Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional ignition devices, such as lighters and igniters, have limited functionality and often incorporate low-applicability and high-cost auxiliary tools that compromise their appearance and practicality.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional ignition device design featuring a housing with a slip-fit clamping sleeve and tool pull rod, including a windshield sheet for wind resistance and a cigarette presser or screwdriver mechanism, enhancing usability and functionality while maintaining a compact form.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If auxiliary tools are added to traditional ignition devices, then functionality is improved, but appearance is significantly influenced and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tool pull rod is nested within the accommodating cavity of the housing, and the clamping sleeve is nested within the same cavity. The tool pull rod can be extended from the bottom of the housing when needed and retracted back into the cavity when not in use. This nesting arrangement allows the ignition device to maintain a compact, clean appearance while providing auxiliary tool functionality when required.
2Adaptability or versatility
If auxiliary tools are added to traditional ignition devices, then functionality is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tool pull rod serves multiple functions: it acts as an auxiliary tool (cigarette presser or screwdriver) when extended, and its windshield sheet structure provides wind resistance protection for the flame when in position. The clamping sleeve provides both structural support and clamping function. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby controlling manufacturing cost while enhancing functionality.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If a windshield sheet is added to resist wind, then flame protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The windshield sheet is merged with the tool pull rod structure, forming an integrated component. The clamping sleeve is merged with the accommodating cavity structure through slip-fit connection. These merging arrangements allow the windshield sheet to provide wind resistance functionality without requiring separate mounting structures or additional components, thereby minimizing device complexity while effectively protecting the flame from wind.
