Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cleaning devices require frequent and laborious operation due to the inability to efficiently mix and spray gas and liquid simultaneously, often resulting in excessive mist formation, and existing solutions complicate the process with multiple nozzle configurations that are inconvenient to switch between functions.

Innovation Solution

A spray-gun apparatus with a rotary structure and connection adapter featuring separate gas output and suction paths, allowing for efficient gas-liquid mixing and dust suction, and enabling quick function changes without disassembling the nozzle cover-bodies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If high-flow gas is mixed with liquid and sprayed out, then cleaning capability is improved, but large amount of mist-like water drops are generated causing inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning capabilityVSAvoidmist-like water drops
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The spray nozzle is divided into multiple spray holes arranged in different directions. Each spray hole sprays liquid in a specific direction rather than mixing gas and liquid together, which prevents mist formation while maintaining cleaning capability through multi-directional liquid coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The gas flow path and liquid spray paths are completely separated. Gas enters through one path while liquid is sprayed through separate holes, extracting the harmful mixing effect while preserving the beneficial cleaning functions of both gas and liquid.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If nozzle cover-body with gas-pumping hole is used, then dust suction capability is improved, but operator must repeatedly dismantle and mount different nozzle cover-bodies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust suction capabilityVSAvoidrepeated dismantling
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The single nozzle cover-body integrates both spray functions and dust suction function. The spray holes can spray liquid for cleaning, while the gas-pumping hole enables dust suction capability, making one component perform multiple functions and eliminating the need to switch between different nozzle cover-bodies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The spray holes and gas-pumping hole are combined in the same nozzle cover-body structure. This merging of functions allows the operator to use a single unified component for both liquid spraying and dust suction operations, improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If conventional sprayer is used, then结构简单 (structure is simple), but frequent laborious pressing is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidfrequent pressing
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The spray nozzle maintains continuous liquid spraying capability without requiring repeated pressing actions. The water storage bucket and pump system enable continuous operation, eliminating the need for frequent manual intervention while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A spray-gun apparatus, comprising a spray-gun handle, a spray-gun tube-body, and a connection adapter; wherein the connection adapter is connected between the spray-gun handle and the spray-gun tube-body; wherein the first conduction tube is connected with the spray-gun handle and the spray-gun tube-body to use as a gas output path, and the second conduction tube is connected with a second cover-body to use as a gas suction path. Thereby, the gas sent from the spray-gun handle is blown out through the first conduction tube of the connection adapter and the spray-gun tube-body, and the water-sucking tube set inside the spray-gun tube-body will be made to spray liquid; and the second conduction tube of the connection adapter is used to connect a gas suction apparatus, so that the gas around the second conduction tube can be sucked into through the second conduction tube of the connection adapter.
