Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carrying cases for pharmaceutical injection devices require users to carry separate electric charging devices, leading to inconvenience and the risk of forgetting to bring them, and lack space for spare pharmaceuticals that require temperature control.
Innovation Solution
A carrying case with a built-in temperature regulation unit and electric charging device, including a cooling execution section, cooling fan, and cooling control section, which is powered by the electric charging device, allowing for integrated charging and temperature control within the case.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users carry separate electric charging devices for pharmaceutical injection devices, then the injection device can be charged, but users experience inconvenience and risk of forgetting to bring the charger
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the electric charging device directly into the carrying case structure. The charging device includes a charging terminal that contacts the injection device when placed in the case, eliminating the need for users to carry separate chargers. This merging of charging functionality into the case itself resolves the contradiction by reducing the number of separate devices while maintaining charging capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying case provides self-service charging functionality where the case itself acts as the charging device. When the pharmaceutical injection device is placed in the carrying case, the integrated charging terminal automatically establishes electrical connection and begins charging without requiring user intervention to connect external chargers. This self-service approach improves convenience while reducing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the carrying case accommodates only the injection device, then the case remains compact, but there is no space for spare pharmaceuticals requiring temperature control
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying case is designed with multi-functionality to accommodate both the pharmaceutical injection device and spare pharmaceuticals simultaneously. The case includes dedicated accommodation spaces for the injection device and additional compartments for spare pharmaceuticals, all under a single temperature-controlled environment. This universal design allows the case to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate containers, thereby increasing adaptability while managing volume efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying case employs a nested structure with an inner case that can be placed within the outer case. The inner case accommodates the injection device while the outer case provides additional space for spare pharmaceuticals. This nested arrangement maximizes the use of available volume and allows compact storage of multiple items that require temperature control, effectively increasing capacity without proportionally increasing overall case size.
3Reliability
If a temperature regulation unit is added to the carrying case, then pharmaceuticals can be temperature controlled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The temperature regulation unit is merged with the existing electric charging device structure within the carrying case. The temperature control system shares the same power supply and control circuitry as the charging function, rather than being a completely separate system. This integration reduces the overall device complexity while maintaining reliable temperature control capability for pharmaceuticals.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying case is designed with multi-functionality to accommodate both the pharmaceutical injection device and spare pharmaceuticals simultaneously. The case includes dedicated accommodation spaces for the injection device and additional compartments for spare pharmaceuticals, all under a single temperature-controlled environment. This universal design allows the case to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate containers, thereby increasing adaptability while managing volume efficiently.
