Integrated Ozone Water Faucet Attachment with Ejector Mixing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ozone faucets require external ozone generators and air pipes, which are aesthetically poor, pose safety risks, and are inconvenient for consumers, as they need to be purchased and installed separately from common faucets.
Innovation Solution
An ozone water generating device with a housing containing an ozone generator and an ejector, where the ozone generator's exit is connected to the ejector's air inlet, allowing ozone to be mixed with water flow, and featuring a control circuit board, air sensor, and one-way valve for automatic operation and safe ozone water output directly from a standard faucet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If an external ozone generator is connected to the faucet through an air pipe, then ozone water can be generated, but the air pipe is exposed and aesthetics are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the ozone generator and ejector into a single integrated device that can be directly installed on the faucet, eliminating the need for separate external components and exposed air pipes. This merging of functions resolves the contradiction by maintaining ozone water generation capability while improving aesthetics through a compact, unified design.
Solution Approach 2:
The ozone generator and ejector are nested within a housing structure that mounts directly on the faucet body. This nesting approach conceals all internal components, including air pipes and generators, within the compact housing, thereby eliminating exposed elements and improving overall aesthetics while preserving functionality.
2Ease of manufacture
If an external ozone generator is connected through an air pipe, then ozone water can be generated, but the air pipe may fall off and pose safety risks
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the ozone generator and ejector into a single unit that mounts directly on the faucet, the patent eliminates exposed air pipes that could detach. The integrated design ensures all components are securely housed and fixed, removing the safety hazard of loose air pipes while maintaining ozone water generation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
All internal components including the ozone generator, ejector, and air pipes are nested within a enclosed housing structure. This nesting ensures that no loose parts are exposed externally, preventing the air pipe from falling off and eliminating safety risks associated with exposed connections.
3Ease of manufacture
If consumers purchase separate ozone faucets and ozone generators, then ozone water can be generated, but it is inconvenient for consumers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the ozone generator, ejector, and mounting structure into a single integrated device that can be directly installed on any standard faucet. This eliminates the need for consumers to purchase and coordinate multiple separate components (ozone faucet + external generator), greatly improving convenience while maintaining full ozone water generation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated device is designed with universal mounting capabilities that can be installed on standard faucets without requiring specialized fixtures. This universality allows consumers to use a single device with any faucet, eliminating the need for separate ozone faucet purchases and enhancing ease of operation.
4Ease of manufacture
If the ejector is used to mix ozone with water, then ozone water is produced, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the ejector with the ozone generator housing, combining multiple functions (ozone generation, air-water mixing, and housing) into a single integrated structure. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall structure while maintaining the ejector's essential function of mixing ozone with water.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device provides a convenient, safe, and aesthetically pleasing solution by directly outputting ozone water from a standard faucet, overcoming the need for external ozone generators and air pipes, with a compact and user-friendly design.
Implementation Method 1
When water enters the water inlet of the ejector, a negative pressure is generated in the ejector and the ozone generated by the ozone generator is sucked into the ejector
Implementation Method 2
The ozone sucked into the ejector is mixed with the water flowing into the ejector to form ozone water
Implementation Method 3
The one-way valve is configured to control a one-way connection between the exit of the ozone generator and the air inlet of the ejector
Implementation Method 4
The control circuit board is electrically connected to the ozone generator and the air sensor. An air outlet end of the air sensor is connected to an entrance of the ozone generator
