Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional reverse osmosis water purifying device is installed, then water filtration function is achieved, but complex installation work is required including pipe connections and wall drilling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the water supply and waste water drainage functions from traditional fixed installation requirements. The device uses a removable container that can be manually filled with raw water and automatically discharges waste water, eliminating the need for permanent pipe connections and wall drilling while maintaining effective water filtration.
Solution Approach 2:
The device employs automatic water level sensing and pump control systems that enable self-service operation. When the raw water container reaches a certain level, the system automatically activates the pump for filtration, and waste water is automatically discharged when the purified water container needs refilling, reducing the need for manual intervention and complex installation.
2Loss of substance
If traditional water purifying device is installed, then water purification is achieved, but waste water cannot be recycled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a waste water recycling system where waste water from the filtration process is collected in a separate container and automatically transferred back to the raw water container when needed. This recovery mechanism reduces water loss and improves overall water utilization efficiency by reusing waste water for subsequent filtration cycles.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous water purification operation by automatically recycling waste water back into the raw water supply. The pump continuously operates to transfer waste water when the purified water container level drops, ensuring uninterrupted filtration and maximizing water utilization without manual intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional water purifying device is installed, then filtration function is achieved, but relocation requires professional technician intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the water purifying device into separable components: a removable raw water container, a main filtration unit, and a purified water container. This segmentation allows the device to be easily disassembled and relocated without requiring professional technicians, as each component can be independently handled and reassembled at the new location.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates dynamic, movable connections between components rather than fixed permanent installations. The containers can be easily detached and reattached, and the system automatically adjusts to new positions through its automatic water level sensing and pump control mechanisms, enabling flexible relocation without professional intervention.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick setup and use without professional installation, recycles waste water, and can be easily moved, reducing waste and simplifying the installation process while maintaining effective water filtration.
Implementation Method 1
the pump being able to suck water from the raw/waste water common container to the purifier
Implementation Method 2
the purifier being provided for filtering water pumped by the pump
Implementation Method 3
the raw water which has a density smaller than the waste water's density is pushed and moved to the upper space by the waste water

AI summary
An installation-free water purifying device comprises a raw/waste water common container and a filtering body. This raw/waste water common container is separated by a partition into an upper space and a lower space. The filtering body has a storing space, a purified water container, a filtering unit, and a flowing controller. Raw water is initially stored in the raw/waste water common container 10. Next, raw water in the upper space is pumped to the filtering unit for water filtering and then guided as purified water into the purified water container. Waste water generated from the filtering unit is guided into the vertical guiding portion so as to push the raw water in the lower space moving upward. In which, it does not require any complicated installing work. Waste water can be recycled. The user can start to use it quickly by an electric plug.
