Drug Mixing Container Piercing Structure for Automated Solution Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional specimen preservation containers require manual pouring of preservation solutions, leading to operator exposure and dosing inaccuracies, making them impractical for safe and efficient use.
Innovation Solution
A container with a piercing structure on its inner peripheral wall that tears a sealing film when the cover body is screwed on, allowing a controlled amount of preservation solution to flow into the container, preventing operator exposure and ensuring proper immersion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual pouring of preservation solution is used, then the specimen can be preserved in a sealed container, but operator hands are stained and health is harmed
Solution Approach 1:
The piercing structure automatically pierces the sealing film when the cover body is screwed onto the container, causing the preservation solution to flow into the container without manual intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for operator contact with the preservation solution, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and operator safety.
2Reliability
If manual pouring of preservation solution is used, then the specimen can be preserved, but the dose cannot be perfectly controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The preservation solution is pre-filled into the cover body at a controlled dose before sealing with the sealing film. The piercing structure then automatically transfers this pre-measured dose into the container when assembled, ensuring precise dosing without requiring manual measurement during the preservation process.

AI summary
A drug mixing container is provided. The drug mixing container includes a container with an opening facing upward and a cover body. An inner peripheral wall of the container includes at least one piercing structure protruding toward the opening of the container. The cover body accommodates a drug and includes a sealing film for sealing the drug in the cover body. In use, when an opening of the cover body is coupled downward to the opening of the container, the sealing film is pierced and torn by the piercing structure to make the drug in the cover body flow into the container, thereby preventing hands of an operator from being stained with the drug.
