Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NOI bathing devices generate super oxygen, which can damage users' lungs when its concentration becomes excessive, necessitating improved safety measures to filter out excess super oxygen.

Innovation Solution

The NOI water bath apparatus incorporates a gas-liquid mixer and separator with filtering modules to remove exhaust gases, including super oxygen, and a circulating system to adjust NOIs concentration, along with an activated carbon filter to treat super oxygen and an oxygen purification apparatus to provide high-purity oxygen, ensuring safe and effective NOIs absorption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an NOI generator is used to ionize oxygen into negative oxygen ions, then the health care effect on human body is improved, but super oxygen is generated which can damage user's lungs when concentration becomes excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of bathing apparatusVSAvoidsuper oxygen concentration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the harmful super oxygen from the water using a gas-liquid separator equipped with a filtering module. The separator isolates the harmful gas component from the beneficial negative oxygen ion water, allowing the useful function to be maintained while eliminating the harmful effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful super oxygen into a beneficial component by using it as part of the gas mixture that is separated and filtered. The filtering process transforms the harmful concentrated super oxygen into controlled amounts that can be safely managed through the separation system, turning a dangerous byproduct into a controllable element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Reliability

If a gas-liquid separator with filtering module is added to remove super oxygen, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of bathing apparatusVSAvoidstructure of water bath apparatus
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gas-liquid separator is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it separates gas from liquid, filters harmful super oxygen, and manages gas-liquid mixing. By combining these functions into a single integrated component, the patent reduces the need for multiple separate devices while maintaining safety improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If activated carbon filter is added to treat discharged super oxygen, then harmful factors are reduced, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedischarged super oxygenVSAvoidmanufacturing of water bath apparatus
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The activated carbon filter serves as an intermediary component that treats the harmful super oxygen between the gas-liquid separator and the environment. It acts as a mediating element that neutralizes the harmful gas before discharge, protecting users while maintaining a relatively simple overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
