Aseptic Work System Main Connection Part
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional aseptic work systems require an increase in the size of the main aseptic device to accommodate multiple auxiliary devices due to the need for various connection ports, which is inefficient and space-consuming.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a main connection part with an external blockage member that allows connection with both larger and smaller auxiliary devices through a single main connection part, eliminating the need for multiple connection ports by using a connection opening part for the smaller devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple connection ports are provided to accommodate different auxiliary aseptic devices, then the adaptability of the main aseptic device is improved, but the size of the main aseptic device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The main connection part is designed with a universal interface that can accommodate both larger first auxiliary connection parts and smaller second auxiliary connection parts. The external blockage member with its connection opening part enables the same main connection part to serve multiple functions by connecting to different types of auxiliary devices, thereby achieving multi-functionality without requiring separate connection ports for each device type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of connection ports is increased to support more auxiliary devices, then the versatility of the system is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of providing separate connection ports for different auxiliary devices, the invention uses a single main connection part that can universally connect to various auxiliary devices through the external blockage member mechanism. This reduces the number of components and simplifies the overall system structure while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The external blockage member acts as an intermediary component that enables connection between the main connection part and different types of auxiliary connection parts. This mediator component simplifies the interface design by providing a standardized connection mechanism that can adapt to various auxiliary devices without requiring multiple specialized connection ports.
