Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Beverage bottles for carbonators are often not durable, with loosely attached parts that can fall apart, making them difficult to handle and not environmentally friendly, and existing solutions are not suitable for use with different materials or high internal pressures.
Innovation Solution
A beverage bottle design featuring a connector part that securely fixes a metal stand part to a plastic container part using threaded means, allowing for chemical and mechanical connections, and elastic deformation to ensure a tight and secure assembly that can withstand high pressures and temperature changes, while allowing for easy disassembly and recycling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If separate parts are used in beverage bottles to allow disassembly for cleaning and recycling, then ease of manufacture and environmental friendliness are improved, but the parts become loosely attached and the bottle durability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The beverage bottle is divided into separate parts (container part, stand part, connector part) that can be disassembled for cleaning and recycling. The connector part serves as an intermediary component that enables secure mechanical connection between the container part and stand part through threaded interfaces, resolving the contradiction between separability and durability.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector part acts as an intermediary element between the container part and stand part. It provides threaded connection surfaces on both sides, enabling secure mechanical fastening while maintaining the benefit of separate parts. This intermediary component ensures tight and secure attachment, preventing the loosening issue that would otherwise occur with directly connected separate parts.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different materials are used for stand part and container part to optimize performance, then adaptability is improved, but the connection between parts becomes unreliable
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle system is segmented into distinct components (container part, connector part, stand part) that can be manufactured from different materials optimized for their specific functions. The connector part serves as a transition element that provides reliable mechanical connection between dissimilar materials through standardized threaded interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector part functions as an intermediary component that facilitates reliable connection between different materials. By providing threaded connection surfaces on both ends, it enables secure attachment between the container part (e.g., plastic) and stand part (e.g., metal), overcoming the challenges of directly connecting dissimilar materials.
3Reliability
If integral bottle design is used to ensure durability, then reliability is improved, but disassembly for cleaning and recycling becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The beverage bottle is designed with separable components (container part, connector part, stand part) connected through threaded interfaces. This segmentation allows the bottle to be disassembled for cleaning and recycling while maintaining durability through secure mechanical connections. The threaded interfaces provide both strength and ease of assembly/disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system transitions from a fixed integral design to a dynamic separable design. The threaded interfaces enable the bottle to be easily assembled and disassembled multiple times without compromising structural integrity, providing both durability and operational flexibility.
4Reliability
If threaded connection is used to secure parts, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into standardized threaded interfaces on the connector part and corresponding threads on the container part and stand part. This segmentation allows for reliable connections while keeping each component relatively simple in design. The threaded interfaces provide robust connection without requiring complex fastening mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector part serves multiple functions: it connects the container part and stand part, provides threaded interfaces for secure attachment, and enables easy assembly and disassembly. By consolidating these functions into a single component with standardized threads, the overall device complexity is minimized while maintaining high connection reliability.
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 design results in a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly beverage bottle that can withstand high internal pressures and temperature changes, with securely attached parts that can be easily disassembled for cleaning and recycling, suitable for use with carbonators.
Implementation Method 1
At least one of the thread surfaces may be inclined such that mutual rotation of the first and second cooperating thread surfaces results in a mutual axial movement, tightly and securely fixing the stand part and the connector part together
Implementation Method 2
The stand part, or at least the elastically deformable portion thereof, may bias the stand part and the connector part against each other when the thread means have tightened the stand part and the connector part together
