Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of substance

If traditional sealed bag design is used, then manufacturing is simple, but material use is excessive and sealing performance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial useVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The sealed bag is divided into multiple functional zones including first and second folding portions, sealing portions, and closing structures. This segmentation allows precise material placement and reduces overall material consumption while maintaining structural integrity and ease of manufacturing through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If traditional sealing method is used, then manufacturing is simple, but sealing performance is insufficient causing leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoidsealing structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing structure incorporates localized sealing portions with specific width measurements (3-8cm) positioned at critical areas where sealing is needed. This local quality approach enhances sealing performance at specific points without requiring complex sealing mechanisms throughout the entire bag structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The folding portions are pre-formed and positioned before final sealing, creating a predetermined structure that guides the sealing process. This preliminary action ensures proper alignment and contact between sealing surfaces, improving sealing reliability while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If asymmetric bag structure is used, then design is simple, but bag deforms or breaks during use affecting stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstructural design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sealed bag employs asymmetric folding patterns where the first folding portion and second folding portion have different configurations relative to the sealing portion. This controlled asymmetry optimizes structural stability during use while maintaining design simplicity through clear geometric relationships between components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

4Reliability

If bottom seal is not tight enough, then manufacturing is simple, but contents leak affecting product safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveleak preventionVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom sealing area incorporates a dedicated sealing portion with specific dimensional parameters (width of 3-8cm) positioned at the bottom closure area. This localized enhancement of sealing quality prevents leakage at the critical bottom seal without requiring complex sealing mechanisms throughout the entire manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

5Reliability

If complex opening and closing design is used, then sealing performance is improved, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The closing mechanism is segmented into first and second closings with distinct folding portions that can be independently manipulated. This segmentation simplifies user interaction by allowing step-by-step opening and closing operations while maintaining strong sealing performance through the distributed sealing portions at each closing point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

6Strength

If excessive material is used for sealed bag, then structural strength is improved, but portability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidbag weight
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The bag structure is segmented into functional zones with material concentrated where structural strength is needed (folding portions, sealing areas) and minimized in non-critical areas. This selective material distribution maintains necessary structural strength while reducing overall bag weight and improving portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
