Ceramic Separation Membrane Packaging with Staggered Partition Packs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging methods for ceramic separation membranes, such as rolling and using bubble wrap, are inefficient and prone to damage during storage and transportation, especially when dealing with cylindrical membranes.
Innovation Solution
A packaging box design featuring partition packs A and B stacked in a staggered manner with storing parts arranged in a staggered pattern to prevent contact between adjacent membranes, using corrugated fiberboard or foam-molded articles to securely hold cylindrical ceramic separation membranes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If ceramic separation membranes are rolled and packed in inner boxes, then they can be transported, but it takes effort and requires accurate management of the number of rolls
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging system is segmented into multiple partition packs (A and B types) with specific configurations. Each partition pack is designed with predetermined numbers of storing parts, allowing independent handling and counting. This segmentation eliminates the need to manage individual rolls while maintaining organized storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the packaging unit from individual rolled membranes to standardized partition packs with fixed configurations. Partition pack A contains a specific number of storing parts arranged in a certain pattern, and partition pack B has a different arrangement. This parameter standardization simplifies management and reduces operational complexity.
2Reliability
If ceramic separation membranes are rolled, then they can be packed, but the membranes may come into contact with the outside or each other and be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
Each ceramic separation membrane is placed in its own storing part within the partition pack, physically separating it from other membranes and the external environment. The partition walls prevent contact between adjacent membranes, while the lid protects the entire contents from external damage during storage and transportation.
Solution Approach 2:
The partition walls and lid act as intermediary protective structures between the ceramic separation membranes and the external environment. These intermediaries prevent direct contact and potential damage while allowing the membranes to be easily accessed and retrieved when needed.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple inner boxes are put together in an outer box, then more membranes can be stored, but the structure becomes more complex and prone to damage
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple partition packs are nested within a single outer box, with partition packs of different types (A and B) arranged in alternating layers. This nesting approach allows efficient use of space to store multiple membranes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure compared to using multiple separate inner boxes.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes vertical stacking of partition packs in the height direction to increase storage capacity. By arranging partition packs in alternating layers (A, B, A, B...) from bottom to top, the system efficiently uses three-dimensional space without requiring multiple separate outer boxes, thus reducing structural complexity.
