Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If water flows rapidly through the water tap, then water flow speed is maintained, but water molecules cannot be sufficiently refined and filtering device cannot effectively remove contaminants
Solution Approach 1:
The water flow path is segmented into multiple stages with different refinement layers (coarse filtration layer, fine filtration layer, and water molecule refinement layer) arranged in sequence. This allows water to undergo progressive refinement at each stage, achieving both effective contaminant removal and molecular refinement without requiring excessively high flow speeds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of water molecules by introducing a water molecule refinement layer containing magnetic materials and Far-infrared emitting materials. These materials alter the molecular structure and properties of water, converting regular water molecules into finer magnetized water molecules that can penetrate and dissolve contaminants more effectively, thereby resolving the contradiction between flow speed and refinement quality.
2Reliability
If filtering device uses strong filtration materials, then contaminant removal is improved, but filtering device may break and create tiny broken pieces that block water outlet
Solution Approach 1:
Different filtration layers are designed with different material properties and pore sizes tailored to specific filtration needs. The coarse filtration layer uses larger pore sizes for initial contaminant removal, while the fine filtration layer and water molecule refinement layer use progressively smaller pore sizes and different material compositions. This localized optimization allows effective contaminant removal without requiring uniformly strong materials throughout, reducing the risk of breakage.
Solution Approach 2:
The water molecule refinement layer employs composite materials including magnetic materials and Far-infrared emitting materials combined with ceramic particles. These composite structures provide both the necessary filtration strength and molecular refinement capabilities while maintaining structural integrity. The composite nature distributes mechanical stress more evenly, reducing the likelihood of breakage and generation of blocking particles.
3Volume of moving object
If filtering device is installed within water outlet, then space utilization is improved, but water flow is restricted and only small water flow comes out slowly
Solution Approach 1:
The filtration and refinement functions are integrated into a compact cylindrical structure that utilizes the vertical dimension of the water outlet. Multiple filtration layers are stacked vertically within the limited radial space, allowing comprehensive water treatment without significantly reducing the horizontal water flow cross-section. This dimensional arrangement maintains adequate water flow rate while achieving thorough filtration and molecular refinement.

AI summary
A water quality-upgrading device includes a container having an inner peripheral wall defining a receiving chamber and two opposite ends respectively defining an inlet and an outlet; at least two water molecule refinement layers disposed in the receiving chamber; two filtering sheets disposed at said inlet and said outlet of the container respectively; and wherein, when water flows into said receiving chamber, the water molecule refinement layers are capable of reducing dimension of water molecules so as to spread the finer water molecules on an oil sludge stained on a substance such that the finer water molecules penetrate into gaps formed between the oil sludge and an external surface of the substance, thereby reducing contact area amount and simultaneously weakening a bonding property between the oil sludge and the external surface of the substance to facilitate removal of the oil sludge off the substance by of a wiping cloth.
