Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pool nozzles lack improved performance in directing treated water, leading to suboptimal circulation and surface cleanliness.
Innovation Solution
A pool nozzle assembly with a hollow base, a ball portion, and an elongated extension that can be securely attached to the pool wall, allowing for adjustable angles and a reduced diameter for enhanced water flow and circulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a traditional nozzle design is used, then the nozzle can be easily manufactured and installed, but the water flow distribution and circulation performance are suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle is divided into multiple functional segments: a base portion for mounting to the pool wall, a body portion containing the flow channel, and a cap portion that seals and directs water flow. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall circulation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The nozzle design incorporates a multi-directional flow capability, allowing water to be directed not only horizontally but also at upward and downward angles. This dimensional expansion of flow direction enables better water circulation throughout the pool volume, addressing the suboptimal circulation performance of traditional single-direction nozzles.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the nozzle is fixed at a standard angle, then installation is simple, but the nozzle cannot be adjusted to optimize water flow direction and pool surface cleanliness
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle incorporates an adjustable mechanism that allows the flow direction to be dynamically changed after installation. The design includes movable components that enable the nozzle to be positioned at various angles, providing adaptability for optimizing water flow direction and pool surface cleanliness without requiring complex reinstallation procedures.
3Quantity of substance
If a larger diameter nozzle is used, then more water can be discharged, but the nozzle creates more turbulence and reduces surface cleanliness
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle design features varying cross-sectional dimensions along its length, with the diameter being optimized at different locations. The body portion has a diameter that is smaller than the base portion, creating a controlled flow transition that maintains adequate water discharge volume while reducing turbulence and improving pool surface cleanliness.
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 design provides a strong and consistent water flow, improving pool circulation and surface cleanliness by allowing for better water distribution and adjustable nozzle orientations.
Implementation Method 1
The treated water is delivered back to the pool via one or more outlets. The outlet is typically in the form of a nozzle that is configured to direct the treated water into the pool.
