Kitchen Spray Gun Mode Switching for Residue Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional spray guns for kitchens clean tableware and sinks in a fixed water flow, making it difficult to effectively flush away residues.
Innovation Solution
A spray gun with adjustable modes for water jet and shower modes, controlled by a casing and adjustor, allowing for enhanced cleaning efficiency by switching between water jet and shower modes based on cleaning requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional spray gun uses a fixed water flow, then the structure is simple, but it is difficult to flush residue on tableware or water sink cleanly
Solution Approach 1:
The spray gun employs a movable spraying element that can shift between a first position (water jet mode) and a second position (water shower mode). This dynamic positioning allows the spray pattern to change from concentrated to dispersed, enabling effective residue removal while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the spatial parameters of the spray element to alter the water flow characteristics. By moving the spraying element between different positions relative to the water supply, the system transforms the water flow from a fixed concentrated jet to a dispersed shower pattern, improving cleaning effectiveness without complex additional components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a spray gun uses a fixed water flow, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different cleaning requirements is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The spray gun achieves multi-functionality through a single movable spraying element that can operate in two distinct modes: water jet mode for targeted cleaning and water shower mode for broader surface cleaning. This universal design allows one device to handle various cleaning requirements without needing multiple separate components or complex switching mechanisms.
3Productivity
If the spray gun switches between water jet and shower modes, then cleaning efficiency is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spraying element is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically switch between positions that generate water jet and water shower patterns. This dynamic capability enhances cleaning efficiency by enabling users to select the appropriate mode for different cleaning tasks while adding minimal structural complexity through a straightforward positioning mechanism.
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
The spray gun effectively cleans kitchen items by alternating between water jet and shower modes, ensuring thorough residue removal and flexibility in cleaning large or small areas.
Implementation Method 1
a spring connected on a lower end of the control bolt so that the control bolt is configured to maintain the close of the guiding channel normally
Implementation Method 2
the first water supply unit is mounted on a center of a front end of the fitting ring and is configured to supply the tap water by matching with the first watering path, and the second water supply unit is disposed on the front end of the fitting ring and is configured to supply the tap water by matching with the second watering path

AI summary
A spray gun for a kitchen contains: a connector, a body, a spraying element, an adjustor, and a casing. The connector includes a conduit, an inlet, and an outlet. The body includes a guiding channel, a press bar, a control bolt, and a spring. The spraying element includes a fixer, a valve core, a fitting ring, a first water supply unit, and a second water supply unit. The fixer has a switch groove. The fitting ring has a first watering path and a second watering path. The adjustor includes an adjusting stem. The casing is fitted on the spraying element, and a distal end of the casing is connected on the adjustor so as to move the casing forward or backward to switch the adjusting stem of the adjustor on the switch groove. In addition, the switch groove has a first position and a second position.
