Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fluid micro-injection devices face issues with inaccurate adjustment of impact force for fluid ejection, high maintenance costs due to wear on moving parts, and cumbersome installation and disassembly processes, leading to inefficient fluid ejection.

Innovation Solution

An execution system for a fluid micro-injection device featuring a base body with a movable executor and an adjustable adjusting member, which allows for precise adjustment of the pre-tightening force of the executor, enabling accurate control of the movable member's displacement and fluid ejection effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a flexible hinge mechanism or operating element is used to perform secondary movement of the closing element, then the fluid micro-injection function is achieved, but both ends of the closing element are worn increasing replacement frequency and maintenance cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefluid micro-injection functionVSAvoidreplacement frequency and maintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the wear-prone secondary movement function from the closing element itself and relocates it to a separate lever mechanism. The lever performs the secondary movement independently, allowing the closing element to focus on its primary sealing function without wear from repeated secondary movements, thereby reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the closing element into two separate components: the closing element itself and the lever. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function - the closing element for sealing and the lever for movement - reducing wear on the closing element and facilitating easier replacement of only the lever when wear occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the closing element lifting height is not adjustable or adjustment precision is low, then the structure is simple, but the impact force for fluid ejection is not adjustable or inaccurately adjusted resulting in poor fluid ejection effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidlifting height adjustment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an adjustable lifting height mechanism through the lever's rotatable connection with the closing element. The lever can be positioned at different angles relative to the closing element, dynamically adjusting the lifting height to precisely control the impact force for fluid ejection, while maintaining relatively simple structural implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If related mountings are designed for secure installation, then the device stability is improved, but installation and disassembly become cumbersome resulting in low installation efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoidinstallation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the mounting structure into detachable components with standardized connection interfaces. The lever and executor can be independently installed and removed from the base body, allowing for quick maintenance and replacement without disturbing the entire device structure, thereby improving installation efficiency while maintaining stability through standardized connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
