Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for manufacturing double containers with multi-layer structures face challenges such as weak sealing parts due to direct blow molding, difficulty in separating different material components, and issues with pulling out inner bags due to insufficient rigidity and deformation of the mouth part.

Innovation Solution

The method involves forming a preform with a direct blow molded body that includes a protruding sealing part with an extension prevention structure, and a mouth part with an engaging mechanism for easy extraction, along with specific ratios and shapes to enhance rigidity and facilitate separation and discharge of contents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If direct blow molding is used to form preforms with multi-layer structure, then it becomes easy to manufacture preforms with multi-layer structure, but the sealing part becomes weak and may tear during biaxial stretch blow molding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufacturing multi-layer preformVSAvoidstrength of sealing part
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing an extension prevention structure specifically at the sealing part of the direct blow molded body, while other parts maintain normal thickness. This localized reinforcement strengthens the sealing part without affecting the overall multi-layer structure manufacturing ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The extension prevention structure is formed during the direct blow molding process itself, before the biaxial stretch blow molding occurs. This preliminary reinforcement prevents the sealing part from tearing during subsequent stretching operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of substance

If the inner bag is made with thin wall thickness to reduce material usage, then material consumption decreases, but the mouth part rigidity becomes insufficient making it difficult to pull out the inner bag

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial consumptionVSAvoidrigidity of mouth part
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent provides an extension prevention structure specifically at the sealing part and mouth part areas where reinforcement is needed, while other parts of the inner bag maintain thin wall thickness. This localized reinforcement approach maintains overall material efficiency while ensuring sufficient rigidity at critical areas for easy pull-out.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the outer shell and inner bag are made of different materials to enable recycling separation, then recyclability improves, but the manufacturing process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverecyclabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the container into two separate components (outer shell and inner bag) that can be made from different materials. The inner bag is formed by direct blow molding and then placed within the outer shell through biaxial stretch blow molding, creating a separable double container structure that facilitates recycling while maintaining a relatively streamlined manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
