Solution Overview

Problem

Existing infusion bag pressing devices are prone to excessive expansion or distortion, making them inefficient for rapid and complete discharge of infusion solutions, and are costly due to complex structures.

Innovation Solution

An infusion bag pressing device with an air storage space and a pressing bag that includes unit space portions separated by an interval maintaining member, which is coupled to the pressing bag to prevent excessive expansion, allowing for controlled and efficient discharge of infusion solutions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Productivity

If the pressing bag is expanded by air flowing into the air storage space, then the infusion bag can be pressed to discharge the infusion solution, but the pressing bag may be excessively expanded or distorted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedischarge speed of infusion solutionVSAvoidshape stability of pressing bag
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The air storage space is divided into multiple unit space portions by interval maintaining members. These members segment the single large air storage space into several smaller units, preventing the pressing bag from excessive expansion or distortion while still enabling effective pressing action on the infusion bag.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Interval maintaining members are introduced as intermediary elements within the air storage space. These members act as mediators that control the expansion behavior of the pressing bag, preventing direct excessive contact between the expanding air and the pressing bag walls, thereby maintaining shape stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If a piston-type or syringe-type medicine injection device is used to inject large amount of medicine emergently, then the injection speed can be increased, but the device structure becomes complicated and manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection speed of medicineVSAvoidstructural complexity of injection device
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex piston or syringe mechanisms are extracted and replaced with a simple air-filled pressing bag system. The invention takes out the complicated mechanical injection components and substitutes them with a simpler pneumatic pressing mechanism that achieves the same emergency injection function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The pressing bag system uses simple, inexpensive materials compared to piston-type or syringe-type devices. The air storage space and pressing bag can be designed as disposable or single-use components, significantly reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining the ability to inject large amounts of medicine emergently.

Inventive Principle:
