Liquid object dispenser
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid object dispensers require separate mechanisms for each storage tank and dispense liquids to different locations, increasing the area needed for dispensing.
Innovation Solution
A liquid object dispenser with a transfer table that rotates to position multiple containers at a single dispensing position, allowing all containers to dispense liquids onto the same place, and includes a dispensing mechanism that presses the push button on each container to release the liquid.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate mechanisms are prepared for each storage tank, then each container can be dispensed independently, but the device complexity and area required for dispensing increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single dispensing mechanism is designed to handle multiple containers through the transfer table system. The transfer table rotates to bring different containers into position with the fixed dispensing mechanism, allowing one mechanism to serve multiple storage tanks without requiring separate mechanisms for each container
Solution Approach 2:
The transfer table acts as an intermediary component between the multiple storage tanks and the single dispensing mechanism. It receives containers from different storage tanks, positions them sequentially at the dispensing location, and enables the fixed dispensing mechanism to access multiple containers without moving itself
2Adaptability or versatility
If liquid objects are dispensed from multiple storage tanks onto different places, then each liquid can be dispensed independently, but the area required for dispensing increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple dispensing operations that would traditionally occur at different locations are merged into a single dispensing location. The transfer table brings multiple containers to the same fixed dispensing point, consolidating what would have been multiple dispersed dispensing areas into one centralized location
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a spatial arrangement where multiple dispensing points are distributed across different areas to a temporal arrangement where multiple containers are brought sequentially to a single point through rotational movement of the transfer table, effectively moving the solution from spatial distribution to temporal sequencing
3Area of stationary object
If a transfer table is used to bring multiple containers to a single dispensing position, then the dispensing area is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transfer table introduces dynamic rotational movement to a previously static dispensing arrangement. By rotating the transfer table, the system dynamically repositions containers relative to the fixed dispensing mechanism, enabling multiple containers to access a single dispensing point without requiring multiple static dispensing stations

AI summary
A liquid object dispenser includes a body, multiple containers (500), a transfer table (110) including multiple container accommodating parts accommodating the multiple containers, the transfer table being able to relatively transfer the container accommodating parts to a replacement position in the body at which the containers are replaced and to a dispensing position in the body at which the stored liquids of the containers accommodated in the container accommodating parts are dispensed, and a liquid object dispensing part configured to cause the stored liquids of the containers accommodated in the container accommodating parts at the dispensing position to be dispensed.
