Double-Chamber Vessel with Nested Walls for Aesthetic Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing double-chamber vessels for flowable substances have a bulky appearance due to clearly separate and isolated chambers, which is not aesthetically pleasing and limits design flexibility in volume ratios, making them unsuitable for attractive product presentation.
Innovation Solution
A double-chamber vessel design where the first inner chamber is surrounded by a second outer chamber, with the outer wall forming the lateral wall and allowing planar sections where the inner and outer walls connect directly, creating a unified, transparent, or opaque appearance, allowing for adjustable volume ratios and mix ratios of flowable substances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If chambers are clearly separate and isolated by a separating wall, then storage separation is achieved, but the vessel appears bulky and clumsy
Solution Approach 1:
The inner chamber is nested within the outer chamber, with the inner chamber's outer wall forming part of the outer chamber's internal structure. This nesting eliminates the need for a separate dividing wall and creates a unified appearance while maintaining functional separation of substances.
2Reliability
If chambers are clearly separate and isolated by a separating wall, then storage separation is achieved, but design flexibility of volume ratios is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The design allows dynamic adjustment of the inner chamber's position and the volume of the annular space between chambers. This enables flexible volume ratios to be achieved while maintaining the separation function, as the inner chamber can be positioned at different distances from the outer chamber wall.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the inner chamber is totally inside with no contact with the side wall, then structural independence is achieved, but the inner chamber does not contribute to the outer impression of the vessel
Solution Approach 1:
The outer wall of the inner chamber is merged with the inner surface of the outer chamber, forming a unified structure. This allows the inner chamber to contribute to the overall shape and visual appearance of the vessel while maintaining structural independence through the shared wall design.

AI summary
A double-chamber vessel for flowable substances having a lateral outer wall with a first chamber enclosed by a first, in particular transparent wall and a second chamber enclosed by a second transparent wall in which the first and second chambers each have an opening which openings end commonly in an opening section of the double-chamber vessel, otherwise they are completely separated from each other, wherein the first chamber is an inner chamber that is enclosed by the second chamber, which is an outer chamber, wherein in planar sections the first wall enclosing the first chamber lies directly against the second wall enclosing the second chamber, at the same time forming the lateral outer wall of the double-chamber vessel, or in the planar sections, the second wall forms the first wall and wherein both chambers have a continuous flow connection to the respective openings.
