Showerhead Movable Core Axis for Temporary Water Stoppage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water output devices, such as those in shower equipment, lack a convenient mechanism for temporarily stopping and resuming water flow, leading to user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A temporary stop water output device featuring a hollow main body with a movable core axis, a cap-shaped connector fixing piece, and a push button, allowing for easy control of water flow by positioning the movable core axis within a water channel to either allow or block water output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a control switch is used to stop water flow temporarily, then water flow can be controlled, but the control switch is not disposed on the water output equipment itself causing user inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the control function directly into the water output device by incorporating a movable core axis within the showerhead body. The movable core axis can be shifted between a first position (allowing water flow) and a second position (blocking water flow), merging the control mechanism with the output equipment itself, thereby eliminating the need for separate control switches and improving ease of operation.
2Reliability
If a movable core axis is used to block water flow, then temporary stoppage is achieved, but the mechanism requires precise positioning within the water channel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the control function from a complex positioned mechanism and simplifies it by using a movable core axis that can be easily shifted between two distinct positions (first position for water flow, second position for blocking). The core axis includes a blocking portion that directly obstructs the water channel when in the second position, achieving reliable water stoppage through a simple positional change rather than complex precision positioning.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the movable core axis is made hollow, then water can flow through it when needed, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The movable core axis is designed with a hollow structure that serves multiple functions: it can allow water to pass through when positioned at the first position (providing water flow), and it can block the water channel when positioned at the second position (providing water stoppage). This multi-functional design enables a single component to handle both water flow and water blocking operations, improving adaptability while maintaining relatively simple structure.

AI summary
A temporary stop water output device includes a main body, which is hollow in shape, and has one end provided with a water output port; a movable core axis, which is hollow in shape and is disposed in the main body, and has one end connected to the water output port; a connector fixing piece, which is of a cap shape, and on which is provided with a water channel, and which is located on a trajectory at other end of the movable core axis, while its inner wall is connected movably to other end of the movable core axis; and a connector, connected to inside other end of the main body through the connector fixing piece. The temporary stop water output device is simple in construction, easy to operate, in achieving good water temporary stoppage effect, and satisfying user demand in application.
