Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tap designs for pressure fluid systems face challenges in integrating wireless communication organs efficiently, particularly in terms of available volume and maintaining satisfactory data exchange over reduced communication scopes, which affects the connection and operation between adjacent devices.
Innovation Solution
The tap incorporates a mobile support part for the electronic communication organ that moves between two positions, optimizing the distance for wireless communication between NFC or RFID technologies, and includes an electronic acquisition and data processing body to manage data transmission and flow control based on the communication link state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a wireless communication organ is integrated into the tap body, then data exchange capability is improved, but the available volume for other components is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The support part carrying the wireless communication organ is made mobile between a first position (retracted) and a second position (extended). This dynamic configuration allows the communication organ to be positioned optimally for data exchange with adjacent devices while maintaining a compact form when not in use, thus resolving the volume constraint.
2Volume of moving object
If the communication organ is positioned close to the tap body, then the device compactness is improved, but the wireless communication range is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile support part enables the communication organ to dynamically adjust its position between a retracted state (maintaining compactness) and an extended state (optimizing communication range). This resolves the contradiction by providing both compact storage and effective communication capability at different operational states.
3Reliability
If the mobile support part is added to position the communication organ, then the communication reliability is improved, but the device complexity is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile support part serves dual functions: it positions the wireless communication organ for optimal communication while also serving as part of the tap's mechanical structure. This multi-functionality approach minimizes the addition of separate components, thus reducing the overall complexity increase.
