Modular Filter Component for Landscape Water Pump Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current water pumps for urban water landscapes lack effective anti-fouling devices, leading to efficiency issues and potential damage due to sticky substances like fish feces and algae, and are cumbersome to maintain and replace.
Innovation Solution
The water pump design includes a modular filter component with a filter component annular frame, filter hole plates, filter medium, sealing rings, and a handle, allowing for easy replacement and maintenance, along with a pressure sensor and telescopic rod for efficient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a water pump is installed at the bottom of a water landscape, then it can effectively pump water, but maintenance and component replacement become cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The water pump is divided into modular components including a pump body, motor assembly, and filter component that can be independently accessed and maintained. The filter component can be removed through the grille net cover without disassembling the entire pump structure, enabling easy maintenance while maintaining pumping functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter component is extracted as a separate, accessible module that can be removed through the grille net cover. This allows the filter to be maintained independently without affecting the pump's water pumping operation, addressing the maintenance convenience issue while preserving productivity.
2Device complexity
If no anti-fouling device is installed, then the water pump structure remains simple, but sticky substances like fish feces and algae accumulate on blades, reducing efficiency and causing damage
Solution Approach 1:
A filter component is installed in advance to prevent sticky substances from reaching the pump blades. The filter medium captures fish feces and algae before they can accumulate on the blades, proactively preventing efficiency reduction and damage while maintaining relatively simple pump structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter component acts as an intermediary between the water source and the pump blades. It intercepts and removes sticky substances through the filter medium, preventing direct contact with the blades and maintaining operational reliability without significantly complicating the overall pump structure.
3Productivity
If the pump is installed at the bottom of the water landscape, then water can be pumped effectively, but cleaning and component replacement become time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The pump system is segmented into accessible modular components, particularly the filter component that can be independently removed through the grille net cover. This segmentation enables quick maintenance operations without requiring time-consuming disassembly of the entire pump assembly, reducing maintenance time while preserving water transport capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter component is designed with preliminary accessibility features, allowing it to be removed and cleaned before it becomes a time-consuming task. The grille net cover and filter component structure enable quick access for routine maintenance, preventing minor issues from becoming major time-consuming problems.
