Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lids with drinking devices suffer from poor sealing performance, leading to liquid overflow, which compromises user experience.

Innovation Solution

A movable opening lid with a water inlet unit at the bottom and a movable unit on the side, equipped with a sealing element featuring multiple ribs, allows manual control of liquid flow through a simple structure, ensuring effective sealing and easy operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a sliding lid is used to expose or seal the suction pipe, then the drinking experience is improved, but the sealing performance deteriorates causing liquid overflow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrinking experienceVSAvoidsealing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing element is divided into multiple independent sealing ribs (first sealing rib, second sealing rib, third sealing rib) that work together to provide comprehensive sealing. This segmentation allows each rib to seal specific gaps independently, ensuring reliable sealing while maintaining the sliding mechanism's operability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing element combines multiple sealing ribs made of sealing material to form a composite structure. This composite design enhances the overall sealing performance by addressing multiple potential leakage paths simultaneously, preventing liquid overflow while preserving the sliding lid's functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If a complex sealing structure is added to improve sealing performance, then liquid overflow is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple sealing ribs are integrated into a single sealing element that is attached to the movable unit. This merging approach consolidates what could be separate components into one unified part, providing enhanced sealing performance without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing element serves multiple sealing functions simultaneously through its different ribs, which seal various gaps and interfaces. This multi-functionality allows a single component to address multiple sealing requirements, improving reliability without adding numerous separate parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
