Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-functional sanitary products face challenges with complex structures that make cleaning the water outlet screen difficult due to scale adhesion and clogging, requiring disassembly and use of tools, which complicates maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A water flow shaper with a water outlet body and a rotatable water outlet panel, featuring a clearance opening allowing easy fitting and detachment, simplifying cleaning without full disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the water outlet screen is integrated into an external housing to ensure product appearance integrity, then the appearance quality is improved, but the ease of cleaning the water outlet screen deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The water outlet device is segmented into multiple independent components: the external housing, the water outlet body, and the water outlet screen. The water outlet body can be detached from the external housing, and the water outlet screen can be removed from the water outlet body, allowing cleaning without damaging the appearance of the external housing.
Solution Approach 2:
The water outlet screen is extracted from the integrated housing structure and placed within a detachable water outlet body. This allows the screen to be accessed and removed for cleaning while the external housing maintains its intact appearance.

If the water outlet screen is integrated into an external housing to ensure product appearance integrity, then the appearance quality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into modular segments (housing, water outlet body, screen) that can be independently manufactured and assembled, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining appearance quality.
3Shape
If the water outlet screen is integrated into an external housing to ensure product appearance integrity, then the appearance quality is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The segmented design allows the water outlet screen to be easily accessed by removing the water outlet body from the housing, facilitating maintenance and repair without compromising the external appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The water outlet screen is extracted into a removable component within the water outlet body, enabling easy removal and cleaning while the housing remains intact.
