Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional booster mechanisms for liquid containers experience high friction during the injection process, leading to potential injection failures or incomplete injections due to the expansion and deformation of movable assemblies, which affects their smooth operation.

Innovation Solution

A booster mechanism for liquid containers is designed with a movable assembly that undergoes axial movement within a strike space, featuring a booster assembly with a deformation trigger assembly and a deformation space, allowing for a deformation gap that reduces friction by enabling convex deformation and maintaining airtightness, ensuring smooth injection.

1Force

If a conventional structure is used for striking, then the movable assembly can be driven forward, but the tail end and outer side expand and deform obviously, increasing friction force between the movable assembly and external contact surface

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the rigid, non-deformable conventional structure into a dynamic system where the movable assembly's tail end is designed to undergo controlled convex deformation during the striking process. This dynamic adaptation allows the structure to change its shape in response to the striking force, reducing the contact area and friction with the external surface, thereby enabling smooth progression while maintaining driving force.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the physical state and geometric parameters of the movable assembly's tail end. Specifically, it transitions from a rigid structure to one that exhibits controlled elastic deformation, changing its shape parameters during operation. This allows the structure to adapt its form factor during striking, reducing frictional resistance and ensuring reliable completion of the injection process.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the deformation trigger assembly and deformation space directly into the movable assembly's tail end structure. Rather than adding separate, independent components, the design combines the deformation mechanism with the existing structural elements, allowing the tail end to inherently perform both structural support and controlled deformation functions, thereby reducing overall system complexity.
