Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the side spraying outlet device is fixed to the wall and connected to the supporting arm by hard pipe, then the device structure is stable and reliable, but the assembly position cannot be adjusted and assembly cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces hard pipes with flexible hoses to connect the side spraying outlet device to the supporting arm. This flexible connection allows the device to be positioned at different locations along the supporting arm while maintaining structural stability and water supply reliability, thus resolving the contradiction between structure stability and position adjustability.
2Device complexity
If the side spraying outlet device is fixed with respect to the supporting arm, then the device structure is simplified, but the assembly position requires precise positioning and increases assembly cost
Solution Approach 1:
By using flexible hoses instead of rigid hard pipes, the device structure remains simple while eliminating the need for precise positioning during assembly. The flexible connection accommodates various installation positions without requiring complex positioning mechanisms, thereby reducing assembly cost and improving ease of manufacture.
3Reliability
If the side spraying outlet device is fixed to the wall, then the device provides stable water supply, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible hose connection enables quick installation by simply connecting the hose between the supporting arm and the side spraying outlet device, eliminating time-consuming alignment and fastening procedures required by hard pipe connections. Water supply stability is maintained through the adequate flexibility and connection design of the hose, thus reducing assembly time while preserving reliability.
