Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carrying cases for pharmaceutical injection devices lack space for spare pharmaceuticals requiring temperature control and often require users to carry separate electric charging devices, leading to inconvenience and the risk of forgetting to bring them.
Innovation Solution
A carrying case with an integrated electric charging device and temperature regulation unit, allowing for the accommodation of a pharmaceutical injection device, spare pharmaceuticals, and providing a built-in electric charging system, including a primary battery and AC adaptor, to ensure continuous power supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional carrying case is used to accommodate a pharmaceutical injection device, then the device can be carried, but users must separately carry an electric charging device which takes additional space and may be forgotten
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the electric charging device with the carrying case by mounting the charging device on the inner wall of the case. The charging terminal extends from the case to electrically connect with the pharmaceutical injection device, integrating two previously separate functions (carrying and charging) into a single unified system.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying case is transformed into a multi-functional device that simultaneously provides carrying protection and electric charging capabilities. The case structure serves dual purposes: as a protective container for the pharmaceutical injection device and as an integrated charging station with power supply and electrical connection functions.
2Volume of stationary object
If a conventional carrying case is used, then basic accommodation is provided, but there is insufficient space for spare pharmaceuticals requiring temperature control
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying case is divided into multiple functional zones: a first accommodating space for the pharmaceutical injection device with charging functionality, and a second accommodating space for spare pharmaceuticals or other equipment. This segmentation allows the case to efficiently organize and store multiple different items with their specific requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the carrying case includes more equipment, then functionality is improved, but the case size and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The electric charging device is mounted on the inner wall of the carrying case, utilizing the existing case structure as a container for the charging components. The charging terminal extends from the case interior, nesting the charging function within the case boundaries rather than adding external attachments, thereby minimizing increases in overall case size and weight.
