Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the spraying assembly uses a complex rod unit with multiple components (shaft, annular sheet, circular fitting element, internal bushing, external bushing, screw nut), then the assembly can achieve proper structural function, but the manufacturing becomes troublesome and fabrication costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural functionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the shaft, annular sheet, circular fitting element, internal bushing, external bushing, and screw nut into a single integrated impeller component. This consolidation eliminates multiple separate parts and assembly steps, directly reducing manufacturing complexity and fabrication costs while maintaining the structural function of water spraying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated impeller component performs multiple functions simultaneously: it serves as the rotational shaft, provides bearing surfaces through the internal and external bushings, includes the annular sheet for water flow, and incorporates the circular fitting element for mounting. This multi-functionality reduces the number of components needed, simplifying both manufacture and assembly.
