Pipeline structure and pool body
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bathtubs with external pipelines suffer from poor user experience due to bulging issues when the pipelines abut against the outer side of the pool body.
Innovation Solution
A pipeline structure is arranged within the pool body, specifically between the hard pool body accommodation cavity and the soft pool body, utilizing multi-way hard pipes and hoses connected by nozzles, and secured with a waterproof external thread structure and tapered press ring mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If pipelines are arranged externally on the bathtub, then installation is simple, but the bathtub bulges and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The pipeline structure is nested within the annular cavity formed between the soft pool body and the hard pool body accommodation cavity. The multi-way hard pipes and hoses are accommodated inside this cavity, making the pipelines invisible from the outside while maintaining their functionality for water distribution and massage operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The pipeline arrangement moves from a two-dimensional external surface layout to a three-dimensional internal cavity configuration. By utilizing the vertical and radial space within the annular cavity, the pipelines are repositioned from the external surface to the internal volume, eliminating the bulging issue while preserving installation accessibility.
2Shape
If pipelines are arranged internally in the pool body, then the bathtub appearance improves and bulging is prevented, but pipeline installation and maintenance becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The pipeline system is segmented into modular components including multi-way hard pipes with multiple connection points, detachable hoses, and interchangeable nozzles. This segmentation allows for easier installation and maintenance by enabling individual component replacement without dismantling the entire pipeline system, despite the internal cavity arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-way hard pipes are designed with multiple connection interfaces that can accommodate different types of hoses and nozzles. This universal design allows the same pipeline structure to serve multiple functions including water supply, drainage, and massage operations, simplifying both installation and maintenance procedures.
