merged into a single integrated structure where the control box is housed within an accommodating cavity formed in the pool wall. This integration simplifies installation by reducing the number of separate components to assemble and eliminates the need for separate mounting locations, while simultaneously reducing the total area occupied

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pool wall is segmented to create a dedicated control box accommodating cavity, separating the control functions from the main pool chamber while maintaining structural integration. This segmentation allows for simplified installation by providing a pre-defined space for the control box without requiring complex external mounting structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
