Container-attaching system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing container fastening systems for cleaning or disinfecting agents are inadequate in terms of positionability, failing to securely and flexibly attach containers to variously oriented objects at the point of care in healthcare settings.
Innovation Solution
A container fastening system with a holder featuring multiple fastening regions (first, second, and third) allowing for adjustable attachment to horizontally, vertically, and obliquely oriented objects, using wires or rods that can be fixed in various positions, combined with a manually activatable metering pump for efficient dispensing of cleaning agents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a container fastening system uses a single fixed fastening position, then the structure is simple, but the positionability and adaptability to variously oriented objects is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is segmented into multiple fastening regions (first, second, and third fastening regions) with wires or rods arranged at different orientations. This segmentation allows the fastening means to be selectively attached to horizontally, vertically, or obliquely oriented objects, thereby improving positionability without requiring a completely different holder for each orientation.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed with multi-functional fastening regions that can accommodate various orientations of objects. The same holder structure can be used for horizontally oriented objects (first fastening region), vertically oriented objects (second fastening region), or obliquely oriented objects (third fastening region), making the device universal and adaptable to different care settings.
2Reliability
If the fastening means is made securely fixed, then the reliability of attachment is improved, but the ease of adjustment and repositioning is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening means incorporates a dynamic design that allows it to be selectively fixed to different fastening regions. The connector can be easily moved between the first, second, and third fastening regions, enabling repositioning while maintaining secure attachment at each position. This dynamic adaptability ensures both reliable fixation and operational flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the holder uses multiple fastening regions with wires or rods, then the adaptability to different orientations is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder uses homogeneous materials and similar structural elements (wires or rods) for all fastening regions. This homogeneity simplifies manufacturing processes, as the same production techniques can be applied to create all fastening regions, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the presence of multiple orientations and regions.
