Soap Liquid Storage Device with Pressure-Balanced Dual-Barrel Filling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional soap liquid storage devices only draw from the main soap barrel, leading to incomplete filling of the auxiliary barrel, and are inconvenient to disassemble and refill, resulting in a lack of soap liquid when the main barrel is empty.
Innovation Solution
A soap liquid storage device comprising a filling barrel and a soap feeding barrel connected by a communication pipe, with a barrel pressure balancing pipe to equalize gas pressures and allow reliable filling of the auxiliary barrel, enabling convenient disassembly and assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of stationary object
If the main soap barrel and auxiliary soap barrel are connected through a connecting manifold, then the auxiliary barrel can serve as capacity expansion, but the auxiliary barrel cannot be reliably filled with soap liquid when pressure in the auxiliary barrel exceeds that in the main barrel
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the soap liquid storage system into two independent barrel bodies (main soap barrel and auxiliary soap barrel) that can be independently filled and managed. Each barrel has its own pressure balancing pipe, allowing independent pressure control and filling operations, thus resolving the filling reliability issue while maintaining expanded storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a pressure balancing pipe as an intermediary component that equalizes pressure between the interior of the auxiliary soap barrel and the exterior environment. This pressure balancing mechanism eliminates the pressure differential that prevents reliable filling, allowing the auxiliary barrel to be filled even when its internal pressure exceeds that of the main barrel.
2Ease of manufacture
If the main soap barrel is replaced by opening an external supporting tank, then the main barrel can be refilled, but the disassembly and assembly process is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the soap liquid storage device into replaceable modular components (main soap barrel, auxiliary soap barrel, connecting manifold). The main soap barrel can be quickly detached from the connecting manifold and replaced with a pre-filled barrel, eliminating the need for complex disassembly of external supporting tanks and simplifying both refilling and replacement operations.
3Volume of stationary object
If the auxiliary soap barrel is used only when the main barrel is empty, then it serves as capacity expansion, but it cannot function as a reliable backup supply
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates two independent, replaceable barrel units that can both function as primary supply sources. The auxiliary soap barrel is no longer dependent on the main barrel being empty; instead, either barrel can be connected to the connecting manifold to supply soap liquid, providing reliable backup capability while maintaining expanded storage capacity.
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
Ensures the filling barrel is filled with soap liquid, allowing seamless supply to the soap liquid supply device without manual filling of the feeding barrel, and facilitates easy disassembly for refilling, ensuring consistent soap liquid availability.
Implementation Method 1
a barrel pressure balancing pipe exposed outside the soap feeding barrel, wherein an outlet of the barrel pressure balancing pipe is higher than a top surface of the filling barrel
Data Source
AI summary
A soap liquid storage device is used together with a soap liquid supply device, the soap liquid storage device comprising a filling barrel and a soap feeding barrel. The soap feeding barrel is arranged lower than the filling barrel and connected with the filling barrel through a communication pipe. The soap feeding barrel includes a soap delivery pipe connected with the soap liquid supply device and a barrel pressure balancing pipe exposed outside the soap feeding barrel, and an outlet of the barrel pressure balancing pipe is higher than a top surface of the filling barrel.
