Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Water in existing massage pools is not clean due to bacterial and impurity contamination, affecting user health and leisure experience.
Innovation Solution
An ultraviolet light disinfection apparatus is mounted on the water pipe connected to the massage pool, producing UVC wavelength ultraviolet light to disinfect the water body in the pipe, ensuring clean water for users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If water is supplied to the massage pool through the water pipe for user entertainment, then the pool can be used for leisure activities, but the water becomes contaminated with bacteria and impurities
Solution Approach 1:
The ultraviolet light disinfection apparatus is installed on the water pipe to perform preliminary disinfection of water before it enters the massage pool. This preliminary action prevents bacterial and impurity contamination before the water comes into contact with users, thereby maintaining water cleanliness while enabling continuous leisure use.
Solution Approach 2:
The ultraviolet light acts as an intermediary disinfecting agent between the water source and the massage pool. The light-transmitting body serves as a mediator that allows ultraviolet light to penetrate through while maintaining the structural integrity of the water pipe system, enabling disinfection without disrupting water flow.
2Reliability
If ultraviolet light disinfection apparatus is installed on the water pipe, then water disinfection is achieved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The ultraviolet light source and light-transmitting body are nested within the existing water pipe structure. The housing is mounted on the water pipe, and the light-transmitting body is positioned inside the water flow path, allowing the disinfection function to be integrated into the existing pipeline without requiring a separate complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
The water pipe serves multiple functions: it transports water and simultaneously houses the ultraviolet light disinfection apparatus. The housing structure provides both mechanical support and a mounting platform for the disinfection components, reducing the need for additional structural elements.
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 ultraviolet light disinfection apparatus effectively disinfects the water in the massage pool, ensuring cleanliness and improving the user's leisure and entertainment experience.
Implementation Method 1
a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) disposed inside the housing and provided with a UVC-LED light source
Implementation Method 2
producing ultraviolet light in a UVC wavelength range to disinfect a water body in the water pipe
Implementation Method 3
an ultraviolet light-transmitting body disposed on the housing such that ultraviolet light in a UVC wavelength range produced by the UVC-LED light source can penetrate through the ultraviolet light-transmitting body to enter a water body inside the water pipe
