Purification Device Vertically Adjustable Water Outlet Nozzle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional purification devices experience water splashing issues due to a fixed vertical level of the water-outlet nozzle, especially when using cups of varying heights, leading to inefficiency and potential spillage.
Innovation Solution
The purification device incorporates a vertically movable water-outlet nozzle with a rotatable and adjustable design, allowing for customizable height settings and a stopping protrusion to prevent hand slippage, ensuring secure grip and easy operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the water-outlet nozzle has a fixed vertical level, then the device structure is simple, but water splashing occurs when using cups of varying heights
Solution Approach 1:
The water-outlet nozzle is made vertically movable instead of fixed, allowing it to be adjusted to different heights. The nozzle can be moved up and down along the guide rail to match the cup height, preventing water splashing while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The nozzle assembly is divided into separate components: the nozzle body, the vertically movable cover, and the guide rail system. This segmentation allows the nozzle to be independently adjusted without affecting the entire device structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the water-outlet nozzle is made vertically movable to adjust height, then water splashing is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle is designed with vertical movability through a simple guide rail and movable cover mechanism, enabling adaptation to different cup heights without requiring a complex adjustment system.
Solution Approach 2:
The user can directly grasp the vertically movable cover and slide it to the desired position without needing additional tools or complex controls. The system serves itself by allowing direct manual adjustment.
3Ease of manufacture
If the vertically movable cover has a smooth surface for easy cleaning, then maintenance is simple, but hand slippage occurs during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The cover surface has different textures for different functions: the upper portion remains smooth for easy cleaning, while the lower portion features a stopping protrusion with a textured surface that provides secure grip and prevents hand slippage during operation.
