Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bidet systems are not suitable for washing and drying female anterior private parts, are expensive, require pre-installation, and lack movable drying mechanisms and medication delivery systems, making them inconvenient for accessing and cleaning the genital or anal areas effectively.
Innovation Solution
A bidet seat system with a retractable and rotatable spraying nozzle assembly, a drying nozzle assembly, and a medicine delivery system, controlled by user input, allowing for precise targeting and application of water, cleaning solutions, and medications to hard-to-reach areas, including a toilet seat assembly with a base housing for the drying mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a bidet system is pre-installed with a fixed water spray nozzle, then water cleaning function is provided, but the system cannot access and clean female anterior private parts effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the spray nozzle movable rather than fixed. The nozzle is connected to a positioning mechanism that allows it to move to different locations, enabling it to reach both posterior and anterior private parts. This dynamic positioning capability resolves the contradiction by providing versatile cleaning coverage without requiring multiple fixed nozzles or complex reconfiguration systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing a single bidet system with a movable nozzle that can serve multiple cleaning functions - both posterior and anterior private parts. The nozzle can be positioned to clean the anal area traditionally, and also extended to reach female anterior private parts, making the system universally applicable to various cleaning needs without requiring separate devices.
2Ease of operation
If a bidet system is pre-installed, then water spray function is available, but the system is expensive and requires installation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the bidet system into separate, portable components rather than a single pre-installed unit. The spray nozzle, drying mechanism, and medicine delivery system can be detached and carried separately, allowing the user to take the system anywhere without permanent installation. This resolves the contradiction by providing ease of operation through portability while simplifying the manufacturing and installation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential cleaning functions (spray nozzle, drying mechanism, medicine delivery) from a traditional pre-installed bidet system and makes them portable. By taking out these key components and designing them as handheld or movable units, the system becomes affordable and installation-free while maintaining its core functionality, thus resolving the cost and installation contradiction.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a bidet system has a fixed drying mechanism, then drying function is provided, but the mechanism cannot be localized to specific areas needing drying
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics to the drying mechanism by making it movable rather than fixed. The drying mechanism is connected to a positioning system that allows it to move to different locations and be localized to specific areas needing drying, such as the anal area or female anterior private parts. This dynamic capability resolves the contradiction by providing adaptable drying localization without requiring a complex system with multiple fixed drying outlets.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a bidet system lacks movable components, then the structure is simple, but the system cannot freely access hard-to-reach areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by incorporating movable components into the bidet system. The spray nozzle and drying mechanism are made movable through simple positioning mechanisms that allow them to reach hard-to-access areas like the anal region and female anterior private parts. This resolves the contradiction by providing adaptability to reach difficult areas while keeping the movable mechanism structure relatively simple and easy to manufacture.
