Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If water is directly injected through the injection hole to generate siphoning, then the drain-off pipeline generates siphoning to realize discharge, but the flushing force is small and large water pressure is needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedischarge efficiencyVSAvoidwater pressure requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStress or pressure

Solution Approach 1:

The flow increasing device acts as an intermediary component between the injection hole and the drain-off pipeline. It includes a flow increasing channel with a Venturi structure that mediates the water flow, creating a vacuum suction effect that enhances discharge efficiency without requiring high water pressure from the supply source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention utilizes hydraulic principles through the Venturi structure in the flow increasing channel. The constricted section creates a pressure differential that generates vacuum suction, harnessing hydraulic energy to improve flushing performance without increasing supply pressure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

2Productivity

If pressure water is injected directly to the bottom of the bedpan, then flushing is achieved, but loud flushing noise and splashing phenomenon are generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflushing performanceVSAvoidflushing noise and splashing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The flow increasing device serves as a mediator that redirects water flow away from direct impact with the bedpan bottom. The flow increasing channel guides water along a controlled path, preventing direct collision with the bedpan surface and thereby eliminating noise and splashing while maintaining flushing effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The flow increasing channel is designed to cushion and redirect water flow before it reaches the bedpan bottom. The channel structure pre-conditiones the water flow, distributing it in a controlled manner that prevents sudden impact and the associated harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Productivity

If the injection hole structure is used, then water can be injected to generate siphoning, but the structure is complex and requires high manufacturing precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedischarge capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The flow increasing device merges multiple functions into a single integrated component: it combines the injection function, flow amplification through Venturi structure, and noise reduction in one unit. This consolidation simplifies the overall structure and reduces the number of separate parts that need to be manufactured and assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The flow increasing device performs multiple functions simultaneously: it increases water flow velocity, creates vacuum suction for enhanced discharge, and reduces noise and splashing. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby simplifying manufacturing.

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