Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and pills for conditioning yang deficiency constitution are cumbersome to administer and have poor efficacy, making it difficult for patients to maintain long-term treatment, and there is a need for a more convenient and effective oral formulation that can enhance yang qi and prevent diseases, especially during winter.

Innovation Solution

A Chinese herbal oral paste comprising a blend of specific herbs and gelatins, processed through soaking, decoction, and concentration, creating a high-concentration paste with a pleasant taste, designed to condition yang deficiency constitution by warming yang and nourishing the body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are used for conditioning yang deficiency constitution, then the efficacy is relatively good, but the administration is complicated and the taste is poor, making it difficult for patients to maintain long-term treatment

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveefficacyVSAvoidadministration convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the traditional liquid decoction form into a concentrated paste form by changing the physical state and concentration parameters. The paste is prepared by decocting herbs and then concentrating the extract to a thick consistency, which can be easily stored and administered without complex preparation steps while maintaining the therapeutic efficacy of the original decoction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary preparation by pre-cooking and concentrating the herbal decoction into a paste form that can be stored and administered conveniently. This preliminary action eliminates the need for daily decoction preparation by patients, making long-term treatment more feasible while preserving the therapeutic components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If Chinese patent medicine pills are used for conditioning yang deficiency constitution, then the administration is convenient, but the efficacy is relatively poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadministration convenienceVSAvoidefficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite paste formulation that combines multiple herbal extracts with a carrier substance (such as honey or syrup) to form a stable, palatable paste. This composite structure maintains the therapeutic efficacy of the herbs while improving administration convenience and patient compliance compared to traditional pills

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If a solid oral paste with higher drug concentration is developed, then the efficacy is improved and administration is simplified, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveefficacyVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the manufacturing process into distinct stages: herbal preparation and decoction, filtration to separate solids from liquids, and concentration to achieve the desired paste consistency. This segmentation simplifies the overall manufacturing process by breaking it down into manageable steps with standard equipment requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
