Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Beverage bottles with single-layer labels are prone to scratching and damage during transportation and daily use, and they cannot effectively display 3D decorative effects.
Innovation Solution
A novel container design featuring a concave fitting area with a protection layer, a pattern layer between the protection and light-transmittable wrapping layers, and a bonding layer connecting the wrapping layer to the fitting area, providing protection and enabling a multi-layered decorative effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single-layer label is used on the bottle body, then the manufacturing process is simple and cost-effective, but the label is easily scratched and damaged during transportation and daily use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-layer label structure where the pattern layer is nested between the protection layer and the light-transmittable wrapping layer. This nested configuration allows each layer to protect the others, with the protection layer shielding the pattern layer from external damage while the wrapping layer provides additional protective coverage, thereby significantly improving label durability without complicating the manufacturing process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material structure by combining different functional layers: a pattern layer for decoration, a protection layer for mechanical strength and scratch resistance, and a light-transmittable wrapping layer for additional protection and aesthetic effect. This composite approach maintains manufacturing simplicity while dramatically improving label reliability and durability
2Ease of manufacture
If a single-layer label is used on the bottle body, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the label can only generate a 2D decoration effect and cannot create 3D decoration effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from 2D to 3D decoration by introducing multiple layers with different optical properties. The light-transmittable wrapping layer allows light to pass through and interact with the pattern layer, creating depth perception and 3D visual effects. The layered structure adds dimensional complexity to the decoration while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through conventional lamination processes
3Reliability
If a multi-layer structure with protection layer, pattern layer, and wrapping layer is used, then the pattern layer is effectively protected from wear, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the label into distinct functional layers: pattern layer for decoration, protection layer for mechanical protection, and light-transmittable wrapping layer for additional protection and aesthetic effects. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function independently, providing effective pattern layer protection while managing complexity through clear functional division and standardized manufacturing processes

AI summary
The present application discloses a novel container, which comprises: a bottle body that has a fitting area in concave shape arranged on the outer surface; a protection layer arranged on the fitting area; a pattern layer arranged on a side surface of the protection layer away from the fitting area; a light-transmittable wrapping layer arranged on the pattern layer; a bonding layer is arranged on a side edge of the light-transmittable wrapping layer, the light-transmittable wrapping layer connects with the side edge of the fitting area through the bonding layer. By arranging the fitting area on the bottle body, the protection layer in the fitting area, the pattern layer on the side surface of the protection layer away from fitting area, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer on the pattern layer, the pattern layer is protected effectively.
