Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional liquid material packaging systems have low volume efficiency, difficulty in opening for children or elderly, and inefficient use of space during transportation and display due to cylindrical designs and gable top paper packs.

Innovation Solution

A composite pack with a bag-shaped interior member and a cylindrical exterior member featuring a sealing structure unit with vertical ribs that can be easily opened and closed, allowing for increased volume efficiency and space-saving capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a cylindrical exterior member with a plate-like top portion is used to house the interior member, then the exterior member can be easily manufactured, but the volume efficiency for liquid material becomes low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidvolume efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the top portion from a plate-like structure to a cylindrical structure that extends in the vertical dimension. This allows the interior member to be filled to the top of the exterior member, maximizing the volume efficiency while maintaining the ease of manufacture of the cylindrical exterior member.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If the top portion is made plate-like to simplify the structure, then the structure becomes simpler, but the housing volume for liquid material is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural complexityVSAvoidhousing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The top portion is extended in the vertical dimension to form a cylindrical structure instead of a plate-like structure. This increases the housing volume for the interior member while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Stability of the object's composition

If a gable top paper pack is used to provide self-supportability, then self-supportability is achieved, but the pack cannot be built up by overlapping and wasted space is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveself-supportabilityVSAvoidwasted space
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The exterior member uses a cylindrical shape with a curved surface instead of a gable top structure. This allows multiple packs to be stacked and built up efficiently by overlapping, eliminating the wasted space generated by gable top designs while maintaining self-supportability through the cylindrical form.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

4Reliability

If the sealing strength is increased to prevent liquid leakage, then liquid leakage is prevented, but children or old men cannot open the pack by hand force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid leakage preventionVSAvoidease of opening
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing structure is divided into multiple segments including a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion. This segmentation allows the sealing function to be distributed across multiple elements, enabling reliable sealing while providing different opening mechanisms for different user groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the sealing structure have different properties: the first sealing portion provides strong sealing to prevent leakage, while the second sealing portion is designed to be easily opened by children or elderly people through a simple operation such as pulling a tab or breaking a weak point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
