Cosmetic Receptacle Spring Link Damping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cosmetic product sticks, such as lipstick, are prone to damage during mounting and use due to sudden movements, leading to deformation or breakage.
Innovation Solution
A receptacle with a spring connection between the cup and the cup support that absorbs forces and movements, providing a damping function to protect the cosmetic product.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the cup is rigidly connected to the cup support, then the structural strength is improved, but the cosmetic stick is damaged due to sudden movements and forces
Solution Approach 1:
A spring element is introduced as an intermediary component between the cup and cup support. This spring acts as a mediator that transmits forces while providing elastic deformation, thereby protecting the cosmetic stick from sudden impacts while maintaining structural connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring element is pre-installed between the cup and cup support to provide cushioning before any impact occurs. This beforehand cushioning mechanism is designed to absorb sudden forces and shocks that may occur during normal use, preventing damage to the cosmetic stick.
2Force
If the cup is rigidly connected to the cup support, then the force transmission is improved, but the assembly process damages the cosmetic stick due to sudden movements
Solution Approach 1:
The spring serves as a force-transmitting intermediary that gradually transfers forces during assembly rather than transmitting sudden impact forces. This allows the cosmetic stick to be safely inserted and assembled without experiencing damaging shock loads.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring element changes the force transmission parameter from rigid (instantaneous) to elastic (gradual). This parameter change allows force transmission to occur over a longer time period and through controlled deformation, preventing damage during assembly.
3Reliability
If a spring connection is introduced between the cup and cup support, then the damping effect is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spring element can be implemented as a flexible component that integrates into the existing cup and cup support structure. This flexible element provides the necessary damping while maintaining a relatively simple overall device design, avoiding excessive complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The spring connection facilitates assembly and absorption of tremors and sudden movements, reducing the risk of damage to the cosmetic product during use and storage.
Implementation Method 1
the spring connection absorbs any tremors or sudden movements during makeup application by the user, as the spring deforms when force is applied to the cosmetic product
Implementation Method 2
The spring connection between the cup and the cup holder provides a damping effect between these two elements
