Rotatable Water Outlet Panel for Scale-Clogged Mesh Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sanitary products with water outlet meshes are prone to scaling and clogging, making them difficult to clean due to complex structures and disassembly challenges.
Innovation Solution
A water outlet device featuring a rotatable and deformable water outlet panel that fits into or detaches from a water outlet body, utilizing a sealing ring and elastic materials for easy cleaning without full disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the water outlet mesh is provided in existing sanitary products to shape water flow, then different water outlet sprays can be produced, but the water outlet mesh is prone to being adhered with water scale or clogged with impurities after long-term use
Solution Approach 1:
The water outlet device is divided into separate components: a water outlet body and a detachable water outlet panel. The water outlet panel can be removed from the water outlet body for cleaning, allowing the mesh to be maintained without disassembling the entire device. This segmentation enables easy access to the mesh for cleaning while preserving the functional integrity of the overall device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing multi-functional sanitary products are designed with complex structures to achieve multiple functions, then different water outlet states can be obtained, but the products become difficult to disassemble or install, making it hard for users to clean the water outlet mesh in daily use
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into a water outlet body and a separate water outlet panel that can be easily detached. This allows users to access and clean the mesh without dealing with complex internal structures, maintaining multi-functionality while simplifying the cleaning operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The water outlet panel containing the mesh is extracted as a separate, detachable component from the main body. This extraction allows users to remove the panel for cleaning purposes without disassembling the entire multi-functional device, making maintenance simple while preserving all water outlet functions.
3Ease of operation
If the water outlet panel is made deformable to fit into the water outlet, then easy installation and detachment are achieved, but the sealing performance under water pressure must be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The water outlet panel incorporates a sealing ring made of elastic material that can deform flexibly. This flexible sealing element can adapt to the water outlet opening during installation and detachment while maintaining effective sealing under water pressure, combining ease of operation with reliable sealing performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing ring's elastic properties allow it to change its physical parameters (deformation) during installation and removal operations, facilitating easy attachment and detachment. Under water pressure conditions, the material properties maintain sufficient rigidity to ensure sealing, thus resolving the contradiction between operational ease and sealing reliability.
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
Facilitates quick and easy cleaning of the water outlet panel by allowing it to be detached and reassembled without tools, maintaining stability under water pressure and ensuring smooth operation.
Implementation Method 1
at least one of the water outlet and the water outlet panel is deformable such that the water outlet panel can be fitted into or detached from the water outlet
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure discloses a water outlet device, including a water outlet body and a water outlet panel relatively rotatably connected to the water outlet body; where the water outlet body has a water outlet chamber, where a diameter of a water outlet of the water outlet chamber is less than a maximum diameter of the water outlet panel, where at least one of the water outlet and the water outlet panel is deformable. The disclosure can implement quick disassembly and assembly of the water outlet panel, thereby reducing difficulty of cleaning a water outlet mesh.
