Solution Overview

Problem

Conical projections on conical-projections sheets are easily damaged during packaging and transportation, and existing methods lack effective protection measures.

Innovation Solution

A method of manufacturing a conical-projections-sheet packaging body involves forming conical projections on a substrate within recessed parts of a forming sheet, which also serves as protection, and using a package member to securely adhere and position the sheets, allowing for easy peeling while maintaining protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conical projections are formed on a conical-projections sheet, then the sheet can be used for drug administration or other functions, but the conical projections are easily damaged during packaging and transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegrity of conical projectionsVSAvoiddamage to conical projections
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The conical-projections forming sheet is used as a protective layer that is already in place before packaging occurs. The sheet's structure with recessed parts cradles the conical projections, providing cushioning and protection against damage during transportation and handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The conical projections are nested within the recessed parts of the conical-projections forming sheet. This nesting structure allows the fragile projections to be housed within the more robust sheet structure, protecting them while maintaining their functional form.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the conical-projections sheet is packaged tightly to protect the projections, then protection is improved, but the sheet becomes difficult to peel off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of conical projectionsVSAvoidpeeling-off ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging system is segmented into distinct layers: the conical-projections sheet, the conical-projections forming sheet, and the package member. This segmentation allows each layer to serve its specific function - protection during transit while enabling easy separation and peeling when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging structure is designed to be dynamic rather than permanently fixed. The adhesive bonding allows the sheets to be held together securely during transportation but can be easily separated when peeling is required, providing both protection and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If multiple conical-projections sheets are packaged together, then productivity is improved, but the complexity of ensuring each projection remains intact increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple conical-projections sheets are merged into a single packaging unit by bonding them together with the conical-projections forming sheet in between. This combining approach allows multiple sheets to be packaged simultaneously while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that ensures each projection remains intact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
