Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual trepanning is used for filling and exhaust ports, then flexibility in port placement is achieved, but positioning accuracy and production efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveport placement flexibilityVSAvoidport positioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The valve core is pre-formed with precisely positioned filling and exhaust ports before assembly. This preliminary precision manufacturing of the valve core eliminates the need for manual trepanning during final assembly, ensuring consistent port positioning accuracy while maintaining the flexibility to place ports at optimal locations in the bottle structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If non-circular symmetrical valve core structure is used, then liquid filling and exhaust functions are achieved, but installation complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid filling and exhaust functionVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The valve core employs an asymmetric non-circular structure with specifically shaped filling and exhaust ports that optimize liquid flow characteristics. This asymmetric design enables effective liquid filling and exhaust functions while the pre-formed nature of the asymmetric structure simplifies installation by eliminating the need for complex on-site modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Reliability

If traditional valve seat and valve core design is used, then basic sealing function is achieved, but design precision and product rate deteriorate due to injection molding shrinkage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing functionVSAvoiddesign precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The valve seat and valve core designs incorporate optimized geometric parameters and dimensional tolerances that compensate for injection molding shrinkage. By carefully selecting and adjusting design parameters such as wall thickness, cooling rates, and mold shrinkage factors, the invention achieves high manufacturing precision and consistent sealing performance despite the inherent variability of injection molding processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Ease of operation

If loose structure design is used, then assembly ease is improved, but liquid containing space and aesthetic appearance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidliquid containing space
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs a nested structure where the valve core is inserted into the valve seat, and the valve assembly is integrated within the bottle body. This nested arrangement maintains ease of assembly through simple insertion while maximizing the use of internal space, thereby increasing the effective liquid containing volume and improving aesthetic appearance by eliminating loose, space-wasting structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

5Reliability

If O-shaped sealing ring is used, then sealing function is achieved, but extrusion deformation during installation reduces sealing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing functionVSAvoidsealing ring integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention utilizes a flexible sealing ring that can deform elastically during installation to accommodate slight dimensional variations and then maintains reliable sealing through its elastic recovery. The sealing ring's flexible membrane structure allows it to conform to the mating surfaces while resisting extrusion deformation, ensuring consistent sealing performance without compromising integrity during the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
