Solution Overview

Problem

Existing toothpaste compositions containing ganoderma lucidum spore have poor tartar removal efficacy and unpleasant taste, and the sporoderm-broken spore's high proportion is difficult to maintain during preparation.

Innovation Solution

A toothpaste composition method involving sporoderm-broken ganoderma lucidum spore, calcium hydrogen phosphate, Panax notoginseng powder, and radix scutellariae root powder, with a modified grafting process using acrylate epoxy resin, is developed to enhance tartar removal and taste, and improve calcium absorption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If ganoderma lucidum spore is wrapped into particles to maintain activity, then the activity of ganoderma lucidum component is preserved, but the tartar removal effect is insufficient and taste is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity of ganoderma lucidum componentVSAvoidtartar removal effect and taste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-breaking the sporoderm of ganoderma lucidum spores before incorporating them into the toothpaste matrix. This pre-processing step ensures that the spores are ready for effective calcium release during brushing, rather than requiring complete breakdown during the brushing process itself. The sporoderm-broken spores are prepared in advance and mixed with calcium hydrogen phosphate to create a composition that will gradually release calcium ions when exposed to oral conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical state and chemical accessibility parameters of the ganoderma lucidum spores by breaking the sporoderm structure. This structural modification transforms the spores from a state where calcium is tightly bound and inaccessible to a state where calcium can be gradually released. The breakdown of the chitin fiber structure changes the permeability and reactivity parameters, allowing calcium ions to be released more effectively during brushing while improving taste and tartar removal properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-generated harmful factors

If sporoderm-broken ganoderma lucidum spore is used to improve tartar removal, then tartar removal effect is enhanced, but the stability of spore structure during preparation is difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetartar removal effectVSAvoidstability of spore structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces calcium hydrogen phosphate as an intermediary substance that mediates between the sporoderm-broken ganoderma lucidum spores and the toothpaste matrix. This intermediary component serves multiple functions: it provides additional calcium source for tartar removal, stabilizes the broken spore structure during storage and preparation, and facilitates controlled calcium release during brushing. The calcium hydrogen phosphate acts as a buffer and structural support that maintains the integrity of the sporoderm-broken spores while enabling their tartar removal function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If ganoderma lucidum component is incorporated into toothpaste matrix, then calcium absorption is enhanced, but the preparation process becomes complex and operation difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalcium absorptionVSAvoidpreparation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functional components into a single integrated toothpaste composition. The sporoderm-broken ganoderma lucidum spores, calcium hydrogen phosphate, Panax notoginseng powder, and radix scutellariae root powder are combined in a unified matrix that provides simultaneous calcium supplementation, tartar removal, and oral health benefits. This merging approach simplifies the preparation process by eliminating the need for separate application of multiple products, while the vacuum mixing technique ensures homogeneous distribution of all components in a single mixing step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
