Wall-Mounted Valve Scalable Protrusion Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall-mounted water-controlling valve assemblies have inconsistent protruding lengths due to varying seat depths, making installation and operation difficult and affecting construction quality.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted water-controlling valve assembly with a seat, valve jacket, fixing ring, and covering cap, where the valve jacket is slidably mounted in a tubular sleeve, allowing the valve to adjust its protruding length relative to the wall, ensuring a consistent installation length through a scalable design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the seat depth is not controlled, then the protruding length becomes inconsistent, but controlling the seat depth increases manufacturing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The valve jacket is designed to be slidable relative to the seat, allowing dynamic adjustment of the protruding length. This dynamic structure compensates for variations in seat depth without requiring precise control of the seat deposition process, thereby maintaining protruding length consistency while avoiding increased manufacturing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the parameter of protruding length through the slidable valve jacket mechanism. By allowing the valve jacket to move along the tubular sleeve, the system can adjust the effective protruding length to maintain consistency despite variations in seat depth, resolving the contradiction between precision and complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If the protruding length is inconsistent, then construction quality is affected, but achieving consistent length increases installation difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The slidable valve jacket provides a dynamic adjustment mechanism that allows installers to achieve consistent protruding lengths easily by simply sliding the valve jacket to the appropriate position, rather than requiring complex positioning procedures or precise control during installation.
3Ease of operation
If the valve assembly is made scalable, then installation is simplified, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The valve jacket is nested within the tubular sleeve, allowing it to slide smoothly along the sleeve. This nested structure enables scalable adjustment of the protruding length while maintaining a compact and integrated design, avoiding excessive structural complexity despite the added functionality.

AI summary
A wall-mounted water-controlling valve assembly has a seat, a valve jacket, a valve, a fixing ring, and a covering cap. The seat is deposited inside a wall and has a tubular sleeve. The valve jacket is slidably mounted in the tubular sleeve of the seat. The valve is mounted in the valve jacket. The fixing ring is connected to the tubular sleeve by screwing. The covering cap is connected to the valve jacket and the fixing ring and has a front side and a rear side. The front side of the covering cap is connected to the valve jacket. The rear side of the covering cap is connected to the fixing ring. The valve is scalably in the tubular sleeve via the valve jacket to adjust a protruding length of the wall-mounted water-controlling valve assembly to remain at the same length relative to the wall.
