Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional bottles with variable bottom wall thickness or rigidity suffer from inconsistent decompression absorption performance, leading to instability in decompression absorption and room for improvement in absorption capacity.

Innovation Solution

A bottle design featuring a bottom wall with a grounding part, standing peripheral wall, annular movable wall, and depression peripheral wall, where the depression peripheral wall is formed with multiple stages and angular cylindrical parts to enhance decompression absorption by reducing wall thickness and increasing orientational crystallization, allowing for improved fluidity and moldability during blow molding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the bottom wall part has variable thickness or rigidity, then the decompression absorption performance is improved, but the stability of decompression absorption performance varies at different circumferential positions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecompression absorption performanceVSAvoiduniformity of decompression absorption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom wall part is segmented into multiple functional regions: a grounding part at the outer circumferential edge, a standing peripheral wall part extending upward from the grounding part, and a depression peripheral wall part extending upward from the standing peripheral wall part. This segmentation allows each region to contribute differently to decompression absorption while maintaining overall stability through their coordinated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the bottom wall part are designed with locally optimized properties: the grounding part provides a stable base, the standing peripheral wall part provides structural support, and the depression peripheral wall part provides decompression absorption. This local quality differentiation enables stable and uniform decompression absorption across different circumferential positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the wall thickness of the depression peripheral wall part is reduced to increase decompression absorption, then the decompression absorption performance is improved, but the strength and rigidity of the bottle bottom may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecompression absorption performanceVSAvoidstrength of depression peripheral wall part
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The depression peripheral wall part is designed as a thin-walled structure that can flexibly deform during decompression. The movable wall part connects the standing peripheral wall part and the depression peripheral wall part, allowing the depression peripheral wall part to move upward when the bottle experiences decompression, thereby absorbing the decompression force without requiring thick walls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The bottom wall part is designed with dynamic characteristics: the movable wall part can pivot about the connection part with the standing peripheral wall part, allowing the depression peripheral wall part to move upward during decompression. This dynamic response enables the thin-walled structure to absorb decompression forces effectively while maintaining strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

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 stabilizes decompression absorption performance and increases the bottle's capacity for decompression absorption, ensuring consistent and efficient decompression handling while preventing strength loss and deformation.

Implementation Method 1

since the depression peripheral wall part is formed by forcing the synthetic resin material to be greatly stretched during the blow molding, a degree of orientational crystallization in the depression peripheral wall part can be increased

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectOrientational crystallization: Crystallisation

Implementation Method 2

The movable wall part is disposed to freely pivot around a connection part connected with the standing peripheral wall part so as to move the depression peripheral wall part in an upward direction

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectPivoting: Hinge
