Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bottle stoppers lack features to enhance identification and overall appearance, failing to effectively attract consumers and differentiate wine bottles.
Innovation Solution
A luminous bottle stopper comprising a light guide body, light emitting module, power module, stopper cover, and flexible sleeve made of light transmitting materials, which provides lighting effects to enhance identification and appearance by transmitting light through the stopper and surrounding bottle area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If traditional bottle stoppers are used, then the bottle mouth can be sealed, but the identification and overall appearance cannot be enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds the light emitting module and power module within the accommodating space of the light guide body, nesting functional components inside the stopper structure. This allows the lighting function to be integrated into the stopper without significantly increasing external complexity or size.
Solution Approach 2:
The light guide body acts as an intermediary that receives light from the light emitting module and transmits it through the light guide column to illuminate the bottle mouth area. This mediator approach enables distributed lighting effects while keeping the light source compact.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional features are added to enhance identification and appearance, then consumer attraction increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle stopper integrates multiple functions: sealing the bottle mouth and providing lighting for identification. The light guide body serves both as a structural component for sealing and as a light transmission medium, achieving multi-functionality without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes light emission and transmission through the light guide body and flexible sleeve to create visual identification effects. The lighting can enhance the appearance and distinguishability of the bottle, providing adaptability for different identification needs.
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 luminous bottle stopper effectively enhances the identification and uniqueness of wine bottles by providing a creative and aesthetically appealing lighting effect, improving consumer appeal and purchase intention.
Implementation Method 1
The light guide body and the flexible sleeve are made of light transmitting material; therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting element will be transmitted to the light guide seat and the light guide column and then transmitted to the outside through the light guide seat
