Solution Overview

Problem

Convex stoma chassis designs on the market face issues with excrement leakage and hot melt adhesive erosion, leading to reduced service life and increased nursing workload.

Innovation Solution

A convex stoma chassis with a welding ring positioned between the plastic part and the backing, combined with a rubber disc, hydrocolloid skin barrier, and APET release film, effectively isolates excrement from the hot melt adhesive, enhancing stability and service life.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a hot melt adhesive is used to connect the plastic part and the backing, then the manufacturing process is simple and fast, but the adhesive erodes when contacted with excrement, reducing service life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The chassis is divided into three main parts: the plastic part, the backing, and the welding ring. The welding ring acts as a separate protective component that isolates the adhesive from excrement, allowing each part to have optimized properties without compromising the whole system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The welding ring serves as an intermediary component between the plastic part and the backing. It provides a protective barrier that prevents excrement from reaching the hot melt adhesive, while still allowing the adhesive to perform its bonding function effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the convex chassis fits closely with the skin to reduce leakage risk, then the reliability improves, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveleakage preventionVSAvoidchassis structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The chassis features a convex shape with a predetermined height that protrudes from the skin surface. This curved geometry allows the chassis to fit closely around the stoma, creating a reliable seal that prevents leakage while managing excrement flow away from sensitive areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The convex portion of the chassis has specific local properties - it protrudes at a predetermined height from the skin and is positioned to fit closely around the stoma. This localized structural feature provides enhanced leakage prevention exactly where needed without requiring the entire chassis to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Duration of action of stationary object

If the welding ring is added to prevent adhesive erosion, then the service life improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidchassis component count
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The protective function is separated into a distinct welding ring component rather than being integrated into the plastic part or backing. This segmentation allows the welding ring to be optimized specifically for protection while keeping the other components simpler.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The welding ring serves multiple functions: it structurally connects the plastic part and backing, provides a barrier against excrement, and protects the adhesive from erosion. By consolidating these functions into a single component, the overall complexity increase is minimized while achieving multiple benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
