Solution Overview

Problem

Existing external inflating valves for motor vehicles suffer from chronic tire pressure leakage due to inadequate sealing, and their single-function design makes them inconvenient for inflation and deflation, with poor reliability and complex processing technology.

Innovation Solution

A multifunctional external inflating valve with a side surface connecting part, a sealing ring accommodation groove, and a core sealing ring to achieve effective sealing, combined with a mounting method that disassembles the original tire inflating valve core and connects the external valve using threaded connections, ensuring proper sealing and functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the external inflating valve is directly connected to the original tire inflating valve using a push rod structure, then the tire air source can be introduced into the loading part, but the main sealing function of the cone of the original tire inflating valve core cavity is abandoned, causing chronic tire pressure leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinflation operationVSAvoidsealing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing system is segmented into multiple independent sealing elements: the original cone sealing structure of the tire inflating valve, the sealing ring on the push rod, and the sealing structure at the connection interface. This segmentation allows each sealing element to maintain its function independently, preventing the abandonment of the main sealing function while enabling the push rod mechanism to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A sealing ring is introduced as an intermediary element between the push rod and the external inflating valve body. This sealing ring maintains the sealing function at the connection interface, ensuring that the push rod mechanism does not compromise the overall sealing performance of the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Strength

If the external inflating valve uses a welded connection with loading devices, then the structural integrity is improved, but the processing technology becomes complicated and the reliability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidprocessing technology
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The welding connection is replaced with a threaded mechanical connection system. The external inflating valve body is provided with threads that engage with corresponding threads on the loading device, eliminating the need for welding operations. This substitution maintains structural integrity through mechanical fastening while significantly simplifying the processing technology and improving reliability through reversible, precise connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Device complexity

If the external inflating valve is designed for single function, then the structure is simplified, but the inflation and deflation operations become inconvenient and the applicability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidinflation and deflation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The external inflating valve is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating both inflation and deflation capabilities in a single integrated structure. The valve body includes separate pathways and control mechanisms that allow it to perform multiple functions without requiring separate devices, thereby improving convenience and applicability while maintaining reasonable structural simplicity.

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

4Stability of the object's composition

If the inner spring of the valve core is in a state of extreme compression for a long time, then the valve core remains closed during operation, but the yielding deformation dysfunctions the check valve of the valve core

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalve core positionVSAvoidcheck valve function
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A cushioning structure is provided in the valve core assembly to prevent the inner spring from being in a state of extreme compression. The cushioning element absorbs excess compression forces and protects the spring from yielding deformation, thereby maintaining the check valve function and preventing dysfunction while allowing the valve core to remain stable during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
