Scented Bidet Nozzle With Integrated Essence Spray Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bidet nozzles lack the ability to scent the environment and effectively eliminate malodors after use, failing to meet modern comfort demands and personal cleaning needs in European toilets without a built-in bidet.
Innovation Solution
A bidet nozzle construct with a scent module that includes a scent tube and spray tip to release essence into the air, combined with a water sprayer for personal cleaning and a valve for control, designed for external use on toilets without a built-in bidet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional bidet nozzle is installed for personal cleaning, then the cleaning function is provided, but the ambience cannot be scented and malodors persist
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the bidet nozzle functionality with a scent module in a single integrated construct. The scent module includes a scent tube containing essence and a spray tip that releases scent into the ambience, merging the cleaning and scenting functions into one device that addresses both personal hygiene and environmental comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The bidet nozzle construct is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides water spraying for personal cleaning through the water sprayer, eliminates malodors through the scent release mechanism, and enhances user comfort through ambient scenting. This multi-functional design allows a single device to address multiple needs in toilet facilities.
2Ease of operation
If only a water sprayer is provided for cleaning, then the cleaning need is met, but user comfort and hygiene standards are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates a scent module with the water sprayer system, combining the mechanical cleaning function with a chemical scenting function. The scent module includes a scent tube with essence and a spray tip that activates to release scent, creating a complementary effect that enhances user comfort and perceived hygiene effectiveness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a bidet nozzle is added to existing toilet, then personal cleaning is enabled, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The bidet nozzle construct is divided into distinct functional modules: a main body containing the water sprayer and valve assembly, and a separate scent module containing the scent tube and spray tip. This segmentation allows each module to be independently manufactured, assembled, and maintained, reducing overall structural complexity while enabling multiple functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The scent module is designed as a nested component within the bidet nozzle construct. The scent tube is positioned inside the module housing, with the spray tip extending from the housing. This nested arrangement allows the scenting function to be integrated into the existing nozzle structure without requiring separate external components, thereby minimizing added complexity.
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
Provides personal cleaning and ambient scenting, effectively eliminating malodors, enhancing user comfort and meeting modern hygiene needs in toilets without a built-in bidet.
Implementation Method 1
a spray tip (204), which is located on the scent tube (203) and sprays the essence inside the scent tube (203) via the scent release outlet (2013) into the ambience as a result of a force being applied on the pressure surface (2031) under the scent tube (203)

AI summary
A bidet nozzle construct includes a bidet nozzle having a main body which is connected on the toilet under the toilet seat lid, a water sprayer which extends from below the main body into the toilet bowl to spray clean water from the rear part of the toilet bowl, a valve which is positioned next to the toilet bowl at one end of the main body and enables the water sprayer to be turned on and off, and a scent module including a module main body, which is disposed at the front end of the valve of the bidet nozzle. A scent tube is located inside the module main body and sprays, by a spray tip positioned inside the module main body, an essence via the scent release outlet of the module main body, as a result of a force being applied on the pressure surface under the scent tube.
