Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing grinding containers face challenges in maintaining proper alignment and stability of moving components, leading to potential abrasion and damage due to either excessive rigidity or flexibility in the supporting parts.
Innovation Solution
A grinding container design that incorporates a container body with a main shell and socket cylinder, a piston with a guide slit, and a dial with guide pillars and a reinforcing wall, ensuring appropriate flexibility and alignment of moving components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the parts supporting the moving components are made rigid, then the alignment stability is improved, but the stress concentration and component damage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible supporting parts including a flexible support plate and flexible connecting rods that can bend and deform elastically. These flexible components maintain proper alignment of moving parts while absorbing stresses through elastic deformation, preventing stress concentration and component damage. The flexible support plate specifically adapts to misalignments between the piston and container body, and the flexible connecting rods transmit forces while accommodating positional variations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the parts supporting the moving components are made flexible, then the stress distribution is improved, but the alignment stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic support system where the flexible support plate and connecting rods can adapt their configuration based on operational conditions. The flexible components provide the necessary compliance to maintain alignment stability while distributing stresses, effectively combining the benefits of both rigid and flexible structures through controlled elasticity and geometric design.
3Manufacturing precision
If the piston and dial components are tightly coupled, then the grinding precision is improved, but the operational convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the coupling system into segmented, modular components including the piston, flexible connecting rods, and dial. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the piston maintains precise positioning for grinding accuracy, while the dial provides ergonomic operation through flexible connection elements that accommodate user manipulation without compromising the precision of the grinding action.

AI summary
A grinding container that can provide a solidified product in a ground form is described. The grinding container includes: a container body that includes a main shell and a socket cylinder, where the main shell may form a mounting space having an open top on its inner side, and the socket cylinder may form a manipulation channel on its inner side that provides communication between the mounting space and the exterior; a piston that has a guide slit formed in its upper surface and is configured to move along a vertical direction in relation to the container body; a dial that is rotatably coupled to the container body and includes a guide pillar extending up to the mounting space through the manipulation channel; and a cutter plate that includes a cutter blade formed on its bottom surface for grinding the solidified content.
