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 simplifying the design by combining the water inlet and outlet into a single interface with the water pool body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional separate water inlet and outlet pipelines are used, then the connection with water pool body is simple, but the volume of control box becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection simplicityVSAvoidcontrol box volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies nesting by placing the second pipeline (outlet) inside the first pipeline (inlet), creating a compact pipe-in-pipe structure. This nested arrangement allows both water inlet and outlet functions to coexist within a single interface pipeline, significantly reducing the control box volume while maintaining simple connection to the water pool body through a single interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the separate water inlet and outlet pipelines into a single integrated interface pipeline assembly. By combining these two functional pipelines into one unified structure that connects to the water pool body through a single interface, the system achieves both space savings in the control box and operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If separate water inlet and outlet pipelines are arranged, then the water circulation function is reliable, but the pipeline volume is large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater circulation reliabilityVSAvoidpipeline volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The nested pipe structure maintains water circulation reliability by providing separate internal pathways for inlet and outlet flows while occupying minimal space. The first pipeline and second pipeline remain functionally independent despite their nested physical arrangement, ensuring reliable water circulation through the heating device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a two-pipeline arrangement requiring significant spatial separation to a nested configuration where pipelines occupy different radial dimensions. This dimensional reorganization allows the system to maintain functional separation of inlet and outlet paths while dramatically reducing the overall volume occupied by the pipeline system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
