Bottle Unit Mixing Liquid and Air for Tire Repair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional puncture repair kits require a large amount of puncture repair liquid and take a long time to operate, as they inject the liquid followed by compressed air, making the process inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A bottle unit with a bottle container, supply pipe, and discharge pipe that mixes and discharges puncture repair liquid and compressed air simultaneously, featuring a first opening inside the container and a second opening at a different height, allowing for efficient and concentrated application of the mixture to the tire.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If puncture repair liquid is injected first and then compressed air is injected, then the punctured part can be closed, but a large amount of puncture repair liquid is needed and the operation time is long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the injection of puncture repair liquid and compressed air into a single simultaneous operation through a unified discharge pipe system. The discharge pipe has multiple openings at different heights that allow both liquid and gas to be discharged together, merging two sequential operations into one concurrent operation, thereby reducing total operation time while maintaining repair effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The bottle container is pre-filled with puncture repair liquid before use, and the discharge pipe is pre-configured with multiple openings at specific heights. This preliminary preparation allows the system to immediately discharge both liquid and compressed air simultaneously when activated, eliminating the need for sequential filling operations and reducing operation time
2Reliability
If puncture repair liquid is injected first and then compressed air is injected, then the punctured part can be closed, but a large amount of puncture repair liquid is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the discharge of puncture repair liquid and compressed air through a unified discharge pipe with multiple openings. This combination allows compressed air to carry and distribute the liquid more efficiently, reducing the total quantity of liquid needed while maintaining effective puncture sealing
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes pneumatic principles by injecting compressed air through the discharge pipe to propel and distribute the puncture repair liquid. This pneumatic assistance improves the delivery efficiency of the liquid, allowing smaller amounts to be effectively distributed and applied to the punctured area
3Device complexity
If puncture repair liquid and compressed air are injected sequentially, then the process is simple, but the repair time is long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the injection processes for both puncture repair liquid and compressed air into a single integrated system. The discharge pipe receives both substances and discharges them simultaneously through multiple openings, combining two separate injection processes into one unified operation that reduces repair time without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The discharge pipe serves multiple functions: it receives puncture repair liquid from one inlet, receives compressed air from another inlet, and discharges both substances simultaneously through multiple openings at different heights. This multi-functionality allows a single component to handle both injection tasks concurrently, reducing overall system complexity while achieving simultaneous discharge
