Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional pipes or containers are used for rainwater collection, then rainwater can be collected and discharged, but excessive discharge and pollution problems occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides rainwater collection into separate functional segments: a first collection container for initial rainwater capture, a second collection container for filtered rainwater storage, and a rainwater separator with filtering components. This segmentation allows different treatment levels for different rainwater quality requirements, reducing pollution while maintaining efficient collection capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The rainwater separator acts as an intermediary device between the first and second collection containers, equipped with filtering components that intercept and remove impurities from rainwater before it reaches the clean water storage. This mediator function effectively reduces pollution while preserving rainwater treatment efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If a fixed rainwater collection system is installed, then rainwater can be collected, but cleaning and maintenance become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into detachable segments including the first collection container, second collection container, and rainwater separator with filtering components. Each segment can be independently removed and cleaned, making maintenance easy despite the multi-component structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable structure where components can be detached and reassembled. The filtering components can be removed from the rainwater separator for cleaning, and containers can be detached for maintenance, enabling easy operation without permanent installation constraints.
3Ease of manufacture
If a simple collection system is used, then installation is easy, but filtration capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The filtration system is segmented into removable filtering components that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This allows precise manufacturing of filtration elements without complicating the overall installation process, as components connect through standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The rainwater separator serves as an intermediary structure that houses filtering components, providing a framework for precise filtration without requiring complex integrated manufacturing. The separator mediates between simple container structures and sophisticated filtration mechanisms.

Function Achieved in This Case
The system provides purer rainwater by filtering impurities, is easy to install and clean, and adapts to various storage tank sizes, enhancing user experience.
Implementation Method 1
the top of the support plate has a certain inclined angle... tree branches and other debris fall into the lower pipe of the main body along the second stop component through the first opening
Implementation Method 2
the rainwater harvesting system is provided with a filtering component inside the rainwater harvesting system, which is capable of performing preliminary filtration of the rainwater, and discharges impurities in the rainwater from a rainwater separator
