Solution Overview

Problem

Existing beverage brewing containers fail to effectively separate undissolved coffee powder from the liquid, leading to poor taste and splashing during pouring due to the inability to filter out undissolved particles.

Innovation Solution

An integrated lid structure with a filter screen module, including a detachable filter screen member, is incorporated into the lid, allowing for in-built filtration of undissolved matter before pouring, with snap or threaded connections for easy attachment and detachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If no filter is integrated into the lid structure, then the device complexity is low, but the filtering function is missing causing undissolved matter to be poured out

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering functionVSAvoidlid structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter screen module is integrated into the lid structure by combining the filtering function with the existing lid components. The filter screen member is positioned within the lid's filter screen space and secured through connecting portions, creating a unified structure that performs both lid closure and liquid filtration functions simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the filter screen member is detachably connected, then the ease of operation is improved for cleaning and maintenance, but the reliability of the connection may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilter screen member attachmentVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting portions are pre-designed with complementary shapes (protrusion and recess structures) that automatically align and engage when the filter screen member is inserted into the lid. This preliminary design ensures proper positioning and secure connection without requiring additional assembly steps, maintaining both ease of operation and connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If the filter screen member is arranged relative to the filter screen space, then the filtering effect is improved, but the device complexity increases due to integrated structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering effectVSAvoidintegrated lid structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter screen member is positioned specifically within the filter screen space of the lid, creating a localized filtering zone. The filter screen member's mesh structure provides concentrated filtering capability at the critical location where liquid exits the container, ensuring effective filtration without requiring the entire lid structure to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The integrated lid structure effectively filters undissolved particles within the container, improving taste and reducing splashing by ensuring that undissolved matter is retained within the container during pouring.

Implementation Method 1

the filter screen member is configured to filter to-be-dissolved matter, and when the filter screen member is connected to the lid, the filter screen member filters the to-be-dissolved matter in the container body

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectPhysical filtration: Filter (physical)
