Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the liquid guiding member uses capillary structure to seal and block liquid, then the device structure is simple, but the sealing reliability is poor causing liquid leakage during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid guiding member is divided into a capillary component and a separate sealing component, with the sealing component featuring a sealing surface that directly contacts the liquid outlet. This segmentation allows the capillary structure to focus on liquid guidance while the dedicated sealing component provides reliable sealing, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and sealing reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
A sealing component is introduced as an intermediary element between the capillary structure and the liquid storage chamber. This sealing component with its sealing surface acts as a mediator that enhances the sealing effect without complicating the overall device structure, as it can be integrated into the existing liquid guiding member design.
2Device complexity
If the liquid guiding member is used to seal and block liquid before use, then the device structure is simple, but liquid leakage occurs during transportation affecting user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing component is pre-configured with a sealing surface designed to contact the liquid outlet and form a reliable seal before the device is put into use. This preliminary sealing action prevents liquid leakage during transportation and storage, eliminating the harmful effect while maintaining simple device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The design converts the potential harm of liquid leakage into a benefit by using the sealing component's sealing surface to create a controlled sealing interface. The sealing surface, which might seem like an added complexity, actually converts the leakage problem into a reliable sealing solution that improves user experience.
3Reliability
If a movable sealing member is added to seal or unseal the liquid inlet, then liquid leakage is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing component is merged with the liquid guiding member to form an integrated structure. The sealing surface is incorporated into the liquid guiding member's design, combining the sealing function with the existing liquid guidance function. This merging reduces device complexity while maintaining reliable liquid sealing.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid guiding member is designed to serve multiple functions: guiding liquid flow, providing sealing through the sealing surface, and potentially blocking liquid when not in use. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate sealing mechanisms, reducing overall device complexity while ensuring reliable liquid sealing.
