Nested Water Circulation Pipeline for Compact Massage Pool Control Boxes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The large volume of traditional water circulation pipelines results in a bulky control box, making them inconvenient to use.
Innovation Solution
A water circulation pipeline with a pipe-in-pipe structure, where a second pipeline is nested within a first pipeline, reducing the overall volume and incorporating features like coaxial arrangement, screwing and clamping parts, and a sealing ring to maintain connection and sealing, while allowing for efficient water flow and heating.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If traditional separate water inlet and outlet pipelines are used, then the connection is simple, but the control box volume becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the nesting principle by placing the second pipeline (outlet) inside the first pipeline (inlet), forming a pipe-in-pipe structure. This nested configuration allows both water inlet and outlet functions to be integrated within a single pipeline assembly, significantly reducing the control box volume while maintaining functional separation of water flow paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the water inlet and outlet pipelines into a single integrated pipeline body. By combining two separate pipeline functions into one unified structure with multiple ports, the design reduces the overall space required in the control box while preserving the distinct water flow paths for inlet and outlet.
2Volume of moving object
If pipelines are nested to reduce volume, then the control box becomes compact, but the sealing and connection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the nested pipeline structure into distinct modular components: the first pipeline with its ports, the second nested pipeline with its ports, sealing rings for each interface, and connecting parts. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and tested separately, then assembled together, reducing the overall manufacturing complexity despite the nested configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces sealing rings as intermediary elements between the nested pipelines and connecting parts as mediators for joining the pipelines to the pool body. These intermediary components facilitate reliable sealing and connection in the nested structure without requiring complex integrated manufacturing processes.
3Ease of operation
If multiple ports are integrated in one pipeline body, then the connection points are reduced, but the pipeline body complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pipeline body is designed as a multi-functional universal component that integrates multiple ports (first inlet port, second inlet port, outlet port) within a single structure. This universal pipeline body can connect to the pool body at multiple points simultaneously, reducing the total number of separate connection operations needed while distributing the complexity across standardized port interfaces.
