Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water-carrying circuit systems face challenges with magnetite separation, as users must actively remove magnetite from filter units, and conditioning water for circulation systems is difficult to manage, especially in private households, where ensuring optimal conductivity and preventing corrosion is crucial.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device with a magnetic separator that automatically removes magnetite when the filter is opened, combined with a system for conditioning water that adjusts conductivity using an ion exchange resin and adjustable mixing elements, ensuring optimal water quality and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a magnetic filter is provided to separate magnetite from heating water, then magnetite separation capability is improved, but automatic removal of magnetite is not ensured requiring user intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic element is designed to automatically self-remove from the filter element when the closure element is opened. The rod-shaped element with magnetic element is guided by the closure element's movement, causing the magnetic element to exit the filter area automatically without requiring user attention or manual removal actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic element is pre-positioned on the rod-shaped element that is mechanically linked to the closure element. This preliminary arrangement ensures that upon opening the filter, the magnetic element is automatically guided out of the filter area before the user even notices the need to remove magnetite deposits.
2Reliability
If water conditioning with conductivity adjustment is implemented, then water quality and corrosion prevention are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device is designed to perform multiple functions: filtration of particles, magnetic separation of magnetite, and water conditioning with conductivity adjustment. By integrating these functions into a single device, the overall system complexity is reduced compared to having separate units for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic separator, filter element, and conductivity adjustment mechanism are merged into a single integrated cleaning device. The housing contains all components, and the control unit coordinates all operations, simplifying the system architecture while maintaining comprehensive water treatment capabilities.
