Auto-lock Sealing Valve Structure for Rubber Jointing Ring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Rubber jointing rings in container products face issues such as incomplete sealing, water leakage, difficulty in cleaning due to liquid sticking, and sticking of the lid to the body at elevated temperatures, leading to challenges in opening and closing.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates an auto-lock valve system with concave grooves on the lid and a rubber jointing ring with multiple sealing layers and a raised edge to ensure complete air escape, prevent liquid leakage, and maintain tightness, featuring a ceramic container with a hopper-shaped top and cylindrical neck for easy assembly and hygiene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rubber jointing ring is used to seal the lid to the container body, then water-proof and dust-proof properties are improved, but the lid sticks tightly to the body after cooling, making it difficult to open
Solution Approach 1:
The rubber jointing ring is divided into multiple functional layers: a first layer with air escape holes for venting, and a second layer without holes for sealing. This segmentation allows the ring to perform both sealing and air escape functions simultaneously, preventing the lid from sticking while maintaining water-proof and dust-proof properties.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the rubber jointing ring have different properties: the first layer has air escape holes for air permeability, while the second layer is solid for water-proof and dust-proof sealing. This local differentiation allows the same component to provide both air escape and sealing functions in different locations.
2Reliability
If the container is closed tightly to prevent liquid leakage, then sealing property is improved, but inside air cannot escape, causing the lid to lift while closed
Solution Approach 1:
The rubber jointing ring is segmented into a first layer with air escape holes and a second layer without holes. This allows air to escape through the first layer while the second layer maintains the seal, preventing lid lifting while preserving sealing integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The air escape holes in the first layer act as intermediaries that allow trapped air to escape from the container interior to the exterior, preventing pressure buildup that would cause the lid to lift, while the second layer continues to provide the sealing barrier.
3Ease of operation
If the rubber jointing ring is made thin to allow easy assembly, then ease of operation is improved, but sealing effectiveness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The jointing ring is segmented into two layers: a thinner first layer with air escape holes that facilitates assembly and air venting, and a second layer optimized for sealing. This segmentation allows each layer to be optimized for its specific function while working together as a complete sealing system.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The auto-lock valve system ensures complete sealing, prevents liquid leakage, and facilitates easy opening and closing while maintaining hygiene and safety, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional rubber jointing rings.
Implementation Method 1
The rubber jointing ring has 4 sealing layers... The top layer is immediately on the downside of the lid, and it fills the gap between the lid and the opening of the liquid container to increase its tightness and seals.
Implementation Method 2
The lid is designed with the body part of the lid having 02 concave grooves that are opposite each other to help fit the rubber jointing ring and the lid more easily because the inside air of the jointing ring will escape through 02 concave points mentioned above.
Implementation Method 3
The sole part of the lid has a raised edge to help keep the jointing ring part firmly attached to the lid (avoiding the state that the jointing ring is released from the lid when opening and closing the lid).
Implementation Method 4
The whole liquid container is made of ceramics to ensure the hygiene and the safety of the container, do not create toxic substances because of the direct contact with the liquid at the elevated temperature during the storage progress
Implementation Method 5
The 2nd and 3rd layers, which are designed in the cauldron shape with gaps that are eccentric each other, are above the first layer so that the air inside the container escapes ultimately

AI summary
An auto-lock sealing valve structure of a rubber jointing ring using the lid attached to the rubber jointing ring includes a lid, a rubber jointing ring, and a bottle body. The rubber jointing ring connects the lid and the bottle body. The designation of the vapor escaping groove in the lid body helps the air inside the rubber jointing ring escape out, simultaneously the raised edge on the bottle lid prevents the rubber jointing ring part from coming out off. The gaps on the body part of the rubber jointing rings help the air inside the bottle body to entirely escape but still ensure that the liquid inside the devices cannot escape.
