Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing massage pool systems face challenges in efficiently managing air flow and maintaining air tightness during inflation and deflation, particularly in the connection of air connection pipelines, which affects user convenience and operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An air connection pipeline device with a check valve and a switch valve system, featuring a first air connection passage with a check valve that opens with forward air flow and closes with reverse flow, and a second passage with a switch valve that slides between open and closed positions, enhancing air tightness and ease of assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional air connection pipeline is used without check valve and switch valve, then the structure is simple, but air leakage occurs during disassembly and air flow management is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The air connection pipeline is divided into multiple independent passages: a first air connection passage for water cavity inflation/deflation and a second air connection passage for air cavity inflation/deflation. Each passage has its own valve mechanism, allowing independent control of air flow to different cavities, thereby preventing cross-contamination of air streams and improving overall air tightness.
Solution Approach 2:
A check valve is introduced as an intermediary component in the first air connection passage. This check valve automatically controls air flow direction, allowing air to pass from the water cavity during deflation while preventing reverse flow and air leakage during inflation, thus maintaining air tightness without requiring complex manual control.
2Productivity
If manual valve control is used for air flow management, then air tightness can be maintained, but operational efficiency decreases due to complex manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The check valve in the first air connection passage is designed to automatically respond to pressure differential without manual intervention. During water cavity deflation, the check valve automatically opens to allow air passage; during inflation, it automatically closes to prevent leakage. This self-regulating mechanism eliminates the need for manual valve operation while maintaining air tightness and improving operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The check valve mechanism provides automatic feedback control based on pressure differential across the valve. When the water cavity pressure drops during deflation, the pressure differential automatically triggers the check valve to open, allowing air flow. When inflation pressure increases, the differential automatically closes the valve, preventing air leakage without requiring external control signals.
3Ease of manufacture
If air connection pipeline allows easy assembly, then installation ease is improved, but air leakage may occur during disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The switch valve is designed to be selectively activated only when needed. During normal operation, the switch valve remains closed, isolating the second air connection passage. When air cavity inflation or deflation is required, the switch valve is opened to allow air flow. This selective activation ensures that easy assembly/disassembly does not compromise air tightness, as the valve automatically seals when not in use.

The solution ensures efficient air flow management, maintaining air tightness during inflation and deflation, improving user convenience and operational efficiency by preventing air discharge during disassembly and enhancing installation ease.
Implementation Method 1
The check valve is driven to open when the air flow moves from the first air inlet to the first air outlet and close when reversely
Implementation Method 2
The second elastic body presses against the second valve core. The initial state of the second valve core is the closed position.
