Adjustable Fluid Dispenser Dosing With Reversible Dose Orientation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fluid dispensers lack the ability to adjust the dosage of dispensed fluid products, which can lead to inefficiencies in fluid usage and user experience, particularly in environments where different quantities of hand cleansing products are required.
Innovation Solution
A fluid dispenser with an adjustable dosing mechanism that allows for high and low dose orientations, utilizing a horseshoe-shaped body with dose adjusting flanges positioned differently for each orientation, affecting the gap size between the pump and the dispenser, thereby controlling the amount of fluid dispensed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed dosing mechanism is used in fluid dispensers, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different dosing requirements is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The dosing mechanism incorporates adjustable components that allow the gap between the pump and dispenser to be dynamically changed between high dose and low dose orientations, enabling the system to adapt to different dosing requirements rather than being fixed
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical parameter of the gap size between the pump and dispenser by reorienting the dosing mechanism body, which directly controls the dosing quantity without requiring complete redesign of the system
2Productivity
If no dosing adjustment is provided, then the device structure is simple, but the fluid usage efficiency is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable dosing mechanism allows optimization of fluid dispensing quantities based on actual usage requirements, improving fluid usage efficiency while maintaining a relatively simple structural design through reorientable components
3Measurement precision
If a fixed gap between pump and dispenser is maintained, then the mechanism is simple, but the dosing precision is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The invention achieves precise dosing control by changing the gap parameter between the pump and dispenser through reorienting the dosing mechanism body, allowing precise quantity control without overly complicating the overall mechanism

AI summary
A fluid dispenser includes an adjustable dosing mechanism that permits adjustment of the amount of fluid to be dispensed. An adjustable dosing mechanism may be inserted into the dispenser in either a high dose orientation or a low dose orientation. The body further includes pair of dose adjusting flanges. When the adjustable dosing mechanism body is received into the dispenser in the high dose orientation, a relatively larger quantity of fluid product is dispensed. When the adjustable dosing mechanism body is received into the dispenser in the low dose orientation, a relatively smaller quantity of fluid product is dispensed.
