Solution Overview

Problem

Existing excrement collection apparatuses for nursing machines face challenges in conveniently combining the wrapping pant member and working head, leading to a suboptimal user experience due to difficulties in accurate alignment and secure attachment, which affects the efficiency and comfort of excrement collection.

Innovation Solution

The excrement collection apparatus features a detachably connected wrapping pant member with a connecting bracket that forms part of the excretion port, allowing for secure attachment to the working head, which includes a locking mechanism to ensure a reliable and comfortable excretion process, enhancing user experience by facilitating easy and accurate alignment and secure attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the wrapping pant member and working head are detachably connected, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of connection is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of combinationVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting bracket is divided into multiple components: a first connecting component on the wrapping pant member and a second connecting component on the working head. This segmentation allows for easy detachment and attachment while maintaining secure connection when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first and second connecting components are designed to merge together through complementary structures (protrusions and recesses, locking mechanisms) that provide both ease of assembly and reliable connection, resolving the contradiction between detachability and connection security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If the connecting bracket is enclosed to form the excretion port, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the device complexity is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting bracket serves dual functions: it connects the wrapping pant member to the working head and simultaneously forms the excretion port structure. This merging of functions reduces overall device complexity while achieving precise alignment through the connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting bracket is designed as a multi-functional component that provides both mechanical connection and structural formation of the excretion port, eliminating the need for separate components and simplifying the overall device structure.

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