Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional terahertz water quality activators only have water activation function, then the device structure is simple, but additional disinfection equipment is needed which reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the water activation function (terahertz transmitter) and disinfection function (heating plate) into a single integrated device. The heating base contains both the terahertz transmitter for water activation and the heating plate for disinfection, allowing users to perform both operations without needing separate equipment, thus improving ease of operation while accepting increased device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The heating base is designed as a multi-functional platform that can both activate water using terahertz radiation and disinfect water using heating. This universal design allows the single device to serve multiple purposes (water activation and disinfection), eliminating the need for additional separate equipment and improving operational convenience
2Productivity
If heating plate is added for disinfection, then purification efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The heating plate is integrated into the heating base structure, combining the disinfection function with the existing water activation function. This merging approach enables simultaneous or sequential water activation and disinfection, improving purification efficiency while containing the complexity increase within a unified device architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The heating base serves as a universal platform that performs both water activation (via terahertz transmitter) and disinfection (via heating plate). This multi-functionality allows the device to handle complete water purification processes in one unit, improving productivity by eliminating the need for separate disinfection equipment
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
The integrated design allows for improved purification efficiency by simultaneously modifying water structure and disinfecting, with enhanced user convenience through observation and temperature monitoring, thus addressing the limitations of standalone activation systems.
Implementation Method 1
the terahertz water quality activator emits terahertz radiation, hydrogen and ion bonds in water was caused to vibrate and rotate
Implementation Method 2
a power plug, in combination with a power cord, transfers current through a connector to a heating plate, thereby heating and disinfecting the water flow

AI summary
A terahertz water quality activator is provided, which includes a heating base and a top cover. A middle of an upper surface of the heating base is fixedly connected to a water storage tank, a middle of an inner bottom surface of the water storage tank is fixedly connected to a heating plate. An interior of the heating plate is fixedly connected to a heating wire. In the present disclosure, during an actual use, to-be-purified water is poured into the interior of the water storage tank by a user, then a terahertz transmitter is started to emit terahertz signals to water flow, thereby changing microstructure of the water flow and improving its physical and chemical properties. At the same time, quality and activity of the water can also be evaluated. Meanwhile, a power plug, in cooperation with the power cord transfers current to the heating plate through a connector.
