Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional bottle decoration methods result in artwork being easily worn or peeled off during daily use or cleaning, leading to a short decoration life.

Innovation Solution

A bottle manufacturing method involving the creation of a protection layer with printed artwork, laminated between a transparent layer, which is then arranged on the bottle body, using adhesive layers to secure the artwork between the protection and transparent layers, enhancing durability and appearance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If artwork is printed directly on the bottle body, then the decoration process is simple, but the artwork is easily worn or peeled off during use or cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoration process simplicityVSAvoidartwork durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite material structure by combining multiple layers (protection layer, transparent layer, and artwork layer) to create a durable decoration system. The protection layer and transparent layer are laminated together with the artwork sandwiched between them, forming a composite structure that prevents the artwork from peeling off while maintaining manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The decoration system is segmented into distinct functional layers: a protection layer for durability, a transparent layer for aesthetics, and an artwork layer for decoration. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function while being manufactured and applied separately, then laminated together to achieve both simplicity and durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If artwork is printed on the bottle surface, then the decoration quality can be maintained, but the artwork peels off during cleaning processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoration qualityVSAvoidartwork adhesion stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By creating a composite laminated structure with protection layer, artwork layer, and transparent layer, the patent maintains high decoration quality while significantly improving adhesion stability. The artwork is sandwiched between the layers, preventing peeling during cleaning while preserving the visual quality through the transparent layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses thin film structures for the protection layer and transparent layer that conform to the bottle surface while providing durable coverage. These flexible thin films are laminated together to create a stable, peel-resistant decoration system that maintains manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Reliability

If a protective layer is added over the artwork, then the artwork durability is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveartwork durabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite material lamination that, while adding layers, streamlines the manufacturing process through integrated production. The protection layer, artwork layer, and transparent layer are manufactured and laminated together as a unified composite structure, reducing the need for separate complex assembly steps and achieving both durability and manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

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 method effectively prevents artwork peeling and maintains high decoration quality by sandwiching the artwork between protective layers, ensuring it remains intact during use and cleaning.

Implementation Method 1

arranging a first adhesive layer adapting to the artwork on the surface of the protection layer

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

Implementation Method 2

Adhering the transparent layer to a surface of the protection layer having the artwork arranged through a second adhesive layer

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

AI summary

The present application discloses a bottle manufacturing method and a bottle, which comprises steps of: manufacturing a protection layer; printing an artwork on a surface of the protection layer; manufacturing a transparent layer; laminating the protection layer and the transparent layer having the artwork printed; arranging the protection layer and the transparent layer on a bottle body to make the artwork locate between the protection layer and the transparent layer. By printing the artwork between the protection layer and the transparent layer, the present application provides the artwork a good protection to prevent the artwork from worn, and makes the product a relatively high decoration quality.
