Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional water bottles lack additional functionality that enhances their convenience and usability, particularly in low-light environments.
Innovation Solution
A luminous water bottle design incorporating a lighting assembly with a light-generating unit and an illumination member, featuring a light-emitting diode (LED) and a power source, which disperses light through a columnar acrylic plastic member to provide illumination and a decorative effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional water bottle design is used, then the structure remains simple and manufacturing cost is low, but the functionality is limited and lacks additional features for enhanced convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single water bottle system: the bottle body serves as both a container and a housing for the lighting assembly, the lid integrates a spigot for dispensing, and the illumination member serves both functional illumination and decorative purposes. This merging of functions increases versatility without proportionally increasing structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The water bottle is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a beverage container, a portable light source (torch), and a decorative item. The lighting assembly can be used for illumination in dark conditions, while the overall design allows the bottle to function as a multi-purpose device that adapts to different usage scenarios.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a lighting assembly is added to the water bottle, then decorative and lighting effects are provided, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting assembly is nested within the bottle body structure. The light-generating unit and illumination member are positioned inside the space defined by the bottle body, utilizing the existing structural volume. This nesting approach allows the lighting function to be integrated without requiring additional external components or significantly increasing the overall device complexity.

AI summary
A luminous water bottle includes a bottle body, a lid, and a lighting assembly. The bottle body has a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall extending upwardly from a periphery of the bottom wall and cooperating with the bottom wall to define a space. The surrounding wall has an upper end opposite to the bottom wall. The lid is releasably engaged with the upper end of the surrounding wall. The lighting assembly is disposed at least partially in the space and includes a light-generating unit for generating and emitting light, and an illumination member for dispersing the light emitted by the light-generating unit.
