Quick-Open Container With Elastic Sealing Sleeve Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing container sealing mechanisms, such as threaded and clipping structures, are inefficient for quick opening and closing due to thread damage, complex operation, and the need for manual manipulation of multiple clips.
Innovation Solution
A container design featuring a container body and cover with a sealing structure that includes an elastic sealing sleeve, a rotating pin, and a gland, allowing for easy opening and closing by rotating the gland to move the base and elastic sleeve, forming a sealing ring between the container body and cover.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a threaded structure is used for sealing the container, then the connecting and sealing effect is maintained, but the thread may be easily damaged after long use and the container cannot be opened and closed quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional threaded mechanical connection system with a snap-fit system comprising a container body with an opening and a container cover with a protrusion that fits into the opening. The sealing is achieved through a sealing ring that engages with the container body when the cover is pressed into place, eliminating the need for threading operations while maintaining reliable sealing.
2Reliability
If a clipping structure is used for sealing the container, then the container can be sealed, but multiple clips are required and manual operation of each clip is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate clipping functions into a single integrated container cover assembly. The cover includes a unified structure with a sealing ring and engagement features that simultaneously provide both sealing and securing functions, eliminating the need for multiple separate clips and simplifying the operation to a single pressing motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The container cover is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously provides sealing (through the sealing ring), securing (through the protrusion fitting into the opening), and structural support. This universal design eliminates the need for separate specialized components for each function.
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
Enables quick and efficient opening and closing with a good sealing effect, simplified installation and removal, and convenient use without opening the cover, while allowing for easy cleaning and assembly.
Implementation Method 1
An elastic sealing sleeve capable of being bent and deformed is arranged between the base and the container cover. The elastic sealing sleeve is pressed when the base moves upwards, such that the elastic sealing sleeve expands in a radial direction and is bent outwards to form a sealing ring
