Solution Overview

Problem

Existing capsule packing containers either have a single opening method, limiting versatility, or require tearing off a sealing film, which can lead to material spillage and reduced quality due to exposure to the environment.

Innovation Solution

A double outlet capsule packing container design featuring a partitioned housing body with a screwing structure that allows for both top and bottom opening, integrated with a bottle, using sealing films and anti-leak areas to prevent dust and leakage, enabling easy pouring and maintaining material quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a capsule is separated from the bottle and can be individually carried, then portability is improved, but the opening method is limited to top-to-bottom only

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening methodVSAvoidcapsule structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capsule housing body is segmented into a connection portion and a storage portion by a partition portion, enabling dual opening methods: top-to-bottom by tearing the first sealing film, and bottom-to-top by screwing onto a bottle that applies pressure to break the partition. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing multiple opening pathways without significantly increasing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The capsule is designed with multi-functionality to accommodate different opening scenarios: it can be opened individually by tearing the sealing film, or integrated with a bottle by screwing the connection portion onto the bottle mouth to apply pressure and break the partition. This universality allows the same capsule structure to serve multiple opening purposes, resolving the limitation of single opening method.

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

2Ease of operation

If the capsule is integrated with the bottle, then the opening process is simplified, but the capsule can only be suitable for one single kind of bottle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening processVSAvoidbottle compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The connection portion is designed with a universal screwing structure that can be adapted to different bottle types. The standardized threading allows the capsule to be screwed onto various bottle mouths, enabling broad compatibility while maintaining the simplified opening process of screwing and pressing.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The connection portion features localized screwing structures with specific threading characteristics that can be manufactured to match different bottle types. By varying the local threading parameters in different production batches, the same capsule design can adapt to different bottle specifications, resolving the contradiction between simplified operation and bottle compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If the sealing film is torn off to open the capsule, then the material can be accessed, but the material is easy to spill influenced by pouring angle or environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial accessVSAvoidmaterial containment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The partition portion acts as an intermediary mechanism between the sealing film and the material. Instead of directly tearing the sealing film and risking spillage, the user screws the connection portion onto the bottle, and the bottle mouth applies pressure through the partition to break the seal and release material in a controlled manner, reducing spillage risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The capsule is pre-designed with a partition portion that can be broken by pressure from the bottle mouth. This preliminary structural arrangement ensures that when the capsule is screwed onto the bottle, the partition breaks in a controlled way to release material directly into the bottle, preventing spillage during the opening process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Strength

If the partition portion is integrated with the housing body, then structural integrity is improved, but the partition cannot be separated without external force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidpartition separation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The partition portion is designed with controlled weakness parameters - it is integrated with the housing body to maintain structural integrity during normal handling, but has specific geometric features (such as reduced thickness or notches) that allow it to break easily when sufficient pressure is applied from the bottle mouth, enabling separation when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
