Inverted Bouncing Drainer Core for Basin Compatibility

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional bouncing drainers are not suitable for vegetable washing basins with a relatively small thickness of the drainage outlet interlayer, particularly those on the American market, due to interference between the protruding tip of the bouncing machine core and the drainage outlet rib, leading to mounting issues.

Innovation Solution

The bouncing machine core is inverted with the protruding tip facing upwards, allowing it to be accommodated within a larger water filter basket assembly, which includes a sleeve, water filter basket, and sealing ring, and a handle for ease of use and interference avoidance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the bouncing machine core is mounted with the protruding tip facing downwards to block the drainage outlet, then the drainage function is achieved, but the protruding tip interferes with the drainage outlet rib in basins with small interlayer thickness

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedrainage functionVSAvoidcompatibility with different basin types

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bouncing machine core is inverted so that the protruding tip faces upwards instead of downwards. This inversion allows the protruding tip to be accommodated within the water filter basket assembly rather than interfering with the drainage outlet rib, enabling compatibility with basins having small interlayer thickness while maintaining the drainage blocking function

Inventive Principle:

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the bouncing machine core is inverted with the protruding tip facing upwards, then compatibility with small interlayer thickness basins is improved, but the mounting structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility with different basin typesVSAvoidmounting structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The inverted bouncing machine core is nested within the water filter basket assembly. The protruding tip of the bouncing machine core fits into the water filter basket, and the entire assembly is mounted together as one unit, simplifying the overall mounting process while maintaining compatibility with various basin types

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The bouncing machine core assembly is combined with the water filter basket assembly into a single integrated unit. The sleeve connects both components, allowing them to be mounted together and operated as one unified system, reducing the complexity of separate mounting operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A bouncing drainer includes a bouncing machine core and a water filter basket assembly. The bouncing machine core is inverted, where one end with a protruding tip facing upwards and the other end facing downwards, so as to avoid the interference between the protruding tip and a drainage outlet. The water filter basket assembly includes a sleeve, a water filter basket, and a sealing ring. The sleeve is mounted at the top of the bouncing machine core in a sleeving manner, and wraps the protruding tip of the bouncing machine core. The water filter basket and the sealing ring are mounted on the sleeve in sequence from top to bottom. According to the application, through the adoption of the inverted bouncing machine core, which solves the problem that a traditional bouncing drainer is not suitable for some vegetable washing basins.
