Atomizing sports bottle with concealed water supply tube
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric atomizing water bottles suffer from inconvenient disassembly and increased risk of secondary contamination due to exposed water supply tubes, particularly during outdoor use.
Innovation Solution
A concealed water supply tube design is implemented within a vacuum layer, integrated with a flexible seal ring and ring-shaped structure, allowing for easy refilling and reduced contamination risk, along with a leak-proof lid closure mechanism and multifunctional drinking spout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a water supply tube is installed in the lid of an atomizing water bottle, then the atomizing function can be achieved, but the disassembly becomes inconvenient and the risk of secondary contamination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The water supply tube is nested inside the vacuum insulation layer between the bottle body and the liner, making it invisible and inaccessible from the outside. This nesting approach allows the tube to remain functional for atomizing while preventing contamination and facilitating easy disassembly since the tube cannot interfere with lid placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The vacuum insulation layer serves as an intermediary medium that houses the water supply tube. This intermediate space allows the tube to be positioned without protruding into the external environment, thus preventing contamination while maintaining functionality.
2Ease of operation
If a water supply tube is exposed on the lid, then water can be supplied for atomizing, but the tube interferes with proper lid placement and increases contamination risk
Solution Approach 1:
The water supply tube is nested within the vacuum insulation layer, eliminating its exposure to the external environment. This allows the lid to be placed properly without interference from protruding tubes, while simultaneously preventing secondary contamination by keeping the tube hidden and protected.
3Reliability
If the water supply tube is concealed inside the vacuum layer, then contamination risk is reduced and lid placement is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The water supply tube is merged with the vacuum insulation structure by positioning it within the existing vacuum layer space. This merging approach utilizes the already-present vacuum space for dual purposes: maintaining insulation and housing the water supply tube, thereby minimizing additional structural complexity while achieving contamination prevention.
